We had such a wonderful time at Medieval Times! The whole experience was full of excitement, energy, and great entertainment. The knights put on an incredible show, it really felt like stepping back into history. The food was delicious, and the staff were friendly, cheerful, and made the evening extra special. However, our knight, the Blue Knight lost all his battles (just kidding 😄), but we still cheered for him till the end and enjoyed every moment of the show. It was an unforgettable experience for the whole family, and we can’t wait to go back again!

I've been to a few different Medieval Times. This was just like the rest of them, except for one thing. It's located in a mall. Took some time to figure out where the GPS was sending us! The show was fun..and our knight won! Food was decent. Service was good. Everything is SUPER expensive, but was expected. If you're in the area, it's worth a visit.

We went to Medieval Times on a whim and were completely blown away! From the moment we stepped into the castle, it felt like we’d entered another world. We were crowned as soon as we arrived and strolled through the grand hall, sipping on a colorful slushee served in a souvenir cup — the perfect start to the evening. The entire production was far more elaborate than we expected — a full-scale performance filled with medieval drama, gallant knights, and incredible horses that truly stole the show. You can tell the cast and crew put their hearts into every moment. The service was just as impressive. Our wench, Heather, was absolutely wonderful — energetic, funny, and on top of everything. The food was a huge (and delicious) surprise. The portions were generous, perfectly seasoned, and served piping hot. The “baby dragon” (aka roast chicken) was juicy, tender, and fell right off the bone. Between the food, the service, and the live entertainment, this was an amazing value for a full dinner and show. Whether you go for the knights, the horses, or just a fun night out, you’re guaranteed to leave cheering and smiling.

It is pricey. I spent around $300 for 2 adult tickets with upgraded seating and some other package they had. At the event I easily spent another $200 at the souvenir shop. The food wasn't bad at all, but I won't lie. For the price I spent, I was expecting more than half a baked chicken, tomato soup, slice of bread and half a piece of corn. The dessert was some store bought piece of vanilla cake and eclair. The show really wasn't too bad. The lances they just with are designed to shatter and give a better show and the seating is really close. The horses they were showing off were very interesting along with the falcon. Over all it wasn't bad and I feel it was worth the 2.5 hour drive.

I took my son to Medieval Times last night, and we had an incredible experience! The food was decent classic hearty fare that fit the medieval theme but what really stood out was the service and atmosphere. As a disabled veteran, I truly appreciated how kind and accommodating the staff were. They made sure I was seated a little early and comfortable the whole evening, which meant a lot. The show itself was fantastic! The actors put on an amazing performance, full of energy, skill, and enthusiasm. My son was absolutely captivated from start to finish. The entire atmosphere from the lights to the cheers of the crowd made it feel like we stepped back in time. Overall, it was a memorable night, and I’d highly recommend Medieval Times for families or anyone looking for a fun, unique experience. We’ll definitely be going back!

Took my son for a special boys night out. First time either of us have been to something like this and we were surely entertained. The staff made the atmosphere feel like you had stepped back in time. I definitely plan to go back again and bring my entire family.

I took my husband here for his birthday and we had a fantastic time! I can't put all my thoughts on here, because it would literally be a book, so best positives - food was delicious - the show is so fun - the employees were super nice Some things I personally think need to be better or upgraded - give the employees mics when they are trying to explain things before the show - merchandise is pretty pricey All in all, I recommend coming here if you are looking for a good time and it won't break the bank! I'll attach pics and vids, so you can see what it's all about!

The shopping malls around my place in Illinois seem to be dying. My son took me to the Arundel Mills mall, and I was surprised at how busy and vibrant and alive this mall is. I don't think there was one empty storefront , and the parking lots were filled with cars. We were there on a Sunday, but my son told me it was also busy on the weekdays! Plenty of variety of shops, eateries, a huge Movie theatre, and a Medieval Times attached to each end of the mall.

This was a very big, very nice mall. They had plenty of restrooms and food stands as well as restaurants. They had ramps to accommodate strollers and wheel chairs and all the doors were very wide. They even had electric scooters for rent to drive along in the mall.

Arundel Mills is a fantastic destination for shopping and entertainment! With over 200 stores, including popular outlet stores and specialty retailers, you'll find something for everyone. The dining options are also impressive, from casual eats to sit-down restaurants. Plus, the entertainment options like Cinemark Egyptian 24 Theatres and Dave & Buster's make it a great spot to spend the day. While some visitors have noted areas for improvement, such as cleanliness and coffee options, I think the mall's convenient location and variety of stores make it a great choice. Just be sure to check the hours and plan your visit accordingly. Overall, I'd definitely recommend Arundel Mills to anyone looking for a fun day of shopping and entertainment. Just a few minor tweaks and it'll be a 5-star experience!

If you’re older and a bit out of shape like me, go on a good walking day. Also good back day, good feet day, good legs day, and good hips day. If you can’t do a lot of walking, get a scooter. Great places to shop. Limited options for great food on the mall. The atmosphere is clean.

I happen to like going to Arundel Mills mall. It basically has everything that I personally am looking for. It's got shopping, a lot of decent stores that I like, multiple ways to eat with different restaurants, a good food court and the movie theater is there. Not to mention Live Casino is right across the street, as well as other restaurants. It's a prime location. It's family friendly, and it's also a place where adults can go. There's a Dave & Busters inside the mall, as well as a Medieval Times arena. Let me not forget to mention that there are multiple hotels that you can stay at and they are literally across the street from the mall. Not to mention, there's also a hotel inside of Live Casino.

This is a large and beautifully designed mall with plenty of restrooms, food stands, and restaurants. It’s also very accessible, featuring wide doorways, ramps for strollers and wheelchairs, and even electric scooters available for rent to help you navigate the mall easily.

Went to Cinemark Theater to watch Mary J Blige💖💖 I had a BALL!!! I enjoyed the theater, the seats & the star of the show Mary!! I sang to my favorite songs thru my hands in the air & clapped. Thanks for bringing her Madison Square Gardens performance on the BIG Screen. Felt like I was there

Long review So the lobby, restaurant, store all so gorgeous and clean. The art work and design gorgeous. The Casino so clean. The staff nice and hospitable. The food at Dave’s great, but service mediocre. Luckies staff very kind and friendly. (Female staff need to pull back their hair). Valet staff very kind and prompt and professional. The room was the worse part. The furniture is old and beat up, along with the room it self. Lots of chipped furniture or faded paint. Burn hole in sheet, broken hairdryer, broken shower head and there was mold in the shower. Definitely NOT a 4 star room. The 3 rd day of our visit housekeeping came at 5 pm and acted very put out that we expected the room to be cleaned. The location is convenient to shopping and airport but not to Baltimore sites. Security is a lot better then down near the Horseshoe casino. There was a small but very memorable interaction between a hotel customer and what looked like Live! Cooperate staff (no uniform, wearing business casual) that I witnessed and those individuals should be very ashamed of their behavior and the representation of the brand they are hired portrayed. Overall not a “bad” trip but for the cost and level of expectations Live! Hotel FAILED Definitely not the luxury experience I expected Valet were amazing The bell man Bryan was absolutely the best interaction of the hotel staff. The gentleman at the Live! Shop was so knowledgeable and helpful. His approach made me want to buy everything. I had a great customer service experience with him. The guy at Luckies named Rodrigo was so polite and courteous and patient. One person that was a negative experience was a staff from the casino, older women with short grey hair in a red jacket was VERY rude Definitely did not represent Charm city or had a customer service approach when speaking to casino customers

I love going out to Live! to hang out for a couple of days when I want to get away from home to recharge, but not go too far. It's only a 3 hour drive or 5 hour train ride, and I switch it up. I get great comps!!! The players there are super nice and make me feel like I go there all of the time. The dealers and pit bosses are pretty cool as well. Any restaurant you eat at on site is delicious and the good part is, I never pay for them. I use comps. They really know how to take care of their players.

Only a very short visit but was impressed with the size and number of slots. I saw attendants cleaning machines between players. Restroom also clean. We felt safe parking in the garage. I got a first time reward card bonus of $30 and my son got $100! That made the visit extra fun! I will return when I'm the area.

I want to begin by stating that I qualified to a tournament to the main event for the live PokerStars series. I drove 9 hours from Canada to be able to attend this event. Shortly apon my arrival to the area, another car ran a red light and hit my car as I was advancing to make a left during the advance signal, the police got involved and my car was towed away. The police drove me to the Live! Maryland casino so that I can gather my thoughts and make a decision as to what I should do. Right as I arrived, a security guard named Malcom informed me that I had to leave and that they had no rooms available. I totally understand not having availability. But what was the reason for being forced to leave after having to go through such unfortunate situations? This was the least hospitable I have ever felt staying at any casino resort. On top of that, Malcom said I could come back the next day. That would if this happened on the 21st, that 22nd would conform to being the next day. Not to Malcom, he said I could return to play in the tournament in the morning, then he changed his mind and decided I couldn't return for 24 hours, after the starting time. Edit: I got a response from the owner regarding this review. Stated that they were just trying to look out for my well-being. That really seems to be in line being forced to sit outside between and 11pm and 4 am in the morning outside in the cold after suffering a concussion. Classic way to look out for someone. Beware of staying at this resort. You might be thrown out for your own well-being.

