No free masks, security and museum employees were rude.

Great free museum, especially to take older kids (mine were 11 and 15). Building is very nice, staff were very friendly and helpful. Plan to spend about two hours.

I called before we went to see if they required covid-19 vaccine cards (online it said we may need it). The lady seemed very put out that I was asking that. The check in process consisted of having your car searched, showing ID multiple times, going through metal detectors. The security guards were not very friendly, they seemed like they didn't like kids being there. Once in the exhibit a worker stopped my children to tell them not to touch things (which they were not doing). Although the museum is nice for an adult audience, not at all centered for children or youth. My children found it extremely boring. It would be nice if there was something for children to see or touch. I was hoping for more than just reading posters on the wall. It would have been more interesting to watch a documentary online.

Well worth the free entry. The museum consists of two floors of exhibits, one rotating and one fixed.

Depends on how you usually go through a museum. If you were to read EVERYTHING it would probably take over 4 hours. Its 2 levels and has a lot of information about the recent ebola outbreak and other epidemics from the organization's history. I think a half day would be a comfortable amount of time.
It's free admission, but you will need to go through some rigorous security when you enter!
Interestingly, I think this may be the only museum I've been to without a gift shop. It's all about the knowledge with this one.
Hello Karla, The museum closed in March of 2020 when most of CDC's workforce began to telework in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. CDC staff is in the process of a phased return to the in-person working and we are happy to report that the museum will reopen on May 2, 2022. Thanks! CDCM Staff
I brought my carry on bag and I just had to have it checked and then they let me carry it through the museum. I called ahead to make sure it was okay. Yes need a passport. And heads up uber drivers have to show ID to the gate person.
