"Great Theater for little ones"

We visited this theater on a Friday for the performance Extinction Stinks geared for children 3 - 7.  My 3 year old twins seemed to enjoy the performance which made it worth the trip into the city.  The cost was $5 per ticket per child and $6 per adult.

Great things about the theater:
Easily accessible by public transportation
It is surrounded by lots of museums, galleries and even a garden
It is a part of the Smithsonian Institution
Easy to find
You can bring your snack and eat in the adjoining gardens

Not so great thing2:
The elevator to the theater was not working so we had to enter through a one of the art galleries.  This wasn't so bad since we got a chance to walk through the gardens.
I had to pay for a ticket for myself even though the show was only for children.

We will definitely be going back for future performances.
