I’m gonna be one of the rare ones with a bad review - and not just because they pack people through and it’s difficult to maneuver and read (was there 4 hours). Can also attest to the students runnin…Full review by Sara E

I went in september. not too hot not too cold. so i would pick a month either in spring or fall. Personally i would not drive. Parking is going to cost you. most hotel that have parking charge around $50 a day to park and driving around dc is a nightmare. i used uber to get around. I stayed at Hilton Garden Inn Washington DC/U.S. Capitol, 1225 First Street Ne, Washington DC, DC 20002-4274 Excellent hotel. Would stay there again. You don't need a guided tour at the holocaust museum. It is pretty self explanatory. It is four floors. I would recommend two days, two floors per day. If you go to Arlington National Cemetery, you can take the trolley around and they have a tour guide on the trolley that explains things. Food is expensive. $5.00 for a cup of hot tea. Hope this helps. Enjoy
We are three seniors traveling to DC for a short visit and the Holocaust Museum is one of our must see museums. I would like to know if it is possible to get day of tickets on 3/28
A:
This is a very sought after museum and it is probably best to book in advance.
