Not ENOUGH TIME. I didn’t think this was going to happen and it did not. There is no way with a group of people that you can get these 3 museums in and see even a few things and discuss them. There’s walking, bathroom breaks kids and quick gift shop visits to consider. You need an hour in each museum to see the highlights, and add on another 1 1/2 hours for the walking and other things necessary. Paid for 3, Got a really thorough Air and Space and rushed through a few things at Natural History. Did not see American museum or the castle to get a pic. The best part was our guide Dash. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. Answered questions and was keeping a decent pace. He tried to get to everything but knew it wasn’t going to happen. It was a shame. We will just have to come back again ;)
Amazing tour guide very...

My 14yo daughter and I went together. Rett was a great guide; so knowledgeable. He took us to the most interesting exhibits and we saw a lot in 3 hours. He had great stories and info on each artifact. Highly recommend.
