When I took my daughter for the first time, she really enjoy herself. We plan to visit again. She didn't get the chance to go into the space shuttle. She was amazed with the planets and all the gadget that was there.

The National Air and Space Museum is one of the best museums in Washington. With all kinds of aircraft hanging from the ceiling, your kids will enjoy seeing the old planes and space aircraft. The I-Max theater is great. It feels as through you are moving through the movie/film. All in all this is a great place for adults and children.

Kids will be especially awed by all that is here.
Don't miss it.

Although my wife doesn't particularly like to set foot in the place, that's primarily because she knows once I'm in, I'm in for hours.
