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!”

“A treasure and secret to be found around every corner. A great day with friends trying to find all of the hidden doors and passageways! Sunday is the best day for parking”

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. ”

Jo-Ann on Nov 27, 2023 said:

“Love this place!”

Wendy Oberfeld on Nov 25, 2023 said:

“I have now visited three times and this time I brought my family. It was wonderful as always.”

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. ”

Chris on Nov 19, 2023 said:

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!”

Siddharth Shah - San Francisco, CA on Oct 29, 2023 said:

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!”

Crystal Buchanan - Oklahoma City, OK on Oct 13, 2023 said:

“We had a blast at the secret doors museum! This was definitely a highlight of our trip to DC! If you are worried you will feel rushed, you WILL NOT unless you have booked something else immediately afterword like I did! This was my biggest regret... I wish I had not booked our brunch so soon, if I hadn't done that we would have had even more time to explore . Once you check in, you are free to explore at your own pace! 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.”

Stacy Cox - Raleigh, NC on Oct 13, 2023 said:

Selina Downes on Oct 10, 2023 said:

“A must to do activity in DC”

Vanessa on Oct 2, 2023 said:

“We liked the museum! There is so much to see that we were distracted from looking out for secret doors...It was nice that there were not that many visitors on that day and that hour,because we wanted to find the doors on our own and have the time to look around. We had a great time!”

Stephanie Armstrong on Sep 28, 2023 said:

“So amazing! We found 15 doors. Love the idea and the unique experience. Bravo to this organization for providing such a fun way to spend two hours in DC. Also the "late night" hours came in clutch. We would have not been able to attend if there wasn't flexibility on these nights. ”

Michelle Dierdorff - US on Sep 24, 2023 said:

“This was a unique experience. So many things to look at and very fun trying to find all the secret doors. Would definitely recommend checking this place out.”

Hakeem Stepney - Norfolk, VA on Sep 24, 2023 said:

“With the help of my group, we found 7 doors in short time! I had to leave early, but my experience was more than worth the time spent here. I will definitely be back to find Tinkerbell ”

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. ”

Linda on Sep 20, 2023 said:

Lori Orach on Sep 17, 2023 said:

“So much more than I expected! I was worried that my daughter would find it boring, but all she talks about is coming back again to bring her sister and her husband. Great experience! Would love to do an overnight.”

Hctor Gonzlez Hernndez on Sep 17, 2023 said:

“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.”

Lauren K on Sep 9, 2023 said:

“Fantastic experience! I took my girlfriend here for a surprise date and she loved the mansion and it's secret doors as much as I did. ”

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!!! ”
