Mom Approved Tips Before You Go
• Arrive a little early on Family Fun Day since it is popular and check in can take a few minutes
• Plan about 1 to 2 hours for a first visit, longer if you want to do tours plus activities
• Street Parking is available but can be a bit tricky, I highly suggest taking public transport, get off at Govt Center Staion for both the Metrorail and Metro mover.
• Check the museum calendar before you go since programs and themes change month to month
