With Halloween in the rear-view mirror in DC, we're barreling full tilt toward the holidays.

Naturally, that means dinosaurs. And camels. Eventually, maybe even turkeys. Meanwhile, Reston is sharpening up ice skating blades, Vienna's Winter Walk of Lights is powering on, and Ice & Lights and Zoo Lights are back this season, too. The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is virtual for everyone this year.

If you're planning to hibernate at home, we've got plenty of virtual events to share, including an online confab with Santa.

Read on for all our top picks for things to do in Washington, DC this November with kids.

While we try to promote safe activities that occur outdoors or with social distancing guidelines in place, please keep your family and others safe by wearing a mask and maintaining appropriate distance. If you arrive at an event that appears too crowded, try using the “nearby” search feature on our event calendar to find something else to do.
