Family vacation in Washington D.C. is not complete without a visit to at least one Smithsonian Institution. From spacecraft museums to zoos housing animals from all over the world, guests need not bother about budgets at all. Many of these sites offer free admission while allowing the family a great time together in the US capital.​
Everybody loves the zoo, and the National Zoo offers visitors a chance to learn and admire some of the world's most beautiful animals. The zoo houses animals from all over the world, including majestic elephants and royal lions. For lovers of the far east, the pandas offer a rare sight. Admission is free of charge, meaning you have no excuse to miss out on the 1,500 plus animals on site.
As an integral part of the Smithsonian Institutions, the expansive museum offers visitors free access to rare aircraft like the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. There are two hangars at the museum, the James S. McDonnell Space Hangar and the Boeing Aviation Hangar. There is also the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, which is a partner facility that displays thousands of artifacts. You can even watch space-related films at the Airbus IMAX Theater on site.
The world's tallest stone structure is arguably the most recognizable monument in Washington and the whole of the United States. Gazing up at the towering obelisk is enough to inspire guests. Modern elevators reconstructed in September 2019 make it safe to climb the 50-story monument with ease. And the sight from that high is literally breathtaking.
