Lego architecture
The Building museum in DC had a lego exhibit showcasing some of the world's tallest buildings in legos. I thought it would be interesting for the kids to see what can be done with legos if you really put your mind to it. The building museum doesn't have much to see, they only seem to have an exhibit, a store, and an eating area. It is also one of the few museums that charge - $5 per person.
I paid the $5 per person and we wandered up to the exhibit room. The kids spend about 5 seconds staring at each building and then wandered over to the piles of lego bricks for kids to build stuff. And so my kids started building... for two hours. Since there wasn't much left to do in the museum, we left.
I realized I paid $15 for my kids to play with someone else's legos.
