A big art museum that actually plans for kids: Tot Land downstairs is for play, books and making things, and there are loaner strollers at the door. Do the galleries first and save Tot Land for the reward.
A Land Park pizzeria for an early dinner with the kids, with a kid's pasta and an ice cream sandwich made with Gunther's vanilla for dessert.
A burger place on R Street with its own beer for you and plain burgers, grilled cheese and hot dogs on the kids' menu.