Live Casino is fine. Plenty of parking, easy enough to get in and out of. I go there because sometimes my job holds meetings/trainings there; however, I walk through the casino to get to the place. It always looks well kept, the service is nice, the slot machines look brand new, and there's also a smoking section in there somewhere so you don't have to go outside (if that's your thing). Enjoy and remember to gamble responsibly. The house always wins eventually.

For a property of this caliber, I expected a more spectacular hotel room. Like many casino hotels, the room was fairly basic and lacked any real “wow” factor. The casino itself was a pleasant surprise—spacious with a good variety of machines and tables. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my visit. One thing that felt a bit off: when someone wins, there’s a light flash or a pop-up on the player’s screen. While no names are disclosed, it seems like a tactic to keep others playing. Personally, I found it a little cringe-worthy. On the plus side, there was ample parking, a good selection of food options, and the mall being just steps away was a definite bonus for convenience and variety. Overall, it was a decent experience, but the hotel stay didn’t quite meet the expectations set by the rest of the property.

"Excellent" hotel with above average cleanliness and service. Pedestrian friendly to several restaurants and shopping. Location is convenient to BWI and surrounding Laurel/Silverspring aareas. My go to for future trips to this area.

Wow! What an amazing museum!!! We’ve visited it a few times over the years. Our whole family has always enjoyed it at all ages, little kids, teenagers, and adults alike. There’s hands-on activities for younger kids, and informative displays for adults. We watched a film display and the toddlers next to us found it just as engaging as we did. This museum really is truly great for all ages, and we have found it fascinating after each new visit. We spent 3 hours here, and didn’t even see every display. There’s so much to do and to look at. The staff were so friendly and well-informed. We really enjoyed chatting with them. I’m so happy that we were able to visit. My one piece of advice is to book the free timed-entry tickets as far in advance as possible so that you get the chance to enjoy this amazing experience!

The National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC is one of the most inspiring and fascinating places I have ever visited. From the moment you step inside you can feel the excitement of human achievement and discovery. The museum captures the full story of flight and space exploration in a way that is both educational and deeply moving. Every exhibit is designed with care and attention to detail making it easy to understand how far we have come in just a little over a century of aviation. One of the most impressive parts of the museum is the collection of historic aircraft and spacecraft. Seeing the Wright brothers’ first flyer up close is an unforgettable experience. The Apollo 11 command module is another highlight that truly makes you appreciate the courage and vision of the astronauts who first set foot on the Moon. The exhibits on modern space missions and the future of exploration are equally inspiring and show how innovation continues to push the boundaries of what is possible. The museum is beautifully organized and free to enter which makes it accessible to everyone. The staff are friendly and always ready to answer questions. Whether you are a space enthusiast or simply curious about science and technology this museum will leave you feeling amazed and inspired. It is a place that celebrates human imagination and determination and it is absolutely worth visiting.

Great museum! If you love aviation you will love this place! They have many airplanes from 747s to DC-3s to a wright flyer. They even have an x wing hanging from the roof! Tons of cool information, including about space flight and space craft. Only complaint is that part of the museum was closed for construction, but it's understandable because they have to renovate it at some point. Get tickets online in advance! Would highly recommend this place!

Great place for being solo, as a couple or family. You need to book your tickets online in advance as there are timed entries to enter. Amazing information, videos and models for explaining various aspects of space and flight travel. Will take about 1 to 2 hours to fully enjoy. Less crowded on weekdays versus weekends.

My visit to the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. was absolutely incredible! The exhibits are beautifully organized and full of fascinating details about the history of aviation and space exploration. Seeing the original spacecraft, jets, and satellites up close was truly awe-inspiring. The museum staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do, which made the experience even more engaging. It’s the perfect place for both adults and children to learn, dream, and be inspired by human ingenuity and discovery. I left feeling amazed and deeply grateful for the opportunity to explore such a world-class museum.

Great museum. I didn't know that I can get the timed pass online, so I had to wait there for 15 minutes but that was not a problem for us. Incredible to see the real engines and rockets used for space exploration. My kids were 3,5 and 1,5.. they enjoyed the kids zone, but in general it is a must-go for older kids for inspiration.. we will definitely go again in future..

I went in late June and quite enjoyed my experience. If you are in the area, definitely visit. Unfortunately part of the museum was closed off and the lines were very long (but go incredibly fast). Gift shop is incredible. Exhibits are great, I liked the Northwest 747 the best. Definitely recommend checking out the Apollo Exhibit. I quite enjoyed my experience.

My visit to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History was one of the highlights of my trip to Washington, D.C. The moment I entered, I was struck by the grand architecture and the impressive displays that immediately capture your attention especially the iconic African elephant in the main hall. The museum is spacious, well-organized, and offers an engaging atmosphere for visitors of all ages. Each exhibit is thoughtfully arranged, from the ancient fossils and dinosaur skeletons to the dazzling gems and minerals collection. I particularly enjoyed the ocean life section, which features lifelike models and informative presentations that make science both accessible and fascinating. The museum does an excellent job combining education with visual appeal, allowing visitors to truly appreciate the diversity and history of our planet. The staff were welcoming and helpful, and entry was free, which makes it even more remarkable considering the quality of the experience. Whether you have an hour or a full afternoon, this museum is a must see in D.C. a perfect mix of history, discovery, and inspiration under one roof

The National Museum of Natural History in Washington DC is one of the most fascinating and visually stunning museums in the world. From the moment you walk through the entrance and see the towering elephant in the Rotunda you know you are in for an unforgettable experience. The building itself is beautiful, with grand halls, elegant architecture, and impressive exhibits that make every step exciting. It perfectly combines science and art, creating a space where curiosity and wonder come together. The museum’s collections are extraordinary and cover the entire story of life on Earth. The dinosaur fossils are incredible and make you feel as if you are traveling back millions of years. The Hall of Mammals is equally captivating, showing animals from every corner of the planet in lifelike settings. The gem and mineral collection is one of the most dazzling sections, especially the famous Hope Diamond which sparkles brilliantly under the lights. Every gallery is thoughtfully designed to be both educational and visually engaging. What makes this museum truly special is how it inspires visitors of all ages. Whether you are fascinated by ancient fossils, marine life, or the origins of humanity, there is something here that will capture your imagination. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and admission is free, making it accessible to everyone. The National Museum of Natural History is not just a museum but a celebration of life in all its forms, presented in one of the most beautiful buildings in Washington DC.

We visited this museum as a family, and it was an amazing experience. My 7-year-old absolutely loved it! The exhibits are fascinating, interactive, and beautifully presented, which made the visit enjoyable for both children and adults. The staff was welcoming and the whole museum is very well organized. It’s a perfect place for families to learn, explore, and spend a memorable day together. I highly recommend it!

We love going to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History again and again. There is always so much to see, explore, and learn. One of the highlights for us was the African safari animals exhibit. The animals look so real that it feels like you're actually on a safari! It's exciting and fun for both kids and adults. My personal favorite part of the museum was the human evolution section. It was truly amazing to see how humans have changed and developed over thousands of years. The displays show how we’ve evolved from early humans to who we are today. It really makes you think about how far we’ve come as a species. The kids also had a great time exploring different sections of the museum. There are interactive exhibits and interesting facts everywhere you look, so it never feels boring. We spent hours walking around and still felt like there was more to discover. The Smithsonian Natural History Museum is a great place for families, students, and anyone curious about the world. It's educational, fun, and inspiring. We can't wait to go back again and see what new things we’ll learn next time!

This museum never disappoints! There’s something fascinating in every corner — from the massive dinosaur fossils to the sparkling gems and the incredible ocean exhibits. The Hope Diamond is a must-see, and the animal displays are so realistic and detailed. It’s perfect for both kids and adults, and you can easily spend a whole afternoon here. Best of all, admission is free! Truly one of the highlights of D.C.

Smithsonian Museum of Natural History — The Story Beneath Our Feet After honoring the fallen at Arlington and reaching for the stars at the Air and Space Museum, the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History brought me back to Earth — literally. It’s humbling to stand in a place that tells the story of everything that came before us. From the glint of ancient gems to the quiet stare of creatures long extinct, every exhibit whispers, You’re part of something much older, much greater, than yourself. As a Marine, I’ve spent years learning about survival, discipline, and adaptation — but this museum reminded me that nature wrote those lessons first. The fossils, the meteorites, the skeletal giants towering overhead… all proof that time itself is the ultimate drill instructor. It shapes, tests, and transforms everything it touches. Walking through the Hall of Human Origins, I found myself reflecting on how far we’ve come — and how fragile our place still is. There’s a deep respect in realizing that we’re not the masters of this planet; we’re its current students. For anyone visiting Washington, D.C., this museum isn’t just about science — it’s about perspective. It’s a sacred reminder that every breath we take is borrowed from something far older, and far wiser, than we are. But, never forget, Not all is as it seems 😉

The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History is an extraordinary museum that captivates you from the moment you walk in. Every exhibit is thoughtfully curated — from dinosaurs and ocean life to minerals and rare artifacts. It’s engaging for both adults and children, with modern, interactive displays and spacious galleries. Wonderfully organized and absolutely fascinating. A must-visit in Washington, D.C.

