Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.

I ordered tickets minutes before the next tour was starting at 10am; it was nice that there was an available slot last minute. But, do be aware that I came in late November, so this can vary if you visit at a more popular time like June-August. The first part of the tour wasn't too fun, with having to maneuver around a lot of people to read information on the walls. Half of the time, I skipped reading because I felt like I was standing in someone's way. However, for what I did learn, it was valuable and opened my mind beyond the act of the attack on Lincoln and saw how that moment came to be.
For instance, do you really know who John Wilkes Booth is? How was he able to get so close to the President? What was his motivation? All this and more, you can learn from this exhibit.
I was much happier when it was time to sit inside the real theatre the infamous event took place in, and guests were treated to a detailed story about the build-up to the assassination, including what Lincoln did that day- humanizing the former President in a way than most outlets tend to forget. The story is 20-minutes long with no video accompaniment, so without paying attention, you could get bored. Fortunately, you would not be shamed for skipping this portion of the tour or stepping out for any reason. But, I highly suggest to sit through all of it because by the end, I truly felt like I had a better perspective on history.
Afterwards, you're guided across the street to visit the home that Lincoln died in- which was itself a surprise. Did you know he didn't technically die in the theatre? Find out how when you visit this home that illustrates the aftermath of the assassination and how the United States was forever impacted by their loss.
You can choose to skip this part too, but I feel like you'd miss out. There's some great thought-provoking questions that you can carry in your minds afterwards, with my favorite being: Who is your Lincoln? Which president since him has most closely resembled his character & ideals? The options sure were interesting...
Overall, both buildings were clean and respectful to the President, and you get a full view of where he sat on that dreadful day. The crowds were very high for the tour having spare tickets, so a face mask would suffice (and fast reading is helpful). But I learned so much that now when I hear about this historical incident, I can observe it from a new angle, and see what can lead a man to take another one's life, and how we can try to prevent this from happening again.

It was so interesting to get to see the theater and hear the ranger tell us the story about the event and immediate aftermath. The ranger mentioned something that I took for granted (What if Lincoln got to finish his 2nd term?) until I was in the national portrait gallery and read about the president who succeeded Lincoln. What would have happened during Reconstruction if Lincoln was our leader?
The museum was okay - lots of artifacts were missing.

We watched the production of “A Christmas Carol” at the Ford Theatre and were very impressed by the show. They add did an excellent job and was Broadway quality. It was also neat to see a show at the same theatre Lincoln was in

It's actually quite amazing that this is still an operational theater. It is well preserved and it's beyond humbling to stand there and imagine the event that took place there. It can be tight, so it's nice they limit group size, but that means you have to plan ahead to get tickets. It's worth it.

Arrive, get your tickets scanned, and explore the museum. Wheelchairs available upon request. There is a gift shop located in the lobby. Museum is laid out so you follow history in a linear fashion. Decent amount to read, with a few videos here and there. Small number of artifacts on display, including the gun that killed Lincoln. Following the museum, enter into the theater itself, where a Park Ranger or docent can answer questions. See the booth where Lincoln was shot. Then, head across the street for more of the museum, a second gift shop, and of course the house where Lincoln died.
Parking can be a challenge. There is street parking in the surrounding streets, though can be hard to find and not free. There are also parking garages (also not free).

I bought tickets to see the auditorium where Lincoln was shot. However, although I was sold tickets for this. However a play was going on and they wouldn’t let me peek in. Very disappointing. The Forest Rangers don’t give a tour. It’s self tour and tight so if the people in front of you were slow, it took long.

We learned so much from visiting Ford's Theater and the Petersen House where Lincoln was taken after being shot. The museums tell the story of the events before, during and after, and has artifacts that make history come alive. The Park Ranger in the Petersen House was very knowledgeable and provided information about the night that Lincoln was shot. It is well-worth the small charge ($3.50 each). Check their website CALENDAR to insure that you will be going at a time when you will be able to see the theater since it is a working theater that may be closed if there is a play/event scheduled. Elevators make this handicapped accessible.

Otroligt välgjort museum med välgjorda filmer ( något som fanns på alla museum i Washington). Fick koll på all historia kring Abraham Lincoln och hans tid som president och tidigare. Jätte bra gjort. Sen att få se både teatern där han blev skjuten och sängen han dog, det är riktig historia det.

More than a memorial to a late president, the theater gives a susbstantial glimpse into the person as well as the events that shaped his presidency. Learned a lot never knew about Lincoln. Self-guided tour ends with a walk into the balcony seating where one can see (but not visit) the Presidential box. Recommended

we thought it was a well done tour and would recommend. They seemed to pace groups of people fairly well to keep the size manageable. Well maintained and organized. Don't miss the Peterson House across the street and included in your admission.

Online checkout for tickets says by clicking I agree to abide by covid protocol, including a negative test or proof of vaccination. Anyone been there recently to know whether they're requiring a negative test or proof of vaccination??

We were there mid-April. No Covid requirements of any kind, masks optional.
How much time should we budget for our visit (September 2021)? We have a historic site ticket for both the museum and the theater walk through.

It's a great place to visit, but I can't see spending 2 hours here. We saw about half of the museum, climbed to the theatre box, went to the gift shop and were out in under an hour.

For the show performances that start at 7:30pm (we're going to see guys and dolls), how long do they last? About 2 hours? Trying to figure out dinner plans...don't mind eating late, but will also consider earlier depending on our other activities schedule. Thanks.

I would have thought guys & dolls would play around 2.5hrs, there may be an intermission also, so possibly add another 15mins.
For dining before or afterwards I can recommend “Old Ebbitt Grill” simply superb, one of there specials are the Crab Cakes.
Enjoy & have a great time.

hi! As far as I know, you need to book your visit in advance, or take your chance at the box office. There is no tour guide, but you can rent the audio guide. You can't go in any time you want because the place is not big, and they have a max number of people every 30 minutes. So, you when you book, you choose the admission time and everyone who booked the same time will be admitted together.

If we have timed tickets to Ford's Theater for 3:30pm, would we have enough time to see the theater and Peterson house and make a dinner reservation at Carmine's for 5:30?

I had a similar thing had reservations 2 hours after our start time. I got so caught up in everything to see we did not come close to making it. It all depends how much you are into history and how "awed" you are by being in such a historical place.

I have tickets for the Ford's Theatre museum entrance and tour at 10:00am. May I visit the Peterson house first, say at 9:30am? I have tickets to enter the National Archives at 11:30am and want to make sure I have enough time at the Ford's Theatre.

It depends on how many people are there and if you have to wait, I agree with the previous comments about needing at least 45 - 60 minutes to really see the Peterson house, but you can walk through faster if you like.

Hello! I will be visiting Ford's Theatre in the end of July. I plan on doing the museum, the ranger talk and Petersen House.
But I wonder if the aftermath exhibits are also worth visiting?
Thank you so much!

Yes, the exhibits at Petersen House are very informative & interesting. WE learned a lot about Lincoln's killing& its aftermath. Definitely worth a visit.

Is there an entrance on 10th St NW? We’re planning to walk from the Mall, but my GPS says we should go down 9th, past it, around the block, and then down what might be an alley(?).
