Located on the National Mall in Washington DC, the National Air and Space Museum was one of our kids’ favorites. It was the hands-on displays that interested them the most. This display quizzed the kids on types of aircraft.
This video-game synthesized the experience of landing a plane on an aircraft carrier. Craig could have joysticked all day long.
And this display allowed the kids to pretend they were gunning an enemy plane.
Great museum, and like everything on the mall, it was free.

That was one of my favorite museums when I visited DC. It still amazes me that it’s all free.
