Baltimore’s April Showers: Thrilling Indoor Escapes and Cultural Adventures Await
Embrace Baltimore’s April showers with thrilling indoor adventures and cultural escapes. From solving mysteries in Towson to defying gravity at iFLY, discover the city’s vibrant offerings this weekend.
Embrace the Mystery: A Detective Adventure in Towson
Baltimore’s April showers might have you reaching for an umbrella, but they also set the perfect stage for a thrilling indoor adventure. On the morning of April 5th or 6th, step into the shoes of a detective in Towson, just a short drive from Baltimore. Solve a Murder Mystery offers a unique opportunity to unravel a murder case, guided by an immersive audio narrative. As you explore ten designated locations, either on foot or by car, you’ll gather clues and piece together evidence to solve the mystery.
This 2.5-hour experience is perfect for solo adventurers or groups of mystery enthusiasts. With flexible booking times, you can start your investigation at your convenience. The game features 16 distinct characters, each brought to life by professional voice actors, adding depth and intrigue to your detective journey. Whether you choose to compete or collaborate, your detective skills will be put to the test, culminating in a Case Performance Score that reflects your investigative prowess.
“Fun afternoon activity. The stops on the road map could have been more sequential with less backtracking. I liked that you could get enough information at each stop without going to everyone. The ending summary of each character and wrap-up was very good. I think that the clues were probably not sufficient enough to determine the killer. If I did this again, I would use a pencil and paper and make notes so I could remember clues and would probably have done a better job picking the answer. But for the price, it was a fun experience and I would do it again.” - Reviewed on 2025-02-02
Soar to New Heights: Indoor Skydiving in Baltimore
As the rain clouds linger over Baltimore, why not defy gravity and experience the thrill of skydiving without ever leaving the ground? On April 5th and 6th, head to Indoor Skydiving at iFLY Baltimore, where you can feel the rush of free-falling in a state-of-the-art vertical wind tunnel. This exhilarating experience is available throughout the day, with sessions starting as early as 10:00 AM and running until 6:15 PM.
No prior experience is necessary, making it an ideal adventure for both first-timers and seasoned thrill-seekers. After a brief training session, you’ll be guided by a certified flight instructor as you take flight in the wind tunnel. Each participant enjoys two flights, and at the end, you’ll receive a personalized flight certificate to commemorate your adventure.
