Reviews
It is a real neat exhibit. Your passenger card is a very nice twist. Your wondering if you survived the disaster or not.
This was an amazing experience! Actual artifacts from the Titanic that are in amazing condition! I left it a couple of the biggest relics as you have to see them to 1. Believe it and 2. Feel the feels!! A must do!!
I was so intrigued by the museum. The artifacts have me chills. I was sadden by all the names on the board. But the story is sad itself. Just a part of history that we will remember in our lifetime.
I can't tell you how much I loved this place, I almost wish it was bigger with more huge rooms and longer. I didn't want to leave but it got crowded around 12 on a Saturday. The bar filled up fast. The bartender suggested a mocktail that was SO good. It's like almost a zen club feel too it without the overcrowding and dance music. It's so relaxing, the staff are friendly and fun. Very good energy and vibes. I want to come back for sure, I tried to get the free spaces in the roundabout but asked and couldn't park in front of the apartment building so I found the parking garage right outside. It's $12 for 1 hour or less, it was $15 because I stayed a little over an hour.
I really had a fun time. 10/10 experience. It’s definitely a place that would be fun to go with your partner. Definitely should try and watch all the videos they have to offer. Take the slide down to the bar. It’s really unexpected
I would highly recommend this place for anyone who loves interactive art mixed with technology. It’s all right in the name of the place. We had such a good time and drinks are delicious, a great way to enhance your experience! I got their mochi mocktail and it was fantastic. I recommend sitting in the main gallery for some time to get the full experience and then go off to the side rooms for more fun.
The immersive experience is a must-do in DC! The three parts to the exhibition just keeps getting better as you go along. It gives you the feeling of living through Van Gogh’s works. Fascinating and relaxing!
I visited during the PixelBloom / Cherry Blossom exhibit and initially thought.. not a fan of those 2 things. However, the concept and what Artechouse does made those thoughts an afterthought..quickly.
The combo of art and tech is amazing.
Gorgeous displays of color and movement with a hint of interactive pieces was really cool.
I could sit for hours in the large room just relaxing and being immersed.
Definitely hope to visit more locations and exhibits in the future. Highly recommend.

This exhibit was very interesting and educational! The Grand Staircase was nice, however, the downside is they won't let you take your own photos in the room. They want to sell you print photos in several areas for the exhibit including the staircase. You receive a ticket at the beginning and can find out if you survived at the end. The exhibit was very impressive.
I thought I knew enough about Van Gogh before, but this exhibit really delved into all aspects of his life and art. Good place to bring kids. The immersion room was spectacular.
We've been to a couple of the Artechouse exhibits, and as impressed as we were with the first one, each new one gets better and better.
This butterflies exhibit is a feast for the eyes. Absolutely beautiful, and there's no way pictures can possibly do it justice.
You've got to see it for yourself.

What a blast. For any adult looking to have fun and open-minded about sex this is a fun place. The adult toys for sale are obviously priced a bit high but the museum is what you're there for. The interactive experience is fun for damn sure. We went early in the day, it wasn't busy and we were able to enjoy everything. I took pics, but ya..... kinda can't post much here, lol. I recommend it.
This was smaller than I anticipated but I still had a great time interacting with the butterflies and the kids that were there (not mine) seemed to have a great time. I wish they had admission for just the butterfly house and not make you pay for the rest of the science museum. I certainly took lots of pics.
I've always wanted to check this place out and wasn't disappointed. You're taken on a trip from videos and artifacts on sex toys, sex history through music, films, etc, and it's definitely a good teaching tool. My fav experiences were the game room, 4D Tunnel of Love and the Pink Room. I explored for about 2 hours bit could've lasted much longer. Overall, great experience.
One of the coolest and best exhibits i attended. They told a story and did a great job of taking you into the ship as a guest while showing your artifacts as an outsider. A great experiance.
This was a very interesting exhibit with many items from the titanic on display. We learned a lot about the tragedy during our visit. There was one aspeft that was a little disrespectful though. They give you a "ticket" to the ship when you enter and it has the information of an actual passenger. At the end of the exhibit, you find out if your person survived or not. I would hate if I had an ancestor who perished having their death be part of a tourist gimmick.
A must-do! Read about his life, look at his paintings and feel what he felt. He painted his eyes with such sadness, a longing. Take your time.
The downside, the constant smell of marijuana on people who worked there.

