Best Things to Do in Bowie

With over 50 attractions spread across a 500-acre plot, one of the best theme parks in the Washington, D.C., area is located on the south side of Bowie.

Belair Mansion formerly presided over a Georgian colonial estate of more than 2,200 acres, but has been owned by the City of Bowie since the 1960s.

The Belair Stable Museum traces the history of the property's thoroughbred horse-raising legacy, which is as old as the mansion itself.

You may visit this 10,000-seat stadium, which is the Bowie Baysox's home field, to catch some professional baseball action.

This vast area of hardwood forest and open fields is a family destination in and of itself, only a short distance from Six Flags America.

One of the city's greatest assets is its broad ethnic diversity, which is honoured each October with a one-day festival in Allen Pond Park.

There is a small, 150-seat theatre in Whitemarsh Park that hosts two theatrical companies and hosts performances all year round.

A family-run farm is located in the rural area to the east of Bowie. Until the fall, it keeps to itself but becomes a favourite destination for families.
