National Harbor, Maryland, isn’t just a paw-some hub for waterfront views and dining—it’s also a destination that’s otter-ly designed with families in mind! While exploring the whimsical sculptures along the American Way Outdoor Park, keep an eye out for Potomac Play Place, a charming spot where kids can climb, explore, and let their imaginations soar. It’s the purr-fect pit stop for little ones to burn off some energy—or for grown-ups to snag some bear-y cute selfies.
The play area features a zoo-per fun menagerie of fiberglass animals scattered across an astroturf lawn. Kids can hop on a frog, roar with a lion, hang with a monkey in a tree, or even make friends with a pig, bear, dog, or cat. With plenty of benches nearby, adults can sit back and relax while the kiddos enjoy the un-frog-ettable fun.
