Loved it! Brought 4 kids, ages 16,14,12,10. They had a blast laughing at all the wild and strange things in this place, and noticing all the little things in the nooks and crannies... Think: : "Look and Find" or "I Spy" books, and you'll have a general idea of the way this mansion is decorated! Something to see in every spot. Took us about 2 hours to make our way through the rooms.. a few were off limits due to guests staying in them. As this place is also a hotel. *We were told at the beginning that some sections may not be available to see. We found several secret doors. Note: "doors" included actual passages into other rooms/sections of the house, as well as hidden cabinets, small hidden compartments, and the like. We had to het a couple of hints, but found most on our own... about 13.Note: If you are claustrophobic, this may not be your jam! Also, since you are constantly looking for hidden doors, or things that may be a hidden doors, you may get dizzy walking through this place!Also, staff does NOT know where all the doors are, only the ones they have found themselves, or were shown by other staff members. That's the only frustrating things... no way to tell how many you may have passed up in certain rooms, or parts of the house. We're told that the owners are the only ones who know the location of all the doors.

My Christmas Party was held last week at the Mansion at O Street. In thirty-five years in business I have only returned to a venue twice for our party--The O Street Mansion was such a hit with my staff in 2019 that we came back. This is a very, very special place! The mansion itself is filled with such things as a guitar signed by all the original Rolling Stones, a Miss America tiara, and innumerable works of art. There is so much to see here, it is hard to tell if you are in a museum or on a treasure hunt. And if this didn't intrigue our group there are 80 hidden doors to find. We had 45 minutes to explore the mansion before dinner and it was hard to regroup in the dining room because we were all having so much fun.Dinner was even better than our last one here. The caprese salad was amazing and our vegetarian and chicken entrees were as tasty as they were beautiful. We had all sorts of dietary needs in our group (no red meat, no fish, no mushrooms, vegan only, vegetarian, etc etc). Our meal was planned bearing all this in mind thanks to the patience and expertise of Madison and the chef.Madison coordinated everything and could not have possibly been more gracious. She stayed until the end of the evening- a very long day for her, I am sure. She was wonderful.The chef, and the servers Luigi and Forenzio, were absolutely excellent. We couldn't have asked for a more professional staff.The geniuses behind this magical mansion, H and her husband Ted, have created magic in downtown Washington DC. Magic, joy, and a place like no other.Just go.

Great fun. Unique experience

This was amazing! Granddaughter and I spent 3 hours there and still didn't find half the doors. It was like a giant treasure hunt. No hints so you have to find on your own but once you find the first one it gets a little easier. Highly recommend for kids maybe 11 and over.
