The Best of NileGuide
- Often it's a chore dragging the children around museums and monuments - but not here in Washington, DC, where they'll drag you around to the many captivating kid-friendly things to do. The National Mall, with its monuments and the Smithsonian Institution's galleries, can keep families occupied for days. DC's abundance of parks and hiking trails also provide folks with opportunities to enjoy the outdoors - from Rock Creek Park to the Billy Goat Trail. Rest your feet and discover the city at your leisure with a one-day ticket on the Hop-on Hop-off Trolley Tour. The National Geographic Museum at Explorers Hall features regularly changing special exhibits, speakers and films exploring the many wonders of our planet in a soaring building downtown. There's really so much to do here, so let the younger generation take over for a couple days and follow them as you all enjoy the many kid-friendly activities in Washington, DC. It's more fun than voting (a lot more fun).
