dc ward days

For over 50 years, we’ve played alongside generations of Washingtonians, inspiring a love of learning through hands-on, play-based exhibits and programs. We wouldn’t be who we are without the support of the people of DC. To celebrate our community and show our appreciation to this wonderful city, we are introducing DC Ward Days!

Each DC ward is assigned a special DC Ward Day, a time when respective residents are invited to the Museum for a FREE day of play!

To reserve DC Ward Day tickets, enter your zip code as a promo code on the Discounts page during checkout. Remember, your zip code will only work on your specific DC Ward Day, and day-of proof of address will be required when checking in to the Museum.
