And be sure to check out the nearby Growing Tomorrow garden exhibition about food for the future. Location: Find us in the Food Garden on the east side of the National Museum of American History, near 12 th Street, NW. About Garden Play Garden Play is designed for children ages two and up and their caregivers and families. Activities are designed with early learners in mind, but children of all ages are welcome. Parents and guardians must remain with their children. Please come prepared for an outdoor experience. Wildlife and insects, including bees and mosquitoes, are a part of our gardens. Participants are encouraged to bring water, sun protection, their own snacks, and are welcome to bring their own blankets for story time. Activities may be subject to cancellation or modification due to weather conditions. (A little rain won’t keep us away, but we will cancel in case of a heavy downpour or thunderstorm!)
