“This place is so cool and fun!!! Felt like the lady of the house must be a kindred spirit because I totally relate to the whole vibe and energy of the house! What a killer experience. Never seen anything quite like it. Will definitely be back. Thank you so much for having us!!”

Rikki McKay on Oct 29, 2024 said:

“Wow! It was like being in a real life I Spy. So many things to see and experience! Plus supporting such great programs? We will definitely be back!!”

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:

“I thought it was wonderful and magical...so much fun and so much to see. I've talked about it to everyone we've seen since. It was an unexpected surprise and pleasure to see H in action while touring the mansion.”

Brian on Oct 26, 2024 said:

“We thoroughly enjoyed this unique experience and will definitely return. It's a jaw-dropping mix of intrigue, history, antiques, art and inspiration. I can't believe it took me 20 years of living in Washington to visit this one-of-a-kind hidden gem. ”

Allison on Oct 24, 2024 said:

“This place was really cool. I will be back.It made me sad to see the fish in a tank (in the cabin room) all by himself. Fish are very social animals and need friends. Please give him friends. :(”

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.”

Lindy, Night At The Museum hotel guest. on Oct 14, 2024 said:

“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.”

Robert Michael Ighnat on Oct 11, 2024 said:

“The museum was a great experience and it was fun to explore the premises. I will admit that the additional cost of the treasure hunts are not worth the money and I feel like their descriptions could be explained better before you purchase these addons.”

Lauren on Oct 7, 2024 said:

“We had a blast exploring the mansion. We found 24 secret doors. All of the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. And we found a few items to take home with us too! ”

“What an amazing spot. Had a great time looking for secret doors. So much fun”

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.”

Valerie Fischer on Oct 1, 2024 said:

“Loved this place. Very unique way to spend the day with my son on my birthday.”

Jessica Moore on Sep 30, 2024 said:

“We had a blast! Even our 11 and 16 year old loved looking around and finding the doors. They didn't complain once - which is rare these days without a screen in their faces. ”

Kathy Lucyszyn on Sep 29, 2024 said:

“There were three of us and we thought it was really nice and lots of fun.The staff were very helpful and very nice. it was a little expensive.”

Everyone found something fascinating in this intriguing and fascinating artifacts. Surprised in every room. I've visited a dozen times since the 1990s. Every time is an inspiring experience. ”

Janis Toohey on Sep 6, 2024 said:

Kim Hicks on Sep 5, 2024 said:

“This is DC's best kept secret. I don't have the words to describe the experience that we had so I'll just say "awesome". I am making plans to visit again and again soon. It may take years to consume it all.”

Samuel Johnson on Sep 2, 2024 said:

“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. ”

John Magnuson on Aug 27, 2024 said:

“We had a fabulous time! The staff were all friendly and approachable. Not to mention helpful when I wanted to leave one of our hat pins as a donation for the collection. The fact you accepted one of our little creations made my heart very happy.”

Cynthia Gottlieb on Aug 14, 2024 said:

“Lots of fun! Loved the dcor and all the memorabilia. I only wish I had brought my kids with me as they would have found more doors than I could! Alison, Caitlin and Gillian were great as hosts! I am coming back!”

Ariana Thompson on Aug 11, 2024 said:

“Really enjoyed the experience but it was super difficult to move around with all the other people (too crowded) and they ruined the door surprises. ”

SHAWN LEAVELL on Aug 11, 2024 said:

“A Hidden Gem Full of Wonder and Mystery!Visiting the O Museum in the Mansion was like stepping into a treasure trove of history, art, and intrigue. 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. The staff was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable, making the tour both educational and entertaining. If you're in D.C. and looking for something truly unique, the O Museum is an absolute must-see!”

Molly McQueen on Aug 8, 2024 said:

“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:

“Coolest museum ever! I am an paving my way to be an entrepreneur and artist, striving to inspire and make big dreams come true for myself and as many others as I can. This was for sure fantastic, fun, inspirational and hopefully in the future a good networking moment :)”

Jasmine P on Aug 5, 2024 said:

“We had a blast my son and I. Time flew and it was very exciting. We cannot wait to come back and keep exploring. If there is one thing as a mom I'd say some sort of hints would be nice. But if you ask my 8 year old he would say please don't give any hints. lol so there you go.”

