National Geographic Reviews

This is a great museum, but is small and pricy. They have different exhibits whenever I come. The exhibits have been exotic birds and other animals when I have visited. I do not visit often generally because it is a musuem you must pay for. There are many other mueums in Washington D.C. that are better and free, which is why I do not go often. This museum is good for children as it is very interactive. The museum's shop is fun and you can buy an Atlas, stuffed anaimals, books and toys for children. This is a mueum anyone should visit while in D.C. as showcases very good exhibits and findings.

Great for every type of tourist! We went there for the National Geographic GeoBee finals. The museum was amazing. I learned a lot about ancient Egypt. The bathysphere is also extremely cool, and the dinosaur skull is amazing.

I went to see the Queens of Egypt exhibit, which was great! I ve seen a few of the National Geographic exhibits and i always have a pretty good time. The only criticism i would offer is that i found some of the informational plaques a little difficult to read. It might have been the type of font, the size, the color (in conjunction with the background color), the lighting level, of some combination therein.

Ok only had 1/2 exibits open. They did give us tickets to return within 3 months. Very nice pictures.

Once again, a recurring thought pertaining to Philanthropy, if we had millions of whistles, we would blow the scandalous, corrupt and high crime right out of the swamp in DC, they would attempt to down play it, but there's no way to wrap their head around it.
They can ignor evidence, the will of the American people, ignor Helsinki, they can ignor the Ukraine and American patriot Sergeant Colonel Alexander Vindmin, but they would never ignor the sound of millions of World Wide Whistle resisters, [just think], it would just drive them nuts! Whistles are in, traitors out!Sharing is caring...

The Queens of Egypt was everything I was hoping for! I highly recommend a visit here, even if you only have a couple of hours.

Not exactly what I was expecting but it was an amazing experience and probably one of my favorites while in D.C. I wouldn't quiet call it a museum (or a typical museum) because the permanent section is a bit of a joke but there were two exhibitions that were very interactive, modern, and well done.

It was my first time going to the Nat Geo Museum and am so happy I did. I visited the Wild exhibit and the Holy Sepulchre exhibit. Both exhibits were beautifully done. The technology used to take you through the Sepulchre was awe inspiring and the experience is still being reveled by the group I toured with. The Wild exhibit is one not to miss if you have an interest in nature photography and anthropological study.

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. It's a small museum, but they had a really neat virtual reality experience of the holy seplechre. They also have a whole timeline of national geographic photos and paraphernalia which was awesome. They even had a camera that had been bitten by a bear if I remember correctly. Small, but fantastic. They make it worth the price.

It's a must see if you're in town. Entrance fee $15.00 for adult . The kids enjoyed the virtual tour, The Tomb of Christ which is 3D and Titanic.

Great experience. One of our favorite exhibits we visited.

Small museum, but very well curated and designed exhibitions. My expectations for a show of Instagram photos was admittedly low going in, but they've created an incredibly inventive and engaging experience. Both shows are highly interactive, with multiple levels of engagement. Good for kids. Price is a little high for a 2 gallery museum (hence loss of one star), but I didn't feel like it was a rip.

Way too short for $15. Especially considering what you can get for free in DC.

The exhibits are incredibly interesting. We saw one about the tomb of Christ and it was interactive. The use of technology was very impressive. There was also an exhibit about the Titanic. It told stories that I was unaware of. I recommend this museum.

I'm sorry, we don't eat story. Your credibility is for the floors.
That the official narrative of the fall WTC 7 challenges elementary physics and say nothing ???
What a pity that they have also been bought and no longer have objectivity in the subjects.

The museum is very small + few samples + I stay to duty (National Geograpic have the greatest contribution to the world of the Biology of the Planet but they do not show it in their small Museum)

I enjoyed the Greek exhibit. It was very interesting and educational.

Great ancient artifacts and history. Smaller than I thought it would be but very comprehensive in the tour guides were very well informed.

