Washington Must-Visit — National Air and Space Museum (Udvar-Hazy Center) 🇺🇸
#holidayitinerary
Located at 14390 Air and Space Museum Pkwy, Chantilly, VA, this Smithsonian treasure is a paradise for aviation and space lovers — and the best part, admission is free (parking $15). Open daily 10:00–17:30 (closed on Christmas), it houses legendary icons: the Space Shuttle Discovery, the Enola Gay B-29 bomber, the SR-71 Blackbird spy plane, and even the Wright brothers’ aircraft and Apollo 11 command module. Getting there from D.C. is easy — take the Blue/Orange Metro to Rosslyn and hop on bus 5A to Dulles, or transfer via West Falls Church to the Washington Flyer airport bus, then a $1 Virginia transit shuttle. For the ultimate experience, start at the main exhibition hangar, explore floor-to-ceiling aircraft displays, then end your visit with a show at the IMAX theater for a cinematic journey through the skies.
