From Arlo, you can reach the Mall in about 10 to 15 minutes by taxi or via an easy Metro ride, making it simple to spend a few hours inside without worrying about the cold. The <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalhistory.si.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Museum of Natural History<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.edu\/museums\/air-and-space-museum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Air and Space Museum<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.edu\/museums\/portrait-gallery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Portrait Gallery<\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.edu\/museums\/african-american-museum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Museum of African American History and Culture<\/a>, are all free to enter and close enough to one another to visit more than one in a single outing. Winter crowds are lighter, making popular exhibits easier to navigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-national-archives-museum\">National Archives Museum<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/visit.archives.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The National Archives Museum<\/a> is another gem and the home of the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights. It&#8217;s an easy trip from Arlo by Metro or a short taxi ride, usually under 10 minutes. Winter visits tend to be calmer, giving you more time to view the Rotunda displays at a comfortable pace. It\u2019s also close enough to the National Mall to combine with other museums in the same afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-united-states-holocaust-memorial-museum\">United States Holocaust Memorial Museum<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ushmm.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Holocaust Memorial Museum<\/a> is about a 10 to 15-minute ride from Arlo by metro or taxi. Visiting in winter often makes it easier to secure timed-entry passes. Most of the exhibits are indoors, so it\u2019s comfortable even on colder days, and after touring, you can take a quiet walk along the Mall if the weather allows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ford-s-theatre\">Ford\u2019s Theatre<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/foth\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ford\u2019s Theatre<\/a> is closer to Arlo than many visitors expect, making it an easy addition to a winter itinerary.
