The museum is $15.00 unless you have a NPS Park Pass. It is a short walk to the fort once you leave the museum. Parking was fine when I was there. I did see an overflow area in case it was full though. The bathrooms are right before you enter the museum to the left. The gift shop is a nice stop for any souvenirs. There is a theater which plays a live action movie of what went on during the battle. It was about ½ hour, but it was very informative. Seating was limited as I got there just after it started and had to stand. At the end, they sing the Star Spangled Banner and the movie screen goes up. You get a panoramic view and the American flag at the fort. Awe inspiring to say the least. After the song, the screen comes back down and the lights come back on. There are several exhibits to check out before heading to the fort. On the right backside of the building is a statue of Francis Scott Key. Once outside, it is a short walk up to the fort.

I recently visited Fort McHenry, but unfortunately, we arrived just 30 minutes before closing and couldn’t purchase tickets. However, the staff kindly allowed us to explore the area around the lawn and the river. From there, you can enjoy a beautiful view and even see some large ships passing by. The entry ticket is normally $15, and both the fort and the visitor center are very well maintained and clean. Clean restrooms are available to the left of the visitor center entrance, and there’s plenty of parking available. It’s a great place to spend a few hours with family and learn more about history. Just keep in mind that the park closes promptly at 5 PM, and all visitors, including vehicles, must exit before the gate closes.

Great presentation and helpful information to learn about war of 1812. They have a lot of artifacts and timeline oraganized in a way that it was easy to follow what happened. There are short movies to explain the war more in details. It was good to know how this place hasel evolved before, during and after the war. It was interesting to see how it became a hospital after the war I would recommend checking the website first to see if you can go during their free admission day
