Nasa's Goddard Space Flight Center is only about 30 minutes from DC and is free to enter. We love educational, inexpensive outings! As you can see, the kids loved dressing up as astronauts and playing in the space shuttle. As they were so cute, Aaron and I now dream that our kids will one day aspire to become astronauts. : )
The center is not very big, but there is plenty of information to occupy your imagination and interest. They had one of those fun plasma globes that looks like tentacles of electricity are following the warmth of your hand. Aaron and I put together a puzzle of the Solar System.
They also have a cool theater. The screen is in the very center of the room in the shape of a suspended globe and the movie revolves around it! Very unique and fun.
