Newseum
 The Newseum is considered the country’s “most interactive museum”, making it perfect for student travel. The Newseum fascinates its visitors with modern technology and presents classic American history as well. It tells stories of American journalists, from their amazing experiences to the problems and dilemmas that come with the job.
You can experience the Newseum through guided tours or on your own. The trained tour guides provide historically accurate commentary to help you experience the Newseum in all its glory. We would definitely recommend the guided tour for Washington D.C. student tours. There are special discounts available for groups over ten when you order tickets online. But you don’t need a group to enjoy the Newseum; guided tours are available for individuals as well.
The Interactive newsroom is perhaps the most interesting exhibit in the Newseum. You’ll be fascinated by the interactive technology, and the advanced exhibits are sure to interest every visitor. A high school journalism or film class will never forget the experience of being able to walk in the shoes of a genuine American journalist. They’ll see what it’s like to receive flashing newsbreaks after which they’ll be presented a deadline to capture the story for the world. Touch screens and access to various tools walk guests through the process of learning the facts and then reporting them. After this experience, the NewsMania challenge tests whether or not you’ve got what it takes for this profession.
After your tour and the Newsroom, you need not go far to find exquisite Washington D.C. cuisine! The Newseum contains two great dining experiences. One is a self-service food court called the Food Section, where you can choose from hot entrees, cool salads, and delicious desserts. It’s great for someone on the go! The Source offers a more serene atmosphere. Its bar and grill style offers several gourmet choices and the best Washington D.C. has to offer.
