Family-Friendly HOHO — Expanded Planner

Families find HOHO convenient; this expanded section includes timing, kid-friendly exhibits, and sanity-saving tips.

Top kid stops

National Air & Space Museum: Hands-on exhibits and the Wright Brothers gallery.
Natural History: Dinosaurs, mammal halls, and interactive discovery stations.
National Zoo: Not always directly on HOHO routes—use a transfer point or metro connection.

Practical family tips

Bring wet wipes, sunscreen, a lightweight stroller, and a compact first-aid kit.
Plan one long stop (90–120 minutes) and one or two short stops (30–45 minutes) in a day to prevent meltdowns.

Food & restrooms

Many museums offer family restrooms and nursing rooms—check museum websites for locations.
Pack easy snacks for lines or downtime between stops.
