“Really an awesome experience walking around and taking everything in and searching for stuff. I felt like I was in a realistic version of the "I spy" books from back in the day. Highly recommend checking this out with a friend!”

“Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Hi H, words cannot describe! I absolutely loved the Mansion, it is by far, the coolest, greatest, and funkiest place I've ever crashed! Wow, great work all around, I am so impressed with the class and detail. Thank you for the hospitality -- I've been telling everyone!”

Jordan Davis - Fort Smith, AR on May 27, 2023 said:

“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!”

“A really cool experience if you are in the DC area!”

“Great place to visit. Very unique and so much to see and read. Finding the secret doors and compartments alone can be extremely challenging. Some are obvious and others displayed as such. The restrooms are adorable and equally unique.Everyone should visit O-Street Mansion at least once!The parking situation can be pricey.Walkability: Extremely easy to get to on foot and parking distance.Noteworthy details: Everything in the mansion is for sale!”

Melinda Cotton - Allen, TX on May 27, 2023 said:

Bea Brodsky on Apr 25, 2023 said:

“I brought my 11 year old niece for her birthday. We were signed up for the Espionage/Spy hunt but honestly, she was more enraptured by just trying to find the secret doors! She had an absolute blast wandering around and finding them. She said "this place is so awesome" multiple times! She was so proud of herself for finding the wine cellar all by herself! We did manage to find some items on our Spy list and I was impressed with the list itself and all the bonuses you were also encouraged to find. We were easily there for 3 hours and never bored once. The staff was so friendly and accommodating, one gentleman even gave my niece a hint to help her find the Tinkerbell door because she was SO desperate to find it. I would recommend arriving earlier as it got a lot more crowded as the day went on. But all in all, it was a unique and fun experience that I definitely recommend!”

Marjorie Bossie on Apr 18, 2023 said:

Janelle Warner - Baltimore, MD on Oct 6, 2022 said:

“Looking for stuff to do while we stayed in Alexandria and found this place, and was curious as to what it'd be like. Was pleasantly surprised at how much fun my friend and I had walking around looking for secret doors. We also enjoyed walking through the various rooms and looking at the decor and different styles of the times. The stuff in there seems really random at times, and other times, you just find yourself gawking at the fact that all this stuff is contained in one residence. I still wonder how it simultaneously operates as a hotel, because there is stuff literally everywhere you look. The staff was kind and informative, I'm still fascinated about the fact that Rosa Parks lived there for 10 years (still not sure we made it to her room, but we definitely didn't see everything for the 3-4 hours we were there. Time flew! We found a little over 10 doors and we still discovered a room we missed the second time we went back for 10 extra minutes. Some doors are bound to be accidentally revealed to you when other people are also looking around, but it's no big deal. Would definitely bring a group back here to do this as a team building exercise or something with some friends. Also, highkey want to find more doors. If you're ever in DC or Alexandria, definitely check this place out. The seeming randomness of it this place is experience enough, and on top of that, you may really enjoy it!”

George Anderson - US on Oct 6, 2022 said:

Anwen B. - San Rafael, CA on Oct 6, 2022 said:

“This place is a haven in DC for its uniqueness and diversity. Every room is lined with incredible art, you could spend weeks just looking at everything in there. I've gone multiple times and it never gets old because there is constantly new items coming and going and different art exhibits up. There are some amazing works by Gerald Johnson in various rooms.One of my favorites is the Beatles themed roomed where you can play pool, listen to some good music, and on an off day maybe even have one of the staff make popcorn out of the old machine! Also there is beautifully designed log cabin room (which you can also say in as a guest if you want).There are plenty of fun secret doors to be found, and keep in mind that not all doors are what you might consider "doors". ”

Nicole Lando on Oct 3, 2022 said:

“We had such a great time! My friend and I have been wanting to check out the mansion since we moved to DC and are so glad we did.

We thought we would take advantage of the themed treasure hunt lists but they only wanted to focus on finding the hidden doors! It turns out that children are REALLY good at finding the doors. We (haha, THEY) found every single room! We had time to go back to some of our favorite rooms and of course they both bought something to remember the trip. A crazy whacky place to visit and my husband and I will probably go back by ourselves to take advantage of some of the virtual app links to be found that add special information, and maybe use those treasure hunt lists.”

