By far, the most distinctive, enchanting, memorable building in downtown Baltimore. Felt that way since 40 years ago: Not merely a healthy respect to the past, it brilliantly maintains living artists creations. When possible, try to do most of the tour.
We went through Groupon and had a wonderful experience. Exceeded expectations. Request Ernie for your tour - he was passionate and extremely knowledgeable about the history of the tower and Baltimore in general (hes also hilarious). There’s beautiful art galleries along all 15 floors - definitely would recommend!
I cant say enough about how wonderful the tour was at the Tower- slide show for background/history and a very passionate docent who had many stories and was very knowledgeable about the building, cobalt blue bottles, and medicines back in the day. The clocks on each side of the top floor were something to see. So much more than what I expected to see. Highly recommended on a trip to Baltimore.
I had a really great time on my visit to the Bromo Seltzer Tower. I went on the tour and was very impressed with the history and especially of seeing the inside of the tower! The experience is really cool as the levels have been converted into a gallery/studio space environment, but when I went there were very few rooms open, which was a shame. I would have loved to see more. It is a great visit that I would recommend to anyone!
Quirky fun place with great views and interesting history. Loved seeing the inside of the clock tower.
Absolutely an amazing place to visit. Did not realize the amount of history. Definitely take the tour to the top!
Even my 8 & 11 year old stayed interested during the presentation before we headed up to the clock tour due to our guide Ernie’s enthusiasm! Interesting history of both Bromo Seltzer, the founder and the tower and seeing the inside of the tower was neat. There is an elevator to the 11th floor and the “ship stairs” were not to steep for anyone in our party ranging from age 8 to 70s
Great tour, such a cool building! The stairs to get to the clock tower arent that bad. We did it with our son in the backpack. I loved it!
Very cool display of some talented artists! It was very cool to meet some of them as well. Incredible works and some very friendly people.
A beautiful part of Baltimore and American history, I am glad I got to take the tour! The clock tower is a sight to behold, any history lover should go just to stand in awe of this 100+ year old structure!
Iconic building in downtown Baltimore. Worth taking a look on the way to/from Camden Yards. An irreplaceable part of the city skyline!
A beautiful tower. You can reach the top for free in Saturday morning
Highly recommend stopping by here if youre into history, art, or architecture. The first 15 floors are rented out art studios / galleries. About half of them were open for display when we walked through and free to view.The more interesting part was an $8 tour of the clock tower, which is the next levels up. The tour started off with the guide providing a half hour history lesson of the origins of Bromoseltzer and its founder. Very interesting story in my opinion! Then we headed to the actual tower to learn about how it actually works. The 15th floor also had a glass bottle collection and various Bromoseltzer products.
VERY NICE PLACE. Interesting museum located near other local museums. I found so much history and art gallery. Excellent architecture too
Add a great tour up into the clock. It was amazing seeing the inside and how it worked.
Interesting tour and museum with plenty of local history. Talented artists in several floors of galleries. Awesome views of the city through the old windows. Excellent use of this building.
Good amount of info and nice tour guide
A gem of an attraction in a city scattered with blight. Visited with my parents yesterday and everyone had an excellent time. Ernie, our tour guide was as unique and interesting as the tower itself. Would highly recommend this attraction as one of the best in Baltimore. Ernie, cant wait to see your bottle collection at the Union Collective coming soon!
Awesome place! The tour is very informative! Walking into The Clocktower is like walking into the past! Its amazing!
Good for locals, small elevator. Local history
I it because its Historical Building Landmark famous for the Bromo Seltzer Clock.
While the whole experience can be described as a bit eccentric, this was a really fun place to visit. The tour covers a lot of interesting history, and if you have even a passing interest in mechanical engineering this is a must-see. From the surprisingly compact but beatifully maintained clockwork running the four huge clock faces to the antique 1911 Otis elevator that still carries passengers, this is a great little gem of an attraction.
We didnt take the clock tour, but you can walk up and down (or take the elevator) all the floors and visit artists studios. Not only is there some very cool artwork, but you get views of Baltimore and get to see some interesting architecture within the tower. If you are visiting Baltimore, you need to add this to your list of places to visit.
Great stop to learn some Baltimore history. Excellent staff.
Very cool tour, definitely worth the $8.
Sat tour is worthwhile. Lots of history, but not much about the artists. Best part of visiting is wandering the galleries and peeking into the studios, which you can do on your own for free.
Very neat historical building.
Awesome clock tower. Learnt a lot on the tour. However the exhibitions deserve more attention both from the public as well as the organizers
A beautiful piece of old Baltimore, glad it was preserved for future generations to see...
Love the architecture and learning history of building and Bromo Seltzer. Worth a visit if downtown Baltimore
Perfect for the kids with the art gallery display
Theres a painter here whos so expressive with his colors one floor from the top a must see and the view is amazing
A historic landmark turned art center with artist studios and gallery spaces. Good place to see local art just remember the gallery is only open on Saturdays.
Wonderful tour, interesting history, spectacular blue glass bottle collection.
Cool locale
Great little excursion in Baltimore. Fairly quick tour and nice little artist galleries.
The tour guide Ernie is very passionate for his job and gives you a great experience I really recommend going there-also look at the bromo video by Carl on YouTube
Quirky.
Nice tour and history discussion
Great art studios and great clock room tour, only open Saturdays
Really cool tour!
Interesting tour and story. Worth an hour of your time.
Good place to go with family

Its the best Tower in Town.

Worth a visit.
Truly Baltimore eclectic.
Lots of floors for artist studios. The clients are also selling their artwork in the halls and staircase.
