Q:
I am going to visit the National Mall the second week of July (Mon-Fri). I'm wondering what the lines are for entry are going to be like on weekdays. Also we plan on spending entire days at the Natural History Museum and the Air and space Museum. Are there any of the museums that can be grouped together and do multiple ones in one day?
A:
We went in November and there wasn’t a line for this venue. Air & Space was busy and the African American one we didn’t even try it was so busy.
Q:
How do we get from DCA airport to the Air Space Museum without renting a car ?
A:
Uber will cost about $45.....depending on the time of day. We did it two weeks ago in the early morning.