Joseph Quiroz - US on Jul 16, 2022 said:

“This was my second experience at the Mansion, and first in almost four years. I went with an out-of-town guest who had never been before. She had a blast, as did I. Four years was enough time to forget most of the secret door locations, and on this visit I even found more doors, including in unexpected places. It was a great rainy day experience; I can't wait to go back someday (but not for a while--I want to forget where all the doors are).”

Anthony Pace on Jul 10, 2022 said:

“This place is absolutely amazing!! We wanted to do something different on this quick trip to DC and The Mansion was the perfect choice. We figured it would be an hour or two but were completely blown away by everything there was to see and explore. All said and done we spent nearly 5 1/2 hours there discovering new things around every corner. Couldn't ask for a better time. The staff was incredible as well. Very knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend The Mansion to everyone who wants to have a great time a little off the beaten path. One of DCs hidden gems for sure.”

The mansion itself did not disappoint! I wasn't sure how many hidden doors we would find, but we found all the doors I think.. those little cubbies hiding around are very tough, we didn't find and tiny ones.. very cool to see everything in the mansion and all the wonderful rooms. Definitely something to check out if you haven't already!”

Would love to come back to do a dinner in the hidden wine cellar. Our one recommendation would be to have coffee/tea available in The Mansion for guests.

Suzanna Montoya on Apr 22, 2022 said:

“Wonderful experience and would definitely recommend!”

Edie Vaughan - CA, United States on Apr 22, 2022 said:

“Great experience. A Gem! You can spend hours looking at all the interesting items in the house. I recommend it, especially if you've already seen the Washington sights and want something different.”

Jenn Cianchetta-Riordan, Holly Springs, NC on Apr 22, 2022 said:

“Super-fun experience with the family! It was exciting to roam around in search of secret doors. So many things to look at!”

Beth Rue - Annapolis, MD on Apr 22, 2022 said:

“This is by far one of the most eclectic places I've been. There are so many things to look at. It would be hard with little kids because I think they would want to touch it all! But cool experience for certain”

Amanda Nguyen on Apr 22, 2022 said:

“Love Love Love this experience. This would be great for a cute date or a team building experience to a personal escape/get away to get lost in. Next time in DC I will definitely do this tour again to see if there are more doors I wasn't able to find. I do wish there were more hints as to where the smaller doors are hidden. I only found 17 out of the 70+. It's definitely a wonderful challenge.”

Laralyn Victoria on Apr 19, 2022 said:

“Thumbs up all around! The kids loved getting lost and finding new doors. So fun!”

Janet Price on Apr 18, 2022 said:

“It was like stepping into the pages of an "I Spy" book and having a look around. Truly something for everyone to see and appreciate as you move through what by itself is an immense gorgeous house. After the 3 hours of wandering, I feel like I barely scratched the surface. I will definitely return, hopefully for an event night. Thank you for protecting this wonder.”

Tracey Sanders on Apr 16, 2022 said:

“As always, it was fun finding secret doors and we especially enjoyed the newest secret door!”

Ramsey Poston on Apr 15, 2022 said:

“O Street Mansion is a DC treasure. A visit to the Mansion should be on every tourist's and local's bucket list. For locals, the mansion is the perfect place for a "staycation" and for tourist it is an opportunity to see a very different part of this city. The Mansion staff treat their guests like royalty. For music lovers, there really is nothing like the Mansion's collection of guitars and other historic artifacts. ”

Evy on Apr 11, 2022 said:

“What a remarkably unique experience! I can honestly say I've never seen or experienced anything like the mansion! It's great fun exploring the rooms and searching for the secret doors!!”

Sondra Hines on Apr 11, 2022 said:

“Had a great time wandering the mansion. We found about 20 secret doors! A must place to visit when you are in DC.”

Dee on Apr 8, 2022 said:

“It was really different. My family had a blast. Those secret doors are har to find especially the smaller one. We found Tinker bell within 5 minutes. We will be back.”

