And while the charm of the snow can be enchanting, the reality is the cold weather can catch up with the young and old alike and make for a less than comfortable family-friendly day. After you have built your snowman, spent hours sledding and have thrown a few snowballs, it might be time to find some more climate friendly activities for your crew.
And we have tons of options for you! To start, we have revamped our list of local museums (LINK). The Metro DC Smithsonian Museum destinations are all free and offer endless opportunities for learning and discovery. For something even closer to home,
