Great waterfront area with lots of cafes & bars. During the day it’s a quiet area for a walk but it really comes a live at night. If you have kids there’s some great ice cream places in Kings street just before you come to the waterfront area. The night I was there, a local boat club was out sailing and when the sun went down there were two very talented guys singing in the little park area with the Astro turf.

I always love this area. I always tell myself if I ever move back to the area I'm going to live in old town. Unfortunately the waterfront is currently flooded thanks to hurricane Erin 8/2025. But all the restaurants and bars not flooded seem to be open! I'm going to have to come back and shop during daylight hours

Love love loved it here. I can't wait to come back. I stayed at the Hilton on King Street, hopped on the FREE trolley, went to the Farmers market, and purchased some fresh Greek yogurt that was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS then got a yogurt drink from the Amish. The muffins from Zuzu was great! Even got something to help my Dog

Old Town Alexandria is hands down my favorite spot in the area! It has such a charming, historic vibe with tons of amazing restaurants and dining options for every mood. Plus, it’s super pet-friendly, which makes it even better for strolls with your pup. Perfect for weekend walks, good food, and relaxed vibes. Always a go-to for me!

It was my first time to visit Alexandria. I love the walk way. It’s animal friendly and has a lots of cafeteria and restaurants. I love it!! Definitely I am going back.

This is truly a beautiful place to sit and take in the calming views of the water. It’s a serene spot where you can really relax and enjoy the moment.

Very cool place. Historic architecture and lots of place to eat. it looked like there was a variety of shopping opportunities, but we just went down for dinner. We took the free shuttle from the Hilton hotel area. Very convenient.

Service in atmosphere was on point food was nice and all you can eat for brunch. Great views, great customer service and under direction of Chris from housewives of Potomac. This place has a few good reasons why you should check it out I’m glad I did. PS be on a diet coming here. Paid parking below

I have been going here for 25 years. I love it. Lots of bathrooms. Good air conditioning. Fun shops nearby. You have to see the glass aquariums the print studios and the views from the studios around the elevators are fantastic. We met the current president Edward Mccluney. The sun print artist has items that say torpedo factory that make good gifts.

A nice building at a gorgeous river front location in Alexandria, VA. Spacious, with a lot of cozy boutiques and art shops, creative studios and workshops. The only thing that is missing there is a talent. And this is a must for any art center. But it is definitely a positive influence, more like a community gallery and public exhibition space.

This place is Really really cool. It is a massive creative space with 3 whole floors of art studios and artists making, Exhibiting and selling some truly spectacular works of art, all within a historical building where they actually used to build torpedoes. There’s some poetry in the fact that a place that once only created instruments of Destruction is now a place of creativity and artistic beauty. If you really like art, or are looking for something nice to get for yourself or as a gift to someone you care about I totally recommend checking this place out. Even if you end up just looking around and the pieces that are for sale are outside your price range you will still be glad you came. Support your local artist and come check this place out.

There were so many places showcasing stunning artworks and paintings, but one piece really stood out—a breathtaking snow mountain scene painted by a talented artist. 🖌️🏔️ Her work was so realistic, it felt like you could step right into it! The best part? All her paintings were bought by an admiring fellow artist. 🎨👏 What an inspiration!

Just discovered Susan Sanders' stellar 2nd floor Torpedo Factory gallery of hand painted, 3D printed earrings, brooches, pendants, necklaces, and beads! Everything in her atelier is original and beautiful; and she also accepts special orders. I'm so glad I stopped in to meet Susan and find my new favorite pair of earrings: Susan's gorgeous, dangling Quarter Twist masterpieces of wearable art, which she 3D printed to her own design then brush-painted with many layers to achieve lovely color and depth.

It’s free! There are three floors full of little shops displaying art work of various kinds taking up this whole building! We enjoyed how you can see the arts work space and watch them create. There’s a huge variety, but almost everything was very expensive in all the shops. Needless to say, but we didn’t buy anything but still had a good time walking and taking in all the artists and their work. Would recommend if you’re looking for an art piece or just killing time.

Very Clean. Affordable tours. Great view at top. If you like architecture, there is plenty to see and learn on first and second floor. You can see and tour all in about 3-4 hours. For the history buffs, a lot of insights can be learned from the tours, specifically on the upper floors. 2 Active lodges are located here. Solve the elevator mystery!

Bummer of a time today, as I was very excited to explore and learn about Masons and GW’s involvement. Instead of learning about what Masons are and how meetings work and what their focus is, and how and why GW got involved, we were simply shuffled to each floor and told to look around. Each floor was vastly underwhelming, only a few notable pieces, such as a desk “thought to have been used by Washington.” They have a strand of his supposed hair, which is a big highlight apparently. With little explanation, we looked at bizarre costumes various masons and affiliate groups wear. View was nice, for $20 a hard pass. Wildly weird time. Wife is convinced this place is haunted. We live locally… any visitors reading this, skip unless you’re a Mason.

