[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Second postal museum, also: Zoo, Glen Echo (if group is 20 or under, you can take metro to bus without too much trouble), Kennedy Center (a lot of walking and you need some awareness so better with slightly older kids -- would not take kindergarteners). I've also heard that some of the tours at the Arboretum are wonderful. Public transportation there is hard but I have also heard that they will provide transportation sometimes.

Also, if I could share in your crowd sourcing: what have people's experiences been with field trips to art museums in the area with younger kids (K or 1st grade)? I'd like to organize something for my kid's class this year but when I mentioned it to the teacher she said they'd struggled in the past to make that work. Anyone done this? There are so many great museums it seems like many of them must have good programming for kids.[/quote]