M.C. Cavalea on Aug 4, 2024 said:

“My family of four and college roommate (who lives in Alexandria, VA) had a blast! The secret door experience is a must-do event while in the area. It was fun for the adults and our 8 & 9yo girls. We found something for grandma for Christmas and I added to my collection of "old medicine bottles". The fact that everything is for sale is insane! I loved it and would do it again in a heartbeat! ”

Tanaia Parker from T. White Parker, on Aug 4, 2024 said:

“We all had an AMAZING time - the adults and the kids!!! We even got to meet Mr. Ted and get some of the coolest pictures!!! Many thanks to the O St Mansion team for helping us plan and execute a great experience for our employees and their families! We will be back!!!”

Josi Flynn on Jul 31, 2024 said:

“I nannyed this tour with two kids. We loved looking for the spy items and exploring all the different rooms. One student bought a comic book he loved looking at in the superhero room. The other students loved seeing Rosa Parks's room. We did the espionage tour; we enjoyed it but it was quite difficult for both kids (8). 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. ”

Patricia Millar on Jul 26, 2024 said:

“What a fun way to spend time with my adult kids in DC! We had a blast roaming the mansion looking for the secret doors and seeing all the treasures. We only wish we could have touched/handled the guitars but completely understand why one cannot. Thanks for a great afternoon!”

Deveney Smith from Economic Architecture, on Jul 24, 2024 said:

Jamie Foster on Jul 23, 2024 said:

“My teenage daughter and I love museums, escape rooms, quirky shops and antique stores. This was a great combo of all of those things! 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 :) ”

Victor Sepulveda on Jul 11, 2024 said:

“The first of hopefully many more visits to the Mansion on O St. What an amazing place. In my mid-40's I was able to feel the childlike feeling of discovery and whimsy that many of us forget in our day to day drudgery. This is a truly magical place where anyone and everyone of all ages and backgrounds can find something to appreciate. I truly want to give it 100 stars. Allot plenty of time for your visit because you will want to see it all. ”

Andrea McMillan from NA, on Jul 10, 2024 said:

“I had the best night celebrating my boyfriend's birthday at the mansion! Every employee was so friendly and helpful, plus the experience was incredibly unique/fun. 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! ”

“Such an innovative idea that was not only exciting in finding treasures from the past but also innovative in ways to find them through secret passages. While it is a museum, this experience resuscitates life back to these relics with the opportunity to purchase them; all so very cool. ”

“Thank you for a wonderful experience at the O Mansion.

Brian Morton on Jun 30, 2024 said:

“This was the coolest museum I've ever been to. So much to see and so rewarding to find the new rooms through the secret hide areas. I feel like I didn't get to all the rooms available for the five row houses that were represented. I LOVE all of the memorabilia from guitars to autographed jerseys and all the pictures of famous people that also took the tour. What a fun place!! I can't wait to find more rooms next time:)”

Kris Smith on Jun 28, 2024 said:

“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.”

Tina Altman on Jun 28, 2024 said:

“Fun, unique experience. I wish we would have had more time to spend in the house. We were there for 1.5 hours but I think we could have easily spent double that amount of time exploring and we could have found a lot more secret doors with more time. I would say to allot 3 hours minimum for an optimal experience without feeling rushed.”

Ericha King on Jun 23, 2024 said:

Aaron on Jun 23, 2024 said:

“That was one of the most fun and unique attractions that we've experienced in a long time. It's definitely a "can't miss" when in DC. We look forward to coming back to find the things we missed.”

JT on Jun 23, 2024 said:

“This is a great place for a date. The whole experience kept things fun and interesting the whole time we were there, and long after we left. It was like walking through Meow Wolf mashed up with an antique store, with the added twist of finding hidden doors. Very cool. We honestly thought we would find more doors, but it isn't as easy as you might think. I would definitely like to go back.”

“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. ”

“Third time I have been to the mansion and I found two new secret doors I had never found before. So much fun. So much to see. ”

Devin on Jun 6, 2024 said:

“Looking through reviews before I went, and both the reviews and in person say the average does you find are 2-3. 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 certainly plan to visit again because there was so much to see, and although we toured the whole Mansion there was plenty that we missed (excluding the secret rooms we couldn't find, We only managed to find 4). One visit isn't enough!”

“Can't really rate the rooms as we didn't stay there, but the staff was very friendly. 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.”

Colleen on Apr 29, 2024 said:

“Sensational! Intrigue, mystery, sleuthing, attention to detail were all elements built in to the secret doors/Asian Garden/scavenger hunt tour.

