We got tickets but arrived too late to see the re-enactment of Lincoln's death that we payed for. Instead, we sat through a very boring explanation of the re-enactment which only costed like $5 each. Don't make the same mistake we did! More

Spooky & strange vibes while viewing the exact few square inches that Lincoln's live body occupied, and envision the terrifying evening. I understand this VERY important landmark is no longer under the Park & Planning Commission's care, & is experiencing severe funding problems; what a significant potential loss! Also 'heard' that the quarters across the street, where Lincoln's body was... More

My visit to Ford’s Theater where President Lincoln was sadly assassinated was educational and well organized. If you are an American history fan then this stop is well worth it. Tickets are FREE or if you want a guaranteed time then you can order them online. The cost was $5.00. I would highly recommend checking the online schedule to ensure... More

This is an ok place attraction in DC to go and tour. The play was ok but not great. It was a 2 man play and which both of them were arguing about if the theatre was going to be used again after Lincoln was shot. We did the audio tour which you get a device that looks like a... More

The renovation was terrific! We did the audio you plus theater and house where Lincoln died. They let you go back to the museum after the theater presentAtion if you need more time. Be sure to sit on the left on the theater so you see Lincoln's box. Also get in the line outside as soon as you check in... More

We attended a performance of "1776" at Ford's, which was the perfect venue for this show. The historic theatre has been returned to a fully functional modern theatre while retaining the historic feel, including the Presidential Box. We enjoy seats in the "Dress Circle", which is the first few rows of the balcony. The only down side to our visit,... More

I wanted to make sure we got to see this, so I paid the convenience fee online to get my tickets in advance. After standing in line, we were led into the theater area and listened to a park ranger tell the story of what happened. He was monotoned and extremely boring. The theater is not the original theater- the... More

We went to Ford's theater not knowing what to expect. First the tour starts with a visit to a museum which holds Lincoln's clothes that he was wearing the night he was shot - very cool. Also has the gun he was shot with. Next step is to visit the Theater and a ranger tells the audience the story of... More

This is worth the trip. Be sure to see the Lincoln museum in the theater The shows are very well done (though I find Christmas Carol boring). Some seats have obstructed viewing due to posts (structural supports). So be sure to ask when you buy your tickets about the view. They do have ADA seating at the back for folks... More
