This museum is simply wonderful, what we couldn't tear our eyes away from for a long time is the ships, this museum is very informative about American history. The introduction of new technologies trains, ships, bicycles and much more. The museum itself is very clean, the staff is good, it is spacious, and the most important thing is that you get to know the history of ancient America, you dive into the past and discover something interesting and new for yourself. I don't really like museums, but I was delighted by this one, and I liked it. My kids were also happy and couldn't be contained. I recommend it to everyone, even with small children, it will be interesting and fun for everyone)
This place is more for growing kids then younger ones. Definitely glad we did make the visit but ours were a bit to young. When you walk in you get airport or bank vibes so definitely not the same as the other Smithsonians. We did love the trains and cars, and the Dolby section was also very eye catching.
This museum is one of the best put-together museums of United States History that I've been to. The exhibits set the bar for how exhibits should be done. Allow at least a day preferably two visit this museum, then you might be able read almost everything and watch all of the videos. I highly recommend this museum for those interested in United States history and those wishing to learn more in the topic. This is definitely a must see attraction.
It's free and very impressive. The cafeteria downstairs is very good and clean. It was impressive as well. The salad by is charged by weight. Considering the fact the place is free, the over charged food is well worth it. It's a big place and you can easily spend a whole day there. No parking just walk there as it's a great walk.
The incredible care that goes into maintaining artifacts from our history is incredible. It was amazing seeing the rich history of our nation, while taking time to see where we’ve really come from.
This is not a place to go if you only have “a few minutes”. I made the mistake of only spending 1.5 hours the first time I visited the museum…. This last time, I spent over 4 and could still have spent more time.
This is an amazing museum to visit. I truly believe there is something for all ages and taste. We had a wonderful time. Spent about 4 hours there and still feel like we have more to see. Highly recommend a visit.
This is by far my favorite Smithsonian! This is a must check out if in the area. I would plan a minimum of 4hrs to check out this huge 3 story place. They have some really amazing pieces you will only see here. Also, it's free to enter. Just make sure to reserve tickets online which will make things go faster at the entrance.
This place is often referred to by local guides as America’s Attic. It is as eclectic as the American Experience. You can see the actual flag that was the premise for the Star Spangled Banner, Julia Child’s kitchen and a remarkable history about how immigration has influenced the American palate, First Lady inauguration gowns, old coins, some of the first steam engines, or some ruby slippers to take you back to Kansas. It’s just so much stuff; fortunately, they have tours throughout the day to help guide you and you should definitely take advantage of those. This is probably one of the most interactive Smithsonians with special emphasis on keeping the younger crowd entertained - including a whole hands on area dedicated to sparking the inventive spirit of our children!!!! There are also clean bathrooms, lockers, multiple stores, and a food court/cafe. It’s just so awesome, it’s exhausting!

Great place to better understand American history. The museum is divided into sections like Food and cooking history, War History, Arts and entertainment, etc., which makes the visit easier to assimilate. The museum itself is huge, even a day isn't enough to visit all the sections. There are guided tours at 11 am and 1pm.
One of my favorite museums in all the world. As a lifelong American History “nerd”, this place has exhibit after exhibit that pull you in. Inspiring. Educational. Enthralling. Nostalgic. Literally has a little bit of everything.
