Washington DC

🚼Pram

The National Mall is flat, wide, and entirely stroller-friendly, and nearly all Smithsonian museums have elevators and are free to enter, which is a huge advantage for families managing nap schedules. The Metro has elevators at most stations, though it's worth checking ahead as some are occasionally out of service.

🍽️Food & Eating

The Smithsonian museum cafeterias and the many casual restaurants around Eastern Market and Georgetown are all set up for kids. Tap water is safe to drink.

🛡️Safety

The National Mall, Georgetown, and Capitol Hill tourist corridors are well policed and safe for families, though as in any capital city it's worth sticking to well-trafficked areas at night. Spring cherry blossom season is beautiful but very crowded.

🏥Hospitals

Children's National Hospital is one of the top paediatric hospitals in the US and centrally located. Pharmacies (CVS, Walgreens) are on nearly every corner for everyday needs.
