Baltimore over Spring Break

DH and I booked a hotel in Baltimore inner harbor during Spring Break. Going the Thursday after Easter till Saturday.
Anyone been there that time? Will it be nuts? WEll, too late at this point. LOL!

Can you recommend places to go, what to see and do with the kids? Restaurants?
The boys are 5 and 3.

Definitly want to do the aquarium and something on the water.
Any boat tours I can book?
Do I book anything in advance or just do it while we're there?

Thanks!

Re: Baltimore over Spring Break

I live right outside of Baltimore. I don't think the attractions will be TOO crazy-busy at that time, most of the schools here have the week before easter off so those kids won't be around. No idea if the tourists will be

I'd book the aquarium as soon as you know you're going because it does get crazy there, especially on weekends (it's $$$$ btw). I love Port Discovery for the little ones (mine were 3 and 1 when we took them and they LOVED it), there's also the science museum for the bigger ones. Tours of Camden Yards are popular.

My favorite restaurant isn't in the Inner Harbor, but walkable... Pratt Street Ale house... their beers are SO good. There's also Joe Squared near Port Discovery which is tasty (but I feel weird recommending a pizza place to a New Yorker).

We've purchased a water taxi ticket and used it to ride around the harbor. We got off at Fells Point and had lunch and got back on and went back to the Harbor. There are other boat tour options but this was the cheapest and most conducive to nap time
