I took my two grandsons to both the Espionage Hunt and Magic show. Five stars for both. The grandsons are 8 and 11 and along with my wif, they and my daughter and her husband happily explored a magical world. Never knowing quite where you were or how to get back from whence you came! And..an amazing visual treat greeted you around each new corner and through each of the many hidden doors. It is an amazingly eclectic melange of art work, kitsch, and some really beautiful one of a kind items - and - they are all for sale...and reasonably priced. It has the largest selection of one of a kind guitars signed by some of the greatest artists of our times. But, as amazing as the tour was, the Magic Show with Rich Bloch totally made the day for all of us. We were even included in his act and had a fantastic time. His magic and slight of hand will amaze you, but his act left me in tears of laughter. Rich is a Master Showman and we look forward to seeing his act again. I hope they can schedule in some more showtimes!

My husband and I spent several hours walking around The O Mansion. This hidden gem/museum is now on our all-time favorite places to visit list.Each room inspired awe, wonder,and curiosity.Evertime we revisited a room, we found another unique piece of art, or facet,that we missed before.The multitude of creative works and themes, transported us into the past. It also reminding us of the iconic activists and artists, who shaped our culture of today. We thoroughly enjoyed learning factual history of the many people who stayed at the mansion. Most of the rooms offer a comfy chair to sit and rest, while gazing at the many items within it. But better yet, you could touch the items, too. Almost everything displayed could be purchased, and the proceeds go towards the museum. With the many secret rooms or doors to be found,your sleuthing skills will be tested. Although you may not find them all, being surrounded by so much creativity, makes a person feel like there is still magic in the world.

So much fun. We were celebrating our friend's birthday and did the Hidden Gems Tour. We were just amazed at all the beautiful and quirky things to see. Finding the hidden doors was a challenge and so much fun! We will definitely be back because I know there were rooms and hidden doors we missed!

This was a fabulous family adventure! Something you would not normally do on a vacation to DC. We can’t wait to return and find more secret doors!
