City Schools Hosts Free Family Learning Night at the Maryland Science Center September 28th

Children explore the Bed of Nails exhibit at the Maryland Science Center.

Baltimore City Public Schools families have a free evening of hands-on learning on the calendar for Monday, September 28th. The district’s Back-to-School Family Learning Night runs from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Maryland Science Center, 601 Light Street, at the Inner Harbor.

City Schools says the program will focus on math, STEM and literacy. Families can explore interactive exhibits, learn strategies to support children during the school year and connect with other City Schools families. The district’s announcement invites the whole family and states that admission is free.

The school system has provided a registration form through its event announcement. The form asks for a parent or caregiver’s contact information, the school children attend and their grade levels. It also includes a question about interpretation services. Families who need language support should review that section while registering and contact the district with any questions about accommodations.

This is a special evening program. The Science Center’s regular Monday public hours are listed as closed, but City Schools’ current calendar separately confirms the September 28th event and its 5–7 p.m. window. Families should use the district’s event information when planning this visit rather than assuming the museum is open throughout the day.

The Science Center describes its regular experience as three floors of interactive exhibits and programs built around hands-on exploration. Tonight’s announcement identifies the learning themes, but does not promise access to every regular attraction or an IMAX screening. It is best to check the event details before building a visit around a particular activity.

Before heading downtown, confirm the registration details and plan the trip home as well as the arrival. The center links parking information from its website; the free event announcement does not establish free parking. For families fitting the visit around school pickup and dinner, the two-hour window is the key detail to keep in mind.
