Top of the World Observation Level to Close

The Top of the World Observation Level at the Baltimore World Trade Center will close to the public in May, as announced by the Baltimore Office of Promotion & The Arts (BOPA). This iconic attraction, located on the 27th floor, offers a 360-degree view of Baltimore and features the 9/11 Memorial of Maryland, showcasing artifacts honoring those who died in the September 11 attacks. Since 2005, the space has hosted various events including exhibitions, workshops, and school visits. Although no specific reason for the closure was provided, BOPA plans to offer special discounts and pop-up events in the coming months before the observation deck ceases operations. The closure will limit public access to one of the city's most popular viewpoints, which can see up to 30 miles on clear days. BOPA's contract with the city was terminated in November 2024, ending its role as the designated arts council and events producer for Baltimore.
