Building Stories at the Building Museum

1. Activities for a rainy day in DC? You can find loads of ideas in these KFDC posts:

2. A wonderful exhibit to enjoy with kids: Building Stories at the National Building Museum. Exploring the world of architecture, engineering, construction, and design found in children’s books, it is full of hands-on activities with fun, magical touches. Admission is $7/youth, $10/adults and that gets you into all of the exhibits at the museum. Hours are 10am – 4pm Thursday – Monday.

3. The best burgers around DC, according to Eater.

4. When you ask Chat GPT to roast your home… haha. (But I seriously love the spaces the interior designer creates.)

5. 10 Happy Things for May 💕

Giveaway: Enter to Win Tickets to “Charlotte’s Web” at Adventure Theatre!

See a beloved children’s book come to life on stage this spring!

Charlotte’s Web just opened at Adventure Theatre and runs through May 25. It’s a great time to catch a show at the venue in Glen Echo Park — you can enjoy even more there, like the playground and picnic area, plus the beautiful Dentzel Carousel opening May 3.

Charlotte’s mission to save Wilbur unfolds with the unveiling of her miraculous web, adorned with the proclamation “Some pig.” Thus begins a triumphant crusade, culminating in Wilbur’s salvation and a poignant gesture honoring Charlotte’s legacy. This timeless tale celebrates the power of friendship and the enduring impact of kindness, promising both actors and audience an enchanting afternoon filled with warmth and wonder.

Showtimes are Saturdays and Sundays at 11am and 2pm. Tickets are $25 and available for purchase online. Of course, you can also try to win them through the giveaway below!

[Note from Adventure Theatre: Charlotte’s Web explores themes of friendship, loss, and the cycle of life. The story includes vague discussions of animal husbandry and the passing of a beloved character, which may be emotional for some audience members. Parents and guardians are encouraged to consider their child’s sensitivity to these themes.]

Charlotte’s Web
Where: Adventure Theatre | Glen Echo Park, MD
When: April 25 – May 25
Tickets: $25
