Q&A

Q: Is there a minimum age requirement for this tour?

A: There isn't a strict age limit, but it's generally best for ages 10 and up since the tour can involve a lot of walking and some complex topics. Younger kids might find it a bit dull, but if they're interested in dinosaurs or American history, they might enjoy it just fine! Just keep an eye on their energy levels.

Q: How's the parking situation near the museums?

A: Parking can be tricky in that area, especially on weekends. There are a few garages nearby, but they can fill up fast. I'd recommend using public transport if you can. The Smithsonian Metro stop is super close to both museums, and it makes things so much easier!

Q: What should I wear for this tour? Is it a lot of walking?

A: Definitely wear comfy shoes! You’ll be doing a fair amount of walking between the museums and inside them. Dress in layers since it can be cooler inside and warm outside, depending on the season. And don't forget to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated!

Considering this Smithsonian tour as a gift - any thoughts?

I'm thinking about gifting the Smithsonian Natural History + Museum of American History tour to my parents for their anniversary. They love history and have always wanted to see the Ruby Slippers! Is the small group size really nice? I don’t want them to be stuck with a huge crowd. Also, how’s the tour guide's knowledge level?

Anyone been on the Smithsonian combo tour recently?

I'm planning a trip to DC and thinking about the Smithsonian combo tour. I've heard great things, but what's the real scoop? How long does it actually take, and do you think it's worth the price? What was your favorite part?