Beautiful experience. I added 4 ☆ because they allow too many people into the museum at once. If you want to read you'll have to plan at least 3 hours ans be extremely patient with the crowds. There were many group tours with young adults yelling and running but some of those things are hard to control. Thank you for a beautiful experience and museum.

United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Review The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. is one of the most powerful and emotionally moving institutions in the country. Visiting it is not a casual sightseeing experience—it’s an encounter with the depths of human history, morality, and conscience. From the moment you enter, the design of the museum draws you into the gravity of its subject: dim lighting, cold steel, and a quiet that commands respect. The architecture itself becomes part of the storytelling, guiding visitors through a journey that is both historical and deeply personal. The permanent exhibition presents the Holocaust with meticulous care and authenticity. Original artifacts—train cars, victims’ belongings, photographs, and Nazi propaganda—are displayed alongside survivor testimonies and documentary footage. Each floor unfolds chronologically, from the rise of the Nazi regime to the liberation of the camps, allowing visitors to grasp how ordinary prejudice evolved into genocide. What stands out most is the museum’s balance between education and reflection. It never sensationalizes tragedy; instead, it urges visitors to think critically about moral choices, human rights, and the consequences of indifference. The Hall of Remembrance at the end provides a quiet space to mourn and reflect. Overall, the Holocaust Museum is not just a museum—it’s a moral experience, a place that reminds every visitor of the responsibility to remember, and to never let such atrocities happen again.

It's a place you might want to visit to understand how still WAR is invading out kindness, being deserted from your own house and being separated from your own family. How much hardship those traumatized souls had to go through and how sad they are! those who survived but feeling so helpless that we're not being able to control our problems and still ended up getting into the same WAR.

An incredible experience, the exhibits were thoughtfully planned giving a face to all who was effected. There were several school groups there but you could hear a pin drop as everyone was respectfully going through.

OMG!! This museum blew me away. Whomever curated this beautiful museum deserves an 👏🏾! From the interactive exhibits to being told that there were some persons working at the museum that survived the holocaust. Blown away!! Such an emotional experience.

I fell on my knees before coming inside, thought there would be a place to rest, but only a few places. There were some places to watch video where there were seats and at the end. Good place for history lovers that can stand for an hour. I'm glad I came, but it isn't a place for people with mobility issues.

Visited the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. today, and wow what a powerful, emotional experience. 💔 You will be moved bring tissues. The exhibits are heartbreaking yet so important. 🕯️ They use timed-entry tickets, which made it easy to get in with no big crowds, and it’s very simple to get to. If you’re in D.C., this is a must. It’s not just a museum, it’s an experience that stays with you.

This memorial is absolutely beautiful and I would've spent hours there had I had the time. Each US state and territory is included and the fountains make the setting very serene. It's definitely worth walking through as you explore the National Mall. You can sit and put your feet in the water but running and playing is not allowed! Please respect national monuments!

Visiting the World War II Memorial was an emotional and inspiring experience. Standing by the fountains surrounded by the pillars and gold stars really makes you pause and think about the sacrifices made for freedom. I went around sunset, and the light made the whole place feel peaceful and powerful at the same time. It’s beautifully maintained and truly honors those who served. A must-see if you’re in D.C.

​The National World War II Memorial in Washington D.C. is an intensely moving and essential stop right on the National Mall. The most recent visit, on a gorgeous fall afternoon, cool, crisp, and filled with sun, made the entire experience feel particularly perfect. ​The memorial’s design, centered on the Rainbow Pool, is immediately striking. Fifty-six granite pillars representing the states and territories form a beautiful semi-circle, all connected by a bronze rope, powerfully symbolizing the nation's unified commitment. The grand Atlantic and Pacific Arches stand at the ends, featuring intricate bronze bas-reliefs that illustrate key moments from both the battlefield and the critical home front. ​The heart of the memorial is the Freedom Wall, a stunning expanse covered with 4,048 shimmering gold stars. Since each star signifies 100 Americans who gave their lives, standing here and looking out toward the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool offers an unforgettable and solemn perspective on the immense price of freedom. It is a truly beautiful and profoundly conceived tribute to "The Greatest Generation."

When your in Washington DC, It is a must not only to visit The White House and Washington Monument but also the World War 2 Memorial especially if you love History and World War. This place is spectacular when your actually there. It is perfect for family, clean, and a huge place to visit and roam around. I would love to visit again soon. ❤️🇺🇸🫶🏻🥰

The World War II Memorial is a well‑designed site on the National Mall that honors those who served. The central fountain, Freedom Wall with gold stars, and 56 pillars representing U.S. states and territories make the memorial both symbolic and visually impressive. It is located between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument, making it easy to connect with other major sights while walking the Mall. The memorial is open 24/7, free to visit, and especially beautiful at night when illuminated.

One of the most beautiful memorials down here in DC. I've been here many times & it never gets old. It's so pretty. If you haven't seen it, you must! Open 24/7, even during the shutdown.

The World War II Memorial is probably my favorite memorial in DC. The stonework is amazing and the water is beautiful. I enjoyed reading the quotes etched in stone all around the exhibit. This is a great place for reflection and to think about all those who made the ultimate sacrifice. I highly recommend visiting this memorial if you get a chance.

We walked to see if the family member of a friend was listed on the wall and it was. What a moving experience. The place is a solemn recognition that freedom is not free. The memorial has a wall with the names of those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. There is a water feature and statues of soldiers.

This is a somber memorial to walk around. Dedicated in 1995, it honors the sacrifices of American, Korean, and United Nations forces during the Korean War (1950-1953). A great reminder of the forgotten war. My boys and I enjoyed it.

The Korean War Veterans Memorial is a well‑designed site on the National Mall that honors those who served. The statues and wall of names create a reflective atmosphere, and its location makes it easy to visit alongside nearby landmarks such as the Lincoln Memorial and the Reflecting Pool.

Very beautiful, eye-opening memorial. The sculptures are so detailed and I enjoyed my visit. It’s really sad seeing all the names of the heroic soldiers that died in battle for our country, but it makes me proud to see how honored our veterans are!

The best way to visit this memorial is to go as part of a tour because you really need to understand the history behind it and how this is one of the forgotten wars that was really miscommunicated. When I went this memorial was still under construction and to help everyone understand. Whenever you build a memorial everyone who was involved can have a say in it.

Great memorial to those who fought and sacrificed in the Korean War. To me this is one of the better monuments with the feel of being in the moment with the soldiers walking through the field. Expansive monument with pond and listing of those who died in the war.

The Korean War Veterans Memorial is poignant and moving. The statues seem to come alive, telling a story of service and sacrifice. A fitting tribute to the brave men and women who served in the 'Forgotten War'.

It's interesting to read that this memorial was designed after a "healing wound." I think the architect did a good job at bringing that vision to reality. After taking in the Lincoln Memorial, we headed back east and came upon the site which is just off the north side of the Pool. The arrow-shaped memorial wall of smooth, dark, reflective gabbro rock starts at ground level then slopes ever so gently into the earth until its midpoint, where it then gradually rises back up to ground level, with a ton of names engraved along the way. A memorial directory is posted nearby to aide in finding names. Look for a small podium near the entrances/exits. Simple, striking, and beautiful.

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. is one of the most visited and moving monuments in the United States, honoring those who served in the Vietnam War. It is located at National Mall, near the Lincoln Memorial,dedicated in November 13, 1982. It was designed by Maya Lin, a 21-year-old architecture student at Yale, it was controversy at the beginning, but became iconic. It honors members of the U.S. armed forces who fought in the Vietnam War, those who died in service, and those missing in action (MIA). The two black granite walls, each 246 feet 9 inches long, set in a V-shape, engraved with the names of over 58,000 servicemen and women who died or went missing. The Three Servicemen Statue – A bronze statue by Frederick Hart depicting three soldiers, added in 1984 to complement the Wall. The Vietnam Women’s Memorial – Dedicated in 1993, honoring women (many nurses) who served. The Wall’s shape points toward the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument, linking it to the nation’s history. It's an open air Memorial, you can visit any time.

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial is a powerful and thoughtfully designed site in Washington, D.C. The black granite wall engraved with names creates a quiet, reflective atmosphere that encourages visitors to pause and remember. It is conveniently connected to other major sights on the National Mall and located very close to the Lincoln Memorial, making it easy to include in a day of exploring.

I found this memorial to be really cool on the evening that I went because they were doing an orange light awareness activity with lots of candles. I also really enjoy how you can see your image reflected in this memorial. If you are by the Lincoln memorial feel free to stop by this one as well!

There was a quiet reverence while walking through this area, it was deeply appreciated. I was there to find a name for my friend; her husband passed in Viet Nam. The volunteers were helpful and offered historical documentation about the Wall.

Very somber memorial to visit. It can get crowded but everyone is very respectful. Definitely visit if you're near the Lincoln Memorial.

