where can I take my 6 month old?

I'm looking for ideas of place to take my 6-month old for some indoor fun. I'm counting down the days to spring, but until then, I have no idea what to do with him. DH and I would like to take him somewhere on weekends, b/c he's at the age now where he's just grabbing and exploring everything, and I know he's getting bored at home!

I live in NoVa and I would prefer somewhere with relatively easy parking options. I'm thinking things like children's museums or places where he can touch things and move around a bit? But it all seems to be geared towards toddlers and up.

Any ideas? TIA.

    At that age I used to take DD to story time at the library. They would do lots of fingerplays, songs with movement ,and have toys for the little ones to play with along with stories.

    What about a class at Gymboree, My Gym, Little Gym, etc?  Also see if your parks & recs department has something.

    Ditto on storytime at the library.

    Barnes and Noble in Clarendon has a storyhour on Wednesday mornings also.

    We are going a little stir crazy also! Come on spring!

    Are you talking about weekend activities? The American History museum (Smithsonian) has a room dedicated to kids, and a small part of it has toys that babies could play with. Parking wouldn't be a problem if you took.the metro, which is super easy.

    we've been meaning to take Sprout to the air & space museum out by dulles. while I don't think he'll get a ton out of it (obviously), he looooooooves looking at people and new things. So, I think he'd enjoy.

    We're going to try Stroller Strides... there are groups in NoVA, MD, and DC. During cold weather, they meet at local malls.

    We did a lot of "toddler" type things while DD was 5-9 months.  She often just enjoyed watching the older kids and doing whatever we suggested.  Granted, it was summer then, so we loved just getting outside. 

    We just went to the Be With Me Playseum in Bethesda (there was plenty of three hour parking on a Saturday).  And while it was crazy, because it was a Saturday, I could see it being quieter during the week or first thing in the morning.  It's a used book store (so there are tons of books to read) and lot's of little adventure rooms.  It was really reasonable priced too ($6 per person, for everyone).
