Overview
The National Children's Museum at Woodrow Wilson Plaza puts hands-on learning at the center of every exhibit. Dream Machine's three-story climber and slide anchors the space, flanked by dedicated infant and toddler zones — Little Dreamers (cloud-themed) and Little Movers (gross and fine motor skills). Older kids engage with Data Science Alley, Engineering Games + Play, and a Nickelodeon Art + Tech exhibit. The traveling exhibit hall currently features Mo Willems characters through May 10, 2026.