Scott Mechkowski on Apr 15, 2024 said:

“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.”

Andy Huang on Apr 15, 2024 said:

It's the second time that my family has done the tour, it's honestly a lot of fun and you can really spend the entire day there if you take the time to enjoy the moment in each room...read a book, listen to music, sit back and relax, and just talk to friends.”

Maria Alesci - Syracuse, NY on Apr 15, 2024 said:

“Highly recommend! We had a range of children, including a hard-to-please teenager, with us and all had a great time! Staff was very friendly and each room was full of fun things to see.”

Nancy Beaird on Apr 6, 2024 said:

“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!”

Katie Conrad on Apr 2, 2024 said:

“What a spectacular place! My husband and I poked around this curious museum filled with knick-knacks, baubles, and pieces of history. There are new things that catch your eye wherever you look, and it's so satisfying finding a hidden door. If we're ever in the DC area again, I can definitely see us returning. Highly recommend going, and spending as much time as you can exploring!”

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.”

Pinar Beygo on Mar 20, 2024 said:

“Came with my family in December and had to come back with my friends this week just to show them the chaos and whimsy of the museum. Even without the secret doors (we found 14 of them!) just looking at all the items on display and the beautiful doors and windows in the mansion is worth the visit. Staff are friendly and helpful and it's just an experience like no other.”

Also, my oldest son is a guitar enthusiast with about 20 guitars, and seeing my photos, he plans to visit on his next trip to DC. I look forward to the upcoming "Spy Room."

“This was a really fun experience! Would highly recommend to visitors and locals alike- it's completely unique and very DC. 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.”

“We had a great time exploring this house! There is so much to see and learn and finding a secret door is an absolute thrill. The only downside was that there was not enough time. We definitely recommend this place!”

Debbie Morrow from Frugal Frights and Delights, on Sep 23, 2023 said:

“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.”

Erika Hale on Sep 10, 2023 said:

“My husband and I stayed at the hotel with four other adult family members. We had two two-bedroom suites in the building across the street. We arrived around 7:30 pm and spent several hours in the mansion, searching for secret doors and exploring all the eclectic rooms. After the museum closed at 9 pm, we had the entire museum to ourselves. We helped ourselves to the honor bar, played games and billiards, and did more exploring. We even met the owner of the hotel who told us a lot of stories about the mansion and its famous guests! The beds were really comfortable, and we had a superb time.”

Laura Mordica on Sep 9, 2023 said:

“A great exploration of this amazing house and all the great history. Searching for the hidden doors was a phenomenal experience. The kids, 13 & 10, had a blast and put this as a #2, with the White House tour being #1. The family request we make this a spot for all of our returning DC visits. The staff was very welcoming. ”

Jake on Sep 6, 2023 said:

“A really fun experience. This was my second time here, but with a different group. It was entaining watching our friends struggle to find the doors. My only gripe was regarding the promised "best high five" for finding Tinkerbell, and I never got it. So, 4.5 stars without the high-five, but 5 stars with the round up.”

Amy Salcido on Aug 28, 2023 said:

“It was so much fun! I would have liked some more explanation to know what constitutes a secret door.. maybe like a sticker by every door once it's opened to know. But it was sooo much fun!!! ”

Jennifer Arrington on Aug 27, 2023 said:

“We were in DC for a vacation but some in my group had to attend to a couple business activities. While they were doing that, 2 of us visited the museum and had such a great experience, we brought the rest of the group back later in the week. There are tons of really great experiences in the DC area, but the O Mansion is at the top of my list!”

Alex Davis - US on Aug 27, 2023 said:

“Surprisingly educational experience with a deep history rooted in major events in America, as well as plentiful noteworthy individuals who either have stayed at the mansion, have photos there, or just have provided interesting memorabilia of some sort in general that adds even more discovery to the desire to try and find every hidden door. Overall, very fun and rewarding when you find a hidden door! Super simple and works just as well for a date as it does for a fun family outing.”

