“It was an amazing experience. Very different than any other museum we visited.Must see!”

Zeyu Qiu on Mar 8, 2024 said:

“A perfect one time experience, best for first time travelers to DC, although I would like to come back next time :). You can never forget the excitement you get when you find the first secret door and get hooked. The place has a lot of collectibles and there is bound to be something that interests you!”

John Pilla on Mar 6, 2024 said:

“My wife and I had a great time looking at all the great memorabilia scattered throughout the mansion and trying desperately to find as many of the secret doors and rooms as possible. We were able to find about a dozen of the secret chambers (some with the help of other searchers) and we promised ourselves we will be back to try to find more! It is such a great time!”

Lisa Wood from Scholastica, on Mar 4, 2024 said:

“The Mansion on O Street welcomed us on a tour leader training trip. We had so much fun in this one-of-a-kind experience. The team is so welcoming and kind. We can't wait to go back and give our groups this unique experience. Thank you! ”

“Loved the hotel and many of the secret doors we founded. I would definitely visit again”

Pam Lipscomb on Feb 29, 2024 said:

“My group had a lovely time. Your docents(?) were very knowledgeable and interesting and we enjoyed conversing with them. I loved the bathrooms and tubs!!!”

Susan Steck from Stanley Martin Homes, on Feb 29, 2024 said:

“Always a great time at the Mansion! Brought some more people to see. Best kept secret in DC!”

David from The King of West Virginia , on Feb 23, 2024 said:

“It was my 3rd visit, and I still noticed new things. I brought a friend from Medellin, Colombia and she loved it. Her daughter works for Georgetown University and my guess is She and her friends will be stopping by soon, too. 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." Thanks for a wonderful morning and Mandy's warm treatment as we showed up at 9:00am.”

Eric Kruschke on Feb 23, 2024 said:

“Really interesting place!Loads of stuff everywhere...not sure how people would have the space to stay in the rooms!!My wife and I were up and down the place several times and only found about 12 doors...or about 18 if you count both sides...so I've no idea where the other SIXTY doors were hiding!!Nice way to burn a couple hours...not sure I'd come back, unless given a hint or two about how to find more.”

Peggy Hernandez on Feb 20, 2024 said:

“We had a great time at the museum, we thought it was lots of fun. The kids (ages 10 - 13) enjoyed searching for doors, rooms and Tinkerbells! The boys particularly enjoyed the Chucky Room. I appreciated the docent at the introduction speaking directly to the kids also and giving us things to look for, it definitely helped our experience.”

Susan Julian on Feb 20, 2024 said:

“Amazing and fun adventure!”

Ian Wilmoth on Feb 20, 2024 said:

“The staff were so fun! Really made my visit to the Mansion extra special.”

“Really fun place to hang out and explore in! Would have been even better if we had more time in our trip itinerary to relax in the mansion. Overall a great experience!”

Mary Shultz - Washington, DC on Feb 17, 2024 said:

“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.”

Debbie Fisher - Richboro, PA on Feb 17, 2024 said:

“Great time. Lost in stuff for 90 minutes”

Simca Dobson - Los Angeles, CA on Feb 17, 2024 said:

Autumn Anderson - Chicago, IL on Feb 17, 2024 said:

“Quirky but fun experience, but a little overstimulating! I did not know Rosa Parks stayed there, which was a nice bonus. I also found a trinket and a book, plus over 10 doors...worth the visit!”

Jason Lester on Feb 17, 2024 said:

“Fantastic!”

Patrick Kahn - US on Feb 17, 2024 said:

“Lots of fun for our group. Spent about 2 hours here.”

M on Feb 17, 2024 said:

“Didn't stay at the hotel, but went through the museum. This is an amazing collection of a little of everything. Plan to spend a lot of time to see as much as you can. The hidden rooms make the experience that much more fun.”

Starr on Feb 15, 2024 said:

“We did a self guided tour and it was fantastic! Something that's not talked about enough is the expertly curated music playing throughout the mansion! 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.”

Quentin Simmons on Feb 12, 2024 said:

“Staff was very helpful with our special needs son”

Suzanne S. LaPierre from FCPL, on Feb 7, 2024 said:

“This is a fabulous place. We had a lot of fun finding hidden doors and admiring the collectibles. I enjoyed learning more about Rosa Parks' later years and seeing her room. The live bluegrass music was a happy surprise, as was the bartender (and his signature Old Fashioned).”

Teri Claar on Feb 5, 2024 said:

“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 ”

“A fantastic experience that will evoke a wide of emotions from excitement to ”

Susan Volman from Dupont Circle Citizens Association, on Jan 25, 2024 said:

“The Dupont Circle Citizens Association had our annual January "Resolutions" Party at the Mansion, as a Dessert and Champagne Celebration. The food, venue, and set-up were all fabulous. 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! ”

Debby Missal on Jan 15, 2024 said:

“Amazing place! Everyone had so much fun. The food was incredible and the staff is so friendly and helpful. Truly the coolest place in DC!”

