During our visits to Washington DC we typically do they typical
visits to monuments and museums. So as a change we decided to go to the National zoo. I was preggo with our son at the time so didn't get to see everything but it was so fun! We loved the pandas which are a zoo rarity. Plus admission is free--so that's unbelievable! We didn't feel like it was a 'waste' leaving without seeing everything cause no money involved! Can't wait to go back and take my little boy!
Oh my, if you want a FULL day of it and you haven't had enough of Washington D.C. already you must check out the zoo. You name it and this zoo has it all the way from Tigers to Panda's. They even have carts you can ride on it is so big. My sons favorite part was the GIANT snakes they had in the snake house. OOOH Gross. It is a very memorable experience you'll want to check out if you are in the area. The very best part about this experience is that admission is FREE.
