The Holocaust Museum was very moving. We were disappointed that the shoe exhibit wasn't there. That was one of the main things we wanted to see. Exhibit felt too full of people to be able to do all the reading that there was in it. Which people would walk in front of you to read themselves even though we weren't done. Which causes frustration with people. It would be great if it was updated with the audio readers. Then people wouldn't have the reading struggle.
The food was decent and the place was clean. Prices are reasonable. I certainly wouldn't go there to dine, but for a quick bite to eat I'll see in the museum, it was more than adequate.
It certainly doesn't deserve more than three stars, but I'm giving it four because for what it purports to do (museum cafeteria), it does very well.
The cafe was very nice and clean and the food was delicious. A little pricey but that is to be expected in a popular tourist area
Decent options for lunch or a snack when in the area. Pizza was $9 for a small personal size. It tasted good. We also got a pretzel, chips, a yogurt, and a hot dog.
Visiting this museum was so sad just knowing what happened and actually seeing the history behind it and reading the stories and see the images and artifacts from that horrible time period. You could feel the emotion from other people as you walked through and as the tour guide spoke about the exhibits and told the tragic history that millions of people experienced. I recommend visiting this museum if in Washington.
Such a well put together memorial and such a somber reminder of how the loss of freedom could be just a generation away. Such a reminder of the evil that was prevalent and the horrible fate of humans due to evil and the lack of courage from people unwilling to take a stand. Bring your note books and your tissues and learn the history of the evil known as the holocaust
The museum was fantastic, but also extremely crowded. So many people trying to get through the main exhibit that it was difficult to read all of the info. Great learning opportunity for the kids. Maybe a visit during off peak seasons would be best. Be sure to get timed tickets for main exhibit early.
Amazing. Reflective. Moving. Get tickets well in advance for the permanent exhibit. A must see.
definitely a bit pricey ($42 for a family of 3) , but a decent selection of food and what we got was really tasty!!! staff was friendly and helpful:)
Good cafe. Normal prices for a museum cafe, that is expensive. Takeout only at the moment.
It's crazy, even to go to the cafe you must go through security. Maybe that's the world we live in these days. If you are hungry and no where else to go, then well this is the place you go. That was us, while we were waiting for our tour group to start. Food was OK, but high for the quality of food you got. The staff could have been friendlier, and smiled, but maybe it's hard to be happy & cheerful working at the Holocaust Museum cafe.
Incorporates gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian diets. Buffet style lunch line. Around 20 tables that sits 4 chairs comfortably. Come before noon though because the line can extend from out the door due to large groups.
Insightful and a real eye opener, I recommend anyone visiting DC should definitely go there
