National Geographic Reviews

The truth is very expensive for what they offer, it only has an act and a mural with photos.
I do not recommend the museum.

I love this Museum a must see. There is nothing more to say.

The place where adventure, courage and dedication are honored and pursued. The exhibition "Women" is inspiring and magnificent.

Great experience. The Indian Jones exhibit was impressive. I liked the Android tablet integration, pretty neat.

The best museum experience I have ever had! So many cool things to see and the staff is absolutely wonderful. Thanks!

This place was expensive and a waste of time. One room with pictures and that s it. The staff was clearly hiding the fact that most exhibits were closed. When I asked for what else is here she said no worries you can come back with the ticket to see the next exhibit which isnt helpful to mainly tourists. It took us 20 minutes to walk the whole thing. SKIP THIS!

Nice exhibits of their articles! The Jane Goodall exhibit is very informative!

On a beautiful Sunday morning of the LABOR DAY WEEKEND, from Vienna Va, I took the METRO ORANGE LINE to FARRAGUT NORTH. From there I walked on CONNECTICUT AVE, past the MAYFLOWER HOTEL, to ST MATTHEWS CATHEDRAL on RHODE ISLAND AVE. After the 11:30 mass, I walked on 17th Street to stop at the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MUSEUM. There I bought tickets to see CHRIST TOMB & JERUSALEM IN 3D! It was awesome! The photography was incredibly spectacular! It s super extraordinary!!
Ticket for CHRIST TOMB is $15
Ticket for JERUSALEM IN 3D is $7
The TOMB is shown every 12 minutes
I saw JERUSALEM at 3pm for 45 minutes.
After the shows, I had a MUSHROOM MELT SANDWICH, baked potato chips and chocolate chip cookie from nearby POTBELLY s. After a while, I walked back to FARRAGUT NORTH METRO STATION VIA FARRAGUT PARK stopping at FROZEN YOGURT for bottled water and a scoop of gelato with pistachio, then back to Vienna before sundown...
The trip left me feeling great and worthwhile!
I ll do this again next month to see those same shows because i know it will take me about 2 more years to save money before I can make the trip to see the REAL ONES in person...

Small place that didn't have too many visitors. It was fantastic. When we went, there was an exhibit about Egypt. It was so cool. They had Egyptian games set up and there was just so much history. I would highly recommend checking it out.

Kind of geared toward kids. Not really sure it was worth the admission with so many free museums and attractions in the area

Incredibly small and expensive. The gift shop was the largest exhibit. Even the employees were bored! They were reading novels at their desk!

It has a lot of interesting information and pictures

Excellent display, the spinosaurus. Very good museum

Disappointing, only advertising for the Indian series Johnes

i love photography this place have lots of good photo taken by NGO photographer. The exhibit space is not really big but lots of stuff to see. It is well design for kids as well as adults. this is the place you will learn something interesting and new.

This was an enjoyable experience! The Day to Night exhibit was fun for me because I love wildlife, and the Jerusalem exhibit about the burial place of Christ was super interactive which kept it interesting! I'm normally not much of a museum person due to my attention span, but this was actually worth it. Show your college ID and it's only $13.

Exceptional exhibition Queens of the Nile...LOVED it!!!! National Geo does an excellent job!!!

A great tour, for free, but a lush architecture, Beautiful promenade.

Awesome exhibit about women of Egyptian antiquity. Tour guide was kind and knowledgeable. I was disappointed by her traditional Eurocentric pseudoscience explanation of some points but she shed a lot of light on the overall subject, so I gave 4/5 's since the exhibition was superb.

Small sample of Egypt and 1 single 5 meter corridor with photos. You don't deserve to pay for it

This museum should be free, it's only like 2 rooms and one is a brief presentation. That's it, super disappointing. Save your money.

What a let down. For being a paid Museum it pales in comparison to the free museums in DC. They have a rotating exhibit which was short but OK and then we were told the museum continues across the courtyard. The additional content is basically a single hallway of NG magazine covers. We were disappointed.

Great show for the banff film festival. Awesome facility

Queens of Egypt is a fantastic exhibit through mid September

The Queen of Egypt Exhibition.
The five Queens of Egypt from Nefertiti 1539-1514 BC, Hatshepsut 1479-1458 BC, Tiye 1390- 1350 BC, Isetnofret 1255-1245 BC and The last Queen Cleopatra 51-30 BC. This exhibition uses various mediums from 3D, film to artifacts. They have a model of a burial chamber and explain the mummification process.

