I was a headshot photographer The National Building Museum and took photos of a member of their staff. Everyone was kind and accommodating, from the security staff that greets everyone to the President whom was very approachable. The Notre Dame, Border Wall and Gun Violence exhibits were captivating. The museum was clean and parking was easy.

The new room exhibit on the second floor is interesting and cool to walk around. You can also go into the housing exhibit about living in the bomb development site during WW II, but that one isn't free.

Is the museum interesting for children 3yrs old?

Ladan Shapouri | Sep 30, 2018
Simone Krolikowski | Sep 30, 2018

The National Building museum I think is much more suitable for that age. They have hands-on rooms with soft building blocks and right now they have a fun house exhibit with a huge ball pit and things to climb on!

what does it cost to visit ONLY the fun house exhibit? they sell online tickets for $16 it stays that: Ticket includes access to all Museum exhibitions and one hour timed entry to Fun House. For exhibition-only tickets, purchase required on site.

Your ticket to fun house admits you to the rest of the museam. There are no tickets JUST to funhouse. The layout of the museam makes that impossible. Hope that helped!
