The 5 Best Outdoor Activities in Upper Northwest, District of Columbia (DC)
Washington DC is a hub for American politics and history. Attracting as many school field trips as it does travelers the district offers a peek into the country’s democratic origin. There are plenty of free museums to take advantage of but the real draw here is the memorials and monuments dedicated to great American leaders. Spend some contemplative time at the Reflecting Pool within the National Mall, among the most patriotic places in the country.

2. D.C. Ducks
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 649 reviews
Make a splash in our Nation’s Capital aboard the DC Ducks, 1942 amphibious transport vehicles used to support and carry troops during World War II. Today they are a great way to see Washington by both land and sea. Winding our way first through the monuments, the Mall, the Capitol and museums of the Smithsonian before splashing into the Potomac and under the flight path at Reagan National Airport. Its fun for all ages!

Reviewed By 525deannem - Dublin, Ireland
I had a couple hours before I needed to be at the airport and saw that the National Zoo was within walking distance of my hotel on a sunny DC day. After grabbing some lunch to take along, I headed to the zoo. Orangutans that can cross the pedestrian path high over head and giant pandas strolling through their enclosure made this a particularly memorable visit. I would love to go back with my grand daughters!
