Combo Smithsonian Air, Space Museum and American History Museum Tour Private

5 hours

Take a combo tour of the Smithsonian's most iconic museums on this convenient and engaging experience. This 5 hour private tour will lead you to the National Museum of American History before moving to the National Air and Space Museum. Explore how the United States is looking forward to the future by discovering everything from the early history of flight to the Space Race and moon landings. Then hear the tale of a ragtag group of colonists who built one of the world's most powerful countries.

Start at the National Air and Space Museum to learn all about the country’s more futuristic side. From the Apollo 11 Command Module to real moon rocks, this museum features some of the most out-of-this-world artefacts. Talk about Buzz Aldrin when you examine his space suit as well as moon boots and models of the International Space Station. You’ll see earlier examples of planes like the Wright Brother’s aircraft and the Spirit of St Louis. Discover the history of the world’s leading air and space program including the innovation and technology that made it possible to land a man on the moon. There’s even freeze-dried ice cream in the gift shop to complete the experience.

Then after a break for lunch, move to the National Museum of American History, which traces this ascent through a one-of-a-kind collection of items including the actual banner that inspired the country’s national anthem. Learn about the first president, George Washington, while viewing his sword and discover how Hollywood has helped shape this country when you check out Dorothy’s ruby red slippers. Discuss segregation through the Greensboro lunch counter and the role of women through the first ladies’ gowns. This tour will help you to understand the turbulent history that has marked the United States of America.