Such a beautiful and historic landmark! The George Washington Masonic Memorial stands proudly over Alexandria and offers an amazing view from the top. The building itself is stunning, and the guided tour gives a lot of insight into both George Washington’s life and the Masonic history behind it. Peaceful, educational, and very well preserved — definitely worth a visit if you’re nearby.

The George Washington Masonic Memorial @ Alexandria is a neoclassical shrine dedicated to George Washington who was a Masonian himself. It was built during the period 1922-26 and offers a fascinating look at the history of Freemasonry. The tallest structure in the DC region, the top of the tower offers a panoramic 360 deg view of the DC region, the Potomac river and the town of Alexandria. It is advisable to take the guided tour as access to the top of the tower and use of elevators is aided by the staff

Awesome! Loved it!! Wonderfully modern and air-conditioned, so makes for a great stop in the summer. Lots of George Washington artifacts, not just Masonic related. Although the Masonic history and chambers were really cool! Tour was $20/ea for 1 hour guided. Our guide, José, was fantastic! Very informative and such and interesting place. About 10 in our tour group. Book online ahead of time to guarantee entry. Ample free parking. It's rentable for events. Cool old "magical" elevators and don't forget the observation deck! The view is spectacular! I can't believe this place wasn't just crawling with people, but it was pretty quiet. Tour tickets grant you access for the entire day, so stay alls long as you like. Don't miss the clock that sat at Washington's bedside when he died. The attending physician cut the weight to mark the time for eternity.

Great views. Museum rooms are put together rather well for being a Masonic temple. Neat artifacts and great tour guide. Worth a visit if you are in old town but the price for the museum is a bit excessive.

Wonderful monument to visit. Book the tour and buy the tickets on line. Plenty of free parking. Great tribute to George Washington life outside of his presidency.

I mean the church is beautiful and have lot of history. But the guide tour is pretty short (10 minutes), since the church is pretty small. And here’s no other places you can visit except the gift shop (and the price of the staff in gift shop is pretty expensive). In sum, if you visit Alexandria, you may stop here by ten minutes, it’s really not necessary to drive from other places to here.

Beautiful church with so much history and interesting members from the years! Super sweet and knowledgeable guide that allowed us to sit in the Washington box pew and walked us through the renovation history, presidents that attended as well as the fun tip that Churchill also discovered the battle hymn of the republic here that was then played at his funeral. Neat adjoining cemetery. Nice of the British think that we Americans were almost immortal and gave us so much extra time. (Literally by losing the war and figurately with their tasteful defacing of headstones with their bayonets.)

We had a visitor and wanted to show them the local area. We popped in to have a look around and a very pleasant lady gave us quite an informative tour. She was very knowledgeable and gave us a very pleasant experience exploring the church.

What an extraordinary experience. To visit the church that George Washington attended. Our Docent gave the most remarkable tour and was so pleasant. We all fell in love with him. The interior was stunning and along with the stories he shared, made it one of the most memorable experiences of our whole 2 week trip.

Great location in the heart of Alexandria. There is a cemetery on the same parcel of land. Traditional pews inside the church. It definitely worth a visit. I walk by it most of the days when walking to the water. We drive by it when touring our real estate clients through Old Town Alexandria.

This is an incredible historic and religious venue. I'm visiting from Carson City Nevada I'm ere attending a memorial service for a relative. Christ Church is in Episcopal Church from the mid-1700s! It is in incredible repair. Coming from the mountain west, we have nothing comparable in age . I refer you to their website. Where there is a tremendous amount of contemporary and historic information.

There was no tour guide, but the doors were open. The yellow sanctuary was beautiful and I could just envision George Washington attending church service there.

A wonderful historic house to visit. Built even before Mount Vernon and restored beautifully. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. It is only a short walk to this house from the waterfront.

I got my Keys to the City pass from the visitor's bureau, which opened at 10:00 am. My first stop was the nearby Carlyle House, which honored my Keys coupon. I noticed that tours start on the hour. It was around 10:10, and I didn't want to wait 50 minutes. Without any special request, a personal tour was begun for me at 10:10. Wow! Geoff was a wonderful historian. I thought he must have a decade of experience, but he actually was fairly new to the property. The tour was informational. The house is well-preserved, and the artifacts were helpful in imagining the lives of the contemporaries. There was a slave sleeping quarters shown, and I would like even more information about the enslaved people who created the wealth, did all the building, and worked on maintenance. There was good information about the roles of women in managing the household.

Great tour. A knowledgeable docent gave us a comprehensive tour of the house with early history of Alexandria and America.

