What to do and see in Frederick, Maryland (MD): The Best Things to do Good for Couples

August 20, 2021 Franklyn Hardiman

With its collection of historic homes, museums and battlefields, Frederick, Maryland, is a must-see destination for any history enthusiast. The sites of two bloody Civil War battles are preserved at Monocacy National Park and South Mountain State Park. Within the city, visit the National Museum of Civil War Medicine and learn how soldiers wounded in those battles were treated, or visit the house of Barbara Fritchie and picture her hanging the Stars & Stripes in defiance of the Confederate Army.

So much fun! We went to Dragon Distillery for the first time this past weekend. The distillery hosted an AMAZING Valentine’s Day event complete with ax throwing, delicious drinks (try the Dark Knight and the Hot Buttered Rum!), an appetizer and a really cool alcohol infusion experience (can’t wait to see how they turn out!). The staff was super friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. I also want to give extra points for being extremely Covid compliant. My husband and I both mentioned multiple times throughout the event how safe we felt indoors due to the team’s hard work and diligence. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

OMG!!! I've done many escape rooms, but the excitement we met from the beginning of our first room from our Host Rachel was amazing!! I can't even give up too much but she really was attentive, helpful and comical. We did two rooms back to back; the Wild Wild Quest and Tyrannosaurus Rex really worked our mind and made us want more. One of their rooms I'm preparing for in the future, "The Witching Hour" is so intriguing for me to try, but i have to complete quite a few more rooms before we ready for that, lol.

My husband and I were seriously considering electric bikes. I have R/A and a bit of trouble with my knees, not to mention that I haven't ridden a bike in 30 years, so a regular bike was out of the question. After much research, we found Pedego, and then Mimi and Todd. They were safety conscious with masks, and outfitted us with the perfect bikes. We're still getting used to them, but are enjoying them so much. Mimi and Todd were both so helpful in making sure we had the right fit, and all the information we needed, as well as any safety equipment. Todd has great stories to tell, and they're certainly an "All Star" Business.

We see several music shows a year at the Weinberg and are rarely disappointed. Check their on-line schedule and pick anything that sounds reasonable if you've never been. You will likely enjoy it. You can also walk up and buy tickets at showtime or buy on line and get them at the will-call booth as you walk in.

Baker Park

Reviewed By W1702PJmarkg - Catonsville, United States

Baker Park is a 58 acre gem that meanders along the banks of Carroll Creek thru the heart of downtown Frederick. It is bordered by a historic neighborhood full of beautiful homes and only a short distance from Hood College. The park has baseball fields, a playground where we took our granddaughter, a lake, swimming pool, pavilions, a bandshell for summer concerts, gardens, fishing, trails, you name it. As nice as it is now, it must have been unbelievable for a small town Frederick when it was built in 1927.

Mount Olivet Cemetery

Reviewed By 990justinw - York, United States

I has a little trouble finding the entrance near Key's grave. Thankfully it's just inside the gate. There was a small area beside the grave I was able to park in. The grave is a giant monument complete with a statue of Key on top. A billboard near the monument has a button that plays the Star Spangled Banner. I can't review the rest of the grave because Key's grave is as far as I went.
