Hey everyone welcome to Hipfig's
Washington DC series. Today we're going
to talk about the Smithsonian Castle.
This video contains information about
how to get to the Smithsonian, what to do
once you're at the Smithsonian Castle,
and how to make the most of your time at
the Smithsonian Castle. The best way to
get to the Castle is by the DC metrorail.
Take the blue or orange line
exit at the Smithsonian station and take
the Mall exit and then walk to the
castle. If you're in the National Mall
area but too far to walk to the Castle
take the DC Circulator bus. it's cheap and
convenient and drops you off close to
the Castle entrance.
Admission is free and open from 830am
to 5:30pm daily except on Christmas Day.
The Smithsonian castle is primarily used
for administrative purposes and to house
the Smithsonian Information Center
during your visit to the Castle, you can work with
volunteers and interactive tools that help you
plan your Smithsonian visit
you can also take a tour of the history
and architecture of the castle also free
Wi-Fi is available
my favorite part is not the actual
building but if you go behind it to the
garden. It is a serene and great place to
sit outside. The Enid A. Haupf Gardens is is a public
garden in the Smithsonian complex. it
covers over four acres and is situated between the Castle
and Independence Avenue. And
is a welcome respite for Smithsonian
visitors and residents of Washington. You
can also see the FBI building across the
way. You can walk around the brick path,
admire the hanging gardens, and the
fountains, also sit quietly in the nice
park benches. it's a great place to have
a picnic in the afternoon
