Baltimore Family Attractions- The Walters Art Museum Part 1
The Walters Art Museum is located at 600 North Charles Street in Baltimores historic Mt. Vernon Cultural District. Mt. Vernons Cultural District is about one mile north of the Inner Harbor. The museum is located near the MTA bus lines (Nos. 3, 11, 31, 61 and 64) and the Centre Street Light Rail stop. Main entrance to the museum is located on Centre Street near the corner of Centre and Cathedral Streets.
Parking
A staffed parking lot is located across the street from the museum at Centre and Cathedral streets. If you will stop by the Visitor Information Desk to get your parking ticket stamped you become eligible for a reduced parking rate.
Other nearby parking lots includes:
The Peabody Garage at Centre and St. Paul Streets
The Franklin Street Garage on West Franklin Street between Charles and Cathedral
An open lot between West Franklin Street and Centre Street near Park Avenue
The Peabody Court Hotel at the corner of Cathedral and Monument Streets offers valet parking.
Metered parking
Incidentally, the Walters Art Museum was just recently named one of the Top 10 admission-free attractions on the East Coast by AAA (2007).
An education in the arts benefits a childs overall ability to learn. Family time in an art museum can make learning fun experiences for all involved. Family programs allow children and their families a fun and informal way to explore 55 centuries of art at the Walters Art Museum.
The Walters Art Museum Family Program features are:
Walk, wonder and create family tours
Drop-In Art Activities
Scouting Programs
Birthday Celebrations
Summer Camp
Family Flick Days
Free Family Festivals
Gallery Fun
Art Carts
Discovery Quilts
Family Guides

Family Audio Guide
Wondrous Journey Passports
Walk, Wonder and Create Family Tours
An excellent way to learn more about the art objects found at the Walters Art Museum is their Walk, Wonder and Create Family Tours. The tours are held on selected Saturdays at 1 p.m. for 45 minutes. Visitors of all ages can enjoy an interactive, guided tour of the museums collections, or special exhibitions. After the tour you can visit the Family Art Center to create a project of your own.
Drop-in Art Activities in the Family Art Center
No registration is required for the drop-in art activities. You can go at anytime during the hours of 11 a.m. 3 p.m. on Saturday, make and take with you a piece of art you create. Museum Educators will help children and their families create artful projects related to the collection, special exhibitions and family tours. There is a new activity each week.
Scouting Programs
The Walters Art Museum invites girl and boy scouts of all ages to learn about the world of art and earn merit badges. The current price is $10 per scout and no charge for adult chaperones (2007). The scouting program is an interactive, two-hour program that includes:
A guided tour of selected artworks by a trained educator
Hands-on art activity based on specific badge guidelines
Specially designed Walters participatory patch
For private workshops focusing on Brownie/Junior Girl Scouts or Boy Scouts contact the museum (you will find more contact information for the Walters Art Museum by visiting the link to my web site in the resource box of this article. Once inside the web site, scroll down the left side menu bar to the category of Family Attractions Contact Information and Links.)
Senior Girl Scots and Cadettes can work towards earning their Museum Discovery Interest Project on an independent basis.
Birthdays
Art activities and gallery adventures can make birthday celebrations very memorable at the Walters Art Museum. Birthday parties are available for children age 4 10. Parties last two hours and include 90 minutes of hands-on experiences. The hands-on experiences include a tour and art activities, followed by a 30-minute birthday celebration. Current price in 2007 is $300 for members and $360 for non-members. Maximum number of children at each party is 15. One adult chaperone is required for every 5 children. No charge for the adult chaperones. Maximum of 30 guests total.
The museum provides cups, plates, utensils, napkins and juice, goody bags for each child, birthday JAM and WAM party invitations. For more information visit the link at the end of this article for contact information to the Family Programs at the Walter Art Museum.
Fun-filled party themes include:
Quest for the Mummy
The King is Coming!
New! Legend of the Samurai
New! Jungle Jamboree
Summer Camp
Each piece of artwork has a unique story to it. Summer camps offer morning and afternoon classes, or a child can bring lunch and stay for both classes. It is a great way for children to learn about large paintings, small sculptures, cartoons, and more.
Fees include guidance by professional art educators, tours of the museum, art materials, snacks and creative activities to promote intellectual and creative growth as well as the exploration of world cultures.