Tour the house, our guide made it educational and fun. Totally recommend to visit the Carlyle house

Guided tour of the house or self guided (free) admission of the basement. Great stop for those interested in the local history.

The lady giving the tour was nice and the house was beautiful. On the downside, the whole tour was about Carlyle’s family living in the house. His role in the local slavery business and him owning many slaves was not addressed ONCE. Not a single mention about the slaves living in the house, their storys etc. and what cruelty they had to endure at this dark point in time in the American history. Very sad and frustrating.

I've lived here all my life, and this was the first visit to this piece of history. The house has been beautifully restored to the original time it was built. The docents were so very knowledgeable, which helped to bring the house to life.

So worth checking out. A rare time capsule. So rare in fact, that even the original owners realized it was worth preserving with as much originality as possible...back in the 1700s! It's also worth your money for the guided tour. Our guide was wonderful.

I had to pleasure of taking the poison tour that was offered by the museum, and I had so much fun learning about the way people in the late 1800 to early 1900s utilized what we now know was poisonous chemicals and herbs as unique treatment methods. It was so cool getting to tour the shop and storage spaces and learn about how the shop operated when it was still in business. I would love to come back and take another tour during their normal business hours to browse the exhibits, but Gray, our tour guide did a phenomenal job during our hour-long tour!

A preserved time capsule of an authentic apothecary. The guides were very informative and the exhibit showed original apothecary jars with the materials preserved inside. A unique look into the past.

Great museum to visit if you like old vintage stuff. Tickets were 5$ for adults and 3$ for kids. The people working there are amazing and very friendly. Also their shop has a lot of things to check out.

Amazing experience! Guide was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. This place is truly frozen in time, and you will learn so many surprising things about the way people used to treat ailments and practice medicine.

Very interesting place to visit. We had a great tour guide that was able to answer any of our questions. I would reccomend stopping by if you're in the city.

What a treasure! We went for the first time this week and it was so fascinating. The store was open during George Washington’s presidency and closed in approx 1930. We had a wide age range from lower elementary up to teens and the staff was so great with speaking to each group at their level. Our tour guide was delightful and so patient. The kids loved smelling the herbs and trying to guess how things were used. Seeing all the old furniture and bottles was really cool, I loved seeing the pill maker and a machine that could make corks the right size. There were other things I didn’t expect like perfume, razors, baby bottles, and dyes for clothes. I took so many pictures but I know there were things I missed…which means I need to go back! It was also fun to visit after reading “The Lost Apothecary”

The guide was sick when I came so it wasn’t as fun to just go around reading everything. Worth checking out if you like history. Included in the city key pass. The person in the shop was really informative and nice. I was the only one there at 11am on a Friday .

Nice visit to the museum. The museum has been carefully preserved and it is really cool to walk the footsteps of our founding fathers. What really stands out is the people who work there. The guides are impressive with their knowledge of the history and we were really glad to have learned so much. They make it very interesting. It is a nice tour and you should put it on your itinerary.

Stopped in Alexandria on our way down to Mt Vernon. Quaint museum and attached tavern/restaurant - Would highly recommend stopping by and paying $5/ticket to walk around or do the guided tour option.

I opted for the guided tour and am so glad I did. The docent was a college professor and really knew her history. Terrific presentation and a well-preserved historic place. Well worth a visit.

Stopped in for a quick lunch after being told from multiple people that this is a "must see" place in Old Town Alexandria. And let me tell you, they were right! It was lunch time so there were a few groups of people. There was a long wait time to get a table mainly due to low staffing. But everyone I encountered was super friendly and welcoming. After reading the pamphlet about the history of the tavern, I asked the waitress if they still sold the rum punch because I didn't see it on the menu. She said that they do and would check if they had any made. Even though she was super busy helping so many tables, she made a special trip to the basement to get my drink. I felt so sorry for her because then other patrons started asking me what this drink is that looked so good and they started asking for it as well! All in all, I would certainly recommend and will be going again when I'm back in town. Good food, friendly staff and many, many years of history in this place!

What a little gem of American history. Gary did a fantastic job of bringing that history to life with his tour. The museum is set up for self-guided tours, but if there's a docent available, you'll have a much better experience - the stories are great! Pat in the gift shop was super friendly and helpful as well. A bargain at only $5!

The host who checked us in was very friendly and enthusiastic on answering any questions we had before and after our self guided tour. She made sure everyone was kept safe during this time of covid. The tavern was very beautiful and fascinating !

We love this park and walking trail! It is so well maintained and interesting. Visitor center staff volunteers are very pleasant and helpful. Every visit is unique! So much wildlife in this vibrant wetland.

