Everytime I am at this airport, I aways check out this store. I love the Smithsonian and what it stands for. I spent a lot of my childhood at the many Smithsonian museums and owe a lot of my childhood education to this institution. They have great items for sale here and all the income from the sales generated here supports the educational purposes and activities of the Smithsonian Institution. Definitely come support this place, take home some fun items and you're supporting a great cause!

A lot of great and cheaply discounted books dealing with business management, learning languages, human rights, history, etc. Not your average bookstore! Note: You won't find the latest novel that's being adapted into a movie here. I happened to find a tiny book about DC that I had been wanting to buy for a roughly a year. When I saw it on the shelf and discounted for only $5, I knew I had to have it! The staff was very friendly and let me know that I happened to snag the last copy too! Overall, it's a great bookstore for interesting finds! Definitely popping by every once in awhile.

I have to admit that Union Station in D.C. is really the main train station I know well. I've spent…read morequite a bit of time at Denver Union Station, but never actually to catch a train, and the other major station I can compare it to is Penn Station in New York City. Obviously, Penn Station handles a completely different volume of people, so it's not exactly a fair comparison, but every time I travel through Union Station I'm impressed by how easy it is. First, there is SO much room. Even when it's busy, I rarely feel like I'm fighting for space. It's consistently clean, it's easy to navigate, and the communication around where trains are and where you need to go is clear. I also love that they actually use all that space. There are sometimes little markets in the huge open area toward the front, and there's also a room off to the side that doesn't have a restaurant or anything in it, but people seem to use it as a quieter place to sit. It's just more space, which is something I really appreciate in a train station. The food options are also surprisingly good in terms of variety. You can have a sit-down meal upstairs, grab something reasonably priced and fast-casual on the main level, or head downstairs for the cheaper fast-food options. There's even a post office, which is incredibly convenient if you need to get an errand done before leaving town or while you're passing through. Overall, I'm always impressed by Union Station. It's spacious, clean, efficient, easy to understand, and has enough food and other amenities that you can actually spend some time there comfortably before your train. As someone who really appreciates not feeling crammed into a train station, the amount of space might be my favorite part.

I'm updating my review since Union Station has been making an effort to make some changes. But, I'm…read morenot giving up other malls or restaurants. I had a good time visiting lots of stores during the day. I always use a cross body bag whenever I'm downtown. When I use the red line at night, I take Chinatown's metro stop. The streets are well lit and I have less unsavory characters to deal with. The police have a presence at Capital One Arena and the convention center. There are new businesses on the Mezzanine level that are interesting. A case study is whether Wolfgang Puck's Bar & Bites will stay. A pop art installation has replaced Ann Taylor on the mezzanine level. The space that housed Victoria's Secret is still empty (rip). My Swatch store (rip) is where Amtrak passengers wait for trains. H&M is now on the lower level (where Borders Books was located). Walgreens is hanging in there too. Chipotle is always a favorite (but the 4th St location is closer). The main hall is a beautiful event space. All that marble floor used to have benches where DMV residents & visitors could sit and visit. It is one of the reasons I don't hang out inside that gorgeous building as often. Most of the seating is gone. The Amtrak gates are just gates. All of the seating was removed after homeless people caused injury to Amtrak employees. Union Station is beautiful. We used to visit more often. I loved trying items in the food court. The vendors change over more frequently. Wendy's is gone. Taco Bell is hanging in there. Raising Cane's is there (as of 9/26). We attended the grand opening of Halal Guys. I'm happy they are still in business. The "suggested rule" for dining in the food court area is staying for 30 minutes. I have never been asked to leave when visiting with friends but we're usually in Chinatown where places are open after 8pm. The food court shuts down promptly at 8pm. If you are lingering after that time, all the other tables and chairs have been stacked and moved. Wok a Holic was a disappointment but meat eaters can find a dish (just don't order fried rice). Unos was a big loss (rip). We loved having pizza or pasta and two floors of places to dine. The main purpose for visiting Union Station is taking Metro, Amtrak, a bus or the Marc Train. The loss of the Circulator buses is another reason I don't visit frequently. Enterprise Car Rental has taken over dozens of spaces in the parking garage. The expansion project fell apart & was halted. The Postal Museum is across the street and worth a visit. If you park in Union Station you can still get a few dollars off of your parking by validating your ticket at the bus entrance level.

I give this museum an absolute 10/10 and must see attraction! Make sure to reserve your tickets in advance as well because it is constantly packed and I see why now! There are multiple floors to experience and check out from the many airplanes and air crafts to the solar system and fun facts about famous people in history that brought our nation's aircraft's to life. They even have an IMAX theatre and food options too, along with a plethora of items at their gift shop. I would recommend spending a couple hours here minimum because there is so much to see!

Before you go, make sure you go to the Smithsonian website and book your free ticket and time/ date slot in advance otherwise you will not be able to visit as you need to have your tickets in advance before entering. It's super easy as they send them to your phone and email. All ages love this museum and the gift shop has the coolest souvenirs ! There is a place on the bottom floor for Mommys and small children to have some quiet time for feeding or naps as well as cafes . Employees were super friendly and so knowledgeable! They were the best out of all the museums . FYI: You can bring strollers and they have elevators for all floors. ** there are food truck and souvenir trucks in front of museum entrance if you want street food as well. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do !