Maya on Jan 6, 2024 said:

“What an amazing adventure this was! My friend and I truly enjoyed ourselves and the challenge of trying to find all the secret doors/passages. Every team member (employee) was incredible, so polite, and extremely helpful! What an amazing crew! I highly encourage everyone to take the time to seek out this gem:)”

Susan on Jan 4, 2024 said:

“We had so much fun at the mansion! Easy walk from the metro. We did the Champagne New years night and it was a blast. The staff was very helpful and friendly! We will be back for sure (we didn't find all the doors!) One of our best date nights!!”

Gillian Woodward from Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research, on Jan 4, 2024 said:

“Holiday parties can be tricky.. you made it easy! Our staff had a great time at the Mansion, from the food to the decorations everything was perfect. This was a great way to celebrate our staff and give us an opportunity to engage with one another on a social basis. The self-guided tours helped keep the group occupied until our White Elephant exchange and the food was delicious! Even the playlist was perfect. Thanks so much for everything! ”

Brianne Fischer from Fischer Consulting, LLC, on Jan 3, 2024 said:

“Our New Year's Eve at the Mansion on O Street was enchanting. The blend of whimsical charm and curious elements created a perfect ambiance for celebration. The experience leaves us eager to return with more friends and family. Thank you for the excellent experience. ”

Scott D Gallimore on Jan 2, 2024 said:

“The museum is remarkable!!! We have never been anywhere like it. The combination of hotel, lavish decorations, curio shop, antique store, and secret doors are astounding. The museum is so creative, fun, and inviting! Absolutely wonderful!”

Stacey on Jan 1, 2024 said:

“Hidden treasure in DC. We went earlier in the day and beat the crowds. Staff were engaging and helpful. A return visit is already on my list!!”

Barbara Blakistone - Harrisburg, PA on Dec 30, 2023 said:

“It's way more than "secret doors.”

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.”

Ryan Olaguer - Baltimore, MD on Dec 30, 2023 said:

Kristina Kruglyak - San Diego, CA on Dec 30, 2023 said:

“Quick trip to Washington DC with my daughters and this was definitely the highlight. We went to the White House, the monuments, the Smithsonian, etc., but this beat them all. Definitely prioritize this when you are in DC.”

Judy Corbett on Dec 30, 2023 said:

“The Secret Door tour was great and so much fun. The house is very funky; we were there for almost 2 hours. My daughter and I only found 6 hidden doors during that time. ”

Betsy Swan from Allen Industries, Inc., on Dec 28, 2023 said:

“I booked the Christmas Eve Breakfast and Tour for my family, and we thoroughly enjoyed the Mansion. This was my husband's and my 2nd visit, and we found more to look at than the 1st visit. You have a wonder in what you have and what you allow visitors to see - our 9 year old grandson was still commenting today about the Mansion trip. Thank you H and Ted!! You are amazing.”

“Enjoyable, fun and interesting to explore the rooms and see the memorabilia. ”

Erika from Element Solutions, on Dec 21, 2023 said:

“We had employees in town for a company event and decided to do the Secret Door tour afterward as a fun activity. Overall, everyone seemed to enjoy it. 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.”

Sandy Wester on Dec 18, 2023 said:

“The museum was quite fun. We spent a few hours here exploring the different floors and rooms; trying to find the secret doors and passageways. I wish it wasn't quite so hot, and it was also hard to find parking. But would totally do it again!”

Ella Habib - North Bethesda, MD on Dec 18, 2023 said:

Bernie Snead - US on Dec 18, 2023 said:

“Fun spot for working as a team with your group. You must return it's no way to find a majority of the hidden doors in 1 day. Especially if the room is booked by someone staying in the boutique hotel. Hidden gem in D.C. for sure!”

“Me & my boyfriend went here yesterday & had an amazing time. This museum truly is a hidden gem and a unique experience. You could spend an entire day here not just looking for the hidden doors/ rooms but admiring all of the art work, the eclectic interior designs , the quirky little nicknacks , reading up on the famous people who have stayed there etc. It was truly a great experience for family's, friends & dates.”

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”

Benny from Personal , on Nov 29, 2023 said:

“The Robert James Workshop event was phenomenal. You always learn something significant when attending an event the O-Museum and you get to meet some of the most interesting people in the world. Every time I come to DC, I make a point of getting by the museum if my schedule permits. And although I have been there more than 5 times, there is always something new to discover. ”

Jennifer Nein on Nov 25, 2023 said:

“We had a great time exploring the Mansion, getting lost in time as we perused all the incredible items and decor throughout the Mansion, and of course, sneaking through secret passages. The only complaint is we didn't give ourselves enough time - Next time we certainly will! ”

Kurt P Jaeger on Nov 24, 2023 said:

“Touring the Mansion was a really cool experience. This place is really different and fun.”

Kim on Nov 23, 2023 said:

“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. ”

Jeremy from 11/18/23, on Nov 20, 2023 said:

“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. ”
