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

Chris H. • July 19, 2010Highly reccomend: Passing Strange. Pretty fantastic musical and I'm not a big "musical" person.

Stephen C. • August 31, 2018Curators and keepers are super nice. Be sure to meet the wallabies, Geoffrey's marmosets, and coatis out back!

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

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.

Milena L. • August 10, 2014The only statue in DC that you can climb!!

Deb L. • July 25, 2015The estate and gardens were beautiful. The docent tour was well worth the wait. The cafe's strawberry walnut salad was delicious.

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.

Stirling S. • September 5, 2014This is a stunning and infatuating collection of art. The cafe is also quite good.