Very nice memorial for all those we gave it all for the Vietnam war. A solemn place to honor and remember.

Obviously a must see if you're visiting DC! I went on a Sunday afternoon and it was pretty crowded but people were being very respectful and waiting for others to finish to take their pictures. When you get to the top you can see all the way down the National Mall which is great. Unfortunately the bookstore was closed due to the government shutdown, but still fun to check out!

A great place to honor our former president. You will never understand how big it is until to get to the bottom. The best time to visit is close to sunset when the sky is pretty and you can see the full reflection of the Washington monument with amazing colors in the sky. The addition of the ramp although blocks the view from the front, is a good addition for those with strollers.

The Lincoln Memorial is stunning especially at sunset. I didn’t realize how close all the monuments were to each other until I visited; everything is just a short, scenic walk away. As I made my way from the Thomas Jefferson or Washington Memorial to the Lincoln, I saw one of the most beautiful sunsets I’ve ever experienced. The way the light hit the reflecting pool and the memorial itself was just perfect peaceful, powerful, and unforgettable.

Lincoln Memorial The Lincoln Memorial is one of the most awe-inspiring landmarks in Washington, D.C., and a place that never fails to leave a deep impression no matter how many times you visit. Standing at the base of the monument and looking up at the towering statue of President Abraham Lincoln, you can truly feel the weight of history and the ideals he represented — unity, equality, and freedom. The craftsmanship is remarkable; the marble gleams beautifully in the sunlight during the day and takes on a serene glow under the lights at night. The entire site is impeccably maintained, and the setting along the Reflecting Pool makes it even more breathtaking. Watching the Washington Monument’s reflection shimmer in the water, especially at sunset, is a sight that captures the very spirit of America. The memorial’s inscriptions — the Gettysburg Address and Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address — are powerful reminders of the enduring importance of words in shaping a nation’s conscience. The atmosphere is peaceful yet profoundly moving. Tourists, students, and locals all stand together in quiet respect, taking in both the grandeur and the solemnity. Visiting the Lincoln Memorial is not just sightseeing — it’s an experience of reflection, gratitude, and inspiration that every visitor to D.C. should have at least once.

What a wonderful experience it was to have visited this truly historical place and to learn about one of the greatest presidents of our time. Reading and Gettysburg address was like stepping back in time and in my opinion is the best speech every written. Please note that there is a lot of walking if you visit Washington DC so really good walking shoes are a must.

The Lincoln Memorial is truly inspiring. The architecture, the historical significance, and the peaceful atmosphere make it a must-visit in Washington, D.C. The view of the Reflecting Pool and Washington Monument is breathtaking, especially around sunset. The site is kept very clean, and there is plenty of space to sit, walk, and reflect. A beautiful and powerful reminder of American history.

The Lincoln Memorial is one of Washington, D.C.’s most recognized landmarks, honoring Abraham Lincoln with an impressive structure at the end of the National Mall. It connects easily to nearby attractions such as the Reflecting Pool, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and Korean War Veterans Memorial, making it convenient to include in a day of sightseeing. The memorial is open 24/7 and especially striking when illuminated at night. It can be crowded during peak hours, but the space remains respectful and accessible, offering good opportunities to take in the views and history.

While visiting from out of town, we were looking for a mall that had all the stores we needed and this was the one. Clean and big with all the shops we were looking for like Coach, FYE and Showcase. The staff members were all helpful, the mall is easy to navigate and we found everything on our wishlist. The food court has plenty of seating and options and restrooms can be found everywhere. There are also a lot of places to eat and shop just outside the mall like the Cheesecake Factory so it is a one stop shop.

I recently visited Potomac Mills Mall, and it’s easily one of the largest and most impressive malls I’ve explored! During my summer trip, I was blown away by the number or stores in this one place. From general retailers to specialty shops like sports, jewelry, and tech stores. The discounts were unbeatable, making it a shopper’s paradise. Whether I was hunting for deals at outlet stores or browsing high-end brands, there was something for every budget. As someone who avoids stairs, I appreciated the mall’s accessibility. Multiple wheelchair access points and elevators made navigation a breeze. Families will love this place too! I saw kids having a blast in the vibrant children’s play areas, perfect for parents or a cool aunt or uncle looking to entertain little ones. The food court was a highlight, offering a wide range of cuisines, from classic burgers to international dishes, ensuring everyone found something tasty. Potomac Mills truly feels like a one-stop destination. With its diverse stores, family-friendly amenities, and accessible design, it’s a place I’ll return to for both shopping and fun. There’s several sitting areas and the seats are really comfortable (well the ones on the first wing) Im yet to explore the other wings of the mall since its sooooo huuuuuge

Great discounted shopping Mall experience! Clean, well-organized, and full of top brands. The Mall layout is really nice and parking is easy.

We visited Round 1 at the Potomac Mills Mall on a Friday. It was a blast and wasn't too crowded. The food was not bad it was just a bit on the colder side once we received it.

Good outlet that had all the brands I was interested in. Great deals in Kate Spade, North Face, Adidas and Aerie. Easier to commute here with a car, but we took a taxi from Washington downtown. Public bus routes seemed complicated and quite timetaking.

Visiting my son and daughter-in-law and my grandson. Went to to th mall to look around. The mall is huge. Every store you could think of and more in one place. Definitely will be coming back.

I was pleasantly surprised that this mall is still doing pretty well after so many years. The store selection is great and the stock is decent. It had been a while since I've visited as outlets have opened all around. I enjoyed the peaceful drive down and found what we needed at the store. Good job PMM management. No complaints here.

If you're looking for an activity in the DMV area area that is not centered around food or alcohol, look no further! This a great activity for kids, but also thrill seeking and active adults. You will wake up sore the next day as you venture through the rope courses and zip lines. There is a difficulty level for everyone like all way to double black. As for me, I stuck to purple and yellow and made it through three courses in the three hours I was here. They have water stations throughout the park so no need to bring your bottle. Do wear tight fitting long sleeve clothing to minimize the chance for bruising and random cuts. If you just wanna bring the kids, there are a couple places to sit near the front. Staff was helpful and friendly throughout the park!

My boyfriend and I went to their Glow in the Park event on September 12 and had an absolute blast! It was a lot of fun and there are options for all skills/age levels. We’ll definitely be back! Be prepared for your arms to be sore the next day though!

Our family loves to visit The Adventure Park at Sandy Springs! It’s always a fun way to spend an afternoon enjoying the outdoors. We were there on the 4th and my daughter was able to complete her most challenging course yet. She left feeling proud of her accomplishment. The staff are super friendly and encouraging and really go out of their way to make sure everyone leaves happy!

Best high ropes course I've ever been to! They have a world class course built in a beautiful patch of old trees. All of the courses and equipment feel sturdy and well maintained. Fun for anyone, whether you're a beginner or a serious athlete! And the staff were all helpful and attentive. I'll be going back and taking friends!

We had so much fun. The courses have so many levels of difficulty, so there's a variety if you're brand new or an advanced climber. I definitely recommend gloves wether tou bring your own or buy theirs. Bug spray and water is a definite must have. They do provide water spots but I need extra hydration. Also maybe bring clothes and shoes you don't mind getting dirty, as it is an outside park. It was hot but once the sun went down it did cool off a bit and it was stunning. The sounds of nature and just being in the trees such a beautiful experience. 10 out of 10. We are definitely going back and trying to do as many and more difficult as possible!!!

This place is amazing! I went here with my students on a rainy day. Even though it was muddy and very slippery, we had such a great time. It’s definitely worth visiting, no matter the weather!

Phenomenal time to kick off our family birthday week! Our daughter was born still on May 23, 2004 and we went this year on her heavenly 21st birthday. Me, husband, son, daughter & her boyfriend had the most amazing time. I have Multiple Sclerosis so I was hoping to just do one obstacle and ended up doing 4. They're challenging and is a natural encourager of those who came with you! Physically challenging but what a great team building activity. We thoroughly enjoyed the GLOW in the Park!!! Happy Birthday to Nia (5.23), to my husband Sean (5.25) & Me (5.28).

Such a beautiful park! I didn't know it was managed by the National Park Service. There is a $20.00 fee per vehicle to get in. It was well worth it! There is a visitor center, and a concession stand underneath it that sells ice cream and other treats. Lots of trails for walking. There is even areas for rock climbing, if you have the gear.

Beautiful park with stunning views of the falls! It’s a perfect spot for a short hike, photography, or just relaxing by the river. The trails are well-marked and easy to follow, and there are multiple overlooks to see the rushing water up close. Parking can get crowded on weekends, so it’s best to go early. Definitely worth the small entrance fee for such a peaceful and scenic escape so close to the city.