The site was spectacular. In there for 3 hours straight
Amazing time at the museum and the shop! Please go!! But do not rush through the museum. Take your time to go through and really pay attention. There is so much in here and it’s easy to miss if you go too quickly. You can tell it’s been carefully curated and not just “oh it’s dirty or sexy so throw it in” - The shop staff was busy, but I get it, they were crazy busy with people and probably more worried about watching for people stealing and not worried about the ones buying.
Nice exhibit, highly recommend!
Room with all-around projection and paintings turned into movies was impressive, virtual reality also very good. Rest was okay. They 'built' some of the paintings so that you can have your picture taken sitting/standing in the painting.
Very fun and unique experience for both kids and adults! It was $10 per adult and $8 for child 3+, children 2 and under were free. The building was very clean;multiple places to sanitize your hands and a designated washroom area. They have a gift shop and a movie theater. The movie theater was open at the time and they had a cartoon segment playing.
There are a lot of interactive activities you can do: giant walk wheel, see how high you can jump, how long you can hang, giant intestine for the kids to crawl through, mind games/puzzles, etc. If you really wanted to browse the place and do the activities, it’ll take about 1-2 hours of your time and with kids probably more.
The possibilities of discovery was endless! They even have a real time lab you can look in one. So many activities for younger children and even adults. I even saw infants having a good time. You can go in a group or even solo, and still have an enjoyable experience. My family enjoyed the museum and all its contents. Definitely worth visiting and having fun.

Very good history in here
Fun experience to do. Museum was small, lots of interactive activities for kids. Make sure to check out the lab.
The only thing I can complain was that the AC was too cold. It was 100 degree outside and I was freezing inside.

Wonderful to walk among the floating butterflies.
A good place for kids to learn about their body as well as the germs.
Young kids can feel the difference of each body part, older kids have puzzles and lots of games to play and have fun.
That big heart is so cool!
Thursday after 5pm is free.

It was very interesting. We had a lot of fun even with our time constraints. The price is certainly worth it with how much stuff they have for you to look at and games to play.
I would recommend you portion a good amount of time to look and explore their exhibits. We did not unfortunately, but still had tons of for the time we had.
Every employee was so nice and understanding. Can't say enough good things about it.

Wonderful place to take children. Very educational, even for adults. We went on a free admission day, Thursday, so it was packed. Very fun though!
They should've had the real Nile river there, now that would have been sick
Artechouse in Washington DC is highly recommended at least by us! We had the most amazing time while here! It was worth every penny paid! It is for all ages and if you love art and having interaction with it well you will love this! It was a blast! The environment was clean, they had an elevator, public restrooms, a guide, and we walked in at the perfect time to join the group that had already been gathered. The temperature was comfortable and the people were kind and considerate. Thank you Artechouse! We will be coming back, or going to one of the other locations! The theme this time was ‘pixel bloom’. Loved it!
This was a great experience! Got to see the Timeless Butterflies event, which was very interactive and visually impressive. Another plus is that some of the exhibits are puzzles, but even if you were there to "flail around" and interact for your own enjoyment it was great. Would definitely recommend!
This is an amazing exhibit of animals from the Congo, not limited to gorillas. I have ethical reservations about gorillas in captivity , but after watching the show “the zoo” and learning about how extensive their care plan is and especially what they do for the gorilla sin their old age, I grew to appreciate this exhibit much more. Enjoy and don’t bang on the glass!
A unique and most serene place in the museum with a nice water feature.
Very nice setup with temple inside the museum. If you want peopleless photos go there just after the opening at 10am directly. Whole museum is huge like 3-6hrs.
One of the coolest museums I’ve ever been to, plus super fun. They had a lot of interesting items here to say the least. Superfunland at the end of the museum was really the best part though. Very interactive and chances to win free prizes. Definitely worth checking out!
This was an awesome experience! We had a great time.
We had such a phenomenal time at the Butterfly exhibit.
Our sons age 7/11 love the interactive part of it as well. We did to. It was fun for us all to participate and learn! Definitely must see! Take the kids!

