Immerse in Crystalline at ARTECHOUSE
ARTECHOUSE, the gallery in Southwest DC known for its visually stunning and immersive digital art, just announced that its current exhibition, Crystalline, has been extended through February. Even better, you have a chance to win a Family 4-Pack of tickets to experience it!
Crystalline has transformed the gallery into a blue-hued haven intended to evoke calm and peace during a turbulent time. Large scale projections on the walls of the main gallery and smaller ones in side areas engage and enchant as they encourage play. Just about all of it is interactive, as the images change with viewers’ motions. Immersing into the depths of the color, even just for a little while, is a dazzling and delightful escape from the bizarre Covid world outside.
ARTECHOUSE is taking extra measures to ensure safety in response to Covid-19. Capacity is limited, guests must wear masks, directional signage helps social distancing, there are hand sanitizing stations, and cleaning and disinfecting takes place hourly. You can read more about their safety policies here.
Crystalline is running at ARTECHOUSE through February 28, 2021. Tickets are $19-24/adult, $12-15/child, $17-20/students, seniors, military & first responders (the lower price for online advance tickets, higher at the door). Children under 4 are free.

Last year, the Christmas displays at the Botanical Gardens. This year, the light display at Watkins Park.
We LOVED checking out the holiday market at the REACH last weekend based on your post! And we finally checked out the National Arboretum (I have always wanted to go there based on your raves about it) and it did not disappoint! Thank you, KidFriendlyDC!

Definitely the Botanic Garden state-by-state Christmas display. What great memories.
We did the Grinch’s Grotto at Tysons Corner Mall and the Winter Lights at Seneca Creek State Park. Thank you for all the great ideas!
This year, learned about the Wharf films for the h0lidays! We tried to sign up, but alas, it was fully sold out for the rest of December!
We loved(d) the train display at the Botanical Gardens! Will miss it on Christmas Eve this year!

Love the list of ice skating rinks in the area! Thank you!
Festival of Lights at Watkins Regional Park
Bull Run Festival of Light
One, from a couple of years ago and that I will never forget was ICE! Christmas on the Potomac. We loved all the decorations at National Harbor and the kids absolutely LOVED ICE,. That time we were lucky enough to meet one of the Chinese ice sculptors. What an unforgettable experience. Thank you 🙂
❤️😃❤️😃❤️ Festival of lights in a Mormon temple was a blast! We areoving out of the country soon so can’t see our family and friends this year. It was the perfect option to feel the festivity. Thank you Kids friendly DC!! ❤️😃❤️😃❤️
No question it’s the trains at the botanical garden. Not this year though. Outside lights do we will try Bull Run.
Some of our family’s happiest holiday memories were the annual trips to see the trains at Union Station and Botanical Gardens.
