25+ Free Things to Do in Washington, D.C. (Updated 2025)

"I appreciated the National Archives Museum for housing foundational documents like the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, and the Constitution (and a rare Magna Carta), with informative panels and interactive exhibits for children, and recommended reserving a timed entry ticket online in advance to avoid lines (free with a $1 reservation fee)." - Matthew Kepnes
