This place is pretty expensive at almost 27.00 dollars for normal entry. However it's Such an informative place to go. I had so much fun receiving all the knowledge this place had to offer. The views from the 6th floor were so amazing. I love how they have front page news from all over the world. It was great to see them pay homage to all the falling journalist that gave their lives to bring the truth to the light. The F.B.I area was pretty cool. I look forward to coming back.

Tickets are good for 2 days. I suggest going in smaller groups to take advantage of all exhibits. These are emotionally motivated and interactive. Take your time. Take each exhibit in individually. It's a great learning experience. If taking children I suggest visiting the exhibits first. Educating the children on what they are about to explore first. Relax after each exhibit to process. Photo and video is allowed. This is a museum like no other in the world. My view on our world was changed by this fantastic Educational experience for the better. Bring tissues. A MUST FOR ALL TO VISIIT !

This was an awesome experience! Unlike most DC museums there is an admission fee. It was $25/adult but that was good for 2 days. The exhibit outside the newseum drew us in, they have the current day front page of all 50 states and some other countries on display. The Pulitzer Winning photo exhibit was extremely well done and takes you through a range of emotions. They have an actual piece of the Berlin wall and watchtower, again waves of emotions. The view from the top deck provides excellent photo opportunities as you have a unique view of both the capital and Pennsylvania street. The history of news was a great exhibit very well planned and an excellent walk through world history. This attraction is fun and family friendly. My wife and I were able to connect with all of the exhibits because we had actually experienced most of them or could relate to stories we have seen in various forms of media. We were there 4 hours and could have used 2 more. If you have the time and opportunity to visit we strongly recommend it and do not think you will be disappointed.

It's an excellent event venue. Their audio-visual capabilities are excellent, signage and lighting are top-notch, and catering is splendid (from what I understand, they cater from Wolfgang Puck). And when the weather is nice, there is a beautiful large balcony that opens the view to the Capitol, the Mall, National Gallery of Arts, etc. The museum and the Pulitzer photographer exhibit are great too, but I mostly come here for events. DC is all about events and conferences, and having a proper venue that would keep up with the standards is actually not that easy. I've been to plenty of events where the snacks were from Costco, served on plastic plates. Seems like not a big deal, but as far as etiquette goes, having a certain level of decorum is required if you want to be professional and treat your guests with respect. Newseum does a great job with that.

Newseum is a wonderful experiential place. You start by seeing a section about 9/11 and one on the Berlin Wall, then go to the outdoor deck on the 6th floor for a memorable view of the Capitol. Work your way down each floor. Be sure to watch every video. They are well worth the time. Good reminder that freedom of the press and freedom of speech are to be valued in our democracy.
