AN ACTION-PACKED TOUR OF BALTIMORE One can also book tickets for a baseball game and watch the Baltimore Orioles in action. One can also go to see the Baltimore Ravens play their American Football. The Baltimore Bayrunners play in the International Basketball league. One can also try out the outdoor ice rink to brush up on the ice skating technique. Horse racing at Pimlico is also very exciting. One can also hire out pedal and paddleboats around the harbour, or maybe just take a cruise around on the ferry. For children there is the Baltimore Zoo that is in Druid Hill Park and has a great children's area where they can walk on lily pads on the water and climb inside trees. There is also the National Science Centre, the National Aquarium and the popular Port Discovery Children's Museum that is the kids favourite play area. There are several ethnic festivals taking place throughout the year. Baltimore attracted nearly as much immigrants to its city as New York. The Toleration Act was passed in 1649, which allowed the practice of all religions in Maryland. This attracted Polish, German, Irish, Greek and Italians to the city. Take a stroll down to Little Italy's bocce ball courts, admire Greek Towns cultural district and visit the St. Leo R.C. Church. The first Roman Catholic cathedral in America was the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption. Also worth visiting is the Jewish Museum of Maryland, which is the home of the 1845 Lloyd Street Synagogue.
