What to do and see in Maryland, United States: The Best Game & Entertainment Centers

January 2, 2022 Rosalyn Ihle

Maryland is known as “America in Miniature” because of its great variations in topography and culture. This makes it a perfect east coat travel destination for those who would like to experience a little bit of everything. From amusement parks, to beaches, to mountains and historical sites, there is plenty to see and do. Each region of Maryland provides its own unique and fun activities to do. If you're headed for some fun in the sun in Ocean City on its eastern coast, be sure not to miss the Ocean City Beach, the Boardwalk, or Trimper's Rides and Amusement Park for an all-ages fun experience. Central Maryland is home to a Six Flags theme park, the Annapolis Golf Club, and countless hubs of art and culture such as the African Art Museum and Annapolis Opera, Inc. Heading to western Maryland? It is perfect for lovers of nature and the outdoors, with the Washington Monument State Park, Wisp Resort ski slopes, and the spectacular Muddy Creek Falls.

Breakout Games - Baltimore (Timonium)

This isn’t your average outing or everyday experience—Breakout is for those who would rather solve mysteries than watch someone else have all the fun. With different rooms that follow unique story lines, you and your friends will have 60 minutes to escape your adventure of choice by cracking codes, solving puzzles and following clues. Part problem solving, part adrenaline, end-to-end fun.

It was my first experience of an escape room and it was so much fun to be doing something challenging but not competitive, engaging but not stressful, and just plain silly- we laughed the whole time. The staff was friendly, organized and fun, without being cutesy. We will return!

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.

We attended a promotional event, arranged by Bunny, at Urban Axes last week. We had never been there before and had no idea what to expect. We joined in with a larger group, had some beer/wine, had a little buffet style food, had a coach teach us safety and how to throw axes, and played in a tournament --- AND HAD A BLAST!!! What a fun thing to do for happy hour or some Saturday night or have a work team building event, have a party with friends there.... endless ideas.

My kids gave me a gift certificate to this place for my birthday, and I had an absolute blast! Who wouldn't want to run a construction backhoe, even if only for a little while? The owner was great and made the experience a lot of fun. I got to stack tires and then knock them down with the bucket, move back and forth, and best of all, just dig in the dirt. I'm going back next summer with my sons-in-law for a competition. I highly recommend this place!

Earth Treks is the best gym and climbing facility I've even been to. The employees are friendly and the facilities are always clean. The community is pretty nice over all. People generally stay out of each others ways other than when they want to help you.

Old Pro Golf

Reviewed By Myuns22

Old Pro Golf is an indoor and outdoor mini golf center, with a family eccentric design. Inside Old Pro Golf surrounding the 18 holes, you get a tour of aquatic life such as statues of dolphins, whales, and sharks. Surrounding some holes is a small riverlet of water Outside Old Pro Golf is a dinosaur and prehistoric theme with dinosaurs such as the Triceratops and the Spinosaurus. In the corner of the main entrance, you can find an arcade with friendly, and fun games to play while waiting to play mini golf or after playing mini golf. Mini golf could get exhausting inside because of the body heat inside the large, spacious room. I suggest that you bring a fan to use while playing mini golf or after playing mini golf. Bring a jacket if it is 60 degrees or lower I suggest that you bring a jacket outside because it could get a bit chilly because of the wind.
