You might want to schedule this one at some time other than the school year. I've been here both during and after and I think the kids don't yet have a sense of the sweep of history before them in this place. You'll want to soak up the details and that can be hard if there are large groups buzzing... More

I didn't know anything about this museum before we went, but I found it to be very-well laid out, with interesting displays

If you are a news junkie, a history buff, or anybody with an appreciation of current events, you will like this museum. Try out the interactive newscast options. It's not as easy as you think!

So much to see in this attraction. A real education of how media works and effects our lives. Great gift store too.

This was my first visit to the Newseum since it moved to D.C. There was a special exhibit of Jackie Kennedy photos which I really liked. The exhibit of all the Pulitzer Prize photos was awesome! I wish we had another day to visit the Newseum and take our time. This is a place for adults, I believe. Children may... More

There is an entry fee, but it is good for 2 days...you could easily spend 1 1/2 days there. Pieces of the Berlin Wall, part of the antenna that was attached to the top of the World Trade Center building, recovered artifacts... More

Plan to spend most of a day in this fabulous place. We loved the complex look at news - how it is generated, how it affects people and societies, and the ability to review news, all past to present. The interactive areas are terrific, the commemorative areas are well done, the architecture is fascinating and the lunch was great!

Highly recommend a stop here - 6 floors of media compilation; newspapers, radio, comics, TV and videos - covers events of the past century - chronological presentation brings back memories of events in our lifetime - some special presentations like the "Kennedys" and the "FBI" were especially informative - The annual winning Pulitzer Photo awards section we thought was the...

Yes, virtually everything in D.C. is free so when a place charges for admission you might wonder if it's worth it... for the Newseum the answer is YES! A great place for kids and adults to learn about media and journalism. Lots of interactive displays, lots of fascinating info. Kids love it. Adults love it. It's not a 'look but... More
