A Haunting You Will Go

From Zoo Boo at the Maryland Zoo, a Ghost Tour at Historic Savage Mill, the Haunted Dungeons at Fort Howard, or any of Maryland’s spooky attractions, the Old Line State is ready for a “spirited” Halloween. Make it a “terror-ific” getaway at the “haunted” Lord Baltimore Hotel. Or plan a few nights at the Wayside Inn, or the Robert Morris Inn, both recognized as some of the Mid-Atlantic’s “most haunted" places to rest your head.

Plan Your Halloween

Fall into Family Farm Fun

Whether you want to pick pumpkins, take a haunted hayride, get lost in a corn maze, bob for apples or do it all– now’s the perfect time to enjoy some Fall fun in Maryland. Pack up the car and head out to soak up the cool weather and changing colors with a day down on the farm. Make it an “apple-solutely” cozy escape with a stay at one of Maryland’s snug inns or historic hotels.

It’s Fall Ya’ll!

Toast Fall Flavors on The Tastemakers Trail

Take A Sweater Weather Wander
