For fans of aeronautics and anything that flies, one of the best things to do in DC is a trip to Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. It doesn’t get better anywhere else: after all, this museum is home to the widest collection of spacecraft and aircraft in the world. Anyone interested in the research of aviation and space flight science, history and technology would be thrilled to pay this museum a visit. The center also hosts specialists who study other scientific pursuits like geophysics, astronomy and geology. For thrill seekers, a mock cockpit is available for them to play pilot for an hour (or at least, a few minutes) in at America By Air, one of the museum’s permanent exhibitions.
