Smithsonian Institution Reviews

FREE NERD HEAVEN!!!! plan a month to see everything.

Fantastic science institute / good restrooms / store / information

You know da law for state 2 state I'd is in effect todues...

Pretty lovely place to visit :) Had a good time here

Has a lot of nice things and the natural history and air and space museum were beyond five stars

you better release all the ancient artifacts you keep hidden from the public. I discovered more cover ups of yours and will gladly reveal truths in hopes of another lawsuit against your crimes. Your bible is nothing to keep in line with. I will start a movement against your corporation in hopes to end it if you continue to withhold the truth about some of the artifacts you keep well hidden or destroyed. There is evidence out there of this circling till the right time to file another lawsuit. To avoid this you better comply.

A lively place to visit!!! Filled with the smallest of items, to the biggest of people. One thing you should check is that they poke the same stick into every bag. Which transfers germs.

Museum complex, Smithsonian Institute, wonderful, but we lacked time to see them all, a must if you go to Whashignton D. C free museums.

Fantastic venues. Great experiences. Better than ever imagined.

If you like airplanes, I would like to visit it once.
Spacecraft (lunar lander) and moon stones are also on display.
The Wright brothers' airplanes are also on display, but originally they were specialized in bicycle manufacturing, so it is a must-see for their super retro bicycles (there are only a few cars in the United States).

I brought my kids here for the first time. They loved it. We marveled at the gems and minerals. They also loved the dinosaur exhibits. I liked the astronomy exhibits, especially the information about the moon and the earth. Of course, every kid has to see the gift shop. FYI: an Astronaut ice cream sandwich (freeze dried) will cost you $6. Is there Parking? Not close to the museum. In Washington D.C,, expect to do a lot of walking. This museum is very popular. Get there early to avoid the long lines.

My favorite museum! It's free admission too! The displays are beautiful. They have great exhibits. The current fashion exhibit has so much wonderful talent in the world of Indian Fashion. There were many pieces I wish I could own! I love the moccasins! There are three or four large rooms of clothing and accessories on display. Beautiful designs.

The museum has the subway right at the front door. It's located close to food spots and Battery Park. A lot of history in the neighborhood.

I visited in the 4th grade, 1995! Still to date, The Smithsonian Institute, is my most favorite place I've ever gone!! Can't wait to visit D.C. and the museum again soon!!

It is the highest peak as a display content of vehicles flying in the sky, and it comes with a word that both volume and quality are wonderful.
First of all, it is overwhelmed by the enormousness of the space shuttle that sits at the end of the line of sight entering.
I can not help feeling the overwhelming power, frontier spirits, and insanity of the 20th century America, that it jumped into space more than 100 times with such a huge ride.
In addition, the heritage of mankind is lined with places such as famous stealth fighter aircraft, Enola Gay who dropped the atomic bomb, Apollo 11, Fryer brothers of Wright brothers.
Even outside sightseeing purposes, I encourage you to visit by all means if you are able to spend a little busy time such as those visiting in Washington, DC for business.

This Institute is wonderful. You can't stop coming to meet him.

this is the worst museum I bought a module and my son pulled it out of the package and when he opened it he found the landing gear broken, the cockpit broken and a part didn't fit don't buy anything from these clowns

My son got a burger and found it was very smash-able, so he smashed it as flat as could. 0/10 burger, 1/5 place (the actual museum was pretty cool); smash-able burgers are NOT acceptable.

Very nice museum, and to the delight of the visitor for free, definitely recommended.

Spend an entire day going through each of their museums. It s a little exhausting but definitely worth it!

Y y'all Dissin' on museums, these things are gr8. Full of cool stuff.

NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick is about to get his own display at the Smithsonian s..he is sitting next to the American flag.

Wonderful museums with free admission. Always something new and interesting, check some out when you're in town.

Awesome museum, there are lots of things to look around

A great first stop for touring the museums. There is a small info exhibit, gift shop, restrooms, and the staff are centralized to help guide and answer questions.

i have been there years ago. loves it very much. i was wondering how log do you keep bug collections there.. because my bug collection went there.. when i was there i never asked if it was still there.. the name should be alice bancroft or alice shipley.. was just courious if it was still there.thank you

Loved the experience. It's located right by the landing for the ferry. I would recommend it.

Had a great time with my beautiful bride my brother Greg and Diane

One of the best and nicest museum I ve ever been. Very interesting expositions and very educative.

