The fist time I visited the National Museum of Natural History, I was disappointed to say the least. As a wildlife biologist, I love this stuff. The mammals wing was awful. Common names only, poor displays, nothing that would make anyone excited about what they are seeing or learn about these fabulous and far away critters. Well, the renovation to... More

Great for young and old , my husband loved this museum . We spent hours wandering around , it was excellent

I have been here 4 times in the past few years and still haven't fully seen everything as I would like to. With free admission, though, there's no problem in coming back for more when you can!

A great museum with lots of history and great artifacts from dinosaurs, stones, gems, and even the Hope Diamond to name a few. A definite must see museum where you could literally spend the entire day here. There is a nice cafeteria style food court to get something to eat and drink and to rest some tired feet. Great stuff... More

Another great museum, retracing the first breath on earth to nowadays. They have a wide collection of fossils, dinosaurs... even mammals... The geology section was one of my favorite. It's amazing to see how much history there can be in a rock and with a lot of work can become a beautiful jewel... nice collection of that too! I must... More

The Smithsonian museums are works of art all in themselves. If you can't find something as this museum that you find interesting than you hate everything. If you travel to D.C. this is the one museum you must visit. The only downside is it gets crowded.

The mammals, dinosaurs and gems were the highlights for our family. We almost skipped the IMAX, as usual - but decided we needed a break. Good choice! Everyone in our group loved the butterfly movie. Very well done.

This place is so cool. From the hope diamond, to the cave men and dinosaurs, you can spend the whole day in here alone.

Great, great museum! This will entertain both children and adults. Can get rather crowded during the holidays and the museum will wear you out. So worth it though.
