Coolest Place in DC -Booking.com Top 5 historic venues to explore - in the world! -Smithsonian.com Available for Girl Scouts ONLY: Join fellow Girl Scout associations, service units, troops, families, and alumni for a Hidden Gems & Secret Door Hunt for Girl Scout Day! Find your way through secret doors and covert passages to a world never imagined. You'll be walking in the footsteps of presidents and freedom fighters, historians and fiction writers. Our docents will give you a hidden gems clue card of special items to find and treat you to an in-depth video of our history, philosophy, museum, secret doors and what to look for as you head out on your super sleuth adventure. We have over 100 rooms and 80 secret doors (yes 80!). We guarantee you can see at least 60 of our legendary rooms - but be warned secret doors are tricky to find - if you find 2 or 3 you are an above average sleuth. We will never ruin the surprise of finding a secret door by giving you a map - or showing you where they are. So be sure to keep your eyes open. With the purchase of this special ticket, Girl Scouts will receive a Hidden Gems Hunt & Secret Door Tour for half off the regular price. Scouts are encouraged to wear their sash or vest when they visit. Proceeds from the sale of “Mrs. Rosa Parks Beyond The Bus Life, Lessons and Leadership” go to support Girl Scouts Diversity Programs ——————————————— Children under 17 must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Advanced online reservations required.
