how is the National Air and Space Museum?

Which one. we have two open to the public and one semi-private (by appointment only.

The old Air and Space Museum is in the national mall, but the newer one and larger one is by Dulles Airport just off of Route 28. It is about 30 miles west of DC. Check the websites to see what has been moved to the newer one.

Admission to the Dulles one is free but parking costs $12.00. It has an awesome military book store. There are plenty of exhibits that are interactive for you and the kids as well as an observation tower that overlooks Dulles Airport.

Unfortunately, I think the Pentagon tours are still on hold but check their website.
