National Museum of the Marine Corps

 
The museum is best for kids 7 and up. They do have some activities for little kids such as coloring, fishing for wooden fish and trying on costumes.  There is a place where one parent can color or read with a little kid while the other parent looks around.  This museum is awesome! You don't just look at pictures and exhibits in cases, you walk through a scene that tries to make it like you are really there. There are light and sound effects too.  In the Korea area it is cold.  For $5.00 you can shoot a laser gun and if you get all 10 shots in the center you get a medal!!!!!
