I don't think you'll find much in the way of shopping or things to do right in Odenton, as it's pretty much rural/residential with a military base, but it's not far from Baltimore and Annapolis; a little farther from DC.
One very interesting place that's quite close to Odenton is Savage Mill on Rte 1. www.savagemill.com
It's an historic old mill site that has been converted to all kinds of small shops - arts and crafts, boutiques, restaurants and an entire floor of antique vendors. You might even find a yarn shop there. Don't miss it!
Arundel Mills is a huge outlet/discount mall just north of Odenton.

Columbia Mall is not far. It's a typical big and very nice mall with a variety of average to upscale stores and restaurants.
Baltimore Inner Harbor (about 20 miles?) has a lot of shops and restaurants, a big aquarium and other sights. Just bring money!
Downtown Annapolis, probably 20 miles in another direction, is also interesting with lots of little shops, the Naval Academy (tours) and restaurants. Again, bring money!
There's a lot to see and do in the general area but you do need a car to get around. If I think of anything else I'll post again. Hope this helps! |
