A must visit exhibit if in DC. A harrowing experience that teaches you like never before the consequences of overlooking and allowing hate to spread in the world and politicians using fear as a tool. It starts with them giving you a leaflet of a person who went through the Holocaust. It is the world's second largest holocaust exhibit after the one in Israel. It starts with the history of Hitler's rise, his initial actions that led to the Holocaust and his other crimes such as killing the disabled and challenged. The exhibit also showcases the brave who risked it all to save those suffering and the people who tried to suppress them. There was a also an exhibit about the current torture of Rohingya Muslims in Burma.

Long lines to read exhibits, it's well done inside! Particularly like the acknowledgement of Roma as well as the new exhibit on Burma. But I wish there were more artifacts or if the exhibit walk through was more immersice like the WW2 museum in NOLA.

A great museum to learn more about the Holocaust. A lot of the story told is shown through photos, texts and items. Very important for everyone who already knows and is still learning or will learn about this part of history. A great museum to learn more about the holocaust.

Tickets are free but you may reserve your day and time online in advance for $1 a ticket . Otherwise you need go to the ticket booth beginning at 8am and hope you get a time slot for the day you want. I was told tickets are usually gone within the hour so I didn't chance it and got them online
It's actually not part of the Smithsonian institute. And the museum is free to enter. Depending on the time if the year you go you may need entrance tickets for the permenant exhibit. Online they will charge a service fee if you go in person they are free.
Walk-up tickets 🎟 are free and available on a first come first served basis. If you want a guaranteed time for entrance you may pre-purchase them for $1 online.
The Museum is open every day except Yom Kippur, September 19, 2018, and Christmas Day, December 25.
It will only take part of a day, but it may change the rest of your days.
If advance tickets are no longer available, be ready to try online at 6am that day. If that doesn't work, be in line by 7.
Free, online $1 to assure you of entrance as capacity is limited. Members can lock in time in advance. Give yourself time to queue as they send you up in batches. Recommend half a day if you want to get a good bite at the displays and short movies that tell the story. As with most museums there is a lot of walking.
Yes, but they should be prepared for what they will be seeing
I would contact the museum and ask them about commeration about Holocaust survivors. Good luck!
There is Metro station near by. Would park away from the mall area and use the Metro.
Yes, and sometimes the busses are able to wait.
You can have them scan them on your phone.
only a coat check. no luggage.
Yes, just it is helpful to reserve your ticket online, rather than walk up
Yes there are artifacts that were retrieved from the concentration camps and there are replicas of certain artifacts as well
Most of the museum is free, but there's an exhibit that you need to pay for if you want to see it
It's wheel Chai accessible, I don't know what a scooter is, but you can get to the 2nd and 3rd level on elevators
We parked at the SP+/portals parking garage. You have to walk about 2 blocks. Not very far, nice parking too.
Yes and you should get there early. You have to go through security.
Try online in a visit Washington d.c website or there website
Yes there is. It's mentioned but it's level of detail could be improved on IMHO
Yes the Museum is open today
No, they are closed until further notice.
The museum is currently closed, you can get daily updates at USHMM.com
Before making any reservations I suggest to call the museum. I was recently in DC and the holocaust museum was closed. Even though online it said it was opened.
Not that I was aware of. I was able to take my daughter who was 15 at the time.
They have many books for sale. As for specific items I think you would need to go yourself.
Yes 10-5: 30
No but it is wheelchair accessible.
They have an office on site to assist with this.
There is a display with lots of info on Anne Frank. Did not see a show
They also give out same day tickets. For that you have to do one of the 2 things. 1. Buy online- everyday 6 am there website sells permanent exhibition tickets. I went to their website at 6 but wasn't able to book, the ticket booking opened at about 6.10 instead. It will cost you 1USD for each ticket. 2. Be at the museum by 9.45 am. Here you'll get the tickets for free. There are other things to see besides the permanent exhibition, and for them you don't need a ticket. They are good too. Certain people- veterans, etc. Don't require a ticket. Permanent exhibition has 3 floors, so make sure you give each floor enough time. I spent most of my time on the first level itself, so had to rush through other floors as museum's closing time approached.
It is part of it one is about 1 mile apart but some are closer
Try this: Www.ushmm.org/online/form/contact-the-museum/input.
We lucked out got same day tickets. I would take a chance. Could be lucky like me. We went right in.
You should go to the museum, do some research, then teach those who have your question.
Yes, but tickets are $1 online.
Only if its a service dog
Public parking on the street is limited and can be difficult to find. The largest parking garage somewhat close is in the Ronald Reagan Building on 14th st on the other side of the mall.
It just depends on they day. You could look on the website to see what survivors they have scheduled to speak.
We ordered our tickets (11 of them) at 6 AM the day we visited. We did it online. Much easier than waiting in line.
You don't need a ticket to enter the museum
No, I don't remember being asked for any documents or passport. If you bring a bag, it will be searched when entering through security, though, so keep that in mind when visiting.
