New Museum of Contemporary Art
Rising above the neighborhood, the New Museum of Contemporary Art is a sight to behold: a seven-story stack of off-kilter, white, ethereal boxes designed by Tokyo-based architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa of SANAA and the New York–based firm Gensler. It was a long-awaited b

Steven F Udvar
The National Air & Space Museum is so awesome they made an attic for it: the Steven F Udvar-Hazy Center. Highlights include the SR-71 Blackbird (the worlds fastest jet), space shuttle Enterprise and the Enola Gay (the B-29 that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima). Visitors ca

New York
Revenge of the Mummy (Express Pass) combines roller-coaster speed and twists with in-your-face special effects. Head deep into ancient Egyptian catacombs in near pitch black, but dont anger Imhotep the mummy – in his wrath he flings you past fire, water and more. The walk-through a

National Museum of Health and Medicine
Macabre exhibits galore pack this Department of Defense–run museum. The stomach-shaped hairball leaves a lasting impression (a 12-year-old girl ate THAT?), as does the megacolon (use your imagination). The showpiece is the bullet that killed Abraham Lincoln, encased alongside bits
-
DEA Museum
The propaganda is served up with nary a chuckle at this heavy-handed museum brought to you by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). Exhibits cover the last century-and-a-half of drug use, from the opium parlors of the 19th century, to 1920s cocaine-dispensing apothecaries, onto the tr

Lapakahi State Historical Park
This park was a remote fishing village 600 years ago. An unshaded, 1-mile loop trail traverses the 262-acre grounds, passing the remains of stone walls, house sites, canoe sheds and fishing shrines. Visitors can try their hand at Hawaiian games, with game pieces and instructions la

Golden Gate
A gambling hall and hotel have stood on the corner of Fremont and Main Sts since 1906, just one year after the whistlestop railway town of Las Vegas began. But it didnt turn into the Golden Gate casino hotel until 1955, when a troupe of Italian-Americans from San Francisco decamped
-
Scottish Rite Temple
The regional headquarters of the Scottish Rite Freemasons, also known as the House of the Temple, is one of the most eye-catching buildings in the District. That’s because it looks like a magic temple lifted out of a comic book, all the more incredible for basically sitting amid a

Buckhorn Saloon & Museum
Waaaay back in 1881, when the original Buckhorn Saloon opened up, the owner promised patrons a free beer or whiskey shot for every pair of deer antlers they brought. Although the location has changed a couple of times, you can still see the collection – and the bar – at the Buckhor

Hollywood Sign
LA’s most famous landmark first appeared in the hills in 1923 as an advertising gimmick for a real-estate development called ‘Hollywoodland’. Each letter is 50ft tall and made of sheet metal. Once aglow with 4000 light bulbs, the sign even had its own caretaker who lived behind the

Point Fermin Park & Around
Locals come to this grassy community park on the bluffs to jog, picnic, watch wind- and kitesurfers, cool off in the shade of spreading magnolias, wonder at never-ending waves pounding a rugged crescent coastline or enjoy live jazz on balmy summer Sundays. Ostensibly the main visit
