[quote=Anonymous]The Gaylord Christmas thing is not great. It’s the equivalent of big box store Christmas. Also, it’s actually really cold in the Ice area, so my kids never wanted to stay long. The tree lighting is weird (it’s sort of a metal, modern tree) although the “snow” is kind of neat and that part of the evening is free. There’s also a little train that kids can ride on (perfect for three year old) that’s not very expensive. Overall, though, I don’t think it’s great.

The train exhibit at the botanic garden is really cool. If you can go not on a weekend, I’d do that because it is crowded.

There’s a White House Christmas tree with a train track around the bottom. The tree itself isn’t great, but the train is cute and each state submits their own smaller, decorated tree. There’s also a Santa nearby that kids can visit, although we’ve never done it.

Check out local theaters for kid friendly seasonal programming. We’ve done the glen echo puppet theater (nutcracker) and adventure theater often has seasonal shows.

Oh, the Christmas carol sing along at the Kennedy center is really fun. Seats in the boxes might be better for a three year old.

Also check out the kidfriendlydc website. She always does a holiday round up. [/quote]
