What travellers are saying
- Moira W8 contributionsA must see! Would recommend this for anyone, especially with children. Too many interesting things to see. Dinasaurs!Written 15 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ambiente UrbanoBogota, Colombia3 contributionsGreat museum. Even from the outside!
Explains much of the history of African and African American people since slavery began up to current influence in American culture.
Very interesting and good for everyone to better understand the US culture and history.
And to help reduce discrimination and try to avoid these atrocities.Written 10 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A visit to Capitolium must be planned well in advanced since you must book a slot several weeks ahead to be sure. The guided tour includes the crypta, that is the basement level just under the rotunda, the rotunda under the dome, the old session room for the Supreme Court and the statue room. And if you are lucky another one or two rooms. Before the tour an information film is shown. There are many different groups at the same time, and even if you hear your own guide well it is very high noise level from all the other groups in the background. The fact that almost all the rooms are just made of stone make them very beautiful but also very noisy. The rotunda was of course the highlight of the tour with all the very nice paintings of historic events. We liked the tour a lot. Be certain not to miss the cafeteria, the sweets are delicious especially the dome shaped white chocolate pastry.Written 10 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Terry TSan Diego, CA53 contributionsThe feeling of pride when you visit the Lincoln memorial is amazing. The different kinds of marble, limestone and why there was so many different type speaks to the inclusion of many states during it building process.

- Genesis4everBuenos Aires, Argentina162 contributionsVery nice place and Library to walk around, look and see. Impresive hall, stairs and place for 'readers'.

- Terry TSan Diego, CA53 contributionsIt was very emotional seeing the names of so many brave men and women who sacrificed their life for freedom.
Having a brother who served in Vietnam and know how many “close” calls he had really hit me hard!

Our family spent a few hours walking through this park and visited areas including the Korean and Vietnam War Memorial. It was a surreal experience.Written 7 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- ATLpchAtlanta, GA904 contributionsThe Korean War Memorial is impressive at night. It is located a very short walk from the Lincoln Memorial and is also much less crowded. The memorial grounds are almost silent as you walk by the realistic statues of soldiers and the memorial wall.Written 5 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

To go through all of you need an entire day. There is just a lot. Probably need more than one visit. Depends how much you read about each exhibit or artifact .
Learn and see it all from the beginning until present day . Top floor has moving/rotating special exhibits.Written 28 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The most annoying part of the entire experience is actually getting the times tickets 30 days in advance. But totally worth the trouble for the view.Written 5 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Viking18Torremolinos, Spain419 contributionsNice town with a lot of boutiques. A great whisky/bourbon/rye store.
We walked all the way up and down and to the river to have a glas of wine
A really nice place to go when you are in DCWritten 4 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
