Learning doesn’t have to be strictly a Monday through Friday thing for kids. It doesn’t even have to be done sitting down. We’ve rounded up the coolest, kid-friendliest walking tours that will keep little ones engaged and tucker them out for bedtime, all while imparting a little historical wisdom.

Walk of the Town – Monumental sTOURies

Story lovers and parents alike will get a charge out of guide, Tim Stewart’s, facts and anecdotes about D.C.’s most famous landmarks. Wandering around The Mall, Lincoln Memorial and the White House (with everything in between), Tim offers a unique perspective via pop quizzes, insider tidbits (did you know Congress considered building a pyramid inside the Capitol Rotunda instead of the Washington Monument to honor President Washington?!) and even brings some snacks along (for grumbling tummies)!

Cost: Free, tips welcomed
