Don’t miss: Explore the 880-degree surface of Venus in the “Walking on Other Worlds” immersive experience, where gigantic curved screens surround you during a journey around the solar system. For an adventure firmly on this planet, the Speed Shop, stationed next to Mario Andretti’s Indy 500 car in the “Nation of Speed” exhibition, feels like a real mechanic’s garage with drawers kids can open and close and tactile tools. This is a hands-on programming space with a piston engine and tire changing stations — and it’s next to fun games like racecar simulators and an Evel Knievel pinball machine. And if you find yourself in the gift shop scooping up packages of Moon Cheese and freeze-dried astronaut ice cream, head to its lower level to see a lifesize astronaut made entirely of Legos. When you visit the restrooms, you’ll notice tidbits on the walls explaining bathroom breaks for astronauts in space.

4. INTERNATIONAL SPY MUSEUM

700 L’Enfant Plaza SW. Hours vary daily. spymuseum.org. Ticket prices vary, but children 6 and under are always free.

How many educational experiences allow you to clamber through air ducts, dangle from a simulated helicopter or playfully administer electroshocks to a sibling? The International Spy Museum, which landed in its sleek new building in L’Enfant Plaza in 2019, boasts 10,000 artifacts in its collection and unwinds a whole lot of intrigue over two sprawling floors. The first of the exhibit floors dives into the intelligence process, from secret stealing to covert action. The next floor unpacks serious ethical questions about civil liberties (which might go over the heads of little ones, but there’s plenty for kids to explore here, too).

A ticket to the museum means you’ll be offered a badge and a “cover” (our spy identity on a recent visit was “Nico from Athens,” with “cobalt” as the special code word), and digital stations throughout the museum will test visitors’ newfound spy skills in topics like code cracking and the art of disguise. The computerbased games are a hit with kids, of course. But a group of elementaryschoolers seemed just as jazzed about see-it-to-believe-it historical gadgets

Don’t miss: The “Covert Action” section of the museum has the most physical activities for kids, including a “hang time” challenge to see if they can hold on to an overhead bar for 60 seconds and a spying activity that gives kids the chance to scramble around in an air duct while parents or friends on the ground enter a secret code to try to see them. Youngsters might also enjoy covertly peering in on their parents via a camera in a potted plant in the “Berlin: City of Spies” exhibit, which includes a re-creation of an East Berlin hotel room outfitted with surreptitious surveillance devices. Kids might want to spend their souvenir allowance in the museum gift shop, stocked with oddities like disappearing ink, tiny walkie-talkies and rearview sunglasses.

5. NATIONAL MUSEUM OF AMERICAN HISTORY

1300 Constitution Ave. NW. 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. americanhistory.si.edu. Free.

In the portion of the National Museum of American History’s new “Entertainment Nation” exhibit devoted to children’s television, there’s one thing grown-ups might overlook. The “Sesame Street” characters — including every toddler’s favorite, Elmo — are posed so that their sight line is directed to look a child in the eye. That’s one small example of how the curators at this collection of beloved American objects make children feel like valued visitors.

That kid-centric focus is also the reason the museum houses an indoor play area, Wegmans Wonderplace, that is decorated with portraits of American children throughout the centuries. “Every person who made history started their life as a child. A lot of museums don’t do a great job of showing that kids are part of history, too,” says Carrie Heflin, early education specialist at the museum.

Many of the American History Museum’s exhibits include elements that will appeal to children, including an opportunity to climb up on a reproduction old-timey high wheel bike in the “Object Project” exhibit and a chance to follow the adventures of Bud the dog, an actual passenger in the first car driven across the United States, in the “America on the Move” transportation exhibit. Little ones will also love the big locomotives housed in that wing.
