Washington DC: Off The Beaten Path Destination Guide
by Janice | Travel & Photography
Why we featured this post
Planning DC with kids and trying to avoid the same old museum slog? Janice lays out a practical 3 day itinerary paced for lots of walking, plus the logistics families actually need, like which airport to fly into (she chose DCA) and how to use the Metro. You also get specific picks beyond the usual, from looping the 2.1 mile Tidal Basin for cherry blossoms to reserving free timed tickets for the African American History and Culture Museum and the Library of Congress.
Things to do
- Walk the 2.1 mile Tidal Basin cherry blossom loop
- Reserve free timed entry for African American History museum
- Book Library of Congress tickets, then visit Reading Room overlook
- Take the Metro to Arlington Cemetery, watch Changing of the Guard
