On Sunday, my family was lucky enough to be invited to the new exhibit at Port Discovery in Baltimore, Md. We love Port Discovery. Michael loves the climbing structure and the Egypt exhibit and the Mystery House. It is one of our favorite day trips.
I was thrilled when the lovely people at Port Discovery invited me and my family to spend the day there. Not just because we enjoy the place so much, but also, it was the first long distance drive for the Prius! And Doug announced, I think I like this car better than your Passat. And I did not kill him. Win/Win.
The new Tinkertoy exhibit was our first stop after they provided us with breakfast. The 1,500 square foot exhibit, targeted to children ages 3-10, includes giant replicas of the classic Tinkertoy construction set.
Throughout the exhibit, children are encouraged to invent, collaborate, energize, change, process, connect, develop, create, and PLAY. A museum, that encourages children to touch! No wonder my 6 year old loves it!
One lucky reader will be awarded a family 4 pack of tickets for admission to Port Discovery in Baltimore, MD. If you are local, or plan to be in the Baltimore, MD area this summer Port Discovery is a great place to spend the day. The tickets will be good through the summer.
To enter, comment on this post telling me why you want to visit Port Discovery and the Tinkertoy exhibit this summer.
For one extra entry, like my new Facebook page and leave me a separate comment telling me you have done so.
Contest closes Friday June 17th and a winner will be announced Saturday June 18th. The winner will be picked randomly.
**My family received free admissions to Port Discovery and was invited to a special members breakfast. Michael was also given a goodie bag. I was not compensated for this post. All opinions are my own.

I’ve loved every trip we’ve made to Port Discovery. Adding tinker toys doubles the fun!
We haven’t been to PD in a few years, so my now three year old hasn’t had the experience of more than the baby room! But, Tinkertoys? Oh my, how they’re loved by all of my kids, and the age range on the exhibit fits us perfectly (with 3, 5, and 10 year olds in our family!).
Thanks for the opportunity!
I’m a “liker” on FB, too!
We’re thinking we’re due for a daytrip into Baltimore– haven’t been in four or five years. We’ve never been to the Port Discovery Museum, would love to check it out
We keep meaning to go and haven’t made it yet. My budding engineer 5 year old would love the tinkertoys. Pick me please!
I want to visit Port Discovery because we haven’t been there for 2 years–w/o a stroller!–so my kids would LOVE to see it w/ ‘big kid’ eyes!
Oh, me! Me! We keep meaning to take the kids there but then it always turns out we are too lazy. This would force us to go.
I haven’t been to Port Discovery since my now-16 yr old was around 6 or 7! I’d love to make a day trip of it with the 4 and 5 yr olds!! Loved that place then, bet it’s even better now!
I want tickets because my kids would love it and since you love my kids you should give it to us.
ok I liked your FB page. Points for me for being a joiner.
We went to Port Discovery for the first time for Spring Break and would love to make a return trip! My daughter especially loved the mystery exhibit, but I think my son would love this new exhibit!
I’ve “liked” your new FB page!
We LOVE Port Discovery, but have only taken our 4 kids once due to the price. Our kids always ask to go back ad this would really help. And that new exhibit looks perfect for my 5yr old!
I’d love to win the tickets because we have not yet been to Port Discovery. My 2.5 year old daughter is now at the age where I know she’d love it. It would be great to do something different!
so fun! Lucas is WAY into building these days, he’d love this!!
I’m a facebook fan!
My kids love Port Discovery. We’d love to go play with the new exhibit!
And I like you on FB.
How fun! My son is too little to go, but I would LOVE to take my niece and nephew. They would have a blast!
We would love to go to Port Discovery! We’ve never been, we talk about it. And we know all our friends love it. But it’s just farther than we would tend to go, and it’s expensive, I know if we had free tickets, we would visit once and get hooked! Thanks for the giveaway!
My 8 year old likes to jump and slide through the 3-story urban treehouse – pick me, please!
We took Joshua there when he was little. I think both of my kids would love it now. I have to remember to take them back…
Great idea for a giveaway! Glad you all had a fun time there.
I would love to take the girls this summer!
I like you on Facebook, too – so one entry for each of my girls. How fun!
That place looks awesome. I wish I was going to be in the area. OH and I love MIchael’s shirt….more specifically my son would love it.
I love Tinker Toys! Seriously, when Peanut wants to sit down and play with them, I get pumped. They were one of my favorite toys as a kid.
And added bonus? I’m going to be in the Baltimore area next month!

Who wouldn’t want to go play with tinker toys?!
What a fun giveaway!
I liked your page on FB.
Tinker Toys? Be still my heart. We’d love tickets to go!
I am now your newest fan on Facebook
I would LOVE to take Hannah to Port Discovery! We haven’t been yet – I think it’s right up her alley!
I’m not local, so don’t include me in the giveaway…but I had to comment because the Boston Museum of Science had a similar exhibit this winter, but with K’Nex. It was a blast, so much so that it was hard to tear my boy away to see other things in the museum. I love the hands-on stuff!
I also just liked your FB page!
I would love to win because I have promised myself that THIS is the summer I will actually do all the fun stuff with my kids that I always think would be great but never get around to, and Port Discovery is on that list!
