There is no need to make a reservation for your group. The park is open daily (except Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day) and groups of all sizes are welcome to come to Fort McHenry on any day of the year. However, your group will likely have a better and more organized experience if the park knows to expect you. The best way to do this is to sign up on our park's booking page.
Upon Arrival: When groups arrive on site regardless if they are scheduled are unscheduled, the groups should wait outside the visitor center, only the group leader should enter the building. Only after the group leader has talked to the park ranger at the front desk and figured out a plan on how to split up groups entering the visitor center and pay their entrance fee should the group begin entering the building.
