If you"ve always wondered what a PCC car looks like, take a jaunt to the Capital Trolley Museum. If you have a future builder in your house, then the National Building Museum is a sure bet. Learn about Washington's local Jewish community at the Jewish Historical Society of Greater Washington children's programs. If your kids watch too much TV, let them learn about TV at the The Radio & Television Museum in Bowie.
