What is there to do in Washington D. C. during April and where should a family of five stay?

Question

We are going on spring break. We like History, but want some fun activities too. Kids are 13, 11, 8. Are there special festivals or exhibits?

Answer 1

I'd recommend the Days Inn in the 4500 block (or thereabouts) of Connecticut Ave NW. It's a generally affordable hotel, and one of the nicer Days Inn properties. They offer free parking and it is about a 2 block walk to the Red Line Metro. The neighborhood is very safe, a little on the quiet side, and there are a handful of good, affordable restaurants within 2 blocks. You can also look at some of the Arlington, VA hotels but my experience with Metro is that you'll spend so much more on fares between DC and VA that your family of 5 will easily use up the savings between staying in the city and in the 'burbs.

This is peak season for tourists in DC so no matter where you stay, the rates will be higher. If you have not booked already, do that as soon as you can!

The Cherry Blossom Festival is a great experience but if you are not here right during that week, there's still a lot going on. Anytime in April is a great time to go to DC. If you want, you can send me a PM with the dates you will be here and I can make some suggestions--- no need to tell you about all the fun that will happen while you are not in town!

Answer 2

I'm not sure but I believe the Cherry Blossom Festival is in April. Also, the Barnum (sp) and Bailey circus usually comes to town for a week in April.

Answer 3

you will not have the means to stay at a inn until you have a super form of money. you like a little while era house condo. I regarded up the prolonged stay inn that's in actuality a inn room with a kitchen/ residing room section. many times they are exceptionally inexpensive, yet this is DC. the main inexpensive value i got here across replaced into 50 a evening. the main costly replaced into over one hundred. The farther you're from the city, the extra much less costly this is. the priority you will desire to evaluate is transportation. The $50 one wasn't even on the threshold of the metro and replaced right into a ninety minute tension. there replaced into one on the prepare line whether it replaced into eighty 4 a evening. That got here as much as 7,000 on your stay. i did not element interior the value of the prepare holiday from there to the quit close to the white homestead. A month-to-month bypass could value you approximately 2 hundred a month. you will desire to seek for residences in DC that have a little while era hire. they are in a position to furnish you something yet even one in a foul community is going to be a minimum of 800 a month. company residences can charge with the aid of the week maximum situations and which could be particularly intense. regardless of you do, %. something on the metro. you do not elect to circulate to and fro. stable success

Answer 5

With the "Metro," you really don't have to stay in D.C. If fact you will save a ton if you stay on the outskirts and take the Metro in daily. Search for any decent hotel that had a metro stop within walking distance.
