If you live in DC area or plan to visit, single or with children, Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum is a must see. It is conveniently located on route 28, depending on traffic, 30 min. drive from the capitol. Museum is pretty spacious, fun and informative without getting too boring. It is interestingly designed, architecture wise is very eclectic, 60,000 + objects are on display. There are big to small sizes of planes, making it hard to believe until you see it with your own eyes.
When we drove to museum this weekend, we hardly found a parking space, but once we were in, never felt overcrowded. There are 3D simulators, workshops, exhibitions, imax theatre. So there is something for everyone. Even my 4 yrs old never got bored, which is hard for this age group! He enjoyed walking and running around the planes with an amazement:)
There is also a McDonald's for a quick bite, and besides no entrance fee!
