We checked out of our hotel and checked our luggage with hotel till our car picked us up. We were able to spend about 4 more hours of sighting seeing this way. Awesome museum! Enjoy D.C.
I was wondering how far of distance is it to the National Geographic museum, the holocaust museum and the Natural History museum. Is there parking (even if it cost money) to where I can park at one museum and walk to the other museums or are they far distances from each other. Advice please?
A:
We were able to walk to all three with out a problem(4 adults). Didn’t have a car so can’t advise on parking.