This place is a must-see pitstop 🚏 when visiting The Metropolitan Museum of Art! 🎨 This iconic historic exhibit was donated by Egypt 🇪🇬 to the USA 🇺🇸, was shipped by a boat 🚢, and reassemble at the museum! 🏛️ This spot provides amazing opportunities for some Instagram-worthy 🤳 photos 📸 - definitely bring your best camera! 📷 I wish I had more time ⏱️ to spend here!
Wow, what an amazing experience. I would recommend this to any one. Especially those that are art fanatics. The exhibit starts with history about Van Goghs life, his works of art, where his inspiration came from, and his tortured history with mental illness and epilepsy. I learned so much about the is famous artist. Then the immersive experience was art itself. Whoever created this digital show of Van Goghs major works of art did a fabulous job. The time and effort that went in to making his art and words come to life. The tickets are about $50 for adults and $37 for military. I didn’t really appreciate the $5 per ticket processing fee from “Fever” the company that sells the tickets nor the VR costing an additional $5 rather than being included. Otherwise I thought it was worth the price. Parking is free for 2 hours as they validate. Highly recommend trying this out, it is a unique experience.
Beautiful renovation done to the Congo section of the zoo, the animals habitat also had plants you would actually find in the Congo, love the attention to detail to the renovations, the animals seemed like they were truly at home
Its smaller than expected, lab section was closed so entry price is not justified for just half a section. Other than that it was fun experiment for kids to discover the internal mechanisms of human body.
Fantastic way to engage kids in the world of art. Magical experience and informative. Learnt loads about his life. Parking on site is a bonus. We hadn’t pre-paid for the VR headsets but we were able to buy for an extra $5 at the end, which we did. We spent about 90 minutes in total - at least half an hour sitting in a deck chair in the interactive room. Expensive when compared to other museums but was definitely a great experience. Was it worth it? Hard to put a price on it. I’d say a bit overpriced, but I would definitely recommend.
I’m a big fan of Van Gogh to start with and I thought I knew a good deal about his art and life but I learned so much more at this exhibit. The gallery is very engaging. It has plenty of “moving parts” to hold even a child’s attention. Also, there are interactive areas where you can be part of the painting. I could go again and again. I actually didn’t think I would be especially interested in the VR experience but it turned out to be the high light of the exhibit. The only thing I didn’t love was having to pay extra for VR. The tickets are already a little pricey so an addition $5 seemed unnecessary but still if you go, do the Virtual Reality. You’ll thank me later.
Our family took the metro in and it was super easy to get to the exhibit from the metro stop. A 10 minute walk at most and not through any sketchy areas. If you drive and take someone who has trouble getting around the nice thing is the parking lot for the Van Gogh Experience is right by the door to get in, couldn’t get any closer. This would be very accessible for those who need it. Lots of wide open spaces and benches spread through the exhibit.
We really loved the experience! I’m an artist myself and had set my standards low just in case but was pleasantly surprised. The information presented was very detailed and the digital projections spread throughout the exhibit kept it so none of them were every crowded with people. The final room with a 360 degree view was amazing with many seating options.

