National Building Museum- \u201cBuilding Stories\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Newly opened in January, this ambitious exhibit looks at great buildings through the lens of children’s literature. It’s an interactive exhibit designed for children and their parents to enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rest of the museum is great too. It delights the kid in all of us through exhibits like \u201cBrick City\u201d or their immersive summer installations. It also has an outstanding museum store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Bond<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Spy Museum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This paid experience puts you in the shoes of spies both real and fiction. You’re given a secret identity when you start the museum, letting you explore your spy’s story as you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBond in Motion\u201d just opened this month, showcasing iconic vehicles from the movie series. While it is an additional fee, it’s worth it for huge James Bond fans, letting you see the BMWs, Jaguars, and Aston Martins used across the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Air<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Air and Space Museum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Eighteen months ago, the Air and Space Museum reopened with eight updated exhibits. If you haven’t gone yet, it’s well worth the visit. It’s the most popular family museum on the Mall for a reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only does it bring air and space stories to life, there’s plenty to keep young kids entertained. There’s even a special mother’s room with kids’ toys for nursing moms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This free option requires reservations for tickets. Get them on their website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

None of those strike your fancy? Here are three more recently opened exhibits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
