National Air and Space Museum with Kids

3 Tips for the National Air and Space Museum with Kids

1. I lucked out and arrived at 9:28 AM on a weekday and found a parking spot on 7th and Independence which opened at 9:30 AM. (I’ll put the signage in stories)
2. The Kids Gallery is closed until 2024 but the Wright Brothers, Planets and Mission to Mars kept the kids excited the whole visit. Lots more interactives in the Wright Birthers than I remembered from last year.
3. Use the family restrooms if you have kids younger than 5 as the sinks are not built for little kids in the regular bathrooms.

Favorite Part of the National Air and Space Museum with Kids

Our favorite part was Harvey, at the volunteer cart where we learned so much about meteorite and even got to touch one that is older than earth…4.5 billion years! Ask the info desk where the volunteer cart will be for the day.
