Hiking

Free like all Smithsonian museums, access from National Mall. Despite the pandemic (2022), it is not necessary to book admission, only mouth and nose protection is mandatory. The museum is well prepared, understandable and interesting for young and old. In addition to a permanent exhibition, there are always special shows. At the moment it's butterflies.

Hiking

The National Museum of Natural History is very interesting and worth taking the time to visit. The collections include approximately 500 million specimens of plants, animals, fossils, minerals, rocks and meteorites, as well as human cultural artifacts. And what's great is that the entrance is free! The opening times are from 10: 00-17: 30 clock.
