If you are ever going to be near Dulles airport I highly recommend doing the NWS tour. They have a well organized/rehearsed tour and put up with all sorts of questions. At the end of the tour they launch a balloon. I imagine other NWS forecast centers have similar tours.

Yes they do. My local center will give a tour to a group of 6 or more. I haven't put a group together yet, but it's on my list.
