Chevy Chase has been around a long time, but from the friendly and helpful staff to the cozy outdoor space, age is irrelevant.

This next D.C. public library, located near the Friendship Heights Station on the Red Line, hosts the Story Time series, with regular time slots for pre-crawlers, one-year-old babies, toddlers from 18-36 months and 3 to 5-year-old kiddos. There are also several movie-oriented activities, as well as a kid’s chess club designed for older children. The library is always putting on different events for kids so it's worth checking out their website before you take a trip there to see what they are offering.

Chevy Chase Playground is just a ten-minute walk, so grab sandwiches and salads a couple of steps away at Jetties Chevy Chase for a picnic lunch at a wonderful park. If you would prefer to play inside, Busybees is about a fifteen minute walk from the library and younger kids always love playing there.
