Washington D.C. with Family

Seeking to plan a weekend trip with kids that’s rich in American history and culture, while entertaining all ages in your group? Let’s talk about planning a few days in Washington D.C. for you and your family!

The first thing we want to plan is how long of a getaway and where you will stay. Washington D.C. and the surrounding area is populated with many hotels that are in fact family- and budget-friendly. Depending on your family’s needs, your Pineapple Escapes Travel Advisor will recommend a few hotels that are full of fun amenities your party may find ideal: a swimming pool, room service, location in close proximity to most monuments, and other special features that will make your stay all the more enjoyable.

You’ll want your travel advisor to book excursions like the super child-friendly International Spy Museum. At this super cool, hands-on museum, your children ages 10 and under will be exploring various spy gear, learning facts about espionage, and the thrills that go with being a spy. Want to go on a secret mission? Children can register for different activities that are true to modern-day spying: diffusing a bomb and crawling through an obstacle could not be any cooler!

How about spending a day at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo? See zoo animals in the numerous exhibits, learn about conservation, and who doesn’t want to know about sloth bears! This zoo is full of fun and excitement for all ages. The keepers at this zoo are all about sharing their experiences, and you can even pregame on the zoo’s website and check out the live webcams!

When staying in D.C., the most inspirational and amazing part of your stay with be paying homage to our United States Presidents past and present. You can visit the Lincoln Memorial, see the White House, and also pay tribute to the bravest civil rights activist there ever was, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Depending on the time of year you go, you may also see the beautiful cherry blossoms in full bloom!

Washington D.C. is not short on places to dine, and depending on your crew’s palate, your Pineapple Escapes agent can reserve dining reservations at some of the yummiest restaurants like Firefly, where the most delish avocado toast and fresh homemade lemonade are sure to please even the youngest of picky diners. Want to eat on the go? Hit Union Market and grab amazingly tempting food items like empanadas, farm fresh breads, donuts, sushi, and other delectable treats that are making my mouth water as I type and recollect all that this food bonanza has to offer! Bring a reusable bag to take some back to your room for later too!
