“A fun interlude! We enjoyed exploring the many secret rooms and fun antiques and collectibles. The thematically decorated rooms and suites were a pleasure to explore, if a bit claustrophobic. :) We found the secret wine tasting room, but did not find any of the tinkerbell-sized cubbies. Next time.Noteworthy detailsMost of the curiosities are for sale! Some are affordable.”

“Not sure how to describe this place... but if you're not into weird, wacky or random things, then the Mansion is not for you.It is a very quirky museum come hotel come antique store. We got tickets for $30 per person. It was fun exploring and walking through all the different themed rooms - a lot of the items in the mansion are very random (and on sale). There is some really cool history here - for example, Rosa Parks stayed at the Mansion for a while... as have some musicians. We had a chance to meet the owner when we first got in, and her whole life story is was very interesting to hear about.Not sure that there are many places like this in the world, so if you have a chance to visit I would recommend it. We spent about 1.5 hours here, but you certainly don't need that much time (45mins to an hour would suffice).They do have a bar and allow you to carry drinks around (if purchased from them).”

“Really unique attraction. You cannot see everything in one visit! Relaxed, artist, crazy. Lots of fun.”

P.W LMSW on May 12, 2025 said:

“This place was spectacular. I enjoyed every moment of my visit here. There's so much to see and do. We spent a little over 3 hours here. I was amazed at every turn in the museum. This is a place I would definitely come again. This should definitely be a bucket list place to visit.”

Pikachu on May 12, 2025 said:

“Americans rate 5 stars for "experience was alright. Things worked."Many other countries say 5 stars when experiences genuinely go beyond expectations, leaving one's mouth agape. This museum falls into the latter category.I cannot express how unique, beautiful, creative, joyful, and exciting this place is.This is not a museum where you stop and read plaques. This is where you get to touch and hold unique pieces of Americana, stop and talk with your group about the impacts of various different historical figures, and if you feel so inclined you might even purchase a piece of the museum.”

Chris Derzak on May 12, 2025 said:

“Museum: Go early. You will need time to digest this place. It is amazing. O coexists as a functioning guest house and museum. Be sure to start with the app. We lucked out with a very close street parking spot.”

Jade Tellez on May 12, 2025 said:

Maureen Smith on May 12, 2025 said:

“It was a very fun experience for my husband, myself, and my grown adult son. We had chosen the museum for something different to do. It certainly met that expectation and more. We found eleven doors but will return one day to seek out more. ”

Michael L Rich on May 5, 2025 said:

“Wonderful experience. So many things to see and loved all of the secret passages. Staff was also great.”

Desiree on May 3, 2025 said:

“This place is awesome! Can not give enough stars. Took my kids ages 16,13 and 8 and all of them enjoyed searching for the hidden doors, as well as my husband and I. We were able to find 18 doors, which took us 3 hours. So much fun!!!A must see attraction when visiting DC”

Jacqueline Tibbetts on Apr 29, 2025 said:

“I had no idea what to expect, or what a hidden door might manifest as. It was delightful to meet 'H'! She is obviously one of the treasures, and it was so cool to be able to ask her a couple of questions. I will come again and take more time to watch the stories on the screens. Might consider staying a night just for fun! Thank you! ”

Austin Crockett from Mystery Incorporated, on Apr 27, 2025 said:

“Such an amazing experience. It was so cool to check out the secret doors, seeing where they all lead. It was very neat. Not to mention the Elvis stuff you all got in the wine cellar Though I feel you all might wanna sell Elvis merchandise. He's my favorite singer afterall”

Anne Campbell on Apr 21, 2025 said:

“My 16-year-old granddaughter had this museum on her "must do" list. We visited on Easter Sunday and had a ball - so interesting and fun. We even found something in one of the rooms that we had to buy to take home with us - it will be a wonderful, well-loved keepsake from this visit. The introductory video was helpful, as were the docents. We were glad that we took an early tour, as it was getting very crowded by the time we left - the hidden doors weren't so hidden with so many people coming and going. We will definitely come back and we are highly recommending the O Museum to friends and family! Thanks for a great experience!”

Frankie on Apr 21, 2025 said:

“We really enjoyed our visit. While we only found 18 hidden doors, we loved the hunt. I'm trying to find a place in our home for the print called Blue Chairs but alas it doesn't look good. Overall a fun afternoon and thanks for recommending Larry's for ice cream, that was a real treat!”

Alison Ibanez on Apr 19, 2025 said:

“I loved the experience! It was fun and engaging. I wish there was a list of all the rooms we can explore and secret doors just so I could keep track of them all. Definitely will go again! ”

Maria Macias on Apr 17, 2025 said:

“Honestly, this was the best activity my mother and I did while in Washington, DC. We were inside for 3hrs and still so much to see. Every detail, every item, was incredible. Definitely coming back with my children. ”

Jose on Apr 12, 2025 said:

“The Mansion on O street was such a fun experience. It was almost overwhelming how much there was to see and trying to find the secret doors was so much fun. Every time a door was found it was like discovering a secret no one else knew about. The staff was also incredibly kind and helpful. I want to bring every person I know to experience the Mansion.”

Melinda on Apr 9, 2025 said:

“We had a blast and our 13yr old son was better at finding the doors! Fun experience, thank you!”

Marianne on Apr 9, 2025 said:

“Preteen kids loved it. One time on this trip where parents were sitting at door asking if we could go unlike all of DC museums where kids were sitting at door asking if we could go. ”

Try Onaghise-Coburn from US House of Representatives, on Apr 5, 2025 said:

“This was Great! My Niece was home from College and she enjoyed it immensely!”

