Exhilarating - The staff was so helpful with any questions our group had. They were very kind and patient in showing how most of the simulations worked, and most of all the experience of it all was so amazing to say the least. Our only regret is we wish we would have tried the drinks at the bar, but we were so mesmerized by the display we didn’t even think about it until after we left.

Worth a Visit - We had a great family visit! It was not too crowded, thanks to the reservation system. The images in the main room and side displays are beautiful and informative. It really helped to use our phones to read information via the QR codes.

Looking for something new? - I’ve been to D.C. 6-7 times at this point, and have done all the usual stuff. I look for events or things to do now that are unique to the area or just something new. This place didn’t disappoint! They also have a really cool bar with great drinks.

Amazing immersive experience in DC - I've been going to Artechouse since it opened and have visited nearly every exhibit- so this review is for Artechouse in general. If you like immersive experiences, then you will like this! It's usually a very relaxing experience to sit in the main room and just enjoy the loop (usually 20-30 mins in length) of art projected across the entire room. Very instagrammable!

Too little identification or explication of the phenomena but clearly a lot of work. - We saw the Van Gogh exhibit in Paris but this was so different. I think we could have used a guide since we did not understand much of the exhibit. Two staff worked with us for a bit to explain the concept but it still was difficult to absorb.

Kinda mid - Interesting but I think overall it missed the mark. While we were dazzled with the visual light show we all kinda left confused. Also couldn't buy youth tickets online only adult so it wasn't a good value.

A waste of time and money - I found the experience remarkable disappointing. From the advertising, I thought there would be more photos fro the Hubble Telescope. I felt cheated when there were less than a handful of real photos. The experience was mostly a barrage of graphics that had nothing to do with outer space. I feel your advertising was misleading and the visuals were essentially pointless.

Ripoff - What a waste of time and money. This is a complete joke of a venue. The big room you see in the promo is the main attraction. Different scenes of digitally enhanced scenes from NASA telescopes are minimally impressive (but,but, but art!) and the music is too loud......it adds nothing to the experience. The doors off to the sides are smaller displays. On the left is some type of interactive (lame) exhibit on the temperature of the sun. There is another room with some interactive science stuff, but the presentation is cumbersome and not that interesting. And then there are two rooms with the obligatory "health of the Earth", climate change drivel blah,blah......all displayed on large electronic screens powered by electricity from good ol' coal. What a crock. The room on the right from the big room is right before the exit with another lame exhibit, this time about the moon. And......you are out the door then and there, realizing you have just been scammed. It is that bad. Do not! Do not waste your money on this tourist trap. I imagine those who go completely high and wasted might find it enjoyable, but I feel sorry for the young families that wasted their money on this!
