Leslie (the owner of Vino 301 and tour operator) is an amazing and knowledgeable wine/tourism profession!
I brought a group of wine content creators (writers, content creators, social media personalities) out on a day of wine tasting c/o Wine Trail Adventures. Leslie shared great tips about the surrounding wineries and tips even I didn’t know! Despite the gloomy weather, Leslie was there with a smile and a goodie bag of wine glasses and bottles of water! Both smart and fun!
We visited Black Ankle and Hidden Hills Winery. One of the distinct advantages of taking a wine tour rather than going on your own is to have the testing set up tailored to your group. Because Leslie knew we were a group of knowledgeable wine lovers, she set up had an amazing and more advanced-like tasting from both wineries.
Thank you for the experience and the attention to detail to all the people at Vino 301! Happy to always tour with you guys!
4. NASA GSFC Visitor Center
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 132 reviews
A great rainy-day attraction near Wallops Island, the center conducts launches of its model rockets.
Reviewed By Publius-DC - Washington DC, District of Columbia
A mid-week visit does not lead to many crowds (or staff), which is nice, but the exhibits are sort of haphazard. Some cool items - like the interactive touchscreen presentations, the infrared camera, and the moon rock - but overall seems sort of tired. The rusting rockets in the back made it seem more like a private roadside attraction than the gateway to a NASA facility that employs 10,000 scientists and engineers.

Theater has been updated...with new seats. You will appreciate the reclining seats and seat choices, if the movie is not a "sell out" and theater is not too full. You might choose to use the venue in the earlier part of the day, as it seems to be cleaner.
6. Montpelier Mansion
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 55 reviews
Reviewed By Patrick S - Laurel, Maryland
We took the behind the scenes tour, which takes you to the attic, cellars, and hidden staircases. Somewhat challenging. Very knowledgeable guide who had lived at this pre-revolutionary war dwelling. House has been expanded, updated, and hosted a lot of interesting folk. See the vault in the basement.
Good place to visit during normal hours as well, particularly during the Holidays.
7. Historic Savage Mill
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By jaimeelsabio - Maryland
Went to the mill for the first time in a couple years and was disappointed. If it wasn't for the Ram's Head restaurant, French bakery, and antique center on the lower level, it seems the mill would close. In the old weave building, the only remaining store that's been in the mill since the late 80s is the Hands of Time clock repair shop. All the other stores seem to rotate in and out. Now, there are a couple crafts stores, a game store, and a used clothing shop; none of which would be worth a special visit. Worse, half the storefronts were vacant. I like the mill building, the nearby Bollman Truss railway bridge and the river, but there's no reason to go out of one's way to visit.

My girlfriend's niece' husband asked me yesterday if I had visited the "Autobahn Indoor Speedway" in Jessup, MD. I told him that I had heard of it, but that I had never visited it. He did a Google search and he determined that it was only 10 minutes from my girlfriend's home. We could not convince our companions to visit on 9 July 2017;however, I told him that I would visit it.
I did visit it on 10 July 2017 and it was worth it. I had driven stock cars at the Bill Scott Racing racetrack in 1992, and so I wanted to test out my racing skills. "What a ride!" I had to register first and take a photo before I received my "speedway license." The staff was extremely courteous and professional.
Next, I had to watch a safety video that instructed me on how to drive safely at the speedway. Another staff member provided me with a headsock and he sized me for a helmet. The facility has free personal lockers where you can store your personal belongings.
The speedway has two racetracks: The Le Mans and the Monaco. I chose to drive the LeMans racetrack. I was the only driver and so I had full use of the track. The "Marshall" led me on to the track. He was responsible for overseeing my driving and speed by using four flags: Black (warning), Yellow (brake), Green (increase speed), and Checked (end of race).
It took me awhile to get comfortable, but I gradually increased the speed and pushed the go-kart's limits. I only received one yellow flag and it was worth it. What a ride! I truly enjoyed my visit to the "Autobahn" and I have placed it on my list of places to visit for fun. You should make a special visit to the "Autobahn" if you find yourself in the vicinity of Jessup, MD. You won't regret it!
10. National Wildlife Visitor Center
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 56 reviews
The largest science and environmental education center in the Department of the Interior.
Reviewed By Randy L - Dubuque, Iowa
We've been driving through Maryland looking for national parks, historic sites, and well-advertised places of interest---the words "Visitor Center" drew us off the road every time. Those words caught our attention along the Baltimore-Washington Parkway and drew us into one of the most worthwhile stops on our vacation. Beyond the beautiful scenery and opportunities to hike in the area, there is a visitors' center of such imagination that it's a popular site for teachers to bring students during the year. This site sets the bar so high you might consider not bothering a visit to others.