I enjoyed my experience with this exhibition. I think they did a great job seeing what they were able to restore from the titanic. It was also interesting and nice to see how they show some of the personal belongings of the passengers such as wallets or perfume cases. I would say it's a good place to definitely go when you have time on your hands to really get the full experience. Overall I feel that learned a lot but still had a fee questions and would've liked more details regarding the passengers and if they survived or not.
We didn't get to the show, even though we bought a ticket, because I fainted, although there were only a few people in the queue. The staff was very polite and concerned. Everyone was very nice. Manager Polina called the doctors and offered water. We were immediately refunded the money. Next time we arrive we will try again))
As a scientist, I love this place. There are many rooms interconnected with different body parts and senses, activities for think about, and temporary expos always great. You need to know it. Go!
Very fun 🤩 and definitely took my boyfriend out his comfort zone 😂 The first part is a normal museum with artefacts and info. Really cool stuff. The second part is a “carnival” type of thing and there are some interactive games and experiences there 👀 😂 That’s all I’ll say. I have a 4 star though because of the price point. I ordered tickets online and I feel that we could’ve gotten away with just the lowest tier and still could’ve done everything.
The Tropical Butterfly House is awesome. It promotes awareness of the conservation effort in El Salvador. Watching the butterflies flying inside the green house was very pleasant.
Magical place! I wish I had more time to spend there. There are plenty of photo opportunities. I most enjoyed watching the butterflies coming out of thier cocoons.
My son, granddaughter, and I had the most amazing experience and so much fun. From learning about our bodies, the interactive games, to the awesome Cell Lab. This museum is very family friendly, well organized, and very clean, with an engaging and friendly staff.
Like everyone else this has been high on my list of places to go while in NYC. We finally made the plan to go this time and while we admittedly had a blast, it was a bit of a let down in a way. The Super Funland aspect was obviously the best part and was a ton of fun. But the actual “museum” exhibit aspect definitely lacked. All in all, we’re glad we took the time and spent the money to go but don’t be too disappointed if you can’t fit it into your trip this time around. And if you do go, don’t miss the Photo Booth in the gift shop on your way out.
this is the museum! Take away one star due to mediocre cafe.
Went during the winter, not sure if that changes anything. Was a little under welming but still very cool. A bit pricey if thats the only reason youre going, but still very fun and cute as a date.
Didn’t deliver on its exciting premise. Most of it was like walking through an exhibit, where you read signs and learn from little film loops. But the whole thing was about the rituals around the death of Eqyptian kings at the time, with too much emphasis on the least scientific aspects; that is, the Afterlife. The final room was the most disappointing: a Disneyesque imagining of Tut’s journey and arrival in his afterlife that was based on absolutely nothing but the mind of a fantasist. And hello, SOUNDTRACK?? Nothing but rumbling bass and the meandering sounds of antique instruments. Why not some specially written songs, or some exciting world music? And why no mention of the famous curse, which is most of what people think they know about the discovery? Just a baffling misuse of resources that dumbed down a great story to something like silliness.
I have been to digital art and mixed media exhibits before and this falls at the bottom of the list! The journey of King Tut through the afterlife is suitable for a classroom of second graders! Everything else is photos and videos of knowledge that can be found across the web. Disappointing!
If you have any interest or appreciation for Egyptian history, this is a must see. It's hard to explain how cool it is to see this in person.
Definitely not worth the money!! Wish we had known that we could’ve cancelled 24 hrs prior to the event and save our money, but we had read the reviews too late. Sad that National Geographic sponsored this. There are no artifacts of any kind….I think we walked through the whole thing within 30 minutes
This was such a unique experience and very informative absolutely a must see!!
3 out of 5 stars: 1 star minus - parking is $40 (+5 if paying with cc). Seriously?
2nd star minus - experience starts great as an introduction but as you walk through it, it looses you as to why and what…. Information is not chronologically laid out and artifacts, although historic, loose its importance. The final act felt more of a cartoon then an experience. In the end we walked out and were still curious what was this all about.

