Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History

The National Museum of Natural History has been my girls' favorite place in DC to visit. They've told me everything else is boring. Family favorites included the dinosaur hall and butterfly hall. I enjoyed seeing the Hope Diamond. The girls got to participate in a hands on exhibit where they wore bird masks and mimicked pollination. We learned that birds, bees, bats and even geckos help pollinate fruits and vegetables.
