In Maryland, you can never say there's nothing to do.
From hunting giant fossilized shark teeth in the Chesapeake Bay
to touring one of your favorite Maryland breweries.
There's always something to get into here in Maryland.
That's why today, I'm going to talk to you guys about
the Top 10 Free Things To Do here in Maryland.
Hi, my name is Malcolm Lawson.
I'm a Maryland real estate agent and I'm passionate about highlighting
the coolest features and facts about my home state of Maryland.
Let's get to it.
# 10, Calvert Cliffs National Park.
Put on your archaeologist hat and grab a shovel
because Calvert Cliffs is the perfect destination
for any would-be fossil hunter.
Over 6,000 species of fossils have been discovered
at the eroding cliff edges here including the giant Megalodon shark.
The most common find here are fossilized shark teeth
with some being the size of the palm of a man's hand.
# 9, the Salisbury Zoo.
Everything from bears to swans to alligators,
this 12-acre zoo has them all.
The zoo says that their mission is to encourage the appreciation of wildlife
and inspire conservation of our natural world.
With guided tours and interactive programs for kids,
this is the perfect place to take your family over the weekend.
# 8, the Washington County Museum of Fine Arts.
Are you feeling a little bit more sophisticated?
Then check out the over 7,000 pieces of sculptors, paintings and pieces of art
that this almost 100-year-old museum has.
If you're feeling created yourself,
then sign up for one of their many art programs for both children and adults.
# 7, the Flying Dog brewery.
Get a behind-the-scenes guided tour
and see what the brewing process really looks like.
While you're there, don't forget to sample a few of their new and unreleased recipes.
# 6, Assateague Island.
Just a stone's throw away from the hustle and bustle of Ocean City
are the serene shores of Assateague Island.
One of the few places where you can enjoy the surf and sand dunes
along the side with wild ponies.
From camping to kayaking to biking,
there's no shortage of things to do in this unique national park.

Alright. Let's get back to it.
# 5, Mallows Bay.
Grab a kayak and a GoPro and go explore the ghost fleet of Mallows Bay.
This hauntingly beautiful scene is one of the unique sights
you only find here in Maryland.
One of largest ship graveyards in all of America.
You'll find ruins of ships dating back to World War I
and some even order than that.
# 4, the Chesapeake-Ohio Canal National Park.
This historic byway was once used to transport coal, lumber and crops
and today, it makes a perfect destination for hiking, biking and boat rides.
Don't forget to check out the Lock House
and other historical structures along the route.
# 3, Ego Alley.
Put on your walking shoes and take a stroll down historic streets
in downtown Annapolis.
With brick-paved roads and historic homes, these streets are oozing with character.
Don't forget to visit the city dock along Ego Alley.
So named because of the expensive yachts often parked here.
During the holidays, these yachts are usually decked out
with holiday decorations and are a real sight to see.
# 2, the Annmarie Sculpture Garden Art Center.
A whimsical 6-ton ceramic gate marks the entrance
to the top of this [unin] world landscape.
Take a walk through the 30-acre sculpture garden
with 3D pieces of art made from various materials.
Don't forget to check out their calendar to stay up to date
on rotating exhibits, festivals and programs.
Hey, before we get to #1,
if you know of anything else to do in Maryland
that's pretty cool and free and I left it off my list,
do me a favor and leave it down in the comments section below.
I'm really interested to see what you guys can come up with.
And #1, the William Brish Planetarium.
Get ready to have your mind blown with the super immersive planetarium.
Lay back and explore the stars with their digital dome projection system.
From black holes to Sesame Street, they have programs for all ages.
And, don't forget to take a peek inside their Apollo capsule while you're there.
