September 3, 2026 — A familiar piece of Baltimore childhood is approaching its final weekend. Port Discovery says Adventure Expeditions will close after Labor Day, with September 7 as the exhibit’s last day. Families hoping for one more visit have a short window to work it into their holiday plans.

The museum’s closing announcement identifies Adventure Expeditions as one of the original exhibits from its 1998 opening. Developed with Disney Imagineers, it invited children to become explorers through an immersive setting and hands-on play. Its approaching departure gives longtime visitors a chance to revisit a space they may remember from field trips, birthdays, or earlier family outings.

The closure applies to Adventure Expeditions. Port Discovery says it will share more about the space’s future later, so the next attraction has not been named in this announcement. For this weekend, the practical focus is straightforward: decide whether the exhibit is a priority, then confirm the visit details directly with the museum.

Port Discovery’s visitor page says tickets are required and strongly recommends advance reservations because walk-in availability is limited. General nonmember admission is listed at $25.95 per person, with children under 1 admitted free. Its PlayMakers option lists $5 admission for up to five tickets with a Maryland EBT/Independence Card or WIC ID. Review the current eligibility requirements when booking.

The museum is at 35 Market Place. Its transportation guide places the Shot Tower/Market Place Metro Subway station within a short walk and identifies Harbor Park Garage at 55 Market Place as the adjacent parking option. Check the garage’s current terms before selecting a parking offer, and consult the museum’s calendar for the hours on the day you intend to visit.

For parents who remember exploring the exhibit themselves, a return visit can become a conversation about what their children notice first. Leave room for that discovery instead of treating the outing as a checklist.