My 1St Time here. Upon arriving there is a parking fee per car. $20.00. Lots of parking and easy access to the visitor center the bathrooms and the various trails. However, I heard there are other areas where there is free parking. There are various trails you can take. The most scenic ones are by the Potomac River. There are 3x observation points. They are all great for views of the rapids. I would say the most challenging trail is the “River Trail” it has lots of treacherous rocky areas to overcome n climb. Follow the “blue “ painted markers on the trees to stay on track . This trail is obviously next to the river. If you want to get really close to the river there are various areas where u can climb down. They all require some effort of delegating the rocky areas. Go slow . I use a hiking poles as leverage. It helps. The easiest trail to walk or run on is the “Old Carriage Road”. The trail is quite long. I only accomplished 6.28M overall. About 3 hours. Which includes the stopping time for picture taking and resting to eat some fruit. The small restaurant offers burgers, pizza, hot dogs, ice cream and the largest warm salted pretzel I ever ate. Sorry I didn’t take the pic. It was good though. Enjoy the trail and the sites.

Had a wonderful experience there with my father it was very family friendly. The trails are are very clean also easily accessible from the parking lot. Mainly saw the first three overlooks and such and some of the trail requires some small level of rock climbing but nothing dangerous otherwise the walk around there has amazing veiws!! Paid $20 too get in i believe but was quite worth the money once you see the veiws!

Great Falls Park is a beautiful and easily accessible destination for a quick nature escape. The views of the falls are powerful and impressive, especially from the three main overlooks. Overlook 1 is the closest to the entrance, but the trail is uneven and not ideal for wheelchairs or small children. In contrast, Overlooks 2 and 3 offer excellent views and are much more accessible, with paved paths that accommodate wheelchairs and strollers. Well-marked trails, and ample parking make the experience even better.

Beautiful park especially if you get there early enough. Plenty of parking. Annual pass was better than one day pass. It is cheaper. We hiked a good amount of miles maybe around 4 miles. It was amazing the views were great many overlook but we came for the trail which was great it varies from the incline and regular paths. So be prepared if you want to hike it.

A wonderful day trip from the D.C. and surrounding areas if you want a nature escape with some stunning riverside scenery. Accessible viewpoints near the visitor centre offer great views of the falls and picnic tables to barbecue or spend time as a group at. You need to buy either a standard pass ($20 per car covering all passengers) or annual pass ($35) to enter, unless you have an ‘America the Beautiful’ pass. Would recommend doing so on nps.gov after checking if your target day is a free pass day.

Perfect place to visit! Admission is free, and parking is only $15, which is very reasonable for what you get to experience. The museum has an incredible selection of aircraft and helicopters on display, including the legendary Blackbird, the historic Kitty Hawk, the unique Oblique Wing research aircraft, and even the iconic Concorde. Each exhibit is well-presented, and you can get up close to the planes, making it both educational and exciting. There are also plenty of interactive displays and informative signs that explain the history and technology behind each aircraft, which makes it engaging for both kids and adults. One of the highlights is the observation area, where you can sit and watch planes taking off and landing—it’s such a fascinating experience, especially for aviation enthusiasts. The museum is well-maintained, clean, and easy to navigate, with friendly staff available to answer questions. It’s a great place for families, history buffs, and anyone curious about flight. You can easily spend a few hours here exploring everything. A must-visit if you’re in the area!

What a cool place. I've been to the National Air and Space museum in DC, but it has been a while. Just recently found out about this place and I just assumed it wouldn't be at quite the same level as the one in DC. I was wrong. It has a great selection of planes, jets, and other aircraft organized by ear. Several nice practical learning activities too. All of this without the hassle of getting around in downtown DC. My only complaint is that I wish they had some aircraft that were accessible. We recently visited a very small regional airport with a museum and were able to board and explore nearly all of their planes. I definitely recommend a visit!

This is a must see for any air or space enthusiasts. It’s about an hours by subway and bus from downtown DC - but well worth the trip. Walk right up to the Space Shuttle and an SR71 and hundred of other planes. We had an incredible 87 year old docent named Joe who gave us a free 2 hour tour. Joe brought personal experiences and detailed knowledge to all the planes and exhibits. Amazing.

One of the finest Aviation museums out there. Many one of a kind surviving airframes. The WW2 collection is impressive including many important German Airplanes which are top notch restored. Whenever I fly out of Dulles International I make sure to spend my time in this Museum. Admission is free, parking for 15$ with plenty of parking space available. Will continue to visit, the exhibition is changing regularly.

Amazing place to be even-though it’s not easy to reach there from the city. For those who have passion to fly or love planes, here is the place to be. Of course also for the ones who wanna know the history. There’s a free tour. The gentlemen will share their knowledge with the public. Wonderful!

Just visited the museum today and had an amazing experience! 🌟 The volunteers and employees were incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. I loved deep-diving into the history and learning so much. 👍 Practical info: - Parking: $15 (huge parking lot) - Open 7 days a week, 10 am - 5:30 pm - Best part? It's FREE and open to the public with no ticket required! 🎉 Highly recommend visiting!"

Absolutely fantastic! The sheer size and scale of the museum can't be fully appreciated through a camera lens. Many iconic aircraft from TV and movies are on display in full scale—most notably the SR-71, Enola Gay, and the space shuttle Challenger. Admission is free, with a $15 parking fee that's well worth it.

We were in the area and wanted to make a quick visit to walk through the battlefield park. The park is very well maintained and stretches out very far. There are several areas with signage and historical information to read about the battlefield. If you’re visiting during the summer months, be sure to bring mosquito spray with you.

What a great place to get exercise, immerse yourself in history, and enjoy nature. There are 2 major trails ranging from 5-6 miles. You can combine them for an entire day walk/hike. They are easy to moderate. There are a few side loops to be able to see more historical structures. There are markers along the way to learn about the significance of each area. It's a history lesson combined with physical activity! I have hiked nearly every inch of this park over the years. This weekend I hiked the First Manassas Trail and the Old Stone Bridge Loop.

Made a quick stop before heading to a concert, definitely will be back. I love history and cant wait to explore more of this area. They have a driving tour and quite a bit of trails to walk through. Beautifully maintained as well.

We came here on a Saturday afternoon, and no ticket is required. The visitor center has a small museum with very nice display of how the battle happened and what happened. It’s meaningful and also beautiful. Would recommend to visit if you happen to be in a nearby area.

A truly moving and educational 5-star experience! The Manassas National Battlefield Park is a phenomenal place to spend the day, and it felt like we were walking right through history. The staff is welcoming and informative, and the visitor center provides an excellent foundation. The highlight of the trip, however, was definitely the guided tour. The park rangers are extremely knowledgeable and bring the area's rich history to life, pointing out iconic spots like the Stone House, the striking statue of "Stonewall" Jackson, and the poignant plaques marking where officers like Brigadier General Bartow fell. Walking past the rows of cannons and along the classic split-rail fences with the wild views was breathtaking. The park has a peaceful atmosphere, but you can feel the incredible history that happened right under your feet. The interpretive signs, like the one about "The Marines Of '61," are also incredibly well-done. Download the NPS app if you want to explore with a self-guided tour—it's a great resource!

Visited during government shutdown. Visitors center and buildings were shuttered. Driving tour of the first battle included 4.5 miles of walking. Park isn't well-maintained and visitors litter / walk past litter. We picked up all we could (but left the dog poop packages). Tragic disregard for history.

Very nice preserved piece of history. There is a lot to see here if it interests you. The inside of the main building has quite a few artifacts and displays. Worth it to check it out if you're in the area.

Very expansive compared to the other wineries in the area. Also the most expensive. Tried the wine flight and the red house wine was our favorite. They have a tasting bar inside and out as well as several seating options inside and out. So many gatherings going on for birthday, Graduation, etc & allowed outside decor and food. They had a food truck on site Saturday afternoon and have some snacks on hand. Greatly appreciate the woman working inside that checked the allergies and confirmed the fresh baguette is dairy free

TL:DR - Beautiful property and good wine, but an awful first impression and terrible service from one staff member. We recently flew across the country to visit family in the area. This was the final stop on a Saturday evening after touring other local wineries, breweries, and restaurants. The grounds were immaculate and the vibe was energetic when we arrived. The place was busy but there was plenty of space for our small group and we were seated in a timely manner. Unfortunately, our first impression of service was terrible. It was especially jarring after having visited many other establishments prior where were made to feel welcome and appreciated. The hostess informed us we could order wine at an outside bar or inside. We opted to go inside to order. In hindsight, the whole negative experience could have been avoided had we simply chosen to order outside. At the indoor bar, there was one gentleman helping another couple, so we positioned ourselves at an open portion of the bar to wait patiently. We were never acknowledged by the man behind the bar, not even to say he'd be right with us. Nothing. After waiting for quite some time and beginning to feel impatient, the staff member behind the bar finally addressed us and was visibly annoyed when we explained we just wanted to order wine and not do a full tasting. He made a few passive and frankly, rude, comments about signage and hastily began trying to flag down other employees to help us. He then immediately went back to being friendly to other guests, creating an unwelcoming experience for us as first-time visitors who happened to look nothing like the other customers at the bar. I won't name him here but he is featured on the winery's website. Thankfully, Niki stepped in and did her best to turn the experience around. She was kind, apologetic, and ultimately went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We truly appreciated her efforts, as well as the hospitality from the other staff we encountered later on. All in all, we enjoyed the wine and the rest of our visit, but that rocky start left a bad impression. I hope this feedback is helpful. Especially for welcoming new guests who are excited to patronize a local business.