Valecia Thompson on Apr 2, 2025 said:

“This was a husband and wife date. We really enjoyed challenging each other at finding the most doors, He was the winner of course. We spent two hours inside ONLY due to the near by 2hour parking meters and the no re-entry into the museum. We had to leave WAY before we wanted to (so sad). I REALLY wish we had more time, because while exploring we saw stairs we thought we would come back to only to never find them again LOL. With that being said I know we missed lots of rooms which of course works for the museum we HAVE to revisit, only finding 8 of the possible 70+ makes me want to explore again and again. ”

Erin on Apr 1, 2025 said:

“My daughter and I had a BLAST. The staff was so friendly and helpful, the house is absolutely gorgeous. I couldnt have asked for a better family-friendly activity. This exhibit is a must-see when traveling to DC. Thank you for everything!! ”

Bradie on Mar 30, 2025 said:

“Lovely!!!! Wish there were less people. Also which you guys had postcards or magnets that weren't 10$ Friendly staff super cool ”

Timothy Wallace on Mar 25, 2025 said:

“My daughter and I had an amazing time. The app was also fun to use and explore. ”

Sean Johnson on Mar 25, 2025 said:

“My son and I really enjoyed the experience of looking for secret doors. We found 24 but he wished we could have found more. I enjoyed the eclectic and quixotic nature of the different rooms. We enjoyed exploring a place dedicated to the experience of discovery. ”

Melinda on Mar 23, 2025 said:

“So much fun and great for all ages. Will visit again.”

Nancy Abramowitz on Mar 23, 2025 said:

“Thank you for an extraordinary special birthday dinner. Everything was perfect. Food was wonderful. Service was wonderful. And, of course, venue is wonderful. Thanks again. And thanks to HH!!!Nancy Abramowitz and Mark EllenbergSent from my iPhone”

“It was a bit warm on the upper floors but a fun experience for sure. ”

David on Mar 22, 2025 said:

“great fun, we didn't have enough time!”

Judith Leann Kruger on Mar 19, 2025 said:

“Amazing! Surprising! Fun and challenging!”

Jennifer on Mar 17, 2025 said:

“Very eclectic and unique experience. Not a typical cerebral art museum, definitely not a bland hotel, but an exciting kaleidoscope of color, art, kitschy decor and topsy turvy maze fun! You are welcomed to an instructional presentation from the moment you walk through the front (and very first) door, directed to elevator bank and the restrooms on the main floor as the bathrooms in the upper floors are the unique bathrooms to the hotel/tour should you wish to book a stay in one of these themed rooms. Once you are let loose, you may explore and browse the items all around you as most of it can be purchased as a donation to the museum should you wish to bring a relic back home after the fun! Finding the secret doors is a lot of fun and reminds one of an escape room experience and there are stair wells and secret turns behind a lot of what you see! The Chucky Room (which we did need help to find) was hilarious and delightfully scary. Highly recommend for event/family/friend fun! ”

Rachel Mattson on Mar 17, 2025 said:

“We attended on Girl Scout Day. My teenagers found the crowds overwhelming at times, but due to the nature of the mansion, we were always able to find a quiet spot to sit down and chill for a bit until they were both ready to return to exploring. We all agree that we'd love to come back and see if we can find more of the doors and secret compartments (the "doors" for tinkerbell). We found 18 but at least 5 of those were from other people coming through them as we approached. If we come again we're going to bring a notebook so we can keep a running tally of some of the things we spot. Next time we will also bring our lunch with us to eat in the garden. We didn't realize that was an option and left our picnic in the car to eat on the way home.We were a little disappointed that half of the garden was inaccessible due to the repairs needed to the pool, but we commend the staff for ensuring that safety of guests was a priority. Perhaps in the future some restructuring can take place to allow additional points of entry to the garden to avoid this issue. It would also have been nice if the introductory video, or the guide at the entrance, mentioned the buttons throughout the exhibit that could be pushed for information about the displays. Given the eclectic nature of the museum, we didn't realize that those were functional until we were about half way through our explorations. A mention of them and the need to be quiet enough to hear them, could go a long way towards making busy group days like Girl Scout Day more pleasant for everyone. Sometimes chaperones need guidance like that to be able to "blame" the need for quieter behaviour on the event when encouraging their charges to be respectful of others. Overall it was an outing we enjoyed and we heartily recommend it to others. ”

Antoine Khan on Mar 10, 2025 said:

“I completed the Secret Door experience with my daughter. We had a great time searching for secret doors and treasure hunting. Each room was unique and engendered different emotions. There was so much to see for anyone of all ages. It was truly entertaining. ”

Sabre Jamison on Mar 7, 2025 said:

“I did the regular secret door experience and it was such a whimsical adventure! Wandering into rooms and stumbling upon boardgames, puzzles, and random conversations was the best. It's also completely self-paced so you can 100% choose how to spend your time. The only downside was that the items you could buy were extremely expensive. Other than that it was so much fun to accidently stumble upon rooms and entire hallways. The Halloween room was my favorite. Not a very repeatable experience but would 100% recommend.”

Angie Moore on Mar 3, 2025 said:

“Outstanding experience ”

Sheri Tardio on Mar 2, 2025 said:

“So much fun! We loved finding hidden doors and seeing the collection of objects everywhere! My only complaint is that some guests left secret doors open after finding them. Perhaps a word to guests during the orientation asking people to close the doors so that others may find them. ”

Jeffrey Gaona (Jeff Gaona) on Mar 1, 2025 said:

“Had a great time here! Super super super unique and fun activity! More than an average museum and a lot more interactive. When you want a fun, not too tiring but also engaging fun activity to do with friends or family. Come here!”

