Tomorrowland, a PG-rated sci-fi film starring George Clooney, opens at the National Air & Space Museum’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center this week, and you have a chance to win a 4-pack of tickets to see it!
From Disney comes two-time Oscar® winner Brad Bird’s riveting, mystery adventure Tomorrowland, starring Academy Award® winner George Clooney. Bound by a shared destiny, former boy-genius Frank (Clooney), jaded by disillusionment, and Casey (Britt Robertson), a bright, optimistic teen bursting with scientific curiosity, embark on a danger-filled mission to unearth the secrets of an enigmatic place somewhere in time and space known only as Tomorrowland. What they must do there changes the world—and them—forever.
You can experience the film in the Museum’s recently upgraded Airbus IMAX® Theater, featuring the new IMAX® laser projection and 12 channel sound system as well as the largest IMAX® screen in Northern Virginia.

My kids like Air and Space!
My kids actually love the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center. We were there recently for the anniversary of the Hubble telescope and met some astronauts. We always have a great time there.
My son loves the Air and Space museum. But, be still my heart, his second place museum is the Nat’l Gallery of Art.
My daughter loves the Natural History Museum. She loves animals.
We love the Air and Space museum.
Does the zoo count? 🙂 We really like the Natural History Museum. I think we’ll try the Postal Museum this summer.
My children love the Udvat Hazy Air & Space Museum for many reasons. They live seeing the space shuttle, experiencing the simulators, and have on many occasions had a chance to hear docents talk about the history behind these planes and aircrafts. Plus they like to hear about our family history – their great grandfather helped to test and pilot the Regulus middle there. For us grow ups, I love the fact it is close to home and I don’t have to maneuver as big and as many crowds as I do in the one in DC.
My daughter loves the National Museum of the American Indian. Last weekend we watched Hawaiian dancers (per your recommendation!) during the Hawaiian Cultural Festival and had a blast! Great Rec!
My kids love air and space! We’d love to see tomorrow land!
My son loves the Air & Space and the castle just because it looks like a castle.
Her favorite museum thus far is Air and Space. Thanks for all the awesome content and giveaways!!
My children have loved so many things in the Smithsonian museums that it is very difficult for me to pick a favorite one…so here are some highlights of our visits:
Natural History museum: the geology department and the rock collection, the bugs zoo with the bee hive, the mammal exhibit and the movie with the monkey
Air and Space museum: the planetarium, the flight simulators
African museum: the African masks exhibit
and in all of them the stores where they got everything from crystal growing kits to kites…..
We love the National Museum of the American Indian. They always have good programming. We went to the Bolivian Pachamama presentation. My daughters are half Bolivian so it was great to show them a bit about their culture. Second favorite is Natural History for the of the gems.
Definitely Air & Space for us!
American History for one, American Indian for another. Both have great stuff for kids to see.
We LOVE the Udvat Hazy Air & Space Museum. We’ve been a bunch of times since moving to the area!!
My son loves Natural History Museum and American Indian Museum.
My daughter seems to like the Natural History museum the best, but she’s still young her taste changes constantly!
My son’ favorite is Natural History. He immediately runs to the Coral Reef because it reminds him of Finding Nemo.
My 3 year old loves tha National zoo where he goes through all the exhibits naming all the animals and correcting me. “That’s an Alpaca Mommy, not a Llama.” His favorite animals are the Pacu fish.
My son likes Air & Space best. My daughter likes the Natural History Museum.
My 2 year old really enjoys the Natural History Museum right now.
We love the National Museum of the American Indian. Bonus is the great food!
Air and Space, though they regularly ask for the Museum of Natural History.
Both my Son and daughter just adore the National air and space museum. my son Mekhi is 7 and daughter Janiya is 9. They love the hands on so much. Anything that keeps them busy I love! Mekhi really loves everything science. So he has a million and one questions everytime we go (about 4 times a year lol). Janiya loves the store with the astronaut food. We are DC Natives and love everything DC. Thank you for your time
My son loves the Air and Space museum, but then anything that has to do with science is a real winner. My daughter loves going to the Natural History museum and seeing all of the animals. Course recently the American Indian has been a huge draw for both. They love going into the wigwam for a movie and trying all the awesome food in the cafeteria. We will go there just for lunch and end up staying there all day. We are so lucky to have the Smithsonian to expose our kids too.
My son’s favorite is the Air & Space Museum and my daughter loves to Natural History Museum.
We love the Air and Space museum.
My daughter loves the Air and Space museum.
My GodDaughter likes Natural History Museum.
They love air & space, but we just moved to the area and are looking forward to checking out more soon!
My boys LOVE the Smithsonian National Zoo, specifically the new Elephant House. They love visiting the elephants, the Farm animals, and the Great Cats! ROAR! Our second favorite is the Natural History Museum (more animals)!