I’d been coming here for over 10 years and this winery keeps on delivering pretty good wines consistently, the service is outstanding by their wine servers at the different bar locations with ample space outdoors while keeping you protected by the sails that are being arranged throughout, the facility is kid friendly and snacks, charcuterie, cheese trays, olives and crackers are offered from a good selection in addition to food trucks services (I’ll elaborate on that separately), and a great live jazz music provided by “ Henry and Friends” a trio from Westminster, MD., to really enhance your visit as well . There’s ample free parking and Tesla charging stations are available making this a great pick on a Friday or a weekend rain or shine as they’re open up to 8:30 PM!

I had the best time with my husband! Allie, who helped us, was incredibly kind and thoughtful—especially when she noticed we had a baby and offered us indoor seating since it was too sunny outside. The staff overall was so sweet. Loved the location and the whole vibe. And the Albariño wine? Absolutely divine—it totally won me over! Can’t wait to come back again and again!

The vineyard was absolutely beautiful! The staff was welcoming and friendly, and the music created such a great vibe. We really enjoyed the scenic views and the cozy, relaxed atmosphere. A perfect spot for a laid-back afternoon — we’ll definitely be back!

I endorsed what has been already said by the other reviewers about this vineyard— beautiful and spacious and well decorated venue, very pleasant. The open view of the vineyard is great! It was a rainy day but it did not spoil the great time at the vineyard! The wine taste, the flight… 5 stars I also tried the 2020 Passeggiata (red): A super soft summer red, meant to be chilled.🍷cheers!

MD wineries generally do not have a great reputation for their wine making, but this place compares with some of the great ones in its sister state of Virginia. Great customer service with friendly service too boot. Highly recommended.

Leesburg Premium Outlets is a great place to shop, with a wide variety of stores. The layout is easy to navigate, and the outdoor setting makes for a nice walk while shopping. It can get crowded on weekends and holidays, and parking sometimes takes a bit of patience, but overall it’s a solid outlet mall with good bargains and lots of options.

Discover a shopping experience like no other with a wide selection of top-quality brands. Enjoy ample parking spaces, making your visit convenient and stress-free. Find incredible deals and elevate your style with the latest trends. Experience a pleasant and satisfying shopping trip. We look forward to welcoming you soon.

Leesburg Premium Outlets is not just a shopping center, it is a whole world of opportunities for those who appreciate style, quality, and great deals. My visit to this outlet left me with an extremely positive impression, and I am happy to share my impressions. First of all, the scale is impressive. A huge number of stores representing well-known brands offer a wide selection of goods for every taste and budget. From clothing and footwear to accessories and home goods, you can find almost anything your heart desires here. At the same time, prices are significantly lower than in regular retail stores, which makes shopping especially enjoyable.

I would give it a five stars if it wasn't for these wasted parking spaces. Really? Gotta penny pinch for that extra dollar with threats of towing? What are yall, the special ed crew of DC. Why dont ya just vote out those elected officials that makes you penny pinch. Geez. Nevertheless, great deals, great workers making the shopping experiences memorable. #Stop By and Avoid Pating for the parking spot to shop

Well worth the drive out from DC. This outlet mall has so many of the most popular brands with heavily discounted prices. It has good foodcourt options, great parking and outdoor entertainment too amuse/distract the kids.

I went to the Leesburg outlet for the first time. Some brands were perfect. Puma, Reebok, and Colombia were the best when I wanted to compare with other brands. Nike was packed but the prices were fair.

Great outlet mall with an amazing selection of stores! The prices are unbeatable, and I always find good deals on top brands. The place is well-organized, clean, and easy to navigate. Perfect spot for a full day of shopping.

WOW! Way more than I thought would be in here! I must have taken over 300 pictures. I thought it was going to be small from the looks on the outside. It was 2 floors! Highly recommend

This was one of my favorite stops on our whole trip. The volunteer guide was friendly and knowledgeable and I wish I had more time to spend with him talking about hospital architecture. The book selection in the gift shop rivals any other museum bookshop I’ve been to. Absolutely stop here if you’re in the area. Side note: there is a parking garage out back which is better than street parking.

This museum is well laid out and informative. The exhibits were fun and educational and did a great job at eroding the belief that surgeons during this period were butchers and primitive. The only change i would like to see is a larger display on the adaptations and advances in medical care during g the time such as more on prosthetics than what is there

I loved this place and found it very informative. The people working were very informative and made sure to follow up if you had questions. Lots of information packed into this space.

Interesting museum. The volunteer guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Only took about 45 minutes to see it all. On two floors with elevator access. Parking on street may be difficult but there is a garage to park. The street its on is absolutely charming. Would recommend if in the area, but maybe disappointing if coming from far away.

Ask for a private tour with Rich Parker! Very knowledge, worth every penny and then some. We learned so much! A lot of incredibly interesting historical information packed into this museum. Well worth the visit and leaves you wanting to learn more!

Smaller, but really interesting spot. Our docent, James, was super knowledgeable and a good speaker. It was helpful that he explained the layout of the exhibits, and the development of the standard procedures for caring for those injured in battle. He was also great about taking questions from visitors. Really worth a visit.

Great source of information for existing downtown businesses and those seeking to move or open a new business in downtown Frederick. They provide support, advice, resources, and put on numerous events that drive traffic into the downtown area.

Frederick has a scenic downtown which is entirely walk-able, and my pictures will show the typical sights. Enjoy being there...lots of shops and places to eat.

Really love this location. Im always here photographing engagement and proposals. Lots to do. So much scenery. Lots of places to eat and take great photographs. ig@jsasuphotography

Been there for the fire in ice carnival. Colorful and neatly organized. Lots of entertainment on the street and crowd bustling. Nice little carnival kinda fun.

Pride @ Downtown Frederick…Diversity is Beautiful!

Awesome events, always a good time!! Great to see all the activities planned for Frederick!!

Great to just walk around and enjoy the views.

I went to the bottling workshop here and it was brilliant! They started with a tour and a whisky history lesson that was well worth the time. Then we bottled up a barrel of whisky (about a dozen of us) working on the production line. I had a blast and recommend that everyone who likes whisky give this place a visit. The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable.

Loved the tasting room and overall incredible tour of the distillery. One of the best distilleries I have been to. Can’t miss stop for a weekend in the Leesburg area.

Took a tour and tasting here and had such a great time! I got to learn how they make their whiskey, gin, and brandy—from start to finish. The staff was absolutely amazing—super helpful, kind, and genuinely welcoming. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend stopping by. Take the tour, do a tasting, and try their fantastic whiskeys, gins, and brandy. Huge thanks to the team for such a memorable experience!"

You know it was pleasant when you leave thinking you want to move there! My partner and I both enjoyed a flight and a drink perfectly prepared and brought to us with warmth and professionalism. And to the owners- The staff really shines bright. They make the place feel special.

Terrific experience from the tour to the tasting. Our tour guide - I'm sorry I cannot remember his name - was excellent. He was polite, informative, gave us a brief history of the distillery, and explained the differences among the three types of alcohol Catoctin Creek produces. I highly recommend - even if you're not a spirit aficionado - that you visit for the history of the distillery if and for a taste of Purcellville VA! Thanks again! SJ

Great fun on father day weekend! Excellent helpful staff, making fantastic rye whiskey. We participated in the Catoctin Creek Distilling Company Bottling Workshops. We got to learn how to bottle, cap, seal, and label Roundstone Rye. I got to operate the "whisky cow", and "Ninette", the fancy French labeling machine! My family made bottles of whiskey for my father's day! There was a light breakfast, an outstanding tour from Scott, the bottling workshop activity, and a free tasting of various products at the end. Highly recommend!

Attended the Bottling Workshop and Tasting Session. Great history overview. Fun bottling experience with the opportunity to fill and complete bottles to buy and keep. Delicious tasting session. Highly recommend a visit to this local distilling store. Owners are very approachable and knowledgable.

We stopped in 30 Sept 2025 after engaging a tour guide for a “3 hour tour”, He had so much to tell us, he took 4 hours! Very informative and yet, so much could be said about the battles fought here. The Museum film and Cyclorama painting exhibit cost $40 for two seniors to see. The Cyclorama visit is timed but you can take your time walking the Museum. We visited the gift shop also. Tons of historical books there, along with glassware, magnets, and tasteful knickknacks. Lots of seniors and few school trips at this time of year.

Visiting this place was a very meaningful experience for me. There is so much to explore & learn. The video that is shown at the beginning of the museum tour was very well done, & the diorama experience was indescribable. Highly recommend for anyone interested in U.S. history.

We bought tickets for the diorama, movie and museum. Great experience overall! The movie was education and well presented, lasted about 15 minutes. The diorama visit is about 15 minutes as well and is worthwhile. The museum is huge, you could spend all day there. The gift shop is great. We left with toy rifles for the boys to do their own reenactment of the battles. The cafe offers delicious options, my only recommendation is they should offer more table for seating. They only had about 4-5 tables and that was not enough.