Beth Karawan on Mar 1, 2025 said:

“Thank you so much! Staying here was fantastic - exploring the museum was amazing and the bed was super comfy! ”

Ashley Wedmore from Cornerstone Lutheran Church, on Feb 25, 2025 said:

“We had a wonderful experience. Everyone really enjoyed touring the museum- so many wish we had more time to explore. The food was wonderful, and the service was great as well! ”

Michelle on Feb 19, 2025 said:

“If you're looking for a quirky, unique, and downright fun experience in Washington, D.C., then the O Street Museum is a must-visit! We had such a blast exploring this eccentric spot, and it was truly an adventure from start to finish.One of the coolest things about the museum is the scavenger hunt-like atmosphere. The place is full of hidden doors and secret rooms---literally! We spent so much time exploring, trying to find all of them. It was like playing a grown-up game of hide and seek, and we loved every minute of it!The vibe of the museum is a mix of a thrift store meets an antique shop. You'll find everything from vintage furniture and retro knick-knacks to one-of-a-kind treasures. It's the kind of place where you can lose track of time, discovering unique items and quirky decor in every corner. It felt like stepping back in time, surrounded by history and nostalgic treasures.And if you're in the mood for a little friendly competition, don't miss out on the game room! We played a fun round of pool, and then decided to go for a classic game of Yahtzee. Overall, the O Street Museum is one of those places that's full of charm, surprises, and a lot of personality. Whether you're a history buff, a fan of antiques, or just looking for something different in D.C., this museum delivers a truly unique experience. Highly recommend it for anyone who loves quirky spots with a lot of character!”

Jennifer on Feb 19, 2025 said:

“I thought the experience was fun, like going antiquing! It was also exciting to explore a part of d.c. history. My only complaint was the climate control. It was overly warm and stuffy in most of the rooms I saw. I still can see myself hosting or attending a future event here”

Tim Brady on Feb 18, 2025 said:

“Met another family and brought our 4 (total) kids between the ages of 5 and 13. Everyone, including the adults, loved the O Street Mansion. Amazingly cool shrine to creativity.”

Tricia Stefanko on Feb 17, 2025 said:

“My husband and I absolutely loved this entire experience. We definitely will be back. This is a very special place that deserves all the love that has gone into it. Every employee was so kind and so helpful. My only "suggestion" is to possibly make the drink tickets eligible for the individual snack bags. That was my only qualm. Thank you so much for this special place”

Jeff Davis on Feb 16, 2025 said:

“Te museum was very cool. It is a very eclectic collection of rooms filled with even more eclectic items ths seems random, but fit well together. I love the history connected to the mansion as well. Being able to be in the same place that the wonderful Rosa Parks lived in for a bit, was an amazing feeling. I would definitely recommend you plane to be there at least 3 hours to be able to explore and appreciate this mansion.”

Denise Hamilton on Feb 16, 2025 said:

“I thought the place was great and a lot to see but I would have preferred less people in at one time because some stairs and passages were quite narrow for the amount of people passing through.”

John Steele on Feb 16, 2025 said:

“Awesome ”

Nancy on Feb 15, 2025 said:

“It was so flipping fun to tour the Mansion! I spent about three hours there and would have stayed longer but my head was about to explode with all the visual treats. This experience is good for anyone between the ages of about 5 to any age (although decent mobility helps). So, so fun.”

Lacey Rimoli on Feb 9, 2025 said:

“I'm a huge vintage and art fan, so walking through the property, my mouth was open the entire time with awe. We stayed for 2 hours and found 15 doors, my son wanted to find them all. I wanted to stay hours longer. ”

Roberta Baskin on Feb 6, 2025 said:

“Once again, I'm savoring more magical and musical moments at the Mansion! ”

Frank Robert Onolfi on Feb 6, 2025 said:

“Ted was great. Very unique experience.”

Summer Tatum on Feb 3, 2025 said:

“I am a bit of an empath, so the experience was overwhelming, but in the best way. I felt the mission, the important conversations, the people who stayed and worked there... the rooms most certainly speak to you if you listen. I also felt safe there and welcomed. As a black woman born into extreme poverty, I don't feel safe in America. Everyday feels like a silent, but violent, battle. It's exhausting. I cried so much... it was a beautiful release, and I look forward to spending much more time there.”

Sera Hyjek on Feb 3, 2025 said:

“My 5 year old was so excited but became fearful once we got started. The staff was so kind and supportive. They allowed us to sit and color and reset for a long time and even brought my son a treat to cheer him up. After a bit, we were able to ease him into the experience and he LOVED IT! Thank you so much! ”

Lee on Feb 1, 2025 said:

“Perfect way to spend hours of exploring”

John S on Jan 27, 2025 said:

“Super interesting tour.Took my 15 year old child for a Sunday afternoon.We started on the top floor and made our way down to the kitchen and wine cellar. I think we saw just about every room including the "Chucky Room". Whoa-that was spooky. It was 2 hours of super fun exploration and fascinating history lessons. Rosa Parks lived here! It was surreal to stand in her room! ”

Maribeth on Jan 27, 2025 said:

“This home is amazing! We were there for nearly 2 hrs and definitely could have stayed longer/walked through again. What a clever way to walk back in time and explore an historic home. We were able to find 13 of the hidden doors, and want to go back to find more. ”

Katelyn Willis on Jan 21, 2025 said:

“A bit overpriced, but worth it if you like puzzles and adventures. We stopped on a last minute tour and it was interesting to say the least.”

G E on Jan 21, 2025 said:

“Very unique experience. We haven't stayed at the hotel but walked through and shopped in the museum. It's over stuffed and can satisfy each taste. Good entertainment for teens during the holidays. They were having fun to discover about 17 hidden doors and look through some antiques.Walkability: It's in the heart of DC and can be walkable to any center destination.”

