While this landmark is popular all-year-round, it celebrates the season with a special Christmas tree. The tradition dates back decades, but this year\u2019s selection comes from Colorado. Tell your kids a little bit about the tradition before you leave, like how the Capitol purchased its first tree over 100 years ago. Then catch it lit up and on display from early December through the New Year! Families should make sure they take the opportunity to check it out while in DC, because it\u2019s definitely a sight to behold with the U.S. Capitol in the background. Visit at sunset for an even more spectacular view! If you\u2019re hungry afterward, the food court at Union Station to the North or Eastern Market to the South may be your best bet to grab a warm beverage or snack in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover is-light\" style=\"min-height:134px\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim\"><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-26542 lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/familieslovetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Seven-Springs-Washington-DC-KIDS-SKI.jpg\" style=\"object-position:51% 33%\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" data-object-position=\"51% 33%\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/b1561555.smushcdn.com\/1561555\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Seven-Springs-Washington-DC-KIDS-SKI.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1000w, https:\/\/b1561555.smushcdn.com\/1561555\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Seven-Springs-Washington-DC-KIDS-SKI-300x200.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 300w, https:\/\/b1561555.smushcdn.com\/1561555\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Seven-Springs-Washington-DC-KIDS-SKI-768x512.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 768w, https:\/\/b1561555.smushcdn.com\/1561555\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Seven-Springs-Washington-DC-KIDS-SKI-500x334.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 500w, https:\/\/b1561555.smushcdn.com\/1561555\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Seven-Springs-Washington-DC-KIDS-SKI-600x400.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-26542\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/familieslovetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Seven-Springs-Washington-DC-KIDS-SKI.jpg\" style=\"object-position:51% 33%\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" data-object-position=\"51% 33%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/b1561555.smushcdn.com\/1561555\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Seven-Springs-Washington-DC-KIDS-SKI.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1000w, https:\/\/b1561555.smushcdn.com\/1561555\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Seven-Springs-Washington-DC-KIDS-SKI-300x200.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 300w, https:\/\/b1561555.smushcdn.com\/1561555\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Seven-Springs-Washington-DC-KIDS-SKI-768x512.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 768w, https:\/\/b1561555.smushcdn.com\/1561555\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Seven-Springs-Washington-DC-KIDS-SKI-500x334.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 500w, https:\/\/b1561555.smushcdn.com\/1561555\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Seven-Springs-Washington-DC-KIDS-SKI-600x400.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/noscript><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-very-light-gray-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:30px\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/familieslovetravel.com\/skiing-near-dc-kids\/\">Find Where to Ski near DC with Kids.
