Worth your time! - Excellent information and do NOT miss the "show" with Washington's Tent. Gave us chills to see it! We spent about 2 1/2 hours here but could have spent more time. Also, look up Alexander Hamilton's address, it's right around the corner!

Things they don’t tell you in school - Allow yourself enough time. We only had 90 minutes and we should have dedicated 2 hours or more. Interesting movies to see and get off your feet for awhile. The narration was very well done

Another perspective on the Revolution. - Love history. This was a different perspective. Not just battles, but other events around the revolution (and the idea that it was just the start and the revolution is ongoing.) spent 2 hours and could have spent a little more.

Take a deep dive into the Revolutionary period. - What a wonderful museum! We bought tickets with the audio guides which really enhanced our experience with the exhibits. The unexpected highlight was the presentation of George Washington's war tent - very touching. We spent about 3 hours in the museum and highly recommend it to take a deep dive into the Revolutionary period of American history.

Renew Your History! - Our docent Blaise gave a terrific tour of this fabulous museum. During Covid, I had used two of their Zoom programs so I was excited to see the real thing in person. I was blown away. It has the best displays and interactive parts.

Good but mornings are crowded. - Very nice museum. A lot of school groups, which is great, but it was hard to read captions and look at displays. Should have gone in the afternoon. I went on a Friday morning
