Spring break is a great time for kids (and parents) to get a break from school and the never-ending barrage of homework assignments and enjoy more family time. But many parents still work during the day, so it can be helpful to have fun experiences to keep kids safe and occupied when they’re not at school.
Here are just a few options for spring break experiences in the DMV:
