Visit SEEC

Come see what we do.

The best way to understand SEEC is to see it in motion. We schedule tours during the school day, so you can watch our educators at work, walk the galleries we use every morning, and get a real feel for what your child's day would look like.

Getting here.

By Metro

The Smithsonian and Federal Triangle stations are each a short walk from both museums. The Archives-Navy Memorial station is also close by.

By car

Street parking near the National Mall is scarce. Paid garages sit within a few blocks of both museums, so plan for a short walk from wherever you park. At dropoff, children should exit the car on the curb side rather than the street side.

With a stroller

Bring the stroller. The walk from Metro is flat and stroller friendly, and strollers are welcome inside both museums.

Daily arrival, once you enroll

Families arrive through a dedicated entrance at each museum. Your tour confirmation and welcome packet include exact arrival instructions, and the morning routine becomes quick and familiar within days.