Ryan Mustered - US on Aug 27, 2023 said:

“Hard to think of a more fun and meaningful way to spend the day in DC! Rich in history, heart, and intrigue. Whole family had a wonderful time. Ted and his crew were kind, generous, and knowledgeable. Visited by many US presidents. Blessed to find 18 of 85 secret doors (average is 2-4) and see most of the mansion. Imagine exploring the largest escape room ever, filled with genuine treasures and history of the arts and humanities. Impossible to find everything, yet everyone learns and wins. Well worth the time and money. Would go back in a heartbeat”

Jennise Beverly-Chaffold on Aug 26, 2023 said:

“Went to the O Museum in The Mansion for the tour. This tour included searching for hidden doors and gems through out the space. There are 70 hidden doors, but most that tour only find a small fraction of them. Normally less than 2. ;)Spent a few hours exploring and was able to find a few doors and a few hidden gems. 14 doors, and 2 gems. The Rosa Parks room was fantastic, to actually be in a space that she lived for over 10 years was epic. The entire mansion feels like a huge thrift/antique store. It has a ton of books, toys, dishes, you name it. The space is fantastic. It is a lot of walking and a lot of stairs, although you can take the elevator to each floor. Overall this was the most enjoyable tour we took while visiting the Nation's Capital.”

Lisa Rand - Vernon Hills, IL on Aug 26, 2023 said:

“This was a lot of fun exploring the house to find some of the hidden doors. We only found about 8 of the 70. It would have been nice to have some clues provided to help find the smaller ones. Overall, this was a fun experience and at a reasonable price.”

Vanessa Manz - Glenshaw, PA on Aug 26, 2023 said:

Marissa Ferrell - US on Aug 26, 2023 said:

“This place is honestly so fun. You'd be surprised how much fun you'd have finding secret passageways. My friends and I are all in our 20s and that's the most fun we've had in a long time. I went for my birthday and had an amazing time. 10/10 would recommend.”

The Mansion is filled with so many unique and beautiful items: furniture, books, art, appliances, you name it! I felt like I was in a live version of an I Spy book and had the time of my life. The history is so rich, and I was truly in awe the entire time I was exploring.”

We found 24 doors and were done for the day! We will return to search again. This is an amazing place to explore, enjoy, and relish what the O Museum has to offer those who enter. This is a hidden gem of Washington DC. You can uncover the hidden doors if you are willing to search and keep an open mind!”

We stayed about two hours and found 15 doors. ”

“Samantha was really great at getting us set up to explore, and the museum was so interesting and fun to walk around. We even found about 10 secret doors!

Don't be in a rush to get through this one, take your time and look closely, once you start finding the doors you'll be so excited to see where they lead you. ”

“What an amazing experience for us and the kids. I can't say enough wonderful things about this place, the staff, and the amount of fun we had.The decorations and rooms are unique and wonderful, pictures don't do justice to actually being there. Each room and each level is an adventure. So many little things that you notice and you could literally spend hours and hours just in one room if you wanted.The secret door hunt was so fun and engaging. One of the best experiences we have had as a family together. We must have spent 3-4 hours and it went by so quickly. Its a memory we will all keep with us.”

Greg Cotton on May 27, 2023 said:

“What an incredible (and eclectic) experience! Although we didn't stay as hotel guests (this would be quite an unusual experience for that - be sure to verify with the staff about whether your room includes a private bathroom, and during what hours visitors to the museum might be right outside your bedroom door!).However, just touring the house(s) as a "museum" was fascinating and well worth the visit. Although a bit away from the traditional Washington DC Mall visit, the "Secret Door Museum at the Mansion on O Street" is still a must see! Especially if you visit early (it's better when it's not crowded), and then lunch can be a few blocks away at the incredible Kamers (bookstore and) cafe!For anyone looking for something a bit beyond the "Archives and Smithsonian" (which are great reasons to visit DC!), this place is worth adding to your itinerary!Rooms: Very eclectic. Be prepared for a LOT of extra items (some might describe it as "clutter") in the rooms. Fascinating variety of items, many autographed or very unusual items.The rooms are excellently themed, providing a nice continuity to the items that are present, but removing items from the bathroom or closet so that you have space to put your clothes or suitcases away may be a surprise to some guests.Nearby activities: Be sure to visit Kamers (bookstore and) Cafe - only a fee blocks away on the other side of Du Pont circle.Walkability: The walk from a few Metro stations is perfectly fine on most days (a few blocks), but bad weather or extreme heat may make a RideShare (e.g. Uber, Lyft, etc.) more desirable for some.”

“You'll never find everything and quite possibly not find the same thing twice. I loved getting lost and then finding myself again. Every room was carefully created, constantly changing, and so much fun to pilfer through. Expect steep prices should you wish to take anything home, but the value for entry is well worth the sights you'll see!”
