One of the coolest places in Washington, D.C. by far. ADMISSION IS FREE, too. I do recommend wearing a T-shirt and shorts (if you get warm easily) because the building does tend to get very humid (to match the plants native habitats.) Also, across the street is a park that is also maintained by the United States Botanical Garden staff. The Gardens are also close to the U.S. Capitol and The Library of Congress.
