- What’s open in DC during the 2025 government shutdown? Here’s my real one‑day route: Metro to Smithsonian, Washington Monument (interior closed, ranger shop open with passport stamps), WWII Memorial, Reflecting Pool, Lincoln Memorial, Constitution Gardens, free People’s House museum at 1700 Penn, White House view at 1600 Penn, National Museum of Women in the Arts, lunch in Chinatown, and the International Spy Museum.