Yes, to both. Your bag will be searched upon entry, but that is it.
It depends on the day of the week, and the time of year. Typically, weekends during the busy season are near impossible to enter without an advance ticket, and any holidays or special events taking place can make the museums busier.
No cuesta nada It doesn't cost anything.
Free
There is a cafe for the museum with it own separate entrance, I'm not sure if you can access it from within the museum.
Yes, this museum is a smithsonian so admission is free so enter and leave at your leisure. You may though have to wait in line for entrance depending on when you visit.
Donations are always appreciated since there is no entry fee. They are some of the best museums in the world.
We took the metro to the mall
You could spend 4hrs in there if you read everything but if you just walk through it probably 90minutes
I do not think there is onsite parking there . Most DC garages charge $25 and the highest is $35
We parked at Pentagon City Mall and rode the metro from there. It's pretty cheap and the metro is on the bottom floor of the mall.
September of nect year
We stayed at a hotel and walked everywhere. There are parking garages downtown. I would do some research ahead of time for these.
Tickets are free. Some exhibits dont require a ticket at all. The main floors of the museum requires a timed ticket, no cost. You can get in advance or just show up and wait in line.
You can enter with one, it would just be respectful to put it away
It's free but they only give out a certain amount of tickets a day
Definitely park at a Metro station and get off at the Smithsonian station. It's an easy 1 block walk south from there. Parking at garages in the area is $20+ for the time it takes to go through the Holocaust museum.
I went online the night before. You pick you time based on what is available. The re is a servise charge for getting them online - $2.00. ONE TIME not each ticket Also you or whoever you are with is a veteran there are tickets readily available at the INFORMATION DESK in the museum.
Unfortunately you have to leave it outside.
Colonial Parking between 11th and 12th
Moving. If you walk through this and come out the same on the other side then you walked too fast. Not scary, I think kids will learn a lot from this and hopefully it will help them to understand that there is evil in this world and recognize that they have a responsibility to fight it and those that can't fight for themselves.
n
Never heard of it.
You can get them online ahead of time, there is a convenience fee, but it's cheap. Or, you can go to the desk once you get past security and ask for tickets there.
As soon as possible. They will announce closing ahead of time and out of respect, you would leave before they close officially.
Scan works nowadays
Tickets are free. However, there are a limited amount given out on the day of and you can not purchase in advanced. If you buy tickets on line (day of visit) there is an electronic fee of $1 per ticket, and you want to be on at 6 a.m because they do go FAST.
Yes. But should check with them regarding the permanent exhibit also
Tickets are only required for the permanent exhibit. Otherwise you can go in with no ticket. Online tickets are $1 & go on sale at 6am. You pretty much have to get on right away at 6 or they will run out. Or they give tickets out at the museum for free at 9:45 daily, but they get snatched up quickly too.
It's pretty spacious. If you don't have permanent exhibit tickets, it will probably take you an hour and a half. The permanent exhibit could take several hours but it's self guided.
Yes, it's free for everyone now. It used to be free for military and cost a small amount for everyone else, but now it is free for all.
3-4 hours to quickly go over everything in the museum, but you could easily spend upwards of 6, 7, 8 hours to fully go over everything there. There is tons to enjoy.
It is free no tickets needed just a bag check
Yes to reserve tickets. You can show up and if they are not to busy you can still tour. There are a couple exhibits yiu can visit without a ticket.
If you want to explore and really pay attention to the different exhibits it will take from 3 to 4 hours.
It's free but call or ahead
No. But during peak seasons, the summer, you have to reserve online. Through their website.
They do not give you entrance ticket .. You only get to the museum and the entrance is free .. This is great
You get 2 keep them. My daughter & I were there this past wknd all the way from Shreveport, LA. We go up there EVERY YEAR w/ my father 4 the Marine Corps Marathon & we've never done the Holocaust Museum until now &.......I had 2 pass a lot of exibits & go fast through the tour because it was just 2 much 4 my heart 2 handle 💔😢 BUT....I'm sooo glad we finally experienced it because my 17 year old daughter & 24 yr d son are right......the way the government is headed & ALREADY COMMITTING ACTS OF SIMILAR TERRIBLE THINGS DONE 2 PEOPLE & FAMILIES IN THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS & ROUNDING PEOPLE UP & SINGLING PEOPLE OUT & NO MATTER IF YOUR POOR or IF YOU LIVE IN A MANSION or SUBURBAN GATED COMMUNITY, that's why when you go through the museum, on everything at the gift shop, all the pamphlets at the information desk, it says.."NEVER AGAIN"
Definitely won't recommend taking children to this place
The research section can help you, as can organizations in Israel, if you have an idea about name(s).
Rear entrance
I would take the metro. Parking is free at metro garages and service is good. I usually parked at Huntington or Springfield.
According to inform available at the museum, it is open except Yom Kippur and Christmas.
To get inside, no ticket needed to enter. However, the main exhibit is a $5 or $10 ticket. It was inexpensive as i remember.
You can order tickets online for a dollar. Otherwise tickets are free at the door.
