The views were breath taking, it was that week that the flowers were blooming, and the young leaves beginning to wake up following the end of winter. Full review by Omeja P

The King Tut Experience was great. I learned a lot both from the exhibit and from the film. The other exhibits near the theater were also interesting. Full review by JeromeB101

We enjoyed the King Tut exhibit. We learned a lot, and the immersive experience was unique. Great use of technology to bring the history and ancient religious beliefs to life. Full review by Emily4023

Hi. there is a plethora of places to eat. Walk west on M St NW from NatGeo along Connecticut Ave NW Shake Shack, Daily Grill, Lucky Bar, Cava,,a billion Starbucks, Potbelly, lots of cafes. Its a high density major shopping area so you have tons of choices. If you can, stop by Chocolate Chocolate, a sweets chocolataire run by 2 daughters in honor of their mother who escaped North Korea. Their story is amazing. Googlemap NatGeo in google maps and follow M St NW west To Connecticut Ave NW (Tripadvisor wont allow map attachments..)
