This is a powerful location to visit...... but you must see a show just not the museum. The theater is fascinating for its history but still fights for the recognition of the respect it deserves. The theater excels.

We went to see a perfomance of Hello Dolly in the evening which allows us free access to the museum while there. The museum was just so-so. The actual theatre was impressive until you realize that it was rebuilt due to a fire. Seats in the balcony were okay for the performance. It was an excellent way to spend a... More

Visited with ten students April 28 with timed tickets. Line forms on the sidewalk after each previous group goes in. No advantage to being at the front of the line since everyone gets in for the museum visit first. About 40 minutes in there with lots of Lincoln history to read and see. Doors open and you go into the... More

My family loved the tour of Ford's Theatre. Get your tickets online in advance from the U.S. Park Service and avoid the ticket line. Great tour and museum, talk led by the U.S. Park Service. Fascinating!

Ford's Theater was amazing but, having been there already I have heard what happened, so I fell asleep, my mom fell asleep, my teacher fell asleep and most of my classmates. But it is very educational and it was amazing to here about it for the time when I wasn't asleep.

Interesting and informative visit, didn't like having to wait in line twice - once for this and once for the house opposite where he died, despite having timed tickets. However, the guides in both venues were knowledgeable and this made up for it.

I was excited to go here, but it was a real let-down. I think I was expecting to at least hear a short speech in the theater. BUT NO. We waited in a 15 minute line, walked in... saw the place where he sat and that was it! There was a small museum before that, but we weren't in the... More

Yes we had a lot of fun visiting here and we were able to also go across the street and photograph things that we saw there as well. Ford's Theatre is an incredible experience and yes we have been there multiple times.

We purchased timed tickets online because we were only in town for 1 day and we didn't want to miss out. The tickets were free, but Ticket Master charges a service fee (boo) for buying them as well as a print-at-home fee, so our free tickets turned out to be $19. If we wanted the audio tour, it would have... More
