This was a great experience for me. I saw so many amazing things on my journey. I would recommend this to anyone who likes art and history. Most importantly, wear comfortable shoes it can be a long walk... |
A truly wonderful place! Awesome landscapes amazing architecture. In the heart of D.C.! Nice and clean. And all the most amazing museums surrounding the area. Definitely a great place for the whole family. So much knowledge and and history in a single place, very rare indeed. I highly recommend checking it out! |
A beautiful representation of our veterans in action. Memorials really humble you- just reading the quotations on some if the plaques and names on the wall. Like walking through a moment of time, so surreal you can almost hear a pin drop... |
Wonderful opportunity to learn about our history. My recommendation is to park and ride the Metro (commuter train) in to the city, pick 3 places to see and stick to your itinerary. Eat from the food trucks. Take a water bottle. Nothing else is allowed in the museums. There are bag checks for contraband such as food or beverages. Don't touch anything- you will be reprimanded. Small children will have a hard time if they have to walk the entire time. There are bathrooms, but the lines are not kind to a full bladder. Don't bother bringing snacks- they are not allowed in many of the locations. Walk to one side of all walk ways- people fly by on scooters and bicycles. Bring sunscreen and a hat. Make a plan for where you will visit, when you will eat - everything. It's chaos with out a plan! |
A well-kept expanse of nearly 2 miles of greenery at the center of sidewalks and pathways to make the area very walkable. Surrounded by all sorts of free Smithsonian Museum with a metro stop in the center, this is a great spot to knock out many of them at once before heading to either the library of congress, at one end, or the Washington Monument at the other.
