Baltimore (Inner Harbor, Cruise),
Washington D.C. (White House, US Capitol, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Air %26amp; Space Museum, Lincoln %26amp; Jefferson Memorials, Vietnam %26amp; Korean War Memorials).
Well i wanted to know if the memorials were free. and wanted to know which ones cost $$$Price of Touring in Washington?
Spy museum costs money, all the other ones are free, the zoo is free too, if you ride metro you have to pay for it, usually varies depending on time of day and where your heading to. The rush hour(or kill me please) fee is between 3-7pm on metro trains. If its before 3 or after 7 its usually considerably less expensive. White house doesnt really do tours anymore, Im not sure about the capitol building, but the Natural History Museum is by far one of my favorites, the Air and Space museum is pretty cool, all Memorials are outside and free
also a word of advice, dont take the double busses around for a "tour" walk on foot between the museums and check out the national art gallery(its near the natural history museum) theres also a very interesting museum of American History, its all free. Only thing is food at the museums is very expensive so bring your own lunch most of the museums are within walking distance of eachother. The beauty is its all freePrice of Touring in Washington?
The good news is that virtually all of the sights in Washington are free--you've paid for them through your tax dollars. Specifically:
White House: free tours, but you have to arrange for them several months in advance through your US Congressman's office
US Capitol: free tours, which you can arrange in advance (which guarantees you a specific time) or by showing up at the US Capitol Visitors Center
National Museum of Natural History: free admission. If you want to see one of the Imax films, there's a charge for that
Smithsonian Air %26amp; Space Museum: the same as above for the museum on the Mall. If you want to go to the Air %26amp; Space Museum's Udvar-Hazy Center at Dulles Airport, admission is free but there's a $15 parking charge.
Lincoln %26amp; Jefferson Memorials, Vietnam %26amp; Korean War Memorials: all free. Just walk up to them.
Other freebies: all of the Smithsonian Museums in Washington, DC, the National Gallery of Art, the National Holocaust Memorial Museum, Bureau of Engraving and Printing (where paper currency is printed), the Library of Congress, the US Supreme Court, the Botanic Garden, the National Zoo, World War II Memorial, FDR Memorial, Theodore Roosevelt Island, Ford's Theater tours, the Washington Arboretum--you get the idea...
Places that are privately operated that charge an admission fee: the Newseum, Mount Vernon, the Spy Museum, the Corcoran Art Museum, the Phillips Art Gallery, and the National Museum of Crime and Punishment.Price of Touring in Washington?
Of the things you mentioned I think only a cruise in Baltimore would be at cost. The rest are federal monuments and are free to see.
