DC's Capitol Riverfront scores with pro baseball, riverside parks and so much more.
Nationals games are a wonderful family-friendly experience. There's nothing like the national pastime in the nation's capital. For example: during the fourth inning, six jumbo-headed mascots costumed as U.S. presidents zip around the field in a comical-yet-competitive foot race (yes, there’s some cheating). Nats games are a hot ticket in DC, so make sure to score your exclusive discount and save big.

On nearly six riverfront acres between 2nd and 5th streets SE, this modern park rests beautifully alongside the Anacostia River, sporting plenty of places to relax, including an elevated overlook of the river. Kids will love the 11-inch deep “canal” and the park’s waterfall, and everyone can admire the impressive, light-adorned, ringed bridge that serves as The Yards’ centerpiece. The park also hosts a Friday night concert series throughout the summer.
The 17,000-square-foot District Winery is home to a sleek winery and Ana, a new American restaurant specializing in unique dishes like Maryland crab beignets, a veggie-stuffed shawarma with carrot hummus and pastrami-spiced monkfish. Tours of the glass-enclosed winery include a trip to the tasting bar, where guests can enjoy a flight of five wines. At Ana, there’s space for 50-plus diners indoors, or take your meal riverside on the adjoining patio with seating for more than 80. A number of its pours were produced specifically for DC at Brooklyn Winery, although District Winery has begun serving its first made-in-DC wine: the 2017 dry rosé.
A rotating menu of 25 made-here beers (including five English cask styles, which are served at room temperature) headlines at this jumbo, industrial-cool American restaurant and brewpub. Housed in a former munitions factory-turned-neighborhood brewery, Bluejacket offers brew-tasting tours as well as distinctive takes on classic bar food at its in-house restaurant, The Arsenal. The grub is as varied as the suds – hearty entree salads, charcuterie and seafood.

With live music, a wealth of beer and food options and a happy-go-lucky pregame crowd, The Bullpen is an ideal "home base" before watching one of Major League Baseball’s most exciting teams take the field.

The outdoor venue also puts of plenty of concerts, complete with pre-show happy hours.
Skate rentals and a rocking soundtrack make this wintertime, racetrack-like ice rink popular with kids and locals – it's one of our favorite places to ice skate in the District.
