kathleen watsonDecember 1, 2013Could not see everything in one day-not to worry. The entry fee allows two days visit!
Dara FisherDecember 26, 2012Yes, it is a paid museum, but totally worth the ticket--$20 gets you in for two days, so take your time!
Melissa CFebruary 4, 2017Lady Gaga's meat dress. Go for free during Bank of America 1st full weekend of the month w/ BOA debit card.
Paul BakerNovember 22, 2011My favorite part is the enormous hall with pullout shelves of historic front pages, from colonial america up until a couple months ago.
Alex MurphyJuly 13, 2011Your ticket is good for 2 days- which is good, because you'll need that much time to get through everything. New favorite DC attraction.
No more Be A TV Reporter. For your groups and anyone else paying the hefty admission, staff could at least do a quick briefing to help visitors get the most out of their experience.
Alex DobyanNovember 28, 2014Well worth the price of admission for anyone interested in history or politics.
T LJanuary 1, 2016If u are journalist or reporter, you must visit: documents, photos, objects and many more. Each one, has their own story
Iffat JokhioApril 6, 2015Was pretty neat. Way less crowded than the smithsonians but there's also an entrance fee. It is pretty pricey, so only go if you're really interested.
Angela MillareApril 22, 2013Be prepared to be affected by the 9/11 exhibit- totally worth the entrance fee alone. Trust me, a must see!
John (aka “PHATFoodFan”)September 19, 2016Check out the outdoor seating on the higher floors when it is nice out
Angela McClendon JohnsonMarch 21, 2010Check out the Elvis exhibit along with EVERYTHING else. Huge range of emotions at this newseum. One ticket covers TWO days for the full effect. Great food court, to boot!
Shoshana SchillerMay 18, 2010The best museum in D.C. and your ticket is good for two days -- and it's worth the return trip. I'd list my favorite exhibits, but it would be every one.
Sharon FMMarch 25, 2013I could spend a week here. Start at the top level and visit it all as you go down to the Berlin Wall
Spencer SchoebenJanuary 9, 2013Favorite museum. I've been numerous times and there is always something new to see.
Colin RaffertySeptember 5, 2016Buy your ticket on your phone before you go in--you get 15% off and can skip the ticket purchase line.
WiredAugust 23, 2012An experience that blends five centuries of news history with up-to-the-second technology and hands-on exhibits.
Curt SteffanJuly 9, 2017It's very interesting on how "news" was spread from the late 1800's to current.
- Travel Channel ManagerJuly 26, 2012The Newseum offers visitors an experience that blends 5 centuries of news history with up-to-the-second technology and hands-on exhibits.
Gabby DarioNovember 3, 2011Don't leave without checking out the restrooms. They have really interesting news headline bloopers on the walls and in the cubicles. It's a good laugh :)
Paull YoungJanuary 3, 2012Awesome museum, well worth the admission price. Plan for at least 4-5 hours here.
Sophia E.February 12, 2016You can go in on two consecutive days with the same ticket. It's nice to break up the visit. :)
Kelly BooneJanuary 17, 2012This is a wonderful museum, but I have to warn you, some of the news articles and photographs are so heart breaking.
The TelegraphMarch 12, 2013Or jump on the metro to the Archives stop and see the widely acclaimed Newseum (newseum.org; £14 adult/ £8 child) – a stunning interactive world of news and information.
Shane HayesOctober 1, 2013At times emotional and surreal, one of the best museum experiences in America
Ree-An AJune 18, 2011A real feast for the eyes: textures, attention to detail, installations, environmental graphics, photography... Visual artists would be delighted :-)
The bathroom walls have old headlines from newspapers that are incorrect or mean something different than intended!
Stephanie HolguinAugust 17, 2011Be sure to let the kids (and adults) report the news in front of a live camera in the Interactive Newsroom. #fun
Maz BerrahoJanuary 6, 2011911 section was well done. Really emotional display. Vast collection of everything from around the world. Amazing place. :)
Ananda RochitaOctober 23, 2011If you want to just check out the gift shop you can just sign in your name without having to pay admission but make sure to come back and sign out!
Sandy vanRheeAugust 5, 2016This is not just another museum! Check out all the great headlines for yourself.
