O Museum In The Mansion Reviews

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! ”

“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:)”

“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. ”

“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.”

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!”

Brianna on Dec 10, 2023 said:

“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. ”

Wendy Oberfeld on Nov 25, 2023 said:

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. ”

Tabatha on Nov 20, 2023 said:

“It was a birthday gift to my husband. He was surprised and said it was unexpected. It was entertainment for our whole family. We loved it. ”

Allison on Nov 1, 2023 said:

“We'd never been before and had no idea what to expect. I wasn't expecting so many things to see!! It was a lot of fun to wander around and try to find doors while looking at art and collectables. What a neat experience!”

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:

“We had such a great time. It was my oldest daughter's tenth birthday and we all had a blast looking around and hunting for hidden doors. I'll be back without the kids so I can take my time and explore more. Highly recommend this!”

Zabrina Lang on Oct 30, 2023 said:

“I'd never heard of this place except I saw a random TikTok about it last week and my friend and I decided to check it out. We had such a good time exploring the mansion and I highly recommend to other DC locals looking for fun things to do! Our favorite room by far was the Chucky room!”

Lee Ann Andrew from Retired, on Oct 29, 2023 said:

“This was the best experience. It is a must if you go to DC. Every room was amazing and the staff was superb. The challenge of finding the doors was exhilarating. I want to come back and stay there sometime. ”

Chris Rucinski - Somerville, MA on Oct 29, 2023 said:

“So fun! I spent about 90 minutes searching through the mansion for secret doors and had a blast once I sort of figured out what to look for. There were definitely dozens of compartments I didn't find, though I think I wouldn't have the patience to come back and really search. This spot is great for kids too, and the staff is very friendly. Highly recommend!”

Bex Moonah on Oct 13, 2023 said:

“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!”
