Best For FAMILIES Readers' Choice Awards

And The Winners Are . . .

Our readers have, once again, taken the opportunity to tell us who and what they like best in the Washington area. We have counted the ballots and we’re excited to reveal our readers’ choices. Our annual poll has become a source of valuable information that our readers look forward to receiving every year; much anticipated is our list of restaurants, merchants, organizations, and venues that provide Washington with the very best. We are always amazed by the thousands of people who take the time to send us their choices! Some categories are hotly contested with various votes, so we reveal the winners by listing them at the top of the list. The other nominees are in alphabetical order. If your favorite didn’t win, please cast your vote again next year!

*Being voted “The Best” by our readers is not a public endorsement by FAMILIES Magazines.
It’s just a chance for us to recognize those businesses, services and products deemed best overall by our readers. Winners are noted by an asterisk and are placed at the top of their category.
