Maryland Science Center, 601 Light St · Inner Harbor

The Science Center drops numbered jack-o'-lanterns four stories from a rooftop launch tube onto the Harbor Patio, then composts the lot. Bring your own: rollable, under 14 inches, no glitter, paint or crayon, checked in by 11:50. Watching and taking part outside is free; the museum itself still takes a ticket.
