We visited several of the Smithsonian museums while in Washington and the National Air and Space Museum was fantastic. It had something for all ages to see and was very educational. We spent a couple of hours in the museum, but could have stayed long.. Read more »er because there’s just that much to see. This and National Natural History Museum were the two best museums and they’re directly across the Mall from each other. Recommend you enter any of the museums your planning to visit from the street sides of the buildings (Constitution Ave for Natural History and Independence Ave for Space) versus the Mall side as the line ups to get in are much shorter. Definitely worth visiting while in Washington.

This is the wonderful story of Icarus narrated in a different way. The greatest epic, the most stunning adventure of the human species : how and when man began to fly and conquer space.

I forgot I was in a museum and thought I was at a family's house who collects massive realistic airplanes and space shuttles. All my friends and family learned so much and had so much fun, heck we even played in the simulator for a bit, what a time that was! Everyone in my group agree this is 5 stars! The gift shop was amazing and reasonably price. Would recommend for anyone, but sadly I must give it one star because some homeless man told me to, I'm sorry Mr. Smithsonian but I must give into the homeless person's needs before a rich mans. But I'm glad this place is free because their exhibits are too amazing to cost money! However this is the best museum I have ever been to, what an amazing trip!

The Wright Brothers area was so fascinating, I think I ready everything. Loved that the museum covered the history of flight all the way back to the bicycle.

A fantastic experience that we had here on our visit to the USA. A visit to the NASA museum is a must, especially when you are with kids. We visited the museum and enjoyed the 3D shows and it was the closest to being in space oneself. Our eight year .. Read more »old daughter thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Even we did too! The one feedback though was the lack of adequate seating in the museum, particularly if you happen to travel with slightly aged members in the group.