John McNicholas on Jan 21, 2025 said:

“It is overwhelming to just find all of the rooms. We spent at least 1.5 hrs. You could be in there for an entire day! It is worth the admission.”

Jason Kennedy on Jan 21, 2025 said:

“.”

Rebecca Z Fox on Jan 21, 2025 said:

“We didn't stay at the hotel, just visited the museum, and it was awesome! I wish that we had allotted more time to spend here(we had about an hour and a half before another planned activity), but we will definitely be back! We came as a group of 7 (4 adults and 3 kids ages 10-16)We had to split into small groups but we kept coming back across each other and swapping buddies and still got a little lost and definitely did not see all the rooms Every single one of us loved it and wanted to go back!”

Michelle Reuble from Colleague Consulting , on Jan 20, 2025 said:

“Everyone had an amazing time, thank you so much for making our holiday party not only a wonderful event, but also seamless for me to set up!”

Becca Moore on Jan 20, 2025 said:

“Stuff everywhere super interesting definitely recommend, if you come to DC it's a must do! 10000/10!!”

Erin McIntyre on Jan 20, 2025 said:

“Most likely, the coolest and most interesting places to visit in Washington. DC.”

Jenni Nichols on Jan 20, 2025 said:

“So fun! So interesting! So much to see! Nicest girl worked there too (Alisha?). Loved her!”

Carolyn Turpin on Jan 16, 2025 said:

“Loved it! Beautiful house and decor. I will bring all my DC visitors here now.”

Dave Jones from retired, on Jan 9, 2025 said:

“A great walk through that triggered many memories from my childhood and it was wonderful to be able to experience it with my daughter. We will definitely be back.”

Nicole Ives on Jan 7, 2025 said:

“Very fun museum! My only complaint is there is so.much.stuff everywhere - some of it expensive and fragile so, I was always on alert and worried about knocking something over/breaking something. I brought my tween daughter and she had fun - but I imagine bringing younger kids would be really nerve-wracking. Overall, though, it was fun.”

Malissa Winograd on Dec 30, 2024 said:

“Our kids are 6, 12, and 14 and everyone found something to love about the secret door tour. It was such fun and a great way to spend an afternoon.”

Michael Gerber on Dec 26, 2024 said:

“Super fun experience. Brought back so many memories looking at all of the exhibits and so fun to discover secret doors. Would love to return to see more. Thank you!”

Janice Dodd from Essential Media Partnera, on Dec 25, 2024 said:

“It was absolutely wonderful. The staff and Docents could not have been nicer or more efficient!! My three guests had not visited the Mansion before, so it was their first time....and they all three were so enthralled and loved the occasion....thanks to everyone, Ted and H.....we loved it!!”

Zhanae Murgia-Hobbs on Dec 23, 2024 said:

“This was so fun and awesome to learn about the secrets and history of the mansion! Took my partner here for his 26th birthday and we did the treasure hunt. He absolutely loved the experience and so did I!”

Geoff Martiny from USAging, on Dec 19, 2024 said:

“The experience at the Mansion on O Street for USAging's Retreat and Holiday Party was excellent and better than we could have expected. The atmosphere and setup for the retreat and Holiday Party was superb. The USAging staff gushed about everything, the food, the tour, and atmosphere. Planning the event with Madison was breeze and I would wholeheartedly recommend the Mansion on O Street for your next event.”

Nick Buffie on Dec 16, 2024 said:

“This experience was an absolute blast! The Mansion on O is extremely quirky and charming. It's got an old, historic feel to it, and the place is littered with decades- or centuries-old items. The house feels like something out of a James Bond movie. Definitely a fun experience!”

Matthew Maichuk on Dec 12, 2024 said:

“You have something magical here. It's not just "Hey, weird doors" it's something transporting. Everyone there wants to be there. Everything there fits because its purpose is known and yet everything feels like an extra puzzle piece in the box when the puzzle is already complete. I can't praise this place enough.”

LaVerne Anenia on Dec 10, 2024 said:

“We had colleagues visiting from our NY and California offices so we wanted to do something unique and special. The Mansion on O Street as an event space that they will never forget! We had such a wonderful time and the bonus was that the food was absolutely amazing, the service was top notch, and the chef was unforgettable! Thank you!”

CJ on Dec 8, 2024 said:

“Was told by relatives to stop by while visiting in DC. We like history so decided to give it a try and were equally impressed with history and culture of days gone by and enjoyed the secret door hunt too.Staff go over and explain all the rules for what to expect and what not to do Liked that they have adult beverages.”

Kateryna Bondar from McFadyen Digital, on Dec 6, 2024 said:

“We recently hosted our corporate event at Mansion O, and it was an incredible experience! The treasure hunt activity was engaging and perfectly organized, adding a fun and interactive element that the entire team thoroughly enjoyed.A special shout-out to Madison, who went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Her professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. The entire Mansion O team, including the servers and bartender, were exceptional and contributed to making our event truly memorable.Thank you, Mansion O, for such a fantastic evening. ”

Ainsley Warmuth on Dec 5, 2024 said:

“We loved the experience and had the pleasure of meeting and talking to H. The only suggestion I have is to consider noting that the Champagne Tour is self guided.”

Milne A. Young on Dec 1, 2024 said:

“This was such a unique experience. Both the adults and teenagers had a great time looking through all the rooms and for the secret doors!”

Alexandra Beschorner on Dec 1, 2024 said:

“The museum is so cool and we could have spent hours and hours exploring. The staff were all so kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. We found 13 doors, but we'll definitely be back to find the rest!”

