A few weeks ago we did some DC sightseeing and visited the DC Zoo, as well as the Natural History Museum. Both were a little more crowded than we expected due to school field trips, but we had fun and got to see many animals and exhibits. (Just to clarify - we did not visit both on the same day - that would have been brutal!).
Growing up close to DC, we visited the museums downtown often. It was a lot of fun to be able to go there with my kiddos! The Hubby was especially excited to see the "big cats" aka. the lions and tigers. They did not disappoint! I had also forgotten how cool their monkey house is - with wires crisscrossing the zoo allowing the monkeys to climb overhead. That was my favorite part! As much as we love the Baltimore Zoo, it was fun visiting a the DC Zoo with different animals.
A few days later, we decided to tackle the Natural History Museum. I wasn't quite sure what Alexia would like the best, but after visiting each exhibit, she found her favorite in the gems room...a girl after my own heart. She loved seeing all the different rocks and gems, and the countless shapes and colors.
We drove down into DC both days and found parking pretty easily. Even though the DC Zoo is free, the parking is $22.00 so definitely carpool if possible, or the metro is another option. Summer Fun continues! - says the village idiot
