Port Discovery Children's Museum is a non-profit institution located in the historic Wholesale Fish Market building in Baltimore's Inner Harbor. It has 80,000 square feet (7,400 m2) and three floors of exhibits and programs designed to be interactive and educational. It receives more than 265,000 visitors annually. The museum's focus is on children ages birth through 10 and their caregivers.
Prior to being redeveloped into a museum, the building's early revitalization effort was the development of a shopping mall and entertainment complex known as The Fishmarket, which opened in November 1988 and closed in July 1989 due to financial and operational problems. The Rouse Co. and Walt Disney Imagineering collaborated to support construction and redevelopment after the Cloisters Children's Museum merged with the Maryland Children's Museum in 1990, forming Port Discovery.
The museum is served by the Baltimore Metro Subway's Shot Tower/Market Place station.
