The Smithsonian Air & Space Museum in Washington DC books up quickly. Turns out that if you want same day tickets, you have to go to this site & at 8:30AM hit F5 F5 F5... until they allow you to grab tickets.
They're free but they get distributed fast.

Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington DC. I could spend all day here.
Remember the Eastern Airlines bankruptcy? Western Airlines... "the onnnly way to fly"? Southwest Airlines plastic group boarding passes? The Pan American Airlines 747 upper stairs experience?
@fuzzface @denise I think I did see that! We had to haul ass thru the museum because I had to get back at midday for some concalls but I saw several satellites on display.
Absolutely nerded out there. Made me a little sad that there were nuances that folks just sorta passed over like how the floors showed LEO, MEO & GEO orbits from the digital earth display.
But I loved how they had "LOOK UP!" indicators on the displays to let you know there was something awesome hanging above your head. 😁
