Baltimore is the home to some of the most fun and exciting attractions in Maryland. Many are surprised to learn that Charm City's best attractions are hidden in plain sight or tucked away from the everyday hustle and bustle. Spend the summer exploring these hidden secret spots across Baltimore.
Sherwood Gardens
Although owned and operated by a private foundation, Sherwood Gardens is open to the public. Visitors are invited to stroll through the six-acre property and indulge in a picnic lunch surrounded by the flowers of the season. Visit the gardens this summer for the perfect summer day amongst the marigolds, perennials, and shrubs.
