CHILDREN'S ATTRACTIONS
1. NATIONAL AIR AND SPACE MUSEUM
Kids' dreams are founded on and inspired by these ravishing soaring devices and
spectacular rockets, while their parents and grandparents can reminisce over the
early days of aviation and see how far we've come. Children can experience a full-
motion flight in an aircraft simulator (for further details see

2. NATIONAL ZOOLOGICAL PARK
The animals in Washington, D.C.'s zoo are housed in large, recreated natural habitats
and are close enough to be clearly observed. Sea lion demonstrations never fail to de-
light. The Speedwell Conservation Carousel showcases endangered species, includ-
ing the much-loved giant pandas, under a colorful open-air pavilion (for further de-
tails see
