National Capital Radio & Television Museum

👍👍 This place was so cool. A hidden gem right in the middle of Bowie, Md. Way more than we expected.

😐 Nice fields. I did not see restrooms other than portables. Lots of lights for night games. Very quiet when I went. I can see how parking might be an issue. Modern playground for the kids.

World's Largest Bowie Knife
Tourist attraction

The parking area is small but decent enough for a stop that doesn’t take too long to enjoy. Lots of information and history to read about as well!
