Hands on at the Maryland Science Center
Monday – Make your way up to Baltimore to visit the Maryland Science Center, where your crew can explore a variety of exhibits, play in the Kids Room, see an IMAX movie, and much more. Hours are 10am – 5pm. Admission is $16.95/adults, $13.95/ages 3+, free for 2 and under. Read more about the children’s museum here.
Tuesday – Take the money tour at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. It’s a perfect outing for kids on break from school, since tours are only offered on weekdays. This post has all the background and details you need to plan for it.
Wednesday – See a FREE performance of Imagination Stage’s production of Inside Out at THEARC. The storyline follows two children who, instead of preparing for bedtime, use their imaginations to transform their room into fantastical world of play. Recommended for ages 1-5. Showtimes are 10:30am and 11:45am, and even though it’s free, tickets are required. This will also take place on Thursday and Friday.
Thursday – Head to the National Portrait Gallery where they’re hosting special Spring Break activities for kids from 1-4pm. Drop by the Education Center to do a collage project or check out a Portrait Discovery Kit to explore the museum. Read more about the program and NPG in this post. Admission is free. Museum hours are 11:30am – 7pm.
Friday – Hike along the Potomac, see nature indoors and out, have a picnic, and hang out and relax at Riverbend Park. The Fairfax County locale makes for an ideal outing with little ones — easy trails, great nature viewing, and never a big crowd. Free admission, and the Visitor Center is open 9am – 5pm on weekdays.
Just an FYI, all the performances at THEARC are sold out!
