Would you feel comfortable going to a museum or play area masked?

If the building was at very low capacity? We went to the Air and Space Museum before it closed, aquarium and the MD science center and it felt pretty safe. Everyone was masked. I had hand wipes and hand sanitizer handy. Capacity was limited.

The weather is getting colder. We spent large parts of our day outside but now we can’t as much as we did before.

Would you go to an indoor play area or museum?

I am thinking nature center, go karts, busy bees or any museum or art gallery that is open. I have a big range of ages.

Not indoors. I don't believe it's ever really too cold to play outside. Just too dark.

I wouldn’t go. The people who self select to go to museums are the likeliest to be doing more risky things.

No.

Not now, no.

No. Most museums are hands on these days, and my kids want to touch everything.

No. Even before covid I avoided indoor play areas snd the children’s museum during the winter due to the flu.

I would’ve gone to the Smithsonian or NGA but missed the window.

Nothing indoors.

No. We have rarely been indoors anywhere (except our house) for more than 10 minutes at a time since March (we get grocery curbside pickup, etc). With cases so high now, I'm actually personally challenging myself not to go inside anywhere for the month of December, if I can help it.

Low capacity, good ventilation and masks help a lot! But you're still exposed to some folks' breath hanging in the air for a bit... and to me, the bigger issue with the places you mentioned is that both kids and tourists are less likely to wear their masks perfectly (taking off, not covering noses, etc.)

Yes, I would go to a museum or aquarium. I would not go to a play area and touch things.

I’ve taken my kids to the trampoline park and everyone there was masked even while playing. Just a few preschoolers weren’t and they were pretty young so I wouldn’t necessarily expect it anyway.

We went to the Udvar-Hazy during the summer. It’s a huge space, there’s no touching, and they limited visitors enough that it was extremely easy to distance. But I wouldn’t do more cramped museums or an indoor play space. So we’re wrapping up in layers this winter and going outside.

Not in a million years

Not under the current circumstances, no. We went to Air & Space out by Dulles over the summer when numbers were much lower...and that is a huge open space that wasn't crowded.
