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.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

I can’t believe I’ve lived my whole life without viewing baseball through a “uniquely postal lense!” The exhibits are super cool. Five stars.

A wonderful exploration of the postal system's diverse and interesting history! Best of all, it's free!
From stories about stamps to how the mail is delivered, the exhibits are engaging and full of interesting tidbits. I grew up with the introduction of Mr. Zippy and the ZIP code, so I really could relate.
There's just about everything here, including a philatelist shop for the hard core stamp collector.
Don't miss Owney, the USPS dog, captured for posterity, or the old mail sorting train replica.
Definitely a hidden treasure. Just loved!

Fabulous museum -- and it's free! Variety of displays of artifacts, placards, and video.
I particularly enjoyed the displays on:
o) Progress of postal delivery to the highly automated system of today
o) Postal inspectors and the important work that they do, from investigating criminal activity to keeping the mail going after disasters (I had no idea)
o) Counterfeiting of sports memorabilia
o) Some of the most famous stamps in the world and their back stories (and I am not normally intrigued by stamps)
o). Designing and creating stamps
This museum is further from the central Mall area, but it is not a far walk and definitely worth the visit. I think it is good for all ages.

This is a neat museum right across from Union Station. This is probably a couple hours worth of stuff. I loved looking at the stamps

Loved the gift shop but was there an hour before closing and they locked the bathrooms. A maintenance lady told me that they had bathrooms upstairs so I followed her directions and was removed from bathroom and escorted out of the museum like I was a criminal because “no one is allowed there”. Terrible experience and terrible guards.

This is an enjoyable museum with much smaller crowds than the Smithsonians on the Mall. The stamp exhibits are interesting and well done, and the special exhibit about baseball was fun (but seemed a little thin). The Daniel Burnham structure is beautiful.

Located across the street from Union Station, this was a good place to spend time between hotel checkout and train schedule. Union Station has a baggage storage area where you can leave your suitcase (for a fee). I think kids would enjoy this. And, if you’re into baseball, there’s exhibits about that, which was unexpected. Helpful note: there’s a phone charging kiosk near the escalator to the basement exhibits.

We were thrilled by this museum in this beautiful building. The exhibition was very informative, extensive and varied, beautifully done. In addition to the entire history of the postal service in the USA from the beginnings to the current tracking of dangerous mail, there was also a lot to see about postal stamps. You could even take some home for your own collection. The story of the postal dog Owney particularly touched us. It's nice that the brave dog has found a last place here. The museum staff are very friendly and helpful. Lots of families come here too. A somewhat different and highly recommended museum in Washington DC.

This is one of the best museums I have been to in a while. The first impression I had of this place was “OHHHH! This is going to be so boring 🥱” Then I started going through the stamp gallery and I was like “This isn’t my thing” I am not an avid stamp collector, but I had an absolute ball on the lower floor. One exhibition started ima dark forest and showed how mail delivery devolved over time. In this exhibition there was a carriage, in which you are allowed to climb into. There were many vehicles in which are used for transportation of mail carry. The current special exhibition is a cop one on how they find bad stuff in mail packages and parcels and a baseball one too! 📦 They had many interactive activities. My favorite activity was a scavenger hunt throughout the museum. The prize was a Mr Zip temporary tattoo and a Stamptastic temporary tattoo. I highly recommend this museum and would go every time I visit DC. Also don’t forget to get your 6 free stamps in the stamp gallery!!!!!
