Wherever You Want!
In addition to all of the monuments and memorials, Washington DC also offers some great food!

There are 17 Smithsonian museums in Washington, DC. However, they are not all equally well-visited—leaving many underrated Smithsonian museums to explore on your trip.
As you may suspect, the most popular Washington DC attractions include the National Air and Space Museum, National Museum of Natural History, and the African American History Museum.
Kid-friendly Washington DC
With so much to see and do for kids and families in DC, it's difficult to know where to begin! Besides the obvious and famous attractions like the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial, one of the city's top family attractions is the National Zoo. It never gets old and is an easy walk from the Metro (take the Red Line to the Woodley Park-Zoo/Adams Morgan stop). The National Zoo features up-close visits with gorillas, pandas, and dozens of other species of wildlife.
Of course, no visit to Washington DC would be complete without a trip to the Smithsonian, including a visit to the National Museum of Natural History for eye-popping displays of dinosaurs and mastodons, as well as the butterfly pavilion and - in the Harry Winston Gallery - the world-famous Hope Diamond!
Next stop, the National Air & Space Museum for famous airplanes and rockets, a replica of the Hubble Telescope, fun simulator rides, the planetarium, and an awesome IMAX movie theater!
