Since its ground-breaking appearance in 1958, Going Places With Children has established a reputation as the premier guide for families to the Capital region. Others have entered the market, but this is the real, home-grown perspective that boilerplate guides just can’t offer. Besides, it’s the product of Green Acres School, a progressive school in Rockville, Maryland, whose students provide not only the charming illustrations, but the inspiration to celebrate the fun and learning available to residents of our area.

Areas covered include:
     • Main Sights in Washington, Maryland and Virginia
     • The Great Outdoors
     • Arts and Entertainment
     • Indoor Recreation
     • Day Trips
     • Field Trips

Helpful touches in this edition include graphic symbols that help the reader pinpoint free attractions, editors’ choice, new listings, handicapped-accessible sites and much more. And special indexes highlight places appropriate for preschoolers and of special interest to teenagers as well as categories such as railroads, equestrian and fishing.