TERRY D BARNES on Apr 7, 2022 said:

“So fun looking for the doors, really great exhibits to see. ”

Lynn F Koiner from Koiner Farm, on Apr 1, 2022 said:

“I was there in 2018 and I wanted to bring my neighbor and best friend as a Christmas present. She was thrilled. I missed some of the hidden places that I found in 2018 but I found new ones. We want to come down again with her family. Posted photos on Facebook and this stimulated great interest.”

Joe Redd on Mar 29, 2022 said:

“It was very fun. Finding the secret doors was exciting, but so was the for sale items, the memorabilia, and the things you could do. I brought 2 teenagers, and my son and daughter both had fun. We played pinball, billiards,clapped for chucky, put together a puzzle. It was quality time for us. Very few museums could ever pull that off.”

Naomi Savaro on Mar 27, 2022 said:

“Such a great place to explore. So many twists & turns - you find a secret door and think you're heading somewhere new - sometimes you end up someplace you already seen.”

Kaylee Norris on Mar 21, 2022 said:

“We found this place last minute & it was the best part of our day! We will definitely be back. ”

Jiaqi on Mar 21, 2022 said:

Frances meyer on Mar 18, 2022 said:

“Very eclectic, we spent hours going thru the numerous rooms. Very enjoyable experience. We even found tinker bell. Glad we came! ”

Renee Gibson on Mar 14, 2022 said:

“Our first visit here (definitely not the last) and absolutely was enchanted! Had so much fun discovering doors, rooms and artifacts. I would love to see a room checklist given to guests at the beginning just to check them off and see what we missed/how many rooms we actually found, so I could go hunting more the next time! ”

Mary Sciotto on Feb 25, 2022 said:

“Awesome! I brought my sister here as a surprise for her birthday. She is an Agatha Christie fan and loved the mystery of the secret doors. We found 12! The mansion is beautiful. Thank you for a wonderfully fun experience!”

Robin Rouse on Feb 23, 2022 said:

“Wow, this place is so AWESOME! It's truly unlike anything we've ever experienced. Honestly, if you visited every day for a month and stayed three hours, you would still not see everything. At times it was a little overwhelming; so much to see WHILE trying to find secret doors/rooms. The secret doors lead you to totally different spaces; it somehow seems to be never-ending! We just wish it had been a little less crowded; we didn't get a chance to "find" some of the doors because people came through them! But even that was a bit of a thrill, having a wall suddenly open up next to us. A visit earlier in the day might have been a better bet where that's concerned. Being a boomer, this place brought up all sorts of memories and nostalgia and trips through history. If you're a museum lover, you will absolutely love the mansion. If you just like a challenge, you'll absolutely love the mansion. If you were around anywhere near the 60s and 70s, your heart will swell! (But it's not all for older folks!) And I had champagne, so ... :)”

Samantha on Feb 22, 2022 said:

“I had such a fun time exploring the mansion and learning about its history. I've lived in DC for three years and wish I'd gone sooner. You could easily spend two to three hours visiting and still not find all the secret doors. Great for group events and solo excursions any time of year. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. 10/10 recommend. ”

Cathy & Tony Ramstetter from Prestige AV & Creative Services, on Feb 22, 2022 said:

“We enjoyed exploring the mansion; it was fascinating to see memorabilia next to dishes or books or promotional knickknacks. SUCH a collection. Finding secret doors and seeing what was behind was an added bonus. Exploring in a small group would be fun to work together or do a game of some sort...but we had the best time by ourselves! AND: we met Ted. THANK YOU, Ted, for sharing YOUR story, and H's vision and work to bring the Mansion to life. We are grateful and look forward to seeing you again when we next come to DC. ”

Lori Stultz on Feb 21, 2022 said:

“We loved everything about the Mansion -- the story, the collections, the art, and of course, the doors!”

Wendy Snyder on Feb 21, 2022 said:

“Great time with our 10 year old grandson and his best friend. The Mansion is a treasure no matter how old you are or how many times you've been there. ”

Eileen Nicholson on Feb 21, 2022 said:

“I brought my daughter and two daughter's in law and one granddaughter for a girls day to celebrate their birthdays. We had a wonderful time. We found 12 secret doors!!! Great day! Thank you H and Ted.”

