Best museum in DC by far. I am not sure how anyone could say there is not anything here. This is NOT a museum for children, though. There is a portion downstairs devoted to them but if they are old enough to read and/or comprehend, be very careful taking them here as anyone with any common sense would know, there... More

The museum is a great memorial to a dark time in history. The subject matter is emotionally difficult to deal with, so it is probably not suitable for young children (tweens and older okay). The museum is big, so plan a few hours to take it all in.

After visiting a few museum in Washington, I must say I was disappointed by this one a lot. I've seen a lot of movies on the subject, read a lot, researched and there wasn't anything new there. The interior decor is really interesting but I felt it wasn't use to it's fullest. I liked the section talking about genocide all... More

We liked it (as much as you can like something that depressing). Well presented. There is a lot of reading and a lot of info, so I don't think younger kids would get anything from it. Get tickets ahead of time so that you don’t have to go in the morning and wait in a long line in order to... More

If you plan on visiting the museum, go early and get your tickets. We picked up tickets at 9am but had a tour time of 1:15 to 2:15pm. Go ahead a plan for 2-3 hours to get the full experience of this museum. There are some images that are not appropriate for young children, but the museum does a good... More

There wasn't much there and mostly everything was something you had to pay for. We were very disappointed.

We only had a couple of hours to visit this Museum so we will definitely go back and spend more time. This is an incredible educational opportunity and a heartbreaking experience for anyone, but especially for people who very personally affected by the Holocaust. It did happen; it could happen again, please visit the museum and help to make sure... More

There's not a whole lot to say about this museum. It is very sad and very moving and excellently tells the story of a very difficult time in our world's history. I learned many things that I didn't know about the Holocaust and it was well wort the time, but it can be overwhelming. TIP: The museum is free but... More

Very hard to get in to the permanent exhibit March - August. Be sure and read the museum website on planning a visit. Either book tickets well in advance online or plan on standing in line starting about 8 a.m. and hope to get some of the reserved same day tickets when the museum opens at 10 a.m.