Natalie J Chapin on Nov 25, 2024 said:

“We enjoyed our visit.”

Laurie Keeno on Nov 24, 2024 said:

“Finding secret doors and hidden themed rooms was lots of fun! Loved entering the raffle for our favorite tree ornaments. The staff were nice and helpful.”

Cathy Wright on Nov 18, 2024 said:

“Had such a great time! We were completely lost and loved every minute of it. The entire mansion is filled with knick-knacks and memorabilia. Looking through things was fun and it was so cool you could buy things. We found about 8 doors and Rosa Parks' room, which is very meaningful. Highly recommend!”

Dave on Nov 18, 2024 said:

“We came for the Lez Zeppelin show and came early to check out the mansion. We were not disappointed. In addition to all the quirky rooms, we were surprised to find a bluegrass group playing in the courtyard. The show itself was fantastic and the staff were extremely helpful with questions and directions. It was a great evening for us all. ”

Aaron Pressman on Nov 18, 2024 said:

“We had a blast exploring the mansion and trying to find the secret doors. I don't think we even covered half of what was there to see. We will definitely be back!”

Amorita Gharib on Nov 18, 2024 said:

“Great organized tour, super friendly staff!!!”

Susan Hall on Nov 17, 2024 said:

“My daughter (Susan Hall) along with her daughter and my older sister celebrated my 79th birthday by visiting your museum. From the moment we arrived the staff went above and beyond to ensure that we experienced an exceptional and truly memorable experience. ”

ALEAH FULLER on Nov 15, 2024 said:

“We had a great time at the mansion, there was sooooo much to look at. We only found a handful of these secret doors and most were by mistake of other people entering the room while we were in there. The time flies and before we knew it another group was coming in before our group was finished which was the first negative I would report. The second is the 25 cent bag of chips are being sold for $4 and drinks are sold for I believe $13, please eat and drink before you get here or bring water with you. The hallways are narrow and some rooms are tight to go in and come out of when there are 3-4 other people coming in that same door. Overall we enjoyed it!”

Samantha Wilkerson on Nov 15, 2024 said:

“Will definitely come back to find the rest of the secret doors! Love the history and pop culture items and the themes of the room! My only suggestion would be to lower some prices :) ”

Erin M Gault from Keiter CPA, on Nov 11, 2024 said:

“Our group of 7 had a great time! This was on the bucket list of several individuals, and it did not disappoint. Two thumbs up from everyone!”

Yuliya Zhinzherova on Nov 10, 2024 said:

“Very cool, unique and eclectic place. We truly enjoyed our visit ”

Lilly on Nov 9, 2024 said:

“So fun to get lost in the mansion. I can see how you could come back many times and still see something new every time. Really enjoyed finding 7 of the secret doors and can't believe that there are so many more! ”

Zee on Oct 29, 2024 said:

“I went with my family to a Secret Door event and we had a great time. My grown nephew was extremely proud of himself for finding so many of the doors and the wows what were on the other side or what was stored in them. The employees were present just in case we had questions. A few times I feel like they just appeared.It was so funny. They were very polite and professional. We really enjoyed our time at the mansion. ”

Elaine Berish on Oct 28, 2024 said:

Allison on Oct 24, 2024 said:

Kristen Clements on Oct 23, 2024 said:

“The Mansion is magical. My 10 year old daughter could have stayed for many more hours, but we were excited and proud to find 20 doors during our first visit. The Garden was also quirky and unexpected, and we wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the fountain and poolside. So much to see - lots of childhood memories rekindled and it was a joy to see my daughter notice even the most random of objects in a hunt for any sign of a secret door. We can't wait to come back!”

Joe Ostrander on Oct 20, 2024 said:

“What a cool experience. A very different adventure that moved between awe, excitement, and sensory overload. Our family of 4 was looking for something different do do when we came to DC for the weekend. The Mansion on O site provided it. My teenagers had fun exploring and trying to find the doors, the adults tried to speak in all the memorabilia, which is impossible to do. There is just so much. Thanks for a good time. ”

Karl Rosip on Oct 20, 2024 said:

“It was amazing!! The history, the culture. Wandering through secret passages and getting lost in the wonderment of each room's theme. We loved every minute of it and even bought trinkets to take home. ”

Samantha Fugler on Oct 15, 2024 said:

“Enjoyed it and loved the museum, but there's a happy medium between difficulty and fun. Also wish there were cooler features like hidden levers, hidden speakeasy bar, etc. to really bring the experience alive.”

“I cannot even begin to begin to express my gratitude and awe. It's so hard to leave. My stay has helped me to see that I have infinite things to discover and I am so excited and inspired for my next 50 years. I'll see you soon! Lindy, Night At The Museum hotel guest.”

Javier Alonso on Oct 5, 2024 said:

“We had a really good time. I have to confess that I was a little skeptical about the museum visit with the "hidden rooms", but it was really entertaining. Each room is decorated in great detail, and you could spend hours if you wanted to see it all. I recommend going early to avoid too many people and losing a little of the charm. The treatment by everyone who worked at the museum was very friendly. The only "but": the prices of some objects on display. The few of us who knew the "real" price were very "overpriced", so be careful before buying any object that interests you...”

Vicki Gottlieb on Oct 4, 2024 said:

“It was hard to keep us with my almost-11 & soon-to-be-9-year-old grandsons. They moved so quickly through rooms searching for and finding about 26 large secret doors by their count that I made them slow down now and then and appreciate details they would have missed in the rooms. I was enthralled and delighted by everything & could have stayed hours more if my new hips would have allowed. There were teaching moments & moments to share our family lore, based on the marvelous displays and foci. We returned to some rooms a few times, especially Chucky's Room, which is decked out with Halloween scariness now. We had new experiences when we returned to any room. The two & a half hours I anticipated we'd take was right on the money. The boys gushed about their experience to their parents, who've never been, & will return with them in the near future. Hit the ball out of the park. Although different, we all went to Meow Wolf in Santa Fe in 2021 as I live near there. It's another experiential destination without the historic memorabilia and long history.”

