5 Fun Things to Do With Your Kids Around DC This Summer
Does the “giraffe cam” of April and her baby giraffe—born at an animal park in New York—have you or your kids itching to get up close to one of the lanky, lithe creatures? With giraffes no longer at the National Zoo, head to Roer’s. The new owners of what was once the Reston Zoo have made it a cleaner, kinder experience (after former management was prosecuted for animal cruelty), complete with the opportunity to feed Waffles the giraffe, feed a camel, and take an open bus ride for other animal encounters. Kids love the free-flight aviary, home to colorful, gentle budgies. 1228 Hunter Mill Rd., Vienna; 703-757-6222. $15 adults, $10 ages 2 to 12.
