Our area is a mecca for family-friendly live entertainment and museums. If your children can sit still for 45 minutes or so, they are probably ready to see a (short) play or a concert. Here are some recent shows, museums and other attractions around the DC area the OK staff has taken in. Can you recommend something else? Please send us a review!

"I won this membership in the Rock-n-Tots raffle. When I logged on to find that it was a membership to a website, my first thought was, "people pay money to belong to a website, especially a website that just contains information that is open to the public anyway." Well, I have to say that it hasn't even been a week and I check your website more than my own e-mail! I love it! I have told everyone who comes within five feet of me about it. It should win a parents' choice award."
