Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

At Washington, D.C.’s National Air & Space Museum, guests can explore the universe by watching the programs in the IMAX theater and planetarium or by peering through specialized telescopes in the observatory. Virtual reality simulators transport the most adventurous into “space,” while those who are content to remain grounded will enjoy seeing the exhibitions and collections on display throughout the facility. Daily tours and educational activities as well as scheduled lectures and events give kids and adults many opportunities to learn from the museum’s knowledgeable and engaging staff. The museum is open daily (except for December 25) and admission is free.