“I hosted my daughter and her best friend's 17 birthday party at the Mansion on O Street. They both rated it a 10 out of 10 experience! The staff was amazing, the mansion is awesome. There are no words, it is more to see than I can describe. We were there from 11 am until after 4pm and I'm sure we still missed things. We found over 20 secret doors, and I'm sure we'll be back. Oh and as a special treat we got to meet Ms. H! She took pictures with us and is truly an inspiration. My daughter is an aspiring architect and a talented artist, and this was the perfect 17th birthday. Thank you and keep doing what you all are doing. Special thanks to Michael Masey who serenaded us. He is an amazing talent and was such a pleasure to listen to him play and sing. ”

Every room tells a story, and the attention to detail is astounding. The secret doors and hidden passageways added an element of fun and discovery that made the experience unforgettable. The eclectic collection of artifacts, from musical memorabilia to unique artwork, kept me captivated at every turn.

“Everyday, I see several advertisements on social media for events in DC. The Mansion on O Street stood out from the rest. I went online to purchase my ticket for the Secret Door Tour and was able to easily schedule for the very next morning. I stayed for about an hour. Upon arrival, I was greeted by professional yet very friendly staff. Watched a quick introduction video, and another host checked in afterwards to talk more in detail and answer any questions I had before starting my tour. I was then sent on my way to explore. There is no map, no guide, and I loved it!! The entire mansion is filled with fun Knick knacks, interactive displays, and fun surprises. With all that's going on, I'm sure I missed several hidden doors and rooms. I will be returning with family or friends to find the rest!”

Sady on Aug 7, 2024 said:

I loved it and would do it again in a heartbeat! ”

We asked a voulenteer for a little help and she said she couldn't even give us a clue. Overall we loved the experience. Planning to now take my husband. ”

We had such a fun time looking for secret doors and looking at all of the different themes and items. We spent about an hour and 45 minutes, early on a Saturday morning. We were able to find metered street parking close by and all around had a great day. I would suggest going early before it gets too busy. With too many people, I think it would spoil some of the secret doors :) ”

I am impressed by all the amazing artifacts and memorabilia in the mansion. The secret doors are just a bonus! While staying at the hotel is definitely much more than any regular hotel room in the city, it was very much worth the opportunity to tour the mansion without the public there. We happened to show up on the highest populated day and it was CROWDED! After 9pm....it became my favorite place. Thanks for making his bday magical! ”

“Our docent Bronte was phenomenal. Our daughter lost her lovey/stuffy while she was caught up in the excitement of the wondrous world of the O Museum. We realized after we'd gone to lunch nearby. Bronte helped us search multiple floors rapidly, asking guests to keep their eye out for our lovey, too! We encountered the lovely housekeeper Daisy in the elevator, and she had seen our lovey, and stashed him in an employee only area to help us find him. We could not be more grateful to Bronte and Daisy, they were so kind and helpful. Everybody else we encountered in reception, at the bar, etc. was also warm, friendly and helpful. We had such a great time here, and found 16 secret doors, so we'll need to return to find many more! This is such a cool place, with so many interesting things to see and experience. Truly, one of DC's best secrets. I've lived in the area for over 20 years, and only found the O Museum in The Mansion recently, and we are already planning our next trip! Thank you so much for your kindness, empathy, and welcoming, helpful attitudes.Walkability: There are restaurants within a few blocks that are wonderful. Dupont Circle is also close for access via the metro.”

“What a cool experience in DC! Every room is very unique in its own way and no matter how many times you visit you're destined to find something new.”

Ron on Jun 14, 2024 said:

“This is a very unique place. It is an active hotel and a museum rolled into one. There are dozens of rooms with little hidden nooks, rooms and literal secret passages with lots of pulp culture and American history spread all over the place. Everything from The Beatles to Rosa Parks to comic book heroes. It's just wild!There's no doubt that it can be overwhelming at times and some of the passageways can be narrow so you may have to let go of some personal space issues if you have them. But there is just so much cool stuff it really "must visit" spot in DC.Keep in mind that it is an active hotel so rooms may or may not be available to explore but this place really is fun.One gripe I have is that because of where it's at around 19th Street parking can be a bit of a pain in the butt so plan ahead for that. The staff was wonderful, friendly and very informative. This place is a lot of fun.”

Janice Swenson on Jun 9, 2024 said:

“I brought my husband and kids (ages 14 and 11) and we spent 2.5 hours in the house looking for secret passageways and compartments. We found 20 but wanted to find all 80 lol. Some were easier than others. Be sure to close a secret door behind you for the next person to find. The items in the rooms are all for sale and theres a bar to take a break at. A really fun and different way to spend a few hours in DC. ”

I went just the other day and managed to find 13 doors, as well as the collectible Tinkerbell hidden away as the must difficult thing to find. By far one of my favorite experiences, and I highly recommend going!!”

We enjoyed walking around seeing all the museum has to offer and exploring the secret doors!Growing up, being told not to touch things, made it very difficult for us to want to pick things up and try to find the hidden doors! But it is definitely encouraged here,Definitely worth coming back. There is much to see and despite walking through the areas several times, there was always something new we noticed.”

