Exploring DC with Kids

V isiting Washington, D.C. with kids can be an intimidating prospect. When to go? Where to stay? What to see? The nation’s capital is replete with history and full of family-friendly activities, but it can be hard to know where to start when you begin planning your family’s D.C. vacation. Growing up in the D.C. suburbs, I was fortunate to experience all the city has to offer. Now in Oklahoma, and with a new baby at home, I love having the opportunity to take my son back to my hometown. I look forward to watching him grow and seeing the sights anew through his eyes. If Washington, D.C. is on your family’s bucket list, here are a few of my favorite attractions and recommendations for your itinerary. Happy travels! Editor’s note: While the COVID-19 pandemic means traditional vacations may not be viable for all families or destinations, dreaming of family fun is never off limits! If planning a trip to the nation’s capital in the near future, double check with all locations to determine availability, hours and current restrictions.
