Prepare to see the Potomac and the surrounding area in a way you've never seen it before. The iconic Capital Wheel features climate-controlled gondola units (so, you'll have heat for those chilly days and AC for those blazing ones) that rise 180 feet into the air. Be prepared to snap tons of photos for your Instagram!

Gather the little ones and take them on the National Harbor's 36-foot Americana-themed Carousel. They can ride on any whimsical creature of their choosing. And when they're done with the Carousel, they can burn off some energy at the new playground and toddler play area. The Carousel re-opens for the season on April 5.
Urban Pirates

Take your kids on a pirate adventure with the Urban Pirates at National Harbor. The kiddos will get a crash course on how to be the best outlaw of the seas that they can be. They'll love fighting enemies with water cannons, dealing with the wild seas, and finding hidden treasures! Urban Pirates opens in April and stays open all summer long.
Peeps & Company