For the history of NGM I expected much more. Two simple displays on the tomb of Christ and Titanic. Very weak

Wow!! What an Awesome Museum!! I ve always wanted to be a National Geographic Photographer!! Love the Jane Goodall exhibit, absolutely Amazing!!! Can t wait to go again!!

Less variety of information. Only portrayed about Egypt's history

Their current exhibit is fantastic. The rest which is selected pictures is ok.

i've always wanted to stock up on national geographic gear, but the store is poorly arranged, so it makes it difficult to find anything worthwhile. i end up getting lost, flipping through the pages of one or two amazing books.

The quality of photos displayed by national geographic never disappoints

Museum closed for exhibit exchange til Oct 21, 2019. This should be readily available info on Google Maps and other social media

Check out the Tomb of Jesus exhibit! It s an incredible immersive experience.

It is not a museum at all. It should be the Titanic museum. Even the Chris show was not organized, too many people in a small area and people in back can't see. Totally, it wasn't a good experience, there are many other sightseeing to visit which are much better.

Massively disappointing lack of exhibits or information. Save you money and buy a magazine! Do NOT go here !

Great exhibition Queens of Egypt. A lot of history in this exhibit.

I attended the museum as a daddy-daughter date with my two daughters. We were greated upon entering the museum by the front desk attendant. She gave us great service with a smile. We entered the exhibit hall and were drawn to the visual beauty of the exhibits. It was well laid out and educational. We sincerely and thoroughly enjoyed it. Job well done NGM.

The Tomb of Christ exhibit is a virtual reality hit! Good information.

Expensive and based on pure footage, I expected something else ..

Hi if any body gets this message i need help. My accounts had been hacked , also my phone and is really hard for me to get incontact with some one.

The museum is a little small, but packed full of amazing artifacts and information. The Tomb of Christ and Titanic exhibits were on display during our visit. Amazing!! The Tomb of Christ featured an interactive 3D exhibit that was so cool. Because the museum is kinda small, I would suggest taking your time to walk through slowly and enjoy it all. We moved through faster than we would have if we knew there were only two main exhibits.

Tomb of Christ and Day to Night were very good, but that was the extent of the interesting exhibits. Other magazine covers and displays only took a few minutes.

This is a great museum if you have kids. It's very interactive and have some nice displays. The only downside is that is very small (one floor of a huge building). It is nice that they have changing exhibits every few months. Didn't hate it but didn't love it.

Loved seeing the Titanic exhibit...and Tomb of Christ...

Was Great rotating exhibits filled with multimedia and sensory experiences. We saw the Queens of Egypt exhibit and it was amazing. We enjoyed all of the displays. The 3D tomb tour was fabulous. The only negative inattentive staff in the gift shop. They were more interested in talking with each other than customers. All other staff were polite and helpful.

While off the strip, their museum is pretty great. The exhibit on Egyptian queens was really cool, and going across the courtyard to see past issues was an added treat. I'd highly recommend this on a bucket list stop on a DC itinerary.

The Tomb of Christ exhibit blew me away. I think it is even better than going to the real place. No crowds, guided access, 3D experience. Amazing.

A place with many 3D activities and interesting things to see

Super cool, interesting and attractive, I was completely involved in the information, the curiosity and interest of that subject and the way in which Jane performed achieving a very good result with the changos transmitting that beautiful feeling of feeling part of the environment with that room of 3D. I congratulate the entire body of the museum and especially Jane for that wonderful attitude of protection and conservation of living species!

Great service everyone is kind and working together for a great cause

Be sure to check out the exhibit of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

Good intention but very expensive to only show photos ....

Excellent collection of Egyptian artifacts. A little disappointingly small...

Awesome museum and the best one in the area. While it is smaller, the quality of the exhibits is something else.

Not a great museum... it's very small , there are only two rooms. One room is a rotating exhibit which was "NatGeo Instagram" when I was there. Essentially they just printed out their Instagram photos and made sure to tell you how many likes each photo got. The other exhibit is a kids exhibit which is fun but doesn't tell you much. The best part is the gift shop.

I was absolutely amazed by the exhibition they had at the moment (Tomb of Christ) when I was in Baltimore. what a Great 3D experience that would never forget..