My grandsons absolutely love the Air & Space museum!
My kiddo loves the natural history museum.
My son loves the American History Museum – specifically, the transportation exhibit. He’ll be 4 in August and will spend hours (literally) just running back and forth through that exhibit!
My 8 yr old loves Q?rius in natural history!
My kids love all of them, but Air & Space might be their favorite!
So many museums and to narrow it down to my kids’ favorite….so hard! It’s a trifecta toss up (truly) between the National Zoo, Air and Space (I personally like Udvar-Hazy better) and the Postal Museum. Now if you’re asking me what my favorite is…….
My daughter’s favorite Smithsonian museum is the Air & Space out by Dulles.
My boys ages 10, 11 have a special bond with the Smithsonian Natural History Museum for the past 3-4 years, after watching, “Night of the Museum”. Museum visits and websites help enhance their knowledge in history and geography. We live in Northern VA and consider being fortunate for the wealth of information and knowledge offered by the Smithsonian!
Also, thank you for putting together this mailing list. Our family enjoy spending time together and I always check your emails for new things we can experience. Sometime back you had emailed about the Laurel, MD indoor rock climbing place and we plan to take our children as a birthday gift (we do not do tangible gifts any more and believe that family activity creates lasting memories)
My daughter loves Natural History Museum, National Gallery of Art and American Indian Museum
Both Air & Space Museums (Chantilly and downtown) are my son’s favorites!
So many! We love the Air & Space on the mall, and the American Indian. We also had a nice visit to the National Portrait Gallery a couple of months ago.
Such a fun, giveaway, thanks! It would be a great excuse to get out to Udvar-Hazy!
Both kids love the Natural History Museum the most because of their Q?ruis classes!

Favorite museum is the Air and Space Museum.
My kids love Air and Space Museum! ✈️
Our favorite part of the museum is the shuttle.
My kids’ favorite Smithsonian museum is the Natural History Museum, or as they used to call it, the “dinosaur museum”.
We like the Natural History Museum.
We love the American Indian Museum.
American Indian Museum
We are a military family and have lived here since last Summer. My kids love the Natural History Museum. Thanks to your great site we have been able to find so many wonderful places to explore in the local area. Love exploring! Feel so very fortunate to live so close to such a cool city. Keep up the great work!
my kids love the American Indian Museum
My son’s favorite is actually Udvar Hazy. Last time we went to the Observation Tower, he didn’t want to leave!
My sons favorite museum is the National History Musuem and my daughters is national gallery of art
My 4 year old daughter loves the National Museum of Natural History!
We are taking our oldest son to DC for the first time next week, so his favorite is yet to be determined, although I will venture to say it will probably be the air & space.
Favorite SI Museum is hard, because we’ve been lucky enough to have a kid who literally ‘grew up’ in SI.
As a small child we were lucky enough to have our daughter in Smithsonian Early Enrichment Center (SEEC) which cemented her love of museums. Almost every day, she got to go American History or Natural History. These were her playgrounds, and she got used to combining learning and play.
My wife works at Air and Space, and so her pride in the family programs that her mom creates led to Air and Space becoming her second favorite museum. But she has always been an ‘arts kid.’ So I would have to say that the Portrait Gallery / American Art are her favorites. It’s the place we go on hangout days to walk through the fountain in the courtyard and see the Indian Paintings and visit her “marble ladies” on the second floor. Ultimately, the whole of SI is our favorite, and we are blessed to have access to such a wonderful, free resource.
Postal Museum surprised us last week so I will put that one down as the kids current favorite
My kids love the air and space museum. Especially the steven udvar-hazy.
My 4 year old loves the museum of natural history!
Natural history museum is our favorite! 🙂
Natural History is my daughter’s favorite!
The natural history museum and the air and space museum are always fighting for first place in my family.
The Portrait Gallery is a favorite of ours. It’s open when the others aren’t and has lots to see!
My daughter Lily loves the doll house at the smithsonian American history museum
My daughter’s favorite has always been the Natural History museum. As she gets older, she has begun to appreciate them all, including especially a recent trip to the National Museum of African Art.
Natural History fans here! My son loves the jewels.
Natural History for sure. We always seem to get lost (in a good way) in there for hours.
The favorite here would be American Indian and Natural History. The arrowhead and spearhead collections as well as the gem room are our favorites.
Udvar-hazy is our favorite.
Natural History Museum! We were there this afternoon.
The Udvar-Hazy Air and Space museum!
We love the Natural History Museum!
Our youngest likes Natural History– lions, and tigers, and bears, oh my!
I have a 3 year old and a 10 year old. It’s hard to find a museum that fits them both, but they both really enjoy the Udvar Hazy museum.
Thanks!
