The Washington DC National Zoo

The Washington DC National Zoo is one of the Smithsonian Museums.

 One of our family vacations to Washington DC included a trip to the zoo.  We visited on a blustery, cool day, but the visit was absolutely one of the best times that we spent in Washington DC. We were pretty glad that it was not real hot on the day that we visited because there is a lot of walking involved.

Since the National Zoo is part of the Smithsonian Institution, there is no admission charge.... an extra special bonus for family vacations.  From the Woodley Park-Zoo/Adams Morgan metro stop, it was about a 15 minute walk to the zoo entrance.  We were mesmerized by the completely natural setting of the park as soon as we entered.  We walked through the park in about an hour and a half.  Had it been a little warmer, we probably would have stayed a little longer.

The walk from the metro stop is not too bad.... about 4 blocks.
