SW Wisconsin | I interned on Capitol Hill one semester in college. Early March is fine, mid-late March is the worst. January/February is good (I.e. walk in anywhere you want without lines vs. wait hours).
General tips: contact your congressman, tell them you’re planning a trip to DC. They will schedule a personal tour of the capitol, possibly a tour of the White House. They will also send you a packet with information on all the zoos, memorials, museums, etc. Slim chance you’ll actually get to meet your congressman, but possible. In general even if you forget to contact them first you’ll likely get a capitol tour if you stop by the office and ask. I didn’t spend a lot of time on tourist stuff, but there is a ton of stuff to see. Just the Smithsonian is the better part of both sides of the mall, which if I recall correctly is over a mile long from the Lincoln Memorial to the Capitol. One thing I did enjoy was Monticello. It’s quite a ways out of town, but worth the trip if you can make it. | |
