Set Sail for School

At Port Discovery, we know that the beginning of the school year sparks a complex mixture of big feelings in children, and we strive to ensure it’s the big positive feelings that get the upper hand. As the school-jitter-storm gathers, consider Port Discovery to be your anchor. Our annual Set Sail for School event brings the Baltimore community together to support this transitional time for children and promote their love of learning and play.

Featuring three floors of interactive exhibits, hands-on experiences, and entertaining programs – Port Discovery Children’s Museum is a space for adults and kids to collaborate, be brave, grow creativity and so much more. Special moments at the museum turn into lasting memories, and it starts with your visit.

As part of Set Sail, we will be offering a special admission rate for Baltimore City residents: $5 admission per person for Baltimore City residents on August 8, 2026. To redeem this offer, guests must present a valid Maryland ID or driver’s license with an approved Baltimore City zip code at the time of in-house purchase, for up to five discounted admissions in-person only.
