"Worth the trip"
It's a hike from DC, but if you are in Virginia it's a nice day trip. The museum is in an old historic building. You'll think you went back in time 100 years. All the exhibits are interactive and the entire museum is child proof so it's safe for even the young ones to roam around. There is no food on-site but you can leave and return throughout the day.

"Discover This ..."
Discovery place out in Winchester Va is a happening place. My children were 1.5 and 2.5 when we went and there was something for them to do at every station. Just make sure to call head to see if there school field trips that day becuase it can get kinda crazy. We'd go back again.

"Fun with the Family"
Although a small facility, this museum appeals to young children by offering hands-on activities in art, science, and natural history. The climbing wall is popular, as are the Hospital Emergency Room and the Mirrors attractions. Kids love the paleontology exhibit, where a staff member works on a dinosaur skull, preparing it for display, and answers questions about how the work is done and what the skull tells paleontolgists about the dinosaur.
Throughout the year, the museum offers special programs and workshops. Classes have covered the steps of dissecting a brain and Mayan archaeology, as well as readings offered by a well-known author of children’s books. The Visiting Artist Series (second weekend of each month; free with admission; no reservations needed) offers families the chance to work on art projects together.
The museum’s Web site has interesting interactive experiments and puzzles.
