Washington D.C. is a very popular place for our student groups to visit, though sometimes the food choices here may seem quite un-friendly for the kiddos.
Between expensive pubs, historic eateries, and politician-filled restaurants, you may be scratching your head wondering where you can take your group to eat that is both kid-friendly and cheap.
Believe it or not, there are actually quite a few restaurants in Washington D.C. offering up various 'Kids Eat Free' deals throughout the week and weekend. These eateries offer either great deals, excellent kid-friendly food choices, or fun kid bonuses during the dining experience, or maybe a mix of them all, all for one great 'kids eat free' price!