Christa Graham on Feb 20, 2022 said:

“This was the most incredible experience. There was so much to see and each room elicited a different emotion, some were of awe, some of nostalgia, some of surprise. It was a most personal and entertaining visit. We already look forward to returning next year when we are again in the Washington area. ”

Deborah Anderson - Charlotte, NC on Feb 19, 2022 said:

“Fun family experience!”

Shelli Sotiro - Leonardtown, MD on Feb 19, 2022 said:

“A spectacular array of rooms and objects! We knew we were going to an historic townhouse with lots of objects and hidden doors. We didn't realize that it's a combined four row houses with artistry in every inch and it is basically also an operating hotel, so most of the rooms are bedrooms, each decorated uniquely - some French provincial, some art deco, some Bohemian, and others just an eclectic mix of styles, textures, prints and knick knacks. It was fun. We found seven of the secret doorways into other rooms, and that gave our boys a thrill. The owners happened to be on site during our tour, and we really enjoyed a few minutes of conversation with this incredible, intelligent, wordly and other-worldly, culturally diverse couple! A separate experience to my liking would be a tea time chat with H and her wonderful partner in crime! A visual smorgasborg!!”

Tugce Aldemir - State College, PA on Feb 18, 2022 said:

“It was so much fun to explore the rooms. Each room has a different story to tell. We especially fell in love with one of the rooms, where we hope to stay as guests in the future.”

Seo Yeon Yoon - San Francisco, CA on Feb 18, 2022 said:

“A treasure trove of some of the most unique collections in the town, it's a great experience for anyone who stays curious and loves learning.”

Amelia Kays on Feb 16, 2022 said:

“I have lived in DC for eight years ands never heard of the Mansion until a month ago. I want to tell everyone I know how special it is but I don't want them discovering any secrets I didn't! This was a wonderful Valentines Day event - very memorable.”

Stephanie Aument on Feb 14, 2022 said:

“Great experience and so much fun! We were 9 people, multi-generational, and everyone agreed it was a great way to spend the afternoon. So much to look at, with details to entertain everyone. ”

Deborah Winkler on Feb 13, 2022 said:

“My Christmas Party was held last week at the Mansion at O Street. In thirty-five years in business I have only returned to a venue twice for our party--The O Street Mansion was such a hit with my staff in 2019 that we came back. This is a very, very special place! The mansion itself is filled with such things as a guitar signed by all the original Rolling Stones, a Miss America tiara, and innumerable works of art. There is so much to see here, it is hard to tell if you are in a museum or on a treasure hunt. And if this didn't intrigue our group there are 80 hidden doors to find. We had 45 minutes to explore the mansion before dinner and it was hard to regroup in the dining room because we were all having so much fun.Dinner was even better than our last one here. The caprese salad was amazing and our vegetarian and chicken entrees were as tasty as they were beautiful. We had all sorts of dietary needs in our group (no red meat, no fish, no mushrooms, vegan only, vegetarian, etc etc). Our meal was planned bearing all this in mind thanks to the patience and expertise of Madison and the chef.Madison coordinated everything and could not have possibly been more gracious. She stayed until the end of the evening- a very long day for her, I am sure. She was wonderful.The chef, and the servers Luigi and Forenzio, were absolutely excellent. We couldn't have asked for a more professional staff.The geniuses behind this magical mansion, H and her husband Ted, have created magic in downtown Washington DC. Magic, joy, and a place like no other.Just go.”

Michelle on Jan 1, 2022 said:

“I wasn't sure what to expect because the website was so hard to navigate and find the NYE event we were interested in, but pleasantly surprised at the experience when we got there. Delicious treats were available and a chocolate fondue fountain. My husband and I explored for about 2 hours and found about 12 doors including the wine cellar. We couldn't find any tiny doors though. We'll have to come back to find those! ”

Luz Pelaez Lowe - US on Dec 30, 2021 said:

Jennifer Patterson Fort - Lauderdale, FL on Dec 25, 2021 said:

“This is a wonderful experience. There are several different secret doors and winding turns that takes you on an adventure. It's almost like you're transported through history to different locations and periods of time. Good bang for your buck. Make sure you find the wine cellar it's a real treat!”