The tomb of Christ is worthwhile seeing it is amazing exposition I never experienced anything like it before

Highly recommend visiting the church of the holy sepulchre exhibition, the 3d experience is an absolute delight!

We saw the trip to the Holy Sepulchre Church in Israel a virtual tour. Unbelievable. Enjoyed it so much especially the VR glasses and immersion tour.

Great place we saw the Women of Egypt exposition and it was very well done and very informative, they also had during this exposition some middle east belly dance performances again very well done. Al in all exactly what you would expect from National Geographic magazine!!

This is a nice museum but it is deceivingly small and there isn't much in it as far as physical exhibits go.

The Jerusalem Temple experience wAs very well done with aid of technology. I would recommend it.

Unless you are a fan of Egyptology probably not worth the $15.

We thoroughly enjoyed our brief visit to the Not Geo Museum especially the 3-D exhibit! It was a comprehensive look back into the lives of female Egyptian royalty.

Nice for what it is 2 exhibits that take about 1.5 hours to go through. Wouldn t recommend for children.

One of the best museums. No words to describe, just go and visit.

Pretty awesome! We were able to experience The Tomb of Christ, enjoyed every minute of it.

Disappointed museum more commercial than anything Thing some nice things to see but a lot of fake resin part I advise against

Wonderful Exhibits and programs. A venerable institution that has kept up with the times.

This is a museum using the ground floor of an office building. It only takes a little more than an hour to see it all. Perhaps not worth the price.

What a waste of money. For our visit it was around $50. There's nothing there, you walk around in a loop one the first floor. The size of the museum is about the size of one exhibit in a normal museum. If I could give it zero stars I would. I would recommend you spend your time and money somewhere else.

Loved the Queen's of Egypt Exhibit. Can't wait to see what's next

This is not a full museum per se compared to Smithsonian museums, there is a tiny permanent exhibit and two shows. Tomb of Christ was very good, with virtual experiences. Titanic exhibit is also nice, if somewhat similar seen in couple of other museums was mostly filled with props from Titanic movie.

The photo ark exhibit is amazing. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon. The pace had the feel of an art exhibit. It was not crowded or loud and I did not feel rushed. I would visit regularly if I lived closer. As someone else had said. I don't know how entertaining for children. The crocodile and alligator exhibit was pretty cool as well. The small live exhibits definitely enhanced the experience.

Beautiful building,for being a museum has two little exhibits or information on National Geographic. for $15 to see exhibit of the Greek is too much

Fantastic museum with something new each time. The current exhibit covers the Queens of Egypt and does a great job detailing women's lives in ancient Egypt. One of the best parts is a 3D video exhibit where you appear to enter the tomb and explore. Highly recommend.

Awesome events for children and amazing exhibits. Staff is well informed and very helpful. A national treasure.

Expected a little bit more but still worth the visit

I visited the museum during the "Taste of Titanic" event and took the opportunity to see the Titanic exhibit. Although the museum is very small, they had several interesting facts about the Titanic and the movie.

I came for the queens of egypt exhibit. Great project. Sure people who love museums would love it.

Queens of Egypt exhibit was worth the visit.It was good to the queens get their time in the sun

Special exhibit on the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is great. I have been to the site myself (in Jerusalem), and this is the next best thing. 3D and VR are remarkable.

This museum did an excellent job with the layout of their information and artifacts. It was a nice flow of patrons, and I appreciate that it was made clear what was a replica and what was on loan as an artifact. There is a great 3D video on Queen Nefertari's tomb within the exhibit. Highly recommend visiting the Nat Geo Museum for their general free admission displays and also their seasonal Queens of Egypt exhibit. Beautiful, clean, and friendly staff.

The Christs Tomb Exhibit was incredible. My entire group was perplexed and mesmerized throughout the experience. If you are in DC while this exhibit is open, it is a must see. The way that the technology is utilized perfected the experience and guaranteed that we would come back next time.

Beautiful building and worthwhile exhibits, definitely visit this place!

Small compared to Smithsonian museums, however very entertaining and informative!
