$1 cash to visit the lighthouse. We paid the woman that was inside the lighthouse at the counter and then walked around inside. Great views inside of the lighthouse looking outside at the harbor, federal hill park, etc. Stairs to go up to the lighthouse is very sturdy and I felt safe. They have information in the light house about its history, what they used in it, tools, bed, past lighthouse keepers, etc. I had e-mail correspondence with Dayna and she was very helpful with pricing and hours of operation for the lighthouse since the hours for it really depend on staffing each day.

Absolutely gorgeous. This is certainly an interesting piece of history. It’s equipped with a lot of information and artifacts. This lighthouse conveniently located in heart of Baltimore’s inner harbor and close to big attractions and neat stuff. Enjoy your visit.

It doesnt get a lot of foot traffic because of its obscure location but is definitely worth a visit. The view from here is quite nice that someone during our visit chose it to propose to his girlfriend (it appeared that she said yes). There is a small museum inside that tells the story of the lighthouse and how it was moved to its current location after it stopped operating. Admission is free. Come visit if you have at least half an hour to spare.

Interesting piece of history. Will take less than 10 minutes to see, lots of stairs to climb to the top tho! It is free with the historic ships ticket, or $1 if you don’t have the ticket. You can go all the way up to the top of the light house and the view is nice. There are lots of artifacts and information on the walls.

Quaint little historic lighthouse that was moved from the mouth of the river and made into a museum at this location. Nice museum displays inside. Free. Open Sundays. Stop for a short visit and photo opportunities.

This cost me $2 that I can never take back. It was so boring I almost fell asleep walking through it, but my girlfriend really wanted to go I had to. I don’t recommend

A fun little (free!) attraction on the waterfront. Learn more about life on the Chesapeake in a neat museum. Worth checking out if youve never been, and throwing them a couple of bucks in donation for the tidy preservation of a slice of history.

Associated with the Preservation Society and Historic Ships, the Seven Foot Knoll Lighthouse is a free (donations appreciated though!) attraction situated near the National Aquarium in Baltimores Inner Harbor.Ascend the staircase and youll enter the second floor of what one was a manned screw-pile lighthouse built at the mouth of the Patapsco River (literally, SCREWED right into the waters floor). Theres plenty of information about the history and significance of the structure itself, as well as Baltimores extensive use as a seaport. The staffer there at the time, Jamaal, was very friendly and happy to answer questions.If youre in the Inner Harbor and looking for a quick, 15-30-minute diversion, definitely stop by the Seven Foot Knoll Lighthouse!

About how many times will you get to step inside a lighthouse that was once in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay. A must see for anyone interested in lighthouses and history.
