I LOVE THIS PLACE! My mommy friend introduced me to it a few years back and we just can't get back there enough. To be honest, I've not even explored anything past the first floor--the fountain and The Building Zone, which is specifically for the toddler and young preschool aged children. The Building Zone is an interactive, imaginative play area for kids 2-6 with their parents. There are large building blocks, hard hats, tool belts, bulldozers, playhouse, puzzles, Lego's, and more! And there is a beautiful lobby with fountain, gift shop and Firehook Bakery and Coffee House to grab lunch and sit and gawk at the architecture of the building. My son loves checking out each gorgeous pillar and I can't stop looking up either!
The National Building Museum is free, but a $5 donation is recommended and is open to the public Monday through Saturday, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, and Sunday, 11:00 am to 5:00 pm. Starting November 1, the Building Zone hours are Monday through Saturday, 10:00 am-4:00 pm, and Sunday, 11:00 am-4:00 pm. The Museum is closed Thanksgiving and Christmas. On rare occasions, the Museum may close for a special event.
It is very easy to get too, the NBM is located across the street from Judiciary Square station on Metro's red line. Alternatively, take the yellow or green lines to Gallery Place/Chinatown. Use the Galleries/Arena exit to F Street; at the top of the last escalator (F Street), turn left and walk a short 2 blocks to the Museum. Visit the Metro website for more station information.
