The National Mall is home to several iconic memorials including the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, and World War II Memorial. There are also 11 free Smithsonian museums to visit along the mall! We specifically recommend checking out the Natural History Museum, the American History Museum, and the Botanical Gardens.
The DC Zoo is free, and there are pandas!
Alex's favorite pie and pinball joint!
Just a short drive from Arlington, Old Town Alexandria is full of great restaurants, cute cafés, independent shops, and a beautiful waterfront trail. It’s very walkable and easy to navigate!
A wooded island for walking trails and nature close to the city; one of our favorite spots!
