The kids just love these! Tour the city and see the
Washington Monument, Mount Vernon and more. Then drive into
the harbor and float past the USS Constellation. The Captain
tells lots of fun and informative stories. A favorite for the
younger kids is the duck whistles that are given to each person.
FAMILY FRIENDLY PROS- Kids
were amazed at the "car" becoming a boat as we drove into the water.
The duck whistles were very popular and kept them happy for a long
time.
FAMILY FRIENDLY CONS- Make sure little ones use the restroom
before leaving on the tour.

Great fun for little ones. Playwise Kids is a large
building with different areas set aside for activities. Some
areas include arts & crafts, dress-up areas, toddler play area,
child size grocery store and soft block room.
FAMILY FRIENDLY PROS- Lots
of fun things for younger children. The whole place is just
for them!
FAMILY FRIENDLY CONS- Older children seem to be bored quickly.
Also, it seems that it could have been kept neater. The areas
were messy and did not seem to be straightened throughout the day.
This probably varies day to day depending on staff and the amount of
visitors.

Friendly Travel Tip:
Older children can use time in the car or airplane to
learn a new craft. There are some great books
about learning to knit, crochet and cross-stitch.
Your child will be occupied and have a sense of
accomplishment when they have completed a project by the
end of the journey. |
