Default Air & Space Museum

I'm going to be in Washington for a few days next month. I have
limited time and would like some opinions re the two Air & Space Museum
sites -- at the Mall vs at Dulles. Since I won't have time to do both
sites, which would be the better. We will have a couple of kids with us
also.
Thanks for any input.

If you want to see aircraft and spacecraft themselves, go to Dulles.
The Mall is space constrained and only has a few "name" artifiacts
like the Spirit of St. Louis, the dubious Wright Flyer, and Spaceship
One, for example. Lots of more "canned exhibits" like how things fly
and a pretty good remote sensing gallery.
