The
world’s tallest pentagonal building, the World Trade Center
stands 423 feet above ground and the Top of The World
Observation Level – 23rd floor - offers a
panoramic view of the City and environs. Visitors can gaze
through a telescopic eye, check out historic exhibits of
Baltimore’s past, or shop for souvenirs. The Observation Level
does give a nice 360-degree view of the City (it looks exactly
as you would imagine a bird’s eye view of a city would look)
but that is about all it gives. The souvenirs are somewhat
cheesy and the exhibits are brief and generic.
If you’re traveling with
children or perhaps just doing a quick little tour of the
Harbor, a visit here might be nice, but don’t necessarily go
out of your way for one. The building is located at the water’s
edge in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, adjacent to the National
Aquarium, and is easily reached on foot or by water taxi if
touring the Harbor. Expect to spend no more than an hour here.
