Summer Activity: Newseum in Washington D.C.

It’s summer and the kids need activities to keep them occupied. There’s an exciting new attraction in Washington D.C. The Newseum includes 250,000 square feet of theaters, exhibition galleries and television studios on seven levels.

Its two-level Walter and Leonore Annenberg Theater is equipped for 3-D and a 4-D experience that takes visitors on a time-travel trip spanning more than 150 years. About 200 of its seats are “motion” types that move, vibrate and perform other tricks geared to the on-screen action. There are valves in seat backs that spray puffs of air and water.


Celebrating freedom of speech and the press, the Newseum stands between the White House and the Capital at the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue and 6th Street.

If you can, take a trip there with the entire family: you’ll all have fun.

About Admin

As a Christian mom of 3, I am always finding new ways to help the busy mommy. Our life on our small farm in East Tennessee affords me the opportunity to appreciate the value of hard work, family, and all that has been given to us. As some may know though, life on a farm is always busy. The Busy Moms blog was created as a place to share the lessons I learn for mothers much like myself. It takes a community to raise a family and the blogging community offers this community. Share with me your stories of being a Busy Mom and tips you have found along the way.
