Whether you are looking to entertain the kids on a budget or catch a legendary film on the big screen, here is what is happening around Charm City today.
$10 Community Day at Port Discovery Children's Museum
For families looking for an educational and energetic start to the week, Port Discovery Children's Museum is hosting one of its popular Community Days. Today, admission is reduced to just $10 per person, providing full access to three floors of interactive exhibits. It is an excellent opportunity for children to explore the SkyClimber, learn through water play in Wonders of Water, and engage in imaginative role-playing in the Tiny's Diner. The event runs from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at 35 Market Place. We recommend arriving early as these discounted days are popular with local families and community groups.
Classic Cinema at The Senator Theatre: Batman (1989)
Film enthusiasts have a rare treat this afternoon at the historic Senator Theatre. As part of their revival series, the theater is screening the 1989 classic Batman directed by Tim Burton. Witness Michael Keaton's iconic performance as the Caped Crusader and Jack Nicholson’s legendary Joker on the massive big screen of this North Baltimore landmark. The screening is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. Given the theater's status as a world-renowned cinematic icon, this is a perfect way to spend a cold Monday afternoon in a beautifully restored Art Deco setting.
Art Exhibition Opening: "Big Bang Baby" by LUSMERLIN
Today marks the opening of a vibrant new exhibition titled "Big Bang Baby" by the artist LUSMERLIN. Located at the Rouse Company Foundation Gallery, this immersive public art exhibition explores ancestral divinity and science through a radiant display of light and color. While located just a short drive from the city center at Howard Community College, it is a featured highlight of the regional arts calendar today. The gallery is open from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., making it accessible for both daytime visitors and those looking for an evening cultural fix. Admission to this exhibition is free to the public.
Editor's Note: Weather Advisory
Local residents should be aware that some venues have reported potential schedule adjustments due to recent winter storm conditions. While the Senator Theatre and Port Discovery have confirmed their Monday programming, we suggest checking with individual venues before heading out to ensure no last-minute weather-related closures affect your plans.
