Washington, DC Family Vacation Spots
Washington DC offers many attractions that are sure to entertain and excite kids of all ages. Plenty of large open spaces and places to eat and relax around the city provide the perfect way to build an ideal family vacation. The way the city is laid out, parents might be tempted to travel from one site to the next, all the time forgetting that the kids might not be having as much fun. The Mall can help you avoid that. Bring along a Frisbee or a football to break up the day so that everyone in the family will have an enjoyable time.
Some DC sites offer some of the most kid-friendly and educational attractions around. Most notable are sites like the National Air and Space Museum, where children will likely be captivated by the life-size exhibits detailing the history of flight and humanity's journey into outer space. Few, if any, kids have ever left this building disappointed.

Similarly, the FBI Headquarters offers an exciting tour that is likely to impress most kids. The Bureau of Printing and Engraving is another kid-friendly destination, as are the White House and the Washington Monument.
In general, as the main museums are grouped closely together, it would probably be best to go “museum hopping” with your kids, spending an hour or so in each. After breaking for lunch, you could always go back into the more interesting museums for a more detailed exploration of the different exhibits. Especially as most sites around DC do not charge admission fees, the city can be a great option for a family vacation that can be both fun and highly educational.
