Ricardo A. • August 25, 2018awesome place to enjoy a show with a great view. a must!!

Ана Л. • February 17, 2017Between sections are little garden spots with fountains, ideal to make a stop and soak the atmosphere. One of the most beautiful museums in the 🌎.

Katie T. • September 30, 2017Excellent museum and a lot to take in. You will need at least 2 days to see everything.

Amy C. • March 3, 2018Really cool movie theater! There’s a bar in front, and their popcorn is amazing.

Isabelle R. • January 30, 2014It's a Respectful place for remember our Heros! Super awesome!

Tom N. • December 23, 2016I have been going to Washington for 40 years and just visited for the first time. What a great place to visit with so many interesting exhibits! Definitely will go back again!

Pamela W. • November 2, 2018This place was awesome. Problem is you cannot get through the whole museum in one day. Plan to go at least 2 days. Too much to see and read.

The Traveler • March 18, 2019This museum is fantastic, kids will absolutely love it and adults too. Allow at minimum 2 hours to walk through and see the exhibits. And don’t forget there’s a line to get in so allow time for that

Mark B. • June 26, 2015Fantastic museum. Free to the public. Lots of oils, water colors and sculptures from lots of the Masters.Great collection in beautiful setting. Can be a maze so definitely take a map or the audio tour

L K. • January 28, 2017Magnificent collection of both modern art and portraits. The variety of styles, people, and stories makes for an excellent museum day.

Antonello L. • June 12, 2016Great space for plays. Feels more intimate than its actual size

Mini T. • July 29, 2018Great venue and awesome service from the people who work there. They even offers vegan options like this vegan chili dog at their concession stands! Your sure to have an amazing concert experience

Melissa G. • December 21, 2016Really cool place for a show. Try to get there early for the upstairs stools. Overall, very fun! Bathrooms were also very clean (at least early on).

Chrisi W. • June 13, 2011Great little theater! A little warm inside though so be prepared to shed a layer in the summer!

Ting • February 25, 2016If u have to choose either this or the IMAX shows, no doubt this should be it. Free educational screening on stars and planets on selected mornings at 10.30am. Totally worth the ticket price. Amazing!

Christine L. • March 18, 2017Try to go early. It gets pretty packed in the afternoon. Great exhibits. My faves were Exploring the Planets, Amelia Earhart, and the one w/ the ISS.

Vesper A. • January 2, 2017Great theater and not overwhelmingly large, and a wonderful selection of smaller films. It has parking and metro access as well as food and alcohol selection.

Angie H. • September 22, 2014Somewhat off of the beaten path and so less crowded. Like a combination of aquarium and jungle exhibit.

Steven P. • May 15, 2011Amazing space. The new building is awe inspiring!

Lynn R. • January 14, 2011Gift shop is amazing....Great chackas for history buffs....or parents, grand-parents!

Sarah K. • March 2, 2013Can't complain about the food! Nice selection of international cuisine (and more "American" things). Great for a brunch or lunch in a nice space, thought it could very well be loud when busy.

Harjit • April 24, 2013It can get pretty warm in here. Nice exhibits but the animals are scarce and hard to find.

Michelle P. • October 8, 2017Beautiful theatre, seating a little tight though. Dave Chappell show--he was on point as expected, laughed the whole time. Opening act was excellent.

Camille W. • March 7, 2015A hidden gem. Very gorgeous with a cool modern art section.

Thompson Hotels • June 14, 2011Our concierge Clay at Donovan House recommends the Albert Einstein Memorial to our guests for a great photo opportunity.

looshka v. • April 22, 2011Very friendly administration and really gorgeous gardens!!! Enjoy and you'll definetely be back!

Morgan H. • February 26, 2014This was an amazing experience! So much fun. Clive, Nate and Rubin went above and beyond to ensure that we had an enjoyable time. So stoked to bring our paintings home.

Brian W. • January 5, 2016Beautiful theater. We had the absolute last row in the balcony, and the view was still great.

John N. • April 1, 2014Small but lovely museum, and blissfully uncrowded compared to most others. Signs do a better job of telling you what you're looking at than museums with more familiar subjects.

Jill J. • January 28, 2011Visitor information desk, gift shop, and audio guides located in this hallway.
