I was worried because we didn't have advance tix. We arrived at about 9:45 (they open at 10), the line was around the building but moved very quickly when they started passing out tix. We got to the front of the line and were told someone had just turned in 2 tix for 10 am entrance. We were thrilled! The... More

The Holocaust museum is one of the best in DC. It gives a good understanding of the 'Why' and 'How' and draws a line from the Holocaust to current issues and genocides elsewhere. The outline of the exhibition, the images and artefacts shown are well picked and I can definetely recommend this as one of the must-see museums in DC.

After reading the Diary of Anne Frank in school, my 12 year old daughter wanted to visit this museum on our tip to DC. We got our passes and only had to wait an hour before entering the exhibit. The time was easily spent going through the children's exhibit and the museum store. We spent over 3 hours in the... More

This is the 3rd time I have been to this museum and it makes me emotional every time. Incredibly moving displays and stories create a connection to events and makes one feel tied to learning. It's exceptional.

Make sure you don't buy a coke or water from the truck vendor outside because you will have to get out of line and throw it away. And Pictures is a... More

We actually didn't get to go here. We thought that we could get a pass that day, but discovered that people line up early in the morning to get in and the passes that they distribute can only be used a certain times. Getting up at 7 am to get a pass to go in at 10 am didn't appeal... More

This was very moving. We spent 3 hours inside and we could of spent another 2. We had 2 younger kids and they slightly understood the importance of the events. Liked that the videos that were too detailed for the kids eyes they had blocked by walls.

Not for the highly sensitive, but a fantastic experience that every person should have at least once in their life. Very very well done, really helps you to understand the emotional and very physical aspects of the Holocaust, as well as the political/social reasons behind this atrocious event in history.
