One of Washington DC’s best little secret, especially during
the hot summer, is the Sculpture Gardens.
If you have the family out exploring “The Mall” area you need to stop by
and explore the Sculpture Gardens. The
abstract sculptures that make up this garden are entertaining and fascinating
as it is all set in a very European setting with gardens and long path
ways. And in the middle of everything
there is a huge fountain that you are able to cool off by putting your feet
in. The whole scene looks like it comes
directly from Paris. There is a little
bistro café with beautiful outdoor seating and it is a tossup if the fountain
or all of the sculptures are the main attraction!
This is a great place to come and bring the children to
enjoy looking at larger than life pieces of art as well as letting them enjoy
splashing around in the fountain. The
Sculpture Garden is hidden behind gates and it is almost as if nothing was
there until you go in. It is located
down the street from the Natural History Museum. It is hard to bring children to an art
museum, so this is the perfect setting because it is outside where they can run
around, the art is so big and exciting that it intrigues even a toddler and if
all else fails; the fountain is a great place for them to splash around and
cool off. On top of the good
entertainment value for children it is so spread out and enclosed that it makes
a very relaxing setting for someone opening up a book or getting a coffee.
