Totally worth it! 9/8/2009

Last time we were in DC we never made it to Newseum, so it was one of the must-do's on our list this time around. And although admission is around $20 per person (not counting military and student discounts) it was totally worth it! The Newseum talks about how news and media has chronicled our history, in America and around the world. The exhibits change pretty frequently i'm told (as media and news also change pretty rapidly) but some examples were a photo exibit of the presidential election, an exhibit on the falling of the berlin wall, of course a really emotional one on 911, but also fun ones on woodstock, presidential dogs, SNL news spiffs, and a workshop on how to become a tv newsanchor! We spent 3 1/2 hours there, and didn't see everything we wanted to. Not a great place for really small kids--i'd say 10 and older min. Maybe 15 and older would enjoy. located on Pennsylvania ave, close to the chinatown metro stop, we loved it!!! Pros: Exhibits are moving and interesting Cons: not free--but still worth it. more
