A great DC companionReviewed by Sarah Lehman, 2009-10-20
This is a great DC companion if you are going with children. Easily organized with loads of tidbits like if strollers are allowed, where to find kid-friendly food nearby, what Metro stop is closest and how much the attraction costs. Although, most meusums are free. DC is a beautiful, history-rich city and a must-see for every American. You will fall in love with your country all over again--just be prepared to walk.
Great guide for familiesReviewed by Dio_K, 2009-07-12
We used this more than the Fodor's Washington DC guide and the Eyewitness Guide. The prices, times, where to eat and Metro stops were easy to find and read. The tips about the best times to get to a specific site and when to buy tickets were great. Our kids are 11 and 8 and the suggestions about what might be interesting to them were spot on. I'd recommend this book to anyone going to DC with kids.
What Would I Have Done Without It?Reviewed by B. Silvey, 2009-01-07
We bought this for a trip to D.C. with our nine-year-old granddaughter. I bought it expecting it to be for her benefit, but it turned out to be for mine. I would have spent hours on the Internet getting the information given in this book. The most useful part to us was the information on which Metro stop to use for each attraction. That alone made it worth the price. The information on where to eat was very useful, too. It was small enough to fit right in my purse so I didn't have to carry it around all day. We had already decided on the sites we were going to visit, so I didn't use it for that purpose, but nevertheless, it had interesting facts that I could relate to my granddaughter. It was well worth the purchase.
Very helpfulReviewed by Stephanie A. Dixon, 2008-08-23
This book gave us great ideas for places to take our 6 year old. Most importantly, he is allergic to everything and autistic. This translates into an extemely picky eater. With it's recommendations for kid-friendly eating, Around Washington, D.C. with Kids is a God-send!
Best book for Kids going to DCReviewed by Carolyn J. Manning, 2008-04-17
My 10 year old son loves this book and so do I! It tells us the important stuff, location, contact info, prices, ages & hours. It also gives us little things like places to eat and fun other thing to notice and do while we are at each place. We LOVE this book!
