Of course, D.C. has a museum just for kids! The National Children's Museum in downtown Washington, D.C., is a children's museum and science center designed for kids up to age 12 and their families. It offers interactive exhibits that explore science, technology, engineering, art and math. Highlights include the Dream Machine, where children can climb into clouds; the Innovation Sandbox, which shoots bolts of lightning; and the Tinkerers Studio, a maker space for your youngest inventors.