Betty Hsu - Los Altos, CA on May 11, 2024 said:

Jeannette Cona-Larock from The Magic For Less Travel, on Apr 29, 2024 said:

“We had three adults and three children aged 10 and under to visit the museum. I bought the ticket and added the hidden gems tour as well. The children had an amazing time and thoroughly enjoyed hunting for the secret doors! They found, unbelievably, 26 of them! That said, for a first time visit, it's probably not necessary to do the add-ons especially since I had to pay x6 which increased the cost a fair bit. There's definitely enough to see and searching to do without adding on. For a second, third or fourth visit (and that would be fun to do!) adding on some of the other tours would enhance the visit. I'm so glad we stumbled onto this. I was looking for something fun to do with the children and this hit the mark for sure.”

“When we think of selfless service and going the extra mile, "First Responders" often come to mind. However, today I want to highlight two individuals who exemplify these qualities in the hospitality industry.Meet H.H. Leonards and Ted Spero of the Mansion on O Street, Washington, D.C. -- a place that's a definite must-visit in the capital!H.H. and Ted are the epitome of gracious hosting. Their dedication to creating an unforgettable experience for every guest is unparalleled.Each time I visited D.C., the Mansion was my home away from home, enveloping me in its unique ambiance right in the heart of Dupont Circle.But it's more than just the vibe; it's the sense of family that H.H. and Ted foster. They are truly unforgettable personalities that leave a lasting impression on all who cross their threshold.If you're ever in D.C., don't miss the chance to experience the wonder of the Mansion on O Street and the exceptional hospitality of H.H. and Ted.”

James on Apr 15, 2024 said:

“A wonderful museum to visit. For $33, one can spend all the time they'd like to find the 70+ secret doors throughout the 30,000 square foot mansion that consists of 5 row houses.It truly is an eclectic blend of items, rooms, and decorations, where almost anything and everything is on sale! Make sure to stare up at the ceilings!Famous musicians have visited this place, which explains a lot of signed guitars throughout the rooms. They have artwork hanging on the walls from artists in residency. There's a wine cellar, an Elvis Presley room, and a Rosa Parks room, who stayed here for 10 years.”

Ethan Huang- Plainsboro Township, NJ on Apr 15, 2024 said:

“Ted and his co-hosts were fantastic! We wanted him to accommodate a larger group for our time slot (12, compared to the max of 10), and they were very responsive. They made it easy to schedule, there were no problems, and our group had a lot of fun exploring! We split into many smaller groups and bumped into each other randomly through the hidden doors. It was a lot of fun, would recommend for anyone who has never tried this type of attraction before.”

“Accompanied my two pre-teen grandkids to the O Museum and all three of us had a blast. Getting kids that age engaged (in anything not screen related!) can be tough, but the secret doors had them enchanted for several hours. Looking forward to a return visit next time I'm in the District. There is so much to see, it could never be boring. And the support for the arts is essential!”

Nikki McCargar on Mar 29, 2024 said:

“This was a very cool place to visit. The antiques and history was fascinating, the different styles of rooms and ornate architectural features throughout the mansion were beautiful. The opportunity to find secret doors was an added bit of fun. Our group found 11. There were many rooms off limits during our visit, and it was crowded enough that we quickly started to feel claustrophobic. It made it very hard to get around and really look at much. We spent a bit over an hour there and had to leave because it was getting more and more crowded by the minute and we were uncomfortable. If the number of people in a time period were better managed we felt like we would get to see more and enjoy our time better. Otherwise it was very nice. Our your time was 11am on a Thursday.”

Kisha Allen on Mar 24, 2024 said:

“OMG! This museum was the highlight of our visit. We came for the Cherry Blossom festival but made a point to visit museums and so very glad this one was on the list. It was the first stop of the weekend and nothing else compared. I have an 11 year old son and for him it became a competition of who could find the most secret doors. I think we ultimately tied but he was happy to tell other visitors when he was ahead. An additional highlight was meeting and chatting with HH. Talked to Ted as well but didn't realize it was him. He told me a funny story about one of the secret doors I asked him about and then shared a YouTube video with us to go with the story. They are so down to earth and it added to the experience. I also appreciate HH signing a couple books to me and the message she wrote.The staff we interacted with were great also. Great sense of humor and willing to provide a nugget or two of information about the mansion but they didn't give anything away.It is a must visit and will be on my list for every trip to Washington.”

Staff are friendly and helpful and it's just an experience like no other.”

My only nitpicks are that it's a little chaotic getting started, and the items inside are pretty overpriced. That said, if they were priced to move, the staff would have to replace the whole place every month.”

I used "Shazam" the whole tour to figure out which songs were playing. The mansion is definitely an ode to imagination! Felt like I walked into a trippy book and the narrator was Willy Wonka.”

“Two adults, a 5 & 7 year old and had a blast. We spent 2.5 hours before we even heard one "is it time to go yet" because they were so engaged. We have very active kids and were worried about the you break it you buy it part, but everything was secured and arranged that as long as kids were kept in eyesight there were zero problems. There was some confusion because a large group of GS were starting just as we did, but once we got going to was an amazing experience ”

Many of our members enjoyed a tour of the Mansion, and loved it, even if they had been there before, there's always something new to explore.”

