Excellent museum. The layout is intuitive, the exhibits are thoughtfully done and well cared for.  There is so much to see and learn.  I could easily spend a whole day just taking it all in.  Security can take a while, particularly when some aren't prepared.  So, get there early and be prepped for airport level security.  It will look busy, but once you're inside the crowds disperse and it is manageable.  Truly recommend!

This is a great place to visit. History is living in the place! I got to see things that I have taught about in school for years. Just remember to have a good pair of walking shoes on because you'll want to check out the rest of the Mall area. Washington DC is an amazing place to visit history!

This is one of the best museums that I have been to. Before you read anymore you should know that it is impossible to do in one day. It really is so don’t try. There is so much here it is such an amazing place. Everywhere you look there is something that will interest you. They also have tons and tons of incredibly famous artifacts here. I think this is a must do if you are in the city. If you only have one day to do it then I would recommend looking their website and picking specific things and doing them.

This museum is very thorough regarding every detail important to this nation's history. I appreciated how it highlighted not only the amazing feats and accomplishments made by U.S. citizens past and present, but also the mistakes and points of improvements needed to keep us strong and healthy. This is a country beautifully ran on diversity and this museum showcases it.

Museum is cool and interesting but the there is only 5 food choices and three of them are different grilled cheese sandwiches. We dropped almost 50$ on a salad, two grilled cheese sanwhiches a fruit bowl. Pudding and 2 soft drinks. The food wasn’t even good.
