Suggestions for Arts and Entertainment near Washington

Francisco R. • June 18, 2018Great spacious venue. Lots of bars with reasonable wait times. They sell food! I went on a late spring night and it was a bit hot, could use some fans or stronger AC. Overall, a great experience.

Ting • February 25, 2016If u have to choose either this or the IMAX shows, no doubt this should be it. Free educational screening on stars and planets on selected mornings at 10.30am. Totally worth the ticket price. Amazing!
