Fun at NHD

NHD is a contest, so the competition is important. But NHD is also a time to meet new people, explore new places, learn new things, and have fun! You should plan to spend some time in Washington, D.C. during NHD.

The 2023 NHD Explore Activities Guide offers options for things like free museum passes, outdoor activities, etc. Please note that some of these opportunities require reservations, which fill up quickly!
