[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the PP saying the cafeteria on the lower level between the two wings of the National Gallery of Art is a good bet. It will be less crowded than the cafeterias at Natural History or elsewhere, usually. And it has an extremely cool "waterfall" that looks like it's about to come right inside, but it's actually flowing down from the fountains overhead at street level. You want the museum cafeteria, not the cafe that's a sit-down full service restaurant (also on that same lower level).

But all the museum cafeterias can get very pricey, even for kids' food For kids that age, to keep things flexible, I'd just take a simple, snacky picnic and buy them an ice cream from a food truck afterward, and eat wherever you like on the Mall or outside any museum. In the middle of visiting museums, stopping to deal with a cafeteria can be a hassle, especially if it's busy. Big breakfast, snack stops, small lunch outdoors (unless it's a million degrees like DC gets in summer....).

Plan on two museums and be prepared to leave if they're pretty much done after just one museum. Better to see things at just one, and have everyone leave happy, than to feel it's necessary to get to a second museum because that was in the plan but everyone ends up over-tired. Depending on the kids, the heat that day, how much you walk around, one can be enough.
