- Ilene820 contributionsWell done!Impressive in scale and scope! Made my list of top 3 museums in DC along with the National Gallery of Art and the National Portrait Gallery. Truly fascinating for all people of all ages. We greatly appreciated the healthier lunch offerings at the salad bar too.Visited April 2023Travelled with familyWritten February 14, 2024
- bodhi_samOrlando, Florida318 contributionsModernized and wonderful - GREAT museum for all agesHaven’t been to the DC Natural history museum in years and boy have they revamped it. Exhibits show a fantastic array of wildlife, with powerful storytelling and the minerals exhibit is curated beautifully. Worth a visit for any family - and best of all it’s free!!Visited February 2024Travelled soloWritten February 15, 2024
- Jose R39 contributionsNatural history museumThis museum is huge so you may need to stay at least 3 hours. We stayed only 1/2 hr as we were in a rush and it was our second time. The kids enjoyed that little bit we had though, especially the dinosaurs.Visited March 2024Travelled with familyWritten March 17, 2024
- Jarrod BDunedin, New Zealand273 contributionsIt's a great museum with some pretty good stuff. Just be aware it's busy, and there seems to be no obvious flow to it.It's a bit of a mixed bag. It's free, so the price is great, the queues to get in can be long but they move quick so that's good. There's a bunch of really nice exhibits, and some that are fairly rare, the Hope diamond for instance, and the pretty good collection of dinosaur skeletons, and skeletons in general actually. There are two issues, first, it's very busy so be prepared to take your time, be patient as others want to look and take photos and read the info panels etc. Secondly, there doesn't seem to be any natural flow to the layout that we could figure out. This means you can bounce around a bit and not be entirely sure you've seen all the galleries. We noticed this immediately, and heard others comment about it on our way around. Look, they're minor issues, it was great fun, we love museums, and this one is pretty good. It's just I think it's worth while knowing about so you can do some research before hand, and/or have the right expectations.Visited March 2024Travelled with familyWritten March 27, 2024
- andyh67186334Coalville, United Kingdom11,316 contributionsVery BusyAs the weather was poor, I decided to visit the museum, and it seemed everyone else had the same idea. As it ws free to enter, not time slots and Spring Break, it was organised chaos when you were inside. I didn't see as much as I wanted to due the vast amount of visitors, a shame really.Visited April 2024Travelled soloWritten April 14, 2024
- USASUNZurich, Switzerland261 contributionsWorthwhile museumWe found this museum to be a little smaller than the Natural History Museum in New York, but no less interesting. In particular, there are many different dinosaur skeletons on display here, which I have never seen before. The museum is beautifully designed in the old building and offers plenty of space for visitors. The butterfly garden was unfortunately closed, but would have been very worthwhile. A diverse museum with a beautiful, bright and not overcrowded cafe. We can highly recommend this.Visited April 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten April 17, 2024
- SUBZEROSKIDD10Thetford, Vermont1,236 contributionsStarting To Show Its AgeThere is a reason that the National Museum Of Natural History is consistently ranked as one of the most popular museums not just on the National Mall but in all of Washington, DC. The collection of taxidermied animals of all species from across the globe is astounding. The ability to get nearly nose-to-nose with a bull moose or stare directly into the eyes (albeit glassed over) of a kangaroo with a joey in its pouch is something most would never experience. Although, some of the exhibits have started to show their age and some animals are exhibiting some wear and tear. It’s quite possible that some of the animals have been there over 30 years and some of the other educational exhibits could use an upgrade into the 2020s decade. Regardless, this museum is not one to be missed for both DC natives and visitors alike.Visited April 2024Travelled with familyWritten April 30, 2024
- Kate S346 contributionsBest in USBy far the best natural history museum in the country. We had read that most people take 2-3 hours to complete the museum, but that is totally false. We spent that much time and only saw 3 exhibits. We saw the gems- so many amazing rocks and meteorites. The biggest diamond in the world is there, too (didn't get pictures because there were too many people). We also visited the ocean exhibits that taught a lot about pollution, global warming, etc. on the impact of the ocean and the domino effect that has. It also discussed some ancient ocean life that was cool. The last exhibit we saw was the African one that showed a bit of what life has been/is like for these people over many hundreds of years. I wish we would have had more time to see more of the exhibits- dinosaurs, animals, Egypt, etc. But we had another place to be after 2.5 hours. You could probably spend the whole day here, to be honest.Visited April 2024Travelled with friendsWritten May 2, 2024
- JayPhoenix, Arizona155 contributionsTons of ExhibitsThe Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History is full of interesting exhibits ranging from geology to insects. I enjoyed the minerals section when I visited. Some of the other exhibits were being revamped, so I didn't get to see those. The exhibit on cell phones and electronics was very cool and I'd recommend you stop by. Note that prices in the food court are outrageous.Visited September 2023Travelled with friendsWritten May 7, 2024
- sgavoyagesParis, France10,578 contributionsLarge, very varied museumLarge museum that does not require reservations. Lots of classes. Many different departments: mammals first men minerals with magnificent jewelry African dinosaurs (we wonder why?). Allow several hours.Visited May 2024Travelled soloWritten May 14, 2024
