Suggestions for Museum near Washington

Carmen Y. • October 25, 2016One of my favorite museums ever! Fun, interesting and interactive.

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!

Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum • April 9, 2013We often have safe solar telescopes setup outside to view sunspots and other features on the Sun. Check our calendar for evening stargazing events.

James R. • November 2, 2010Check hotels in the area for free tickets in advance - allow yourself 2-3 hours to experience everything. Very powerful and well done.

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.

Oscar F. • March 11, 2016Great place to start cafe and wifi available here. Clean restrooms and maps of all sorts to start your adventure. There's people to help answer questions and also gift shops.

Lenny G. • July 13, 2019Wonderful gallery space and design with an emphasis on taking you through a history of Modern Art. Worth checking out.

Gaurav B. • February 17, 2017I go there for the special exhibits but permanent collection is also quite good.

Shannon B. • July 15, 2019Get their early.... order tickets online and you can start when you want .... they are extremely nice and good with kids

Byron W. • December 22, 2015This was the back-up created for the original Skylab. Don't forget to look up above and see how large the inside is!

Eric • June 3, 2015Stuck a tiny piece of moon. Expect huge line ups to touch it

Peter F. • May 29, 2022Interesting that when I was at the Bilbao Guggenheim last week they were also featuring A Marcel Duchamp exhibit. No it was Dubuffet, not Duchamp

L K. • October 1, 2016Excellent display of historic rockets, and a full scale model Hubble Space Telescope. Plus the Apollo 11 lander! What could be better?