Scott Baker - Madison Heights, VA on Dec 25, 2021 said:

Lorraine Madden - Hanover, PA on Dec 25, 2021 said:

“This is an experience that is totally what you make of it, in a really good way! We originally wanted to find all of the secret doors, but became enchanted with the experience of each room, every floor, and making sure we visited each brickstone (we almost missed one!). There is no reason to not enjoy, because it's self guided and self described. Do you want to soak in the memorabilia?, the original art works?, the design elements?, the secret doors?, the unique ambiance of each room? There's a lot to appreciate here, including the historic relevance of this location and its ties to Mrs Rosa Parks and so many other persons. And the staff are incredible and super friendly, we enjoyed talking with them! This was a fabulous, way outside the typical DC tourist destination, which made it even more special and enjoyable!!”

Dayna Ehrenberger - US on Dec 25, 2021 said:

Ted kindly showed me some amazing footage on his phone after I expressed interest in one of the bands who've visited! This is a delightful adventure with different layers or aspects of significance depending on your age.”

We saw them the previous night in a large venue, which was really good, but being a small venue and close to the band made this performance at the Mansion on O Street special. You could tell that the band members were also having a good time. Awesome night.”

Jacklyn Brown - US on Nov 29, 2021 said:

“If you're in the area this is a must see!! We had so SO much fun doing the rock and roll scavenger hunt and looking for the hidden doors! We definitely want to come back. You could go many times and still see something different for sure. Also it is a hotel so you can stay there. A very unique one at that. How fun would it be to stay overnight there!? Although I can't imagine staying more than one night, as it would be too overwhelming for me with the amount of nostalgia each room holds! It's wonderful the collection of items this place holds! From the lobby, bar area, function room to all the guest rooms, every inch of this place is filled with memorabilia - And you can purchase just about everything in the hotel. Great date night idea for all ages! This was a surprise gift experience for my husbands 61st birthday and he wasn't sure what to expect when we first arrived. Then our experience began and we spent an entire afternoon looking for the items on our list and all the doors we could find. We did pretty well - even found the very hidden beautiful wine cellar!! But we did spend 4 hours! Depending on your child: Children may get overwhelmed or not find it interesting as it may feel like going through an antique or consignment store to them - although with that being said searching for the hidden doors which are not easy to always find may keep their interest and find the whole experience FuN for them - I'm sure of that much! We also met the owner's husband who was so kind and had a few stories to tell us. He assured us as well as other staff that if you really needed a hint they would be sure to help you out - but what fun would that be!? Just enjoy the experience!”

James Grier - Hampton, VA on Nov 29, 2021 said:

“This was a fun experience. The Mansion is so eclectic- there was so much to see! Would like to have a "secret door check list" with a short general description of each door, that did not give away any locations- so we knew which ones we had not found yet. And could keep track of the ones we did.”

John Gary Barrett on Nov 8, 2021 said:

“First visit by my family to the Mansion and it was wonderful. We spent 2 hours exploring on a Sunday afternoon and could have spent a lot more. The wandering complexity of the spaces, huge volume and diversity of things, fantastic decoration throughout were absolutely wonderful. Our kids - 13 1nd 15 - had a laser-like focus on finding secret doors (found 8!) while my wife and I spent a little more time enjoying the experience. Delighted that we went, strongly recommend it to others and we will certainly be back!”

“LOVVVVED IT! The O Mansion defies description. It's a combination funhouse, decor tutorial, historic architectural tour, video and audio show, brainteaser, blast from the past, gymnasium and yard sale. It's cozy, confusing, creative, confounding and cuddly. It triggers emotions and memories, releases stress, and increases productivity... and creates a natural high achieved by just being in it's presence. This expanding-contracting time capsule is a MUST EXPERIENCE. I found you through Atlas Obscura, but I am certainly willing to tatoo you across my ..., for advertising purposes, so the uninitiated can experience you. ”

Staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Only regret is that we did not have more time to spend there - will plan on spending all day next time.”

