Neptune's Attic

Visit the iconic, star-shaped Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine. Best known for its role during the War of 1812, this fort is the one that inspired "The Star-Spangled Banner." Stop by the visitor´s center for information about the history and culture of this site, or learn more about nature and science at this expansive landmark attraction.

Take to the trees at The Adventure Park at Sandy Spring Friends School for the largest aerial forest adventure in North America. Challenge yourself to a ropes course between the tree platforms, climb up to different levels and use zip lines as bridges. A visit to The Adventure Park makes for some extreme sports fun.