What a let down…..save your money, watch a documentary on tv. Parking $40, toilets out of order, had to go in a port-a-loo outside, couldn’t even wash our hands anywhere after, it was a couple of plaques to read walking around, then a very strange animated film in a big room. The VR ‘experience’ was a 5 minute video, which was cool enough but too short. Completely underwhelmed with the whole thing. Sorry for the bad review, but I wouldn’t want anyone else wasting their money
This was a great family experience! My sixth grade and ninth grade sones both appreciated it, and my mom and dad thought it was both beautiful and fascinating. My sixth grader enjoyed contributing some of his own observations that confirmed the Egypt unit he is currently working on in school.
The rooms were spacious enough that you never felt cramped and the lighting was so cool. We rehashes the things that amazes us in the train ride home. Even though it was a rainy day, we were able to walk around outside under the bridge. A lovely experience!

My experience has been unsatisfactory the VR and Video were not working I paid for two tickets 60.00 dollars extra for ea. tickets, at the end when you arrive at the store the manager they let you choose something in the store that costs 60 dollars or less but it does not have many things to choose from and you can choose only one thing less than 60.00 dollars and if something costs more than 60.00 dollars you cannot choose even if you want to pay the difference so in the end you end up losing your money don't buy the VIP package because they don't give you a refund.
An amazing exhibit where you can see (and sometimes interact with) full-grown gorillas up close.
My son loves coming here, especially when the Gorillas are in a playful (or interactive) mood.

We had such a successful, wonderful and educational field trip!! The students were able to learn so much about how their systems works and functions. The Museum is very clean and restrooms are close by. The Gift shop is great, full of fun things for parents to buy for kids and adults.
What a beautiful experience! There are many beautiful and exotic plants. The butterfly’s land on you. I went in 3 times before I left couldn’t get enough!
It was rainy out so we decided to give thus a try and we are so glad we did. This place was amazing and yes the drinks were too! They Aldo offer mocktails whichni thought was a bonus.
A cultural institution!
Love this place from i booorrrrnnnn ❤🥂
Seeing gorillas is amazing! They walked over and interacted with people through the glass. The older gorillas seemed relaxed while the young were all over the place, wrestling, jumping around and tusling with each other. I was not able to visit the whole zoo, but, I felt this is the best part of the park.
Great zoo facility. Was really impressed at this gorilla habitat, that looked exactly like a real forest. The gorillas look very healthy and well cared. The exhibit offers the opportunity to be at only meters away from the gorillas, separated just by glass. The experience of being so close to them really touched me, and greatly raised my awareness of the importance of the protection of these wonderful creatures.
The Butterfly Exhibit at the Pacific Science Center is Awesome I love this place . This place is easy to find there's plenty of parking spaces around the area . Bring you camera to get some cool pictures . This is a sweet place to visit with your family and friends . Getting a yearly membership might be the best way to go if you like it . It's very cool there . #love
A cute and warm place, the worker is very helpful. People should go there and know Coney Island more! (Visit their website as well.)
Highly highly recommended for all ages. Its funt o walk through the habitats and watch amazing gorillas up close. Try to make it for gorilla feedings, all the kids seem to have enjoying a lot and cheering for gorillas to catch the fruit.
Truly amazing. Gorillas looked at home and not stressed in their 6 acres. The staff were passionate about their conservation work. Really interesting and fantastic opportunities to view gorilla being gorillas!
Went on my daughter's field trip and loved this part of the zoo. It was amazing to see the gorillas and very clear they are well taken care of. If visiting the Bronx zoo, I definitely recommend!
Fun
Simple and easy tour of the beautiful butterfly house. Gorgeous Flowers all throughout, friendly and helpful staff as well. :-)
Always a worthwhile visit, with information on what Coney Island used to be and images to demonstrate. The odd, amusing factoids are fantastic.
No better place to learn about Coney Island. A great time.
