    It doesn't 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.

    Such an amazing little place to visit. I came here on my own in the early afternoon & enjoyed the view both from inside and outside the lighthouse. A perfect detour for adults or families alike.

    $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.

    A very unique and beautiful historical building. I wish it was open to the public, though.

    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.

    Easy to get to. Wasn’t open. You can walk around underneath it. Great view of the water. You can see it from the concert venue next-door. Really unique and different than most houses.

    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.

    I was a little disappointed by it's size, BUT there's a nice view of the water and easy access to a pier and cute park. You also have view of this lighthouse on both sides of the water if you want multiple angles for photos or to avoid people (like the parking lot).

    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.

    The Knoll Lighthouse is a marvelous landmark in the Inner Harbor area. It’s a must-see attraction for tourists and residents. There are restaurants close by in Harbor East and along The “Charm’tastic Mile”. If you are visiting Charm City the Four Seasons, Marriott Waterfront, Pier 5 and Hilton Garden Inn are within minutes of the landmark.
