Kid-friendly Activities this weekend in DC, Maryland & Virginia (8/2 - 8/4)

Jack is ALL smiles at Lego Discovery Center DC in Springfield, VA | Click the image for our recap!
Another hot weekend coming up in the DMV area! Please, please make sure to hydrate & grab the sunnies, sunblock & everything needed for these hot, hot days. Here's an indoor play space rec if you're looking to stay cool this weekend. I recently shared on IG that we visited the Lego Discovery Center in Springfield, VA. It was AWESOME and jam packed with fun activities. Jack (age 5) had more fun than Liv, who is now 10 but she had a couple of favorite spots throughout the center too. They have 4D, 12 minute movies that show every half hour or so. They include mist, wind and confetti that drops from the ceiling. They also have a laser course, small, interactive, rollercoaster-like ride and carousel among a bunch of other really cool features. And the cafe is decently priced! Click the image above for my round-up of the experience on Instagram. Lego Discovery Center has made our list of top 5 new experiences for us of 2024, for sure. Now on to these events...
