Two years when I came to the US I included a visit to Springfield Illinois to visit Lincolns presidential library and tomb. So when I knew I was coming to DC I got online and booked tickets to visit the Ford theatre - first thing I would advise anyone to do is get the tour. The visit was excellent and very interesting, you could really feel and see how it all happened on that fateful night as you get really good views of the theatre and Lincoln’s box. The visit is $3 which is super cheap especially as it includes not only the museum and theatre but the Peterson House across the road where he died. I also got the audio tour which was another $5 again cheap and the second thing I would advise people to do - get the audio tour. The museum under the theatre is great but I learned so much more with the audio in addition to reading the exhibits.
The ranger talk is good but it does repeat some of what you will hear on the audio.

Not much to see from the outside, but still nice to visit if you are walking to The National Mall and try see an iconic piece of history

For some reason, they (National Park Service?) have made the reservation process different and irritating relative to other spots in Washington that require timed tickets. They say that entry is "technically free," but you have to pay a reservation fee unless you're lucky enough to get one of the limited number of same-day tickets in-person at the site.
Aside from the annoyance of the ticketing, the theater is well worth a visit. History speaks from the walls and the hallways of this landmark structure. A ticket to the theater also gives access to the Peterson House, across the street, where Lincoln died. Sobering and sad to view and imagine what America might have been had Lincoln not been struck down early in his second term.

I ordered my ticket online ahead of time, and I arrived 1.5 hrs. early on a Sunday afternoon. I approached the friendly staff member behind the counter and asked if I could use my ticket early. On this specific occasion, I was allowed, but I guess sometimes it won’t be possible, so don’t count too much on running with the same luck I did.
I did the self-guided tour, and my favorite part was the hallway leading to the theater with a timeframe of events on that fateful day. A locked door leads to Lincoln’s balcony with a glass so you can take a close look at the historic site. There are friendly staff members all over the museum for assistance.
I do not know if I am the only one, but I felt history coming alive in this building and the trauma of a nation living within these walls.
In the lobby, you will find a nice little souvenir store.

Visited Ford's Theater last year in late September, and it did not disappoint. I'm already into learning about US Presidential history, but the whole Ford's Theater experience offered even more than I expected. Reserve your tickets online, and be sure to try to pick a date where the Park Ranger gives a presentation in the theater (sometimes the theater itself may not be open on certain days, so just check the calendar and make sure your tour includes the theater).
You first start off in the museum/exhibit section in the downstairs area. Depending on the scheduled time for the theater talk, you may only get 20-30 minutes down here before you head to the theater section, but don't worry! After the park ranger gives the talk in theater, you can go back to the exhibits and browse without the pressure of trying to hurry up. There's so much to see and read there about the events leading up to the assassination that it is totally worth going back to and taking your time.
The ranger talk is very informative, and of course, it includes seeing the President's box where Lincoln was sitting when he was shot. You can ask the ranger questions after the talk as well.
After the ranger talk, you go across the street to the Peterson House where Lincoln died after he was shot, and there are more exhibits about the hunt for John Wilkes Booth and Lincoln's legacy. Here's another pro tip; going back to the previous museum after the ranger talk is good also because by the time you get to the Peterson House, it won't have the rush of crowds that go right after the ranger talk, so it will be easier to browse these exhibits.
Very informative, highly recommended to pay a visit to this historic site.

I wish I had the name of the ranger who delivered the talk in the theatre the morning I visited. His presentation included so much information and was presented in an engaging way, with dramatization included in his storytelling. What a pleasure it was to have been part of his audience to learn about this piece of American history.

A really cool place to visit! It is truly a moment that changed the direction of history, and they have a great set up for you to experience it.
The Good:
They are very informative people.
Good freedom to move around the museum
Great coverage of Lincoln's history
A great collection of items related to the assassination (they actually have John Wilkes Booth's pistol in the museum.)
A beautiful revamping of the theater.
Not So Good:
They really complicate the ticket process. You can buy tickets online in advance, but not the day of. It really led to some confusion.
There are a ton of tour options making it confusing as to what you are actually getting.

Thank you for your feedback! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your time at Ford's Theatre. To clarify our ticketing process, we do offer a select number of day-of tickets, but they are available first come, first served. We encourage people to purchase in advance to guarantee their preferred time-slot, but are more than happy to provide day-of tickets as available.

After learning about the Lincoln Assassination many years ago I finally got to see the inside of Ford's Theatre. Advance reservations are recommended but we were lucky that we could just line up and get a ticket to enter. After an interesting historical exhibit you are brought into the theater by a park ranger and given a tour of it. Definitely worth a visit.

The online bookings were full, so I turned up early in the morning and joined the queue for same day tickets. I was fortunate to obtain a theatre tour for later the same afternoon.
Queues for the tour started early, but once the queue was moving we moved swiftly down to the museum where we were left to view the items on display. At this point it got very warm in the unventilated area with scores of visitors waiting to proceed. Eventually the door was opened and we were able to go up to the theatre.
It is well maintained - a typically laid out theatre - and of course the highlight for all was to see the box where Lincoln was assassinated.

WOW - never, ever thought I'd be at this place. Fascinating place in history. Worth the cost and the gift shop had some great gift ideas for relatively decent prices. This is what I'd consider a DO NOT MISS visit but then again, I'm a history buff.

Online checkout for tickets says by clicking I agree to abide by covid protocol, including a negative test or proof of vaccination. Anyone been there recently to know whether they're requiring a negative test or proof of vaccination??

We were there mid-April. No Covid requirements of any kind, masks optional.
How much time should we budget for our visit (September 2021)? We have a historic site ticket for both the museum and the theater walk through.

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.

For the show performances that start at 7:30pm (we're going to see guys and dolls), how long do they last? About 2 hours? Trying to figure out dinner plans...don't mind eating late, but will also consider earlier depending on our other activities schedule. Thanks.

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.

If we have timed tickets to Ford's Theater for 3:30pm, would we have enough time to see the theater and Peterson house and make a dinner reservation at Carmine's for 5:30?

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.

I have tickets for the Ford's Theatre museum entrance and tour at 10:00am. May I visit the Peterson house first, say at 9:30am? I have tickets to enter the National Archives at 11:30am and want to make sure I have enough time at the Ford's Theatre.

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.

Hello! I will be visiting Ford's Theatre in the end of July. I plan on doing the museum, the ranger talk and Petersen House.
But I wonder if the aftermath exhibits are also worth visiting?
Thank you so much!

Is there an entrance on 10th St NW? We’re planning to walk from the Mall, but my GPS says we should go down 9th, past it, around the block, and then down what might be an alley(?).

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.
