Spectacular! Nothing I could say would do it justice. Take the family and spend the day. You won't see everything, but the museum will not disappoint. Gift shops are reasonable priced. Bathrooms easily located. Staff is amazing. Enjoy our history at the Smithsonian!

You can get saturated quickly because there is so much to see. I'm glad we went with a list of the few things we didn't want to miss for our first time. American history has the original star spangled banner, Abraham Lincoln's hat and George Washington uniform. The Natural history has the Hope Diamond, Air and Space has the Wright flyer, Apollo 11, Mars Curiosity. The National Archives has the declaration of Independence and Constitution. Pretty amazing stuff! It was hard to find reasonably priced food and parking. I don't think food is allowed in the museum's so that's a tricky one. An Uber may be worth the cost to not hassle with parking.

There were interesting exhibits and displays to see here. It was not quite what we expected, however. The exhibits were very focused on industry and advancement more than an actual history of America. Still, it was enjoyable to see. And once you get past the prices, the food in the cafeteria wasn't bad.

We loved this museum and it’s exhibits. They were updated with the outdated and taught the improvements made over the last 100 years in technological advances and achievements. Right when you walk in there is the Batman bat mobile head left you will enjoy the industrial revolution from lightbulbs to engines. To the right is a kids imagination workshop and advertising and marketing influences. Second floor in the middle is Home to the flag flown in 1814 battle the night we won against the British and the flag that inspired the national anthem! To it’s right is the presidential and First Lady section. It’s amazing because you will see the hat that Abe Lincoln was wearing the night he was assassinated. There is a lot to see in this museum and I highly recommend planning to stay for 3 hours or more of you are a reader.

Wonderful place to visit! So many wonderful things to see and do. Great for kids or adults alike. The war section was amazing!!! I have been many times and it has never got old. You would have a hard time getting through the whole museum in under 5 or 6 hours of busily walking around.
