If you’re looking for something weird to do, this is your spot :) The Secret Door Tour is perhaps one of the strangest (and wonderful) self-guided tours I’ve done in DC. The museum is made up of 5 interconnected townhouses, with over 100 rooms and 70 secret doors— see if you can find them all!

For an "in the city" nature hike, I recommend visiting Rock Creek Park. There are lots of great walks, and you can use this map to pick your own hike: https://www.nps.gov/rocr/planyourvisit/upload/FINAL-Highlighted-Hikes-in-ROCR-2018.pdf
