Old Post Office Museum

Fun experience. Very short visit, you don't need much time. It was hard to find so go to the Waldorf Astoria and then the entrance is behind the hotel and IN the hotel. The views from the top are fantastic and the history is really extraordinary. It was a fun little trip.

Nice views from the tower. it is free and very quick to see. it opens at 9 AM which is great bc all museums open at 10

The Clock Tower is awesome. If you come to DC for a visit, you should definitely visit here. You can take the elevator to the top of the tower, where you can see the main buildings of DC. The whole visit was great, almost all the staff we met were enthusiastic. Except for a security guard who checked the bag at the door. He looked a bit older. His attitude was rude and blunt, and checking process was extremely strict and inconvenient. During the previous Open-Day event, when I visited the British Embassy, ​​I wasn’t asked to take out all the things in each layer of my backpack for inspection. But here the security guard did so. It felt like an officer checking on a suspect! He should be working at the White House entrance checkpoint, not the clock tower tour. The other lady was very nice and respectful when checking on others.

Good view, had to wait a while. Have to go up two different elevators. They said there was a maximum capacity of 25 people at the top, which was why the queue was so long. There is space for a lot more than 25. It is free and don’t have to book a time slot so worth the visit.

The wires aren’t a problem when you zoom 4.4x “DONT TOUCH THE WIRES” is written everywhere, yet people are still taking their chances. Great space, good view, and windy because it is outdoor. Ask the rangers anything you want to know, keep them busy. Better view than Washington Monument. It’s 0.8 mi away from the monument. It’s FREE to get in and you don’t need advance tickets or reservation, just walk in. Paid street parking and there is a restroom inside. Recommend to go on weekdays. On weekends, You can wait more than an hour. 9:00am - 4:30 for entry.

There are numerous reviews that claim the view from the old post office pavilion is the best in DC. They are correct. This is definitely a stop for anyone on a visit to DC. It is conveniently located across the street from the federal triangle metro stop. The entrance is at the rear of the hotel. When you get to the top of the tower there is a great cross breeze and sense of openness. It is free to go up but they limit for occupancy so there is a steady shuttle up and down of groups. It is free to visit.

Iconic building with an amazing view on DC. Really worth it just for that. It is also really nice to have a peak in the hotel. We enjoyed coming here and visiting, very well maintained and managed like most parks & museums by NPS, so another opportunity to get some cancellation stamps.

Definitely amazing views a must do ,it is the third highest spot in DC the view from without having to have reservations for. They are on lunch from 12:30 to 1:30 each day .Everybody was super nice clean bathrooms definitely must visit I will be going back.
