What Makes This a Great Family-Friendly Activity?
For kids, visiting the Washington Monument feels like going on a short but exciting adventure to the top of the city. The elevator ride up is a thrill on its own, and once at the observation level, kids love spotting famous landmarks like the White House, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Capitol from above—turning DC into a real-life map.
The experience is simple, quick, and memorable, which makes it a great stop for families. The windows at the top encourage curiosity and questions, while the ride down showcases historic stones and inscriptions embedded in the monument’s walls. With plenty of open space around the monument to run, picnic, or relax afterward, it’s an easy win that gives kids a big sense of scale and history without requiring a long attention span.