We stopped in here around 8:30 A.M. while we were waiting for other museums to open. We were just in time for a tour, which covered the highlights of the displays and Smithsonian history. The tour was short and well worth our time, and we finished up looking at the various displays once it was done. The little coffee shop is a benefit, and a great place to stop and rest at any point during the day. One thing - the machine that takes your picture and then builds a composite picture using images of your area of interest (Science, arts, etc.) doesn't seem to work correctly. The composite image is supposed to be emailed to you, but almost a week later we have not received the email with our pictures.

we visited the Smithsonian Institution museums today for the first time in many years. We wanted the grandchildren to experience the museums. Big disappointment. We found the staff in the stores rude and not very friendly. The price of the food was way over the top in price $65.00 for four to eat sandwiches. The bathrooms were dirty. In addition the security staff at least the armed ones have no professionalism at all. Very sad state that the museums have gotten to.

Awesome place. Make sure you have enough time for this place. Lots to see and learn. Wear comfortable shoes! And there's always a long lineup to enter the museum.

I have been here a very few amount of times, but I reccomend going. Sometimes I wish I could go there more because everything there is fun and interactive

The Rosa Parks bus is ours- The Henry Ford Museum

My grand~children just love learning at the Smithsonian. Lots to do, see and learn.
Great job guys!

My great-grandpa was a photographer for the US Navy for 40 years. Some of his pictures made it in here. Pretty cool.

What an expetience. So many museums, so little time.

I was able to understand the perspective of the United States during World War II. I learned that different positions have different ways of thinking.

This is pretty cool but all of the exibits are from the old times, I didnt come hear for a social studies lesson, who do you think I am, a social studies student LOL. get newer exibits like fortnite exhibits plz. - :)

I could spend weeks here. My favorite is the aerospace museum. The security guards need to chill out. They act like they're secret service. Cafeteria and food courts are OK.

time is what it takes to visit this complex of museums, which are a beautiful wonder, for the time visit only the air and space very beautiful, do not miss it and visit when you arrive in the capital of the United States / time is what it takes to visit this complex of museums, which are a beautiful wonder, for the time visit just the air and space very beautiful, do not miss it and visit when you arrive in the capital of the United States

i like smithsonian, its epic
:)

The castle is worth a quick stop. Good overview and map of all museums on the Mall. Clean bathrooms. Coffee is way overpriced... But it's DC, so no big surprise.

Awesome site in person. A lot sites and history here. Worth the visit for sure.

insulting
i wented there but i felt verry disrspected, i wanted to use thr bathroom but they only bathrooms WERE GENDER BINARY! i was forsed to use the womens room but they diddint have urnals, dont they know some women pee standingg up? also parts of the musem have confedriet flags. THIS IS TRUMP FALT.

is identical to how we see it in the movies, I love the construction, we did not have access to the vaults as pernsamos but it is incredible

the Smithsonian museums are great there will be a total of 20 museums and if you were to spend one minute looking at every single item that the Smithsonian it would take you to 282 years to see everything that's just a fun fact

The museum was amazing, but when I come down to get a snack I expected it to be a few dollars and was about $20, outrageous.

I would dedicate an entire day for this and the Holocaust Museum. Very inspiring experience.

From tiny tots to teens - will find something of interest at this eclectic museum. In fact, almost too much, but better more than less! I Loved it!

Best experience ever!. If you like history and want to know how this great country was found you must visit this place.

Best place to ever visit if you're here everyone needs to come and visit a good visit should take you at least a week vendors all over the place for food staffs always friendly and they always have something new

Superb place. Have been there several times and have enjoyed it every time.

A collection of buildings which united under the same institution form the largest museum in the world.

My rating is regarding all the staff. The museums are all wonderful. Spoke to 4 staff members for help. The first 2 did not speak English, AT ALL. The 3rd person rolled their eyes and huffed when I interrupted her convo with her fellow employee to ask for help. The employees congregate and take advantage of what is clearly a Cush job. Not only are they not qualified in so much as speaking they are rude and disrespectful. The ONLY people that were polite were the people wearing buttons that said Ask me and were right next to the display they were assisting with, they appeared to be volunteers.

I've enjoyed all the smithsonian museums even though in summer 2014 I couldn't see the trex from the movie

Mandatory visit for Washington tourists. Full of curiosities and unique aeronautical material in the world. Very educational for children and adults. We planned to see it in 2.5 hours and we were there for 5 hours. A very rewarding experience.

Visited when I was a child and it was awesome. Now that I see they have made a place for someone whose only claim to fame is being disrespectful to our flag, rather than the first Black Supreme Court Justice, I have cancelled my plans to visit again. Shame!

Absolutely gem of an institution. The place is an asset for whole of humanity - past and present. One could spend ages down here and barely scratch the surface. Thank you .

600 Maryland Ave SW, Washington, DC 20002, USA This address is not the address of the Smithsonian Institute. They have to correct that. Of course the museum is incredible !!!

Absolutely hands down the best museum I've ever been to. I feel like this is the sanctuary for world history, there is just so much to see!!

Great museum - must visit if you are in Washington.