Gettysburg is a phenomenal historical site with more to see than the majority of visitors can get to in a short time. Just my personal practical advice, if you only have one day to visit the battlefield and don't want to hire a licensed guide, then the NPS auto tour is more than adequate. It is well marked, makes 16 stops at all the major highlights, and the audio & video segments do a great job. If you are more of an enthusiast and have 2 (or more) days, I recommend Carol Reardon & Tom Vossler's A Field Guide to Gettysburg. It lays out and thoroughly explains 37 stops. Taking a kind of combo approach, drive the auto tour with the Field Guide in hand. You get the shorter 16 stops, but the Field Guide gives you more depth and information at each spot. Plan on 2 to 4 hours on the battlefield itself and bring along a picnic and plenty of water. There's a lot to think about on this sacred ground. It's hard to stand anywhere in this peaceful, beautiful landscape and imagine the tragic carnage that happened here. But it's almost a spiritual kind of experience to try.

Parking at the visitor center was easy and that's were we recommend you start when visiting. The visitor center is very nice with some great displays, movies, bus your, driving tours, rest rooms and even have a cafe to grab a bite. We did a driving tour using the NPS app which was really very nice to explain and bring the battle and people to life as you look at the fields or hills Give this review a like👍❤️. FYI the budget cuts are not affecting this park. There were plenty of rangers and volunteers to make your visit enjoyable. In talking to the rangers they were all very happy since most of the cuts got rid a dead weight or managers that never talked to the public or helped your experience be better. Let the parks know you like having less overhead and more people making your visit better.

This was my second time visiting Gettysburg National Park. I was actually camping at Artillary Ridge which was about 5 minute drive. I could have hiked it. There has been a lot of changes. The museum has expanded and there was a special exhibit area. The Cyclorama is now an experience that starts with a film. Information is provided, directional markers have been installed so tou know where you are on the battlefield. The gift shop is nice and the grounds are lovely. You can take a bus tour to visit monunents or take the self guided audio tour. I highly recommend it, so much history.

Coming here was on our bucket list. There are many museums you can visit but this one was the main one we wanted to see. We really enjoyed seeing everything inside. The pictures don’t do it justice but I hope you enjoy. Maybe someday you can come here yourselves.

The diorama visit is about 15 minutes as well and is worthwhile. The museum is huge, you could spend all day there. The gift shop is great. We left with toy rifles for the boys to do their own reenactment of the battles. The cafe offers delicious options, my only recommendation is they should offer more table for seating. They only had about 4-5 tables and that was not enough.

Gettysburg is a phenomenal historical site with more to see than the majority of visitors can get to in a short time. Just my personal practical advice, if you only have one day to visit the battlefield and don't want to hire a licensed guide, then the NPS auto tour is more than adequate. It is well marked, makes 16 stops at all the major highlights, and the audio & video segments do a great job. If you are more of an enthusiast and have 2 (or more) days, I recommend Carol Reardon & Tom Vossler's A Field Guide to Gettysburg. It lays out and thoroughly explains 37 stops. Taking a kind of combo approach, drive the auto tour with the Field Guide in hand. You get the shorter 16 stops, but the Field Guide gives you more depth and information at each spot. Plan on 2 to 4 hours on the battlefield itself and bring along a picnic and plenty of water. There's a lot to think about on this sacred ground. It's hard to stand anywhere in this peaceful, beautiful landscape and imagine the tragic carnage that happened here. But it's almost a spiritual kind of experience to try.

Parking at the visitor center was easy and that's were we recommend you start when visiting. The visitor center is very nice with some great displays, movies, bus your, driving tours, rest rooms and even have a cafe to grab a bite. We did a driving tour using the NPS app which was really very nice to explain and bring the battle and people to life as you look at the fields or hills Give this review a like👍❤️. FYI the budget cuts are not affecting this park. There were plenty of rangers and volunteers to make your visit enjoyable. In talking to the rangers they were all very happy since most of the cuts got rid a dead weight or managers that never talked to the public or helped your experience be better. Let the parks know you like having less overhead and more people making your visit better.

This was my second time visiting Gettysburg National Park. I was actually camping at Artillary Ridge which was about 5 minute drive. I could have hiked it. There has been a lot of changes. The museum has expanded and there was a special exhibit area. The Cyclorama is now an experience that starts with a film. Information is provided, directional markers have been installed so tou know where you are on the battlefield. The gift shop is nice and the grounds are lovely. You can take a bus tour to visit monunents or take the self guided audio tour. I highly recommend it, so much history.

Coming here was on our bucket list. There are many museums you can visit but this one was the main one we wanted to see. We really enjoyed seeing everything inside. The pictures don’t do it justice but I hope you enjoy. Maybe someday you can come here yourselves.

This Was One Of The Most Beautiful, Somber Yet Humbling Places We Visited On Our Trip. Truly Awe-inspiring, Informative, Time Standing Still,Contemplating The Lives Lost On These Meticulously Kept Hallowed Grounds Of Our Nations Darkest Days.

An amazing experience. Clean and well maintained. Great learning experience for our children.

Such an important part of our national history. Unfortunately, our recent visit coincided with the recent government shutdown, so a lot of NPS facilities were not open. But we were able to freely explore the cemetery on foot. We were glad we were able to pay our respects.

The cemetery is free to visit, and so are the 3 daily guided tours. The history is so moving and it’s easy to get choked up when hearing about everything. I highly recommend the 5:30pm tour followed by Taps at 7pm. (But only if you want to cry.)

I loved seeing the battle field's to sit and think of what happened here. To see our own fighting against our own for a better life for all. Both sides had their reasons. Both sides understood the cost. Now, we live in a world where no one understands the cost of freedom. Now, everyone looks the other way and forgets. I served in 2-2 Infantry for 10 years. A lot of the pictures are of 2-2 Infantry. Dedicated to my fallen brothers.

We have been to the Gettysburg Soldiers National Cemetery several times; however, this year we had the opportunity to experience all of the flags on the graves during Memorial Day. Was a great site to see and experience. Full blog post and video on our website.

A great place to visit if you’re interested in United States history. Here you can see the graves of soldiers who fought in Gettysburg as well as the site of Lincoln’s famous Gettysburg Address.

Gift shop was okay. Expensive as to be expected. I've taken the house tour twice. It's no big deal... don't expect ghosts! Just a small historic house. That's it.

To hear and/or read about what happened to this young woman and her family and what they did during the battle is one thing, but to go and see the house, to learn about it fully, to see the bullet holes and everything else, you get a sense of wonder of it all. The tour was very well done and I do recommend it and while it is said of 'no ghost hunting', don't be surprised if something 'strange' happens.

Our tour guide was great. I have been on this tour multiple times. It was a first for my granddaughters and they really enjoyed it. I didn't take any pictures inside but visited her grave afterward

Really enjoyed our tour at the house. Our guide was very informative, knowledgeable and willing to answer questions. It was a interesting experience that I would reccomend people who are interested in history to check out.

The history concerning Jeannie in the house was very interesting. Our service dog got a little freaked out in the upstairs bedroom in the corner. Hmmmm Wonder what that could have meant. Recommend to anyone and everyone to tour this home.

Highly recommend purchasing tickets ahead of time. Tour takes about 45 mins. Tour guide was very entertaining.

It was an awesome tour the guides are professional. Also Ghostly Images of Gettysburg are awesome with their ghost tour.

Catoctin Mountain Park is a great place for hiking and spending time in nature. There are plenty of trails for all levels — from easy walks to more challenging routes. There’s a clear map at the entrance showing all the trails, which makes it easy to plan your hike. The park is peaceful, well-maintained, and full of scenic views. Definitely one of the best trail systems I’ve seen recently.

Awesome park to take your pup out for “A Walk in the Woods.” Paisley (dog) and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves doing the Yellow Blaze Trail which was I think roughly 5 miles after crossing the roadway off trail to see the Cunningham Falls. You should definitely visit it if you’re doing this trail! Also, Hog Rock and Blue Ridge Summit Vista have pretty views along the way. :-) Not a difficult trail and is great for couples, families, and pup walks! :-) Happy Trails.

What a way to spend a Sunday morning! We are National Park buffs and love visiting as many as we can. Did not realize the importance of this area to the early way of life. Rangers very friendly and helpful. Store well stocked and the most important thing is it was so clean!

Great areas to hike, beautiful wildlife, birds, etc. We went to Cunningham Falls, and despite the signs all over to stay off the rocks, and don't swim in the water, there were dozens of people - families with LITTLE KIDS - INFANTS - climbing up the falls and swimming in the water. They'll be the first to complain if someone get sick or injured. Other than the lawbreakers, we had a great time. We even saw a Garter snake! (NOT a "gardener snake" as someone pointed out...) We also saw a tree that had apparently been clawed at by probably a black bear. I would love for someone to verify that in my picture!

Catoctin Mountain Park, located in northern Maryland near the town of Thurmont, is a gem for nature lovers, hikers, and history enthusiasts. Managed by the National Park Service, it offers a peaceful escape with a mix of scenic vistas, rich history, and well-maintained trails. The park has a few primitive campsites and rustic cabins, especially at the Camp Misty Mount historic district, which dates back to the New Deal era. There are restrooms, picnic areas, and some parking lots, though they can fill up on weekends. No RV hookups or large campgrounds—this is more a day-use and primitive camping destination. Must visit park for camping and hiking.

