BWI Trail and Observation Area

If you are looking for a day out and your child loves airplanes then they will love this observation area! They have a small playground area right near the path of planes coming in for a landing! The planes seem to go by every few minutes and they are so close. The children just stop for a moment and watch as the planes approach and get closer to them. Then they are off to playing again! A great spot to go for a couple of hours. Pack your lunch or snack and bring chairs or a blanket! Click here to read more and see photos.
