One or two day getaway from DC that's fun for kids between 5-9 years old?

[Anonymous]

We can't afford to go away for the entire weekend, but we were thinking we might do a quick 1-2 night away day trip somewhere to Hershey Park or Dutch Wonderland.

Duh! All the amusement parks are closed until April or May.

Does anyone have advice on other day trips that might be fun for kids in the 5-9 age range?

We have done Baltimore and Philadelphia often, so we're hoping for something new ideas.

TIA!

Thanks for these recommendations! We had a great time and loved The Science Factory especially!
