Planet Word Museum has become a favorite DC museum for our family. Planet Word will inspire and renew a love of words, language, and reading in people of all ages. Through unique, immersive learning experiences, they provide a space to explore words and language that is grounded in a solid understanding of language arts and science. You can read about the current exhibits here. See our sneak peek above which we also posted on Instagram. A few of our families favorite parts of the museum are the magical library, karaoke for one of my Bambinos, and the humor gallery for another Bambino. There is a 22-foot-tall wall of words called Where Do Words Come From? which dives into the story of the English language as well as the origin of many of the most commonly used words which I watched over and over.
At Planet Word, they strive to make the museum experience with 6 core values:
Hours: Thursday-Sunday 10:00am-5:00pm
