Hey everyone welcome to Hipfig's

Washington DC series. Today we're going

to talk about the Smithsonian Castle.

This video contains information about

how to get to the Smithsonian, what to do

once you're at the Smithsonian Castle,

and how to make the most of your time at

the Smithsonian Castle. The best way to

get to the Castle is by the DC metrorail.

Take the blue or orange line

exit at the Smithsonian station and take

the Mall exit and then walk to the

castle. If you're in the National Mall

area but too far to walk to the Castle

take the DC Circulator bus. it's cheap and

convenient and drops you off close to

the Castle entrance.

Admission is free and open from 830am

to 5:30pm daily except on Christmas Day.

The Smithsonian castle is primarily used

for administrative purposes and to house

the Smithsonian Information Center

during your visit to the Castle, you can work with

volunteers and interactive tools that help you

plan your Smithsonian visit

you can also take a tour of the history

and architecture of the castle also free

Wi-Fi is available

my favorite part is not the actual

building but if you go behind it to the

garden. It is a serene and great place to

sit outside. The Enid A. Haupf Gardens is is a public

garden in the Smithsonian complex. it

covers over four acres and is situated between the Castle

and Independence Avenue. And

is a welcome respite for Smithsonian

visitors and residents of Washington. You

can also see the FBI building across the

way. You can walk around the brick path,

admire the hanging gardens, and the

fountains, also sit quietly in the nice

park benches. it's a great place to have

a picnic in the afternoon
