National Museum of Crime and Punishment Admission Ticket

Washington D.C., United States of America

From medieval knights and greed-driven pirates to today's white collar criminals, the National Museum of Crime and Punishment in Washington DC allows you to discover the cast of characters in America's history of crime. With interactive exhibits along the way, test your Wild West shooting skills, crack a safe and try to hack into a computer!

Built on 25,000 sq. feet, on 3 floors and with over 100 interactive exhibits, the National Museum of Crime and Punishment offers an in-depth study of America's most notorious criminals. From Bonnie and Clyde and old Wild West bank robbers to Al Capone and the Italian mob bosses, this museum has something everyone will enjoy!

Visit prison cells, learn about the instruments of capital punishment and discover the everyday heroes of law enforcement. Experience the exhilaration of high-speed police chase simulators and an FBI shooting range.

Find yourself in the middle of a fully intact crime scene with fresh evidence.  Begin your investigation, using such forensic science techniques as fingerprinting, ballistics, and DNA testing to solve the crime.  Learn about famous cold cases and crime in the media.

Walk onto the actual television set of America's Most Wanted with host John Walsh and see how community involvement in fighting crime has led to dramatic results, with more than 1,000 fugitives captured.  Free child safety initiatives for patrons include a fingerprint station.

Information following our booking stated we could visit up until 9pm. We arrived at 6.30pm to find the museum closing. We had travelled to the venue especially and had to take the metro to get there. We were able to use our tickets the following day but it meant a return visit.

This museum was incredible! I learned about the fascinating history of crime in the United States and discovered so much I never knew before. The whole place is full of exhibits and fun facts, not your average museum! I would recommend it to people of all ages.

Not really impressed with the museum as a whole, really expected more from it.

Something for everyone. Can spend hours in the museum or rush through and not get as much out of it. Generally the adults will get more out of it, but the kids have plenty of hands on stuff to do while the adults read and reminisce. Very close to the Ford Theater where Lincoln was assassinated and a must see so you could combine them. Also close to a metro stop so no need for a cab. Enjoy!
