We’re so excited to have you join us in the nation’s capital! Whether you’re visiting for the first time or coming back for another adventure, DC has something for everyone—history buffs, food lovers, and families alike. Here are some of our favorite suggestions to enjoy during your stay:

Smithsonian National Zoo

Free and fun for all ages! Don’t miss the giant pandas, elephants, and so much more.

National Air and Space Museum

A must-see for kids (and grown-ups, too), with planes, rockets, and interactive exhibits. Make sure to may a reservation before going!

United States Botanic Garden

Stroll through beautiful indoor and outdoor gardens—perfect for a peaceful afternoon.

The National Mall

Walk the iconic stretch from the Lincoln Memorial to the U.S. Capitol. Stop by the Washington Monument, World War II Memorial, and Vietnam Veterans Memorial along the way.

Smithsonian Museums

The best part? They’re free! Highlights include the National Museum of American History (hello, Star-Spangled Banner!) and the National Museum of Natural History (a family favorite with dinosaurs and gemstones).

Library of Congress

Step into one of the most stunning buildings in DC. The architecture alone is worth it!

Eastern Market

Grab a snack, explore local vendors, and enjoy the lively atmosphere in this historic market.

Georgetown Waterfront Park

Perfect for a relaxing walk or a family picnic with views of the Potomac River.

National Portrait Gallery

A quieter gem with portraits of presidents and modern figures. Bonus: the atrium is perfect for kids to run around!

The Tidal Basin

A beautiful walk surrounded by cherry trees. Even outside peak cherry blossom season, it’s stunning year-round.