Coren Jonathan Allen from The Kambimbi Academy, on Jan 16, 2024 said:

“One of the very coolest, most eclectic and interesting journeys one can take in D.C.! Impossible to digest everything of interest--no exaggeration. We took our two teenage daughters and they enjoyed it at least as much (maybe more) than we did. Take a trip down memory lane (for those of us seasoned in life) and enjoy an intellectually curious adventure...and just keep in mind--I might have to do this again to see everything I missed! ”

Tobias Murphy - Huntington, WV on Dec 30, 2023 said:

“If you are trying to fit in everything when you come to DC, you can fit literally everything in one trip to the O Museum. Shopping? Just about everything you find in the decked out rooms is for sale. Games? They have a pool table, pinball tables, and more.... you just have to find them. Get a drink or snack? They have great cocktails. History? Yep! See Rosa Parks' room as well as a room dedicated to John Lennon. This is just a few of the 80 rooms you can see. We were hoping to blitz through them, but it was more fun to stop and look around carefully at all of the interesting things. There was even Judaica! The staff was warm, personable, funny, and helpful. This would be a fantastic experience for kids. There is also an elevator, making most everything handicap accessible. The direction video is also signed and available in multiple directions. They thought of everything! I couldn't recommend this highly enough. I couldn't believe they also have rooms available for reservation. Someday, I hope to do this.”

It was just the right combination of challenging, interesting, and kooky. People also enjoyed being able to congregate by the bar. The actual bar drink selection was a little disappointing but the atmosphere was nice.”

Dominick donato on Dec 3, 2023 said:

“My comments would be it was very fun the only reason I didn't get five stars is because I'm upset we didn't find more doors LOL but we did find a great amount to the point where we helped other guests definitely want to come back to see other stuff just wanted to say I think during the 10 minute walk through the beginning you should give two or three give away doors but that's just my opinion I think it was a very good time and I love what you guys have going on here”

“Really different and interesting! Lots of stuff to look at, fun to find the hidden doors, will go again! Many of the items on display are really noteworthy, lots of signed guitars and 'blasts from the past'! Could stand to be pared down a bit, some of the tchotchkes are really just random junk. Also it's weird that stuff that is for sale (records, books, artwork) is also used to deter use, like placed over a toilet seat and in a bathtub. Overall my kids (teen boys, hard to entertain without a video screen) liked it more than I even hoped! Will def bring visiting family there, there's something fun for everyone there. ”

“My family and I had a wonderful time exploring the O Museum over the weekend! We were in DC to celebrate our daughter's 13th birthday and she was beyond excited once we started exploring. There are so many good things I can say about this place with one of the top being it's great for all ages. My wife and I were equally stoked to find the secret doors and enjoyed each room's different vibe. Also, learning about the history of the diverse array of guests that have stayed over the years was another interesting notch in O Museum's belt. The staff were all very friendly, starting with our guide (can't recall her name) who was enthusiastic about explaining the museum's history. Special shoutout to the staff member in the kitchen who encouraged our daughter to not be put off by the wet floor signs, which led to a great discovery ;)It was the highlight of our trip and we will almost certainly be back to check out future events. ”

James Potter on Nov 1, 2023 said:

“We visited on Halloween as part of our trip from the UK and this was one of the highlights of our vacation. The museum was one of the coolest places I have ever visited. Each room was an incredible mix of nostalgia and exciting artefacts and the search for secret doors kept our 14 year old engrossed. The John Lennon room was a personal highlight, as was finding the wine cellar, after watching others give up. Leaving with a bag of Halloween candy was the absolute icing on the cake. What an amazing place and what an experience. ”

Hera McLeod on Oct 31, 2023 said:

This spot is great for kids too, and the staff is very friendly. Highly recommend!”

“Finding this place was like finding a secret door! I was looking for a place to visit in DC that allowed some walking, wasn't crowded and gave us lots to talk about. Wow!We spent almost two hours here, just walking around, looking at the rooms and seeing all the things in the various rooms and hallways. I know we didn't see it all, which kind of blows my mind.We found 8 or 9 secret doors, my husband had such a great time and is totally determined to have a secret door or two in our forever home :)The weekend after we visited I recommended this place to both my brother's family and one of my closet friends - I also recommend it to you.There is a lot of walking - up stairs, downstairs, through doors, hallways etc. and there is so much to see (and buy!). And hear - some rooms have music playing, some rooms have a lecture or speech playing and many also have related video on a screen.We had a great time here and are determined to return one day to find some additional doors and rooms.If you are someone who loves guitars, I would suggest you put aside some time and check the guitar collection out - we didn't really study them, but it was a very impressive collection.The two things that stuck out to me most were the sketches of Winne the Pooh and Piglet and the Yellow Submarine ukulele.This place was so much fun to visit, thank you so much!”

We LOVED this little hidden gem and can not wait to return!”

Timothy Fairchild - US on Oct 13, 2023 said:

“A very interesting place to check out! I would say that some of the secret doors are obvious because they are marked with a note and some are so small that they don't really lead to a new area but there are still plenty of good ones and the checking out the themes of each room is really cool. It's definitely worth going because it's a unique experience.”

“My husband and I spent several hours walking around The O Mansion. This hidden gem/museum is now on our all-time favorite places to visit list.Each room inspired awe, wonder,and curiosity.Evertime we revisited a room, we found another unique piece of art, or facet,that we missed before.The multitude of creative works and themes, transported us into the past. It also reminding us of the iconic activists and artists, who shaped our culture of today. We thoroughly enjoyed learning factual history of the many people who stayed at the mansion. Most of the rooms offer a comfy chair to sit and rest, while gazing at the many items within it. But better yet, you could touch the items, too. Almost everything displayed could be purchased, and the proceeds go towards the museum. With the many secret rooms or doors to be found,your sleuthing skills will be tested. Although you may not find them all, being surrounded by so much creativity, makes a person feel like there is still magic in the world. ”

“I found many doors but not enough to be crowned the Grand DoorMaster of the O Manor. I will return someday and find the Door to the Infinite Childhood, the Gate of the 37 Eyes, the Gateway at the Start of the Nightmares, and the Exit Through the Gifted Shoppe.Beware! The person at the bar serves healthy pours.”
