What To Expect

Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History

Your guide will take you to visit the highlights of the collection, housed in a massive building that covers the area of 18 football fields. Gaze into the world-famous Hope Diamond, whose brilliant blue sparkle, and immodest size at 46 karats, captured the attention of former owner Marie Antoinette. Wander through the displays of gems and minerals, including the Dom Pedro Aquamarine, the world’s largest gem of its type, which glows brilliantly from within. Travel back in time to learn about death rituals while exploring real mummies from Ancient Egypt. Then step out of the past into the wild, exploring the mighty polar bears, elephants, and giraffes that roam across earth’s surface. From the land, jump into the sea at the Ocean Hall, where you’ll discover a live coral reef exhibit as well as a 45-ton whale, Phoenix, which is a replica of a real living what that the museum tracks. By the end, you’ll understand why so many people come to visit the 126.5 million artefacts housed at the National Museum of Natural History.

The BEST tour for our family

This was the BEST way for us to see the Museum. Donna was fantastic as our tour guide and was able to make it interesting and thrilling for our group (ages 7, 17, an adult and senior citizen). She led us to all the coolest spot that kept everyone engaged. We learned so many interesting and wonderful things. It was perfect for the amount of time we had, and she also made us want to come back for another tour in the future!

The tour guide made the difference

Our tour guide Anthony was an English teacher by trade but he would definitely give any history teacher a run for their money. He was witty, funny and full of facts that added value to the tour. I will not visit another museum without a tour guide. I would definitely take this tour again.

Great family time!
