We were there mid-April. No Covid requirements of any kind, masks optional.

It's a great place to visit, but I can't see spending 2 hours here. We saw about half of the museum, climbed to the theatre box, went to the gift shop and were out in under an hour.

I would have thought guys & dolls would play around 2.5hrs, there may be an intermission also, so possibly add another 15mins. For dining before or afterwards I can recommend “Old Ebbitt Grill” simply superb, one of there specials are the Crab Cakes. Enjoy & have a great time.

hi! As far as I know, you need to book your visit in advance, or take your chance at the box office. There is no tour guide, but you can rent the audio guide. You can't go in any time you want because the place is not big, and they have a max number of people every 30 minutes. So, you when you book, you choose the admission time and everyone who booked the same time will be admitted together.

I had a similar thing had reservations 2 hours after our start time. I got so caught up in everything to see we did not come close to making it. It all depends how much you are into history and how "awed" you are by being in such a historical place.

It depends on how many people are there and if you have to wait, I agree with the previous comments about needing at least 45 - 60 minutes to really see the Peterson house, but you can walk through faster if you like.

Yes, the exhibits at Petersen House are very informative & interesting. WE learned a lot about Lincoln's killing& its aftermath. Definitely worth a visit.

Yes, our main entrance is on 10th Street. We are located on 10th between E and F Street NW. We are easy to find - no need to go down an alley!

For visitors driving, an independent parking garage is located directly next to the theatre and has an elevator that will take you to our lobby. Parking fees are not validated. Ford's Theatre is conveniently located near the Metro Center and Gallery Place/Chinatown metro stations.
