Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the Pride Ride? My niece is 12 and I think she’d love this!

A: Great question, Mike! There’s no strict age limit, but children under 16 should be accompanied by an adult. The ride itself is really informative and enjoyable, so I think your niece would have a blast! Just make sure she’s okay with being in a group setting and learning about some historical topics.

Q: What should I wear for the ride? Is it mostly outdoors?

A: Hey there! The ride is mostly open-air, so I'd recommend wearing something comfortable and weather-appropriate. If it's sunny, definitely bring sunglasses and maybe a hat. If it’s chilly, a light jacket should do. Just keep in mind that you’ll be cruising around the National Mall, so you wanna be stylish yet comfy!

Q: Can I reschedule if something comes up? How flexible are they with dates?

A: Yes, you can absolutely reschedule! They usually allow changes up to 48 hours before your tour. Just reach out to the provider directly, and they'll help you find a new date that works. It’s really nice of them to be flexible like that.

Super excited for the Pride Ride!

I just booked the Washington Private Pride Ride for me and my partner! We’re both really into history and love learning about LGBTQIA+ advocacy. I can't wait to see the Smithsonian and the National Gallery. Has anyone seen the artworks by LGBTQIA+ artists mentioned? What were your thoughts? Any tips for first-timers?
