Q: I’m planning to visit Baltimore, Md., this summer and ‘d like to spend a few days at the Inner Harbor, as I’ve heard great things about it. I use a manual wheelchair, but I can walk a few steps. Can you recommend some accessible attractions and activities for me?

A:You’ll love the Inner Harbor, and there’s certainly no shortage of accessible attractions that you’ll be able to enjoy there. A nicely designed brick promenade follows the waters’ edge and allows wheelers good access to the popular sites.

The National Aquarium (410-659-4201, www.aqua.org) dominates the Inner Harbor skyline and offers barrier-free access at the members’ entrance. Although advance tickets are recommended for the general public, visitors who have a disability are granted immediate admission at this entrance. In addition, the aquarium opens 1/2 hour early on the first Saturday and Sunday of the month for visitors with special needs, to allow these visitors a more leisurely crowd-free experience. A free access guide is available at the entrance.

Another must-see Inner Harbor attraction is the USS Constellation (410-539-1797, www.constellation.org), the last of the Navy’s all-sail warships. Constructed in 1854, the vessel offers elevator access to the main deck and stair lift access down to the gun deck. The ship is fascinating, and there’s plenty of room to wheel around on the top deck.

Save some time for a lunch or dinner cruise aboard the Bay Lady or Lady Baltimore. Operated by Harbor Cruises (410-727-3113, www.harborcruises.com), both ships are docked in the Inner Harbor and feature ramp access.

The Bay Lady is also equipped with an accessible restroom. In addition, the same company operates 75-minute Inner Harbor cruises aboard the ramp-equipped Prince Charming.