“We've never had so much fun in a museum before! Found only 19 doors and just sorry that we didn't count the rooms! Took tons of pics and spread the word lots of ways including FB. Memorabilia is fantastic and we will definitely come back next time we are in DC. ”

Janine Schaub on Aug 2, 2021 said:

“I'm so glad that I came across The Mansion on O Street as a recommended "Thing to Do" in DC. Our family of two seniors and three adult children loved it! So different from any other experience we've had in our travels together. My only regret is that I chose a late event time (3 pm) so we only had about two hours to wander around. We all would have preferred to spend much more time there. We will definitely go back as a family and our adult children plan to go back with friends as well. So much fun!! ”

The book talk was inspiring, the authors engaging, H.H. Leonards friendly and welcoming. All the staff was friendly and helpful. I had not known about Rosa Parks' connection to O St. and was moved by visiting her room and the video that was playing in it. Thank you for all your cultural and socially-relevant gifts!

Looking for the hidden doorways was fun for us and the fellow visitors- and yes, we did find some! But not all- that just leaves a challenge for the next time. Fun for kids of all ages”

“This is an awesomely fun experience! We explored the museum in search of hidden doors and found over 20 in just a few hours. Of course, our family of four is excellent at solving puzzles and working together. Once we found a couple, we were determined to find as many as we could. We loved seeing all the nostalgia and interesting items for sale as we searched for hidden passages and doors of all sizes hidden in the mansion. ”

“When reserving my ticket to the museum, I was very leery about the experience. However, I am so glad I visited the museum. It was an experience and adventure I will NEVER forget. The hunt of the secret doors was fun, all the items on display were unique and/or vintage! Getting the chance to meet Ms. H was awesome! And I loved the tribute to Rosa Parks! Very informative and creative! If you get the chance to visit the Mansion, take your time, look at everything and enjoy the experience. FYI, we found over 7 secret doors! LOL”

Dawn Darr on Jun 7, 2021 said:

“First time visitor and my family was blown away by the uniqueness of this museum. Hunting for the secret doors and the "gems" on the sheet kept us engaged from the moment we stepped off the elevator on the fourth floor until we left 2:5 hours later. Having found 17 hidden doors, my family felt like real sleuths. What a treasure O Street Mansion is! We can't wait to bring our friends and come back again to explore more. ”

Alix Johnson on Jun 3, 2021 said:

“My granddaughter, age 9, and I visited the Mansion for the Secret Door tour and it was just enchanting! We scurried up and down the corridors and in and out of amazing rooms for more than and hour, and managed to spy ten hidden doors! Since we were so focused on the hunt we did not spend nearly enough time discovering the other magical features of the Mansion and we will plan another trip soon.”

Learned so many interesting interesting things and had a ball!! Cannot wait to do another tour here!”

Knowing this was your first hybrid... you nailed it!Dan Navarro is a superb workshop leader, songwriter, performer and human being. He knows how to teach and build community in the process, and how to provide useful guidance while supporting and building confidence in all in the workshop. He makes learning so much fun, for everyone! Quite masterful. Thanks so much for doing!!”

Cindy Davis from DanFam, on May 24, 2021 said:

“I attended Dan Navarro's "Songwriting and the Creative Muse" songwriting workshop, and it was amazing. Dan was kind and welcoming while providing meaningful feedback, and I learned so much. The hybrid Zoom and in-person format worked great (I attended via Zoom). Any time you have Dan back for this workshop, either in person or virtually, I want to sign up! :) Thank you so much!”

Kristin Wenzler on May 19, 2021 said:

“This was a great find!! We were visiting from out of town and struggled to find activities due to covid closures. This was a FANTASTIC find. We had a great time searching through rooms, looking for secret doors and viewing all the pieces in the museum. We had two kids, 8 & 10 and they LOVED it. We went back through and relooked at some of our favorite rooms and items. Definitely would recommend. You could go again and again and always see something new, I'm positive. It would be amazing to spend a night here!!”

Julie Butterbaugh on May 12, 2021 said:

“I took out of state guests here for our event and everyone loved their experience! We were given a genuine welcome and left to our own devices to explore. 3 hours later we still hadn't covered even half of it, so we'll be going back for sure! If you haven't been here, you need to experience it! I've never seen anything quite like the Mansion!”

