Capital Children's Museum
Located near Union Station on Capital Hill, the Capital Children's Museum is the premier family spot for fun and learning while in the Washington, DC area. Here, children can have fun while learning by climbing, touching, tasting and best of all, using their imagination regarding the wide world that surrounds them. There are so many things to do when you visit the Capital Children's Museum, you almost need more than one visit to be able to take everything in.
Did you know that you can even see what it is like to be a child in Japan attending a Japanese school? How cool is that? You can even be the star in your very own cartoon when you visit the Animation Studio.
Opening in 2008, the completely renovated and totally innovative Capital Children's Museum will be reborn as the National Children's Museum. The plans are to take the existing museum which has been enlightening young minds for 30 years and turning it into a completely state-of-the-art museum. This vibrant new museum with a strong focus on children will serve local, regional, national and international audiences.
This resurrection of the former museum will be a sign of the dedication to giving children the freedom to learn while have fun doing it, on their own terms. Through programs which bring the educational processes to life with information and amusing hands-on learning, the museum goal is to be able to introduce kids to different cultures and a wide range of new ideas.
There is a bright, inquisitive child hidden within all of us, and great places such as the Capital Children's Museum or the "soon-to-come" National Children's Museum are perfect venues to bring that inner child to life.