Parking can be limiting but overall a great place to hike. Terrain is loose rocks so dress accordingly. Good for dogs but bring plenty of water and be prepared for steep inclines and possible snakes.

Beautiful hike. We went to Cunningham Falls. Spent some time here with our feet in the water while Dani painted with a young girl we met playing in a nearby creek with her grandmom. We need to come back and explore further

We visited Cunningham Falls State Park last weekend and had an amazing experience! It’s the perfect spot for weekend activities and quality family time. We stayed in one of the park’s cabins, which were cozy, clean, and well-maintained — a great balance between rustic and comfortable. It made camping with the family super convenient, especially for those who want the feel of the outdoors without pitching a tent. One of the highlights of the trip was hiking the trail to the waterfalls. The hike was scenic, well-marked, and family-friendly. The waterfalls themselves were beautiful and definitely worth the trek. We spent time relaxing by the falls, taking photos, and enjoying the peaceful natural surroundings. Whether you’re into hiking, relaxing by the lake, or just enjoying a cabin retreat, this park has something for everyone. Highly recommended for families looking to disconnect, explore nature, and create some great memories together. We’ll definitely be back!

The park was very clean with plenty of space to camp/picnic around. Parking was a first come first serve so it’s best to come at an early hour. There was an area where you could rent a kayak for an hour which was very enjoyable to really spend some time in the lake!

Quite place on an weekend, trails not too difficult . Serene lakeside. There was no security or any kind of watch person when we went. They have place for Barbecue. Clean washrooms too. Playarea for children is also there. Looks like there's boating ,kayaking facilities there,but it was all closed when we went.

Great place for a hike! We visited in September and did the upper trail to lower trail loop. Did it with my 70 year old fit parents. Took about 1.5 hours. Totally worth it! Saw a frog, a fuzzy caterpillar and a snake Unfortunately for us swimming in the lake was closed in mid September. Weekday and weekend Very well kept

This beautiful State Park boasts waterfalls, a lake and trails. A dip in the lake after hiking the trails to the falls is so refreshing! Bathrooms and changing rooms, picnic tables and shade. Carry out your trash.

This is a magnificent place to be! It was extremely quiet and enjoyed. With endless acres of beautiful mother nature. The creeks and waterways are so lovely and calming. There are several walking and hiking paths. The bathhouses were clean, well stocked, and nicely maintained. As for the staff that I met and talked with. Every one of them was pleasant, kind, talkative, and professional. The downsides are that. The campsites are way too close together! The space between them and around the campsites is all way too open. Aside from fallen branches and leaves, that's pretty much it.

Perfect for a walk or a bit of hiking — you can choose between a flat trail or a more challenging hill path, depending on your energy. After about a mile, you’ll be rewarded with a cute little waterfall! Don’t forget to check out the two cozy beaches, South and North beach , on opposite sides. You can rent a canoe for $27 per hour per person, freshen up with available showers, and grab a hot snack from the local stand. Entry is just $3 — totally worth it for some quiet time in nature!

The Scouts feedback was this was outstanding! They really enjoyed Whitewater Rafting and Kayaking. They really enjoyed the guides in both whitewater rafting and kayaking. The camp ground and staff was also on top of their game! Thanks for allow our troop to create memories that will be lasting!

We had an amazing time on our first white-water rafting trip. Being on the water was so peaceful, and the rapids were fun and manageable. (On our next trip, we'll probably go for slightly more challenging rapids.) Our raft guide, Drew, was fantastic. He wanted us to have the best experience possible! We hope to go out on the water with River & Trail Outfitters again soon!

Great adventure with kids, the river was lovely, water clear, lots of wildlife. Our guide Brent was a real delight, we all had great time. Highly recommended if you’re feeling adventurous!

My children and I went white water rafting with River and Trail Outfitters on 7/21/2025. It was an amazing time! While traveling down the river, we were welcomed by bald eagles and a golden eagle. The staff was excellent! Not only did our guide go out of their way to ensure we had a great time, but he also shared some of his historical knowledge of Harpers Ferry. Also, the entire trip was safe and professional. I highly recommend rafting with River and Trail Outfitters, I am certain you will have an excellent time.

I had an amazing time with friend on the rafts. I think the instructions prior to the event. Iuld have been given in a more detailed manner especially for persons joining for the first time. Other than this small but important detail, we had a blast.

Amazing experience with all my coworkers! The guides were professional, fun, and knowledgeable. We felt safe and had a very enjoyable time. Thank you!

We took our young boys white water rafting with River & Trail Outfitters and had the best time! The guides were amazing—fun, friendly, and so knowledgeable. They made us feel safe the entire trip while keeping it exciting and full of laughs. Our guide Kai was the best! Such a great family experience that we’ll definitely do again. Highly recommend!

Few stores and almost few visitors are there. Literally very few stalls in the food court. Not worthy to visit!

We stopped by back in March on a Friday afternoon and it was completely empty. A lot of stores are closed or empty. Kinda sad to see such a large property look like a ghost town. The food court is also kinda sad. Not a lot of options. The bathrooms are huge but dated and completely empty.

For premium outlet, I would have to say at least 50% of the stores are closed while the main staples exist, such as Under Armour, Eddie Bauer, Columbia, Nautica, Gap, and Brook Brothers, there are barely any other stores to visit. The food court is even more disappointing with only three options. If I ever come back, it will only be to visit those big namebrand stores for a quick trip and that’s it.

Man I remember when this place was super busy and a well taken care of place. Now it’s sad and getting to be run down. Still has a few decent stores, but it really could use some rejuvenation. Times have changed since I was a kid, and locations that learn to change with them succeed while others that stick to the same old thing don’t.

Once a shopping destination—now just a sprinkle of stores I revisited Hagerstown Premium Outlets hoping for variety and value, but it’s clear the center has lost its spark. Most of the major brands are gone, and what’s left feels like a scattered mix of smaller stores with little cohesion. The energy is low, and the layout feels dated—like it’s been frozen in time for the past few years. If you’re looking for a full outlet experience, this isn’t it. It’s more of a quick stop than a shopping day. Disappointing to see so much potential go untapped.

Don't make a special trip, most of the stores are empty. Possibly worth your time if you are in the area. An update based on the response from the outlet. I was not saying the stores didn't have merchandise, I was saying most the available spaces do not have tenants and therefore there aren't a lot of stores to shop in.

Its a nice shopping center, there's different kind of branded store and even thrift store and many more. Plenty of parking space. I just noticed that some stores are closed, maybe because of the pandemic. So sad but I'm sure some stores struggle to keep up the sales.

Caledonia State Park is a true gem in Pennsylvania! This beautiful park offers something for everyone including stunning trails like the Appalachian Trail and Ramble Trail, perfect for hiking or a leisurely stroll through lush forests and alongside clear streams. The historic iron furnace adds a unique touch of history, and the picnic areas and playgrounds make it ideal for families. The well-maintained facilities and friendly staff elevate the experience. Whether you're camping, fishing, or just soaking in the natural beauty, Caledonia is a must-visit. Highly recommend for a peaceful outdoor getaway!

The park is beautiful and the area is clean. However, they really pack them in. Campsites are side by side in areas and our campsite # 149 should not be a site at all. We would have been very disappointed if not for the fact that we hike most of the day. Please retire #149. Nice trails but a bridge is missing off of Waterline Trail. Seems like an important bridge to access other things if you are staying at Hosack campground. We were stuck and couldn’t find another way so we waded through the water. Would be great if they rebuilt the bridge.

A great state park with beautiful picnic areas, a pay to use pool, and hiking trails (including the Appalachian Trail). The park is amazing when you catch the Mountain Laurel and the Rhododendrons in bloom. There is also a waterfall and small creeks.

The park is really nice. There are nice trails here too. Seems like a really popular park. Its definitely worth visiting and walking around. There and nice creek flowing the park. It is pet friendly.

It’s a really great campground. Sites are just far enough apart. Couple issues I had were the tent site being so much higher than the parking area. Had to climb up and down. Site was recommended to me by a park employee because I was trailering a motorcycle. Parking spot was longer to accommodate the vehicle. Still though I’d probably use the site again if I had to. The only other issue was the road noise. It’s just off RT30 and it’s a busy road. All night it seemed. Very loud. But what an absolutely beautiful area. Has a beautiful pool. The streams that flow through it are amazing. Well kept. Bath house was very nice. Very clean. Park employees were just great. Just wish it was a little quieter at night.

The photos that I posted are of site 82. This is probably better suited to campers with a 6 person or less tent. My 6 person tent fit into the park created tent pad that is almost completely level. This is one of the better tent sites. It's diagonal to the shower house and restroom. There is a site directly across that's kind of close but the sites on either side are enough distance away so that you're not right on top of each other. The tent pad is a higher elevation than the driveway and you can't park an RV up there. Really enjoyed this trip and the pool.

Nice park for camping. Little barrier between camp sites. We'll kept public shower stalls and toilets. Had electricity and water at site. Lots of hungry chipmunks. This site is about a mile from main campground and pool.
