A trip to Washington DC wouldn’t be complete without visiting at least one of the many museums comprising the Smithsonian Institution. The largest museum complex in the world, the Smithsonian has 17 museums and a zoo - all free to the public. Some popular choices to visit with kids are the Museum of Natural History, the National Zoological Park, and the Air and Space Museum (a personal favorite of mine). Many of the museums are clustered around the National Mall – a one mile stretch of land that offers great views of the Capitol building at one end and the Washington Monument at the other. It’s also a great place to take a break from museum hopping and enjoy a game of Frisbee, grab a frozen treat from a vendor, or simply people watch.
