Lesser Known Washington DC & Northern Virginia Children’s Museums

National Building Museum-

A fantastic museum for children! The building itself is beautiful. There is a wide open Great Hall, where kids can run free. Kids can attempt to build a 7-foot tall arch using numbered foam blocks (MUCH harder than it looks). A favorite of the toddler crowd is the Building Zone, designed for children aged 2 to 6. There are many types of building materials, such as giant legos, magnetic tinker toys, and cardboard blocks. There are also dress-up costumes, a large scale play house, building focused books, and much more. There can be a line to get into the Building Zone, as there is a capacity of 40 children. There are also Family Tool Kits that help to bring the building to life for school-aged kids.
