Quite a bit of walking (from one museum to the other) so ramp up your home treadmill to get in shape and wear comfortable shoes. I recommend an early tour so you can spend more time at the air & space museum; the afternoon tour limited our time there due to the time the museum closes. Great tour, Sky did an excellent job!
