Crime & Punishment & Union Station
Washington, D.C.
Your Washington, D.C. day trip begins with a visit to the
National Museum of Crime & Punishment. The museum dissects both the
overarching concept of crime and the dark side of the criminal mind; explores
the techniques and methodologies employed by law enforcement agencies and the
government to investigate and often solve crimes; and through intensely
interactive and highly-personalized scenarios, simulates the consequences
associated with punishment, incarceration and rehabilitation. Five unique and
distinct galleries burrow deep into the studies of criminal intent, criminal
profiles, serial killers, issues associated with crime, the prison system,
victims, crime prevention and more. A lunch voucher is included at
Union Station, Washington, D.C.’s historic train station which houses
numerous tourist shops and an upscale shopping mall. We conclude our day with a
drive around our nation’s capital to view the Monuments and Memorials.
Note: Photo-stops will be allowed if the traffic and weather conditions
permit.
