Picnic at the B&O!

Bring your family, grab your friends, and join us at the Museum this 4th of July with your favorite food and beverages. Set up a picnic under our 15,000 square foot pavilion or keep it cool in our air-conditioned café area. Either way, the choice is yours – bring whatever you like to keep you fueled throughout the duration of your holiday visit here with us. 

Enjoy free red, white, and blue snow cones to celebrate the day!

Included with regular Museum Admission. B&O Members FREE.
