When you think about destinations for family fun, attractions such as Disneyland often come to mind. Did you know that plenty of spots for family entertainment exist in and around Woodbridge, Virginia? Discover some of the best family-friendly attractions in the area.

Artechouse DC

Explore art and technology coming together to create extraordinary digital illuminations at Artechouse DC. The venue is unlike anything you’ve experienced before, with immersive multisensory art spaces and technology-driven exhibitions to delight families.

Opening on Jan. 15 and running through March 5, the new Intangible Forms digital art exhibition will blur the lines between reality and fantasy and what it means to be human. The Artechouse website describes the experience: “Powered by choreographed kinetic lasers, strobes, haze, and moving lights, this multisensory exhibition is dramatic, visceral, and operatic in nature. Throughout multiple rooms of installations, intentional minimalism and repetitive, modular rhythms create a hypnotic, entrancing environment where the intangible can become tangible.” Intangible Forms is the work of Japanese multimedia artist Shohei Fujimoto.

Guests must purchase timed admission tickets for entry to Artechouse DC. Viewing sessions are scheduled every 30 minutes from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily; each session lasts approximately 60 minutes.