Morgan Schmidtke on May 9, 2021 said:

“Everyone went above and beyond. We spoke with the chef downstairs and he took the time to tell us the story of the kitchen painting and make our experience magical! Isaac also got excited about the doors we found with us as well as another young gentleman who showed us the gardens outside! We think we spoke with the lady who was the manager as well (forgive us for not catching your name!) and she made our experience warm and welcoming! My grandma also marveled at how clean everything b was and how we couldn't find a dust bunny anywhere in the whole museum! We spoke with the nice cleaning lady (also didn't get her name) who took pride in making the museum a home! We found 34 doors (this was our second visit, and we know of more doors in some of the rooms that were rented out)! Our grandma (whose first visit it was) raves about the experience. She has already started to plan a return visit and wants to tell all of her friends. We had an absolute blast! The added challenge of the hidden gem Hunt was good too! My husband took it seriously and counted every single item he could find... up to 110 angels!! What an adventure!! ”

“My wife and I attended a book signing by Brianna Thomas. Author of Black Broadway in Washington, DC. The artist spoked about her book, the experience of writing it, why she wrote it and then took questions from the audience. This event was profession, entertaining and meaningful in todays environment. The event was a socially distant event that took place in a converted garage! It was beautiful, spacious and airy. My wife and I felt comfortable the whole time we were there. We also had a chance to walk thought the secret garden. A true oasis in the middle of the city.”

The secret door tour (self guided) was so much fun. We found 8 of 70. We live in the area, work in DC, and can not believe we had never been before. Also, we appreciated the steps to stay COVID safe -- excellent job.”

Mache Chase on Apr 5, 2021 said:

“This experience was amazing! We found 22/70 hidden doors. The host told us he'd only found 42 and he's been working there for about 2 years so I'm super impressed with the hidden spots. If you have an opportunity please stop by! There's a pool table, scrabble, and chess for guests to play. Hand sanitizer is located throughout.”

“So. Much. Fun. My husband and I loved hunting for doors together and pointing out interesting items. There were several dream-building pieces that we want in the future (that glass table and ornate chess set was incredible)!! We had so much fun taking a few hints too. My husband is an architectural draftsman so my favorite part was when he was counting how many townhouses wide we had gone and said, "We are missing some space," before we found a secret door to another section of the houses! We had a BLAST. Thank you to the team there!!”

Mary Sawyer on Jan 24, 2021 said:

“3rd time I've visited the Mansion, bringing different friends each time. This time was the best. Adding the video prior to exploring is great. It's difficult to explain all the nuances adequately, so the video is very helpful in doing that. Reubin our host was awesome. Another gentleman arriving later was awesome also. It's good to understand the concept of the hidden doors better, thanks to our hosts. We actually found more than originally thought when including stained glass & closets. We spent hours leisurely exploring the first 3 floors, took a champagne break, then finished the tour with the lower level. Great way to spend a few hours on a cold, winter Saturday. Visiting the Mansion never disappoints.”

“What an amazing family outing. We went here for our Christmas family get away. The lay out was a bit challenging to maneuver but in a good way. (there are elevators if the stairs get to be too much. I just slowed down and let my (adult) kids go ahead of me.. ) My son was able to find at least 60 of the 70 doors. The wine area was one of the best spots for me. You must go there and just take in the ambiance. I love the Rosa Parks room and the Michael Jackson tribute. There was also a shout out to the great icon Prince!!! I do encourage you to take advantage of the parking. We were not able to park on the street and found the spot online that was walking distance. The neighborhood is eye catching and the walk was refreshing. I can go on and on.. just go its worth it.”

Michele Hopkins on Dec 29, 2020 said:

“ First off, I have to tell you that the staff did such an incredible job fixing up the garage. We had a magical time (and encouraged H's husband to please keep the room up and keep using it - a real treasure.) The transformation from Monday to Thursday was unbelievable. So, our thanks for making such a memorable evening for our group. We had a ball.Second, thank Jameel for the most delicious meal. We were absolutely wowed! From start to finish no detail was left out. Please thank him and the kitchen staff.”