A gorgeous place to enjoy nature. Hike the boardwalk and the wooded trails and you’ll see plentiful birds, reptiles, flowers, and fungus. The nature center is small but informative. No dogs allowed on the boardwalk. Bring binoculars for bird watching.

Came one sunset for a bat program through the county park system, and didn't see any bats. But as we strolled the boardwalk through the swamp, we did get to see a bunch of beavers! Totally cool! Also lots of local birds and frogs and more. Totally need to come back in the day and see what else there is to see

Gorgeous place! Very well-maintained trails and clean restrooms in the visitor center. The leaves are starting to change. Look forward to the peak of autumn foliage 💕

This is park with nature trails. Kids are welcome, but need adult supervision so that they stay on the boardwalk. An excellent place for those interested in biology, nature trails….a very quiet place in the heart of the city. We enjoyed this outing

Great park to walk in the fall...you can hear birds, see turtles, hear the rustle of leaves and see the many colors of the leaves fall from the trees. In different seasons there is different animals like herons and river otters and Canada geese.

Very nice nature preserve with a boardwalk over a body of water. Saw a turtles, frogs, caterpillars, and some really nice native vegetation.

I went to Woodlawn many years ago, so it was nice to go back. I went specifically for the annual needlework show that is held there each March. The house was closed for the show. However, if you are interested in the fiber arts, I highly recommend this show. Also, the Pope-Leighey House, a Usonian style house by Frank Lloyd Wright is on the property and is possible to tour. We'll worth seeing if you are a Wright fan. The gardens were not in bloom, but even given this, they did not seem extensive. Woodlawn did not seem particularly welcoming to people with physical restrictions. The main bathrooms, for example, were down a flight of stairs in the basement. I did not see an elevator but maybe there is one. Best to check on this ahead of any visit.

Woodlawn is a wonderful field trip to learn more about the George Washington’s family and the rich heritage of the land of the original Mount Vernon estate lands. Highly recommend a presentation by Elizabeth Reese for your group on the topic you are exploring here. We attended a Lafayette focused talk, she was excellent on the topic. The permanent structure tent for presentations, lectures and I assume social events (Weddings) was beautifully appointed with all the needed audiovisual equipment. Don’t hesitate to use this venue, great service and staff on hand. Parking is close to the venue, just adjacent the tented pavilion.

The reason I went was because it was a field trip for a school project. I thoroughly enjoyed both houses for different reasons. The history behind both homes was fascinating. Quite the juxtaposition of style.

A must-see for architecture lovers! The Frank Lloyd Wright Pope-Leighey House is an understated architectural treasure. This Usonian (“US-Utopian”) home offers a fascinating glimpse into Wright’s vision for affordable, beautifully designed living. The 45-minute tour is a great crash course in his design philosophy—minimalist, functional, and attuned to nature. Don’t miss the list of Wright’s famous “No-Nos”—it’s both amusing and insightful. The story of Marjorie Leighey, who fought to preserve this home, is truly inspiring.

I've visited the Frank Lloyd Wright house about 8 times, 2 in the last year. Oddly enough, every time I visit, there are people who not only love Frank Lloyd Wright but have visited a bunch of his other houses and have a great deal of previous knowledge about the architect.The young lady who does the visit is a current teacher in the public school system in Virginia and she is passionate, fun and knowledgeable about her topic. I highly recommend visiting first Woodlawn Plantation then doing the 5 minute walk to the Pope house. Even the gift shop has fun stuff. I love the Frank Lloyd Wright stained glass drinking glasses. I bought a whole set!

The Frank Lloyd Wright house was incredible. I’m usually not a fan of more modern architecture but the Pope Leighey house was so warm, cozy, and truly special. Everything was so thoughtfully designed and our tour guide, Autumn was so knowledgeable, friendly, and told the story of FLW, the Popes, and the Leighey’s so well. Really such a unique architectural experience. Woodlawn is usually more my style of tour since I love colonial and early American history as well as Federal and Georgian style architecture. This tour was extremely disappointing. I wish there was a way to review these two properties separately as the Pope Leighey house would be 5 stars and the Woodlawn experience would be a 2. The house itself seems like it isn’t very well-maintained with cracks readily visible both inside and outside. There is also very little period furniture in the home which is shocking to me. I think we can all agree that slavery is bad and I think there is definitely a balance to addressing the past while also still telling the story of the inhabitants of the home. The rooms had bare minimum furniture and art on the walls, but every room was covered with huge placards constantly pummeling us about how slavery is bad. It’s really not what I came to the home to learn about. I came to learn about the Washington extended family and how the home played a part in the larger American history story. Additionally, we were told that the home had quite a few families living in the house but there’s really only one family I wanted to learn about? There was a point in the tour when the tour guide just glazed over the other families like “this one was racist so their views about the house were invalid and now we’re moving on” and “this lady added the unsightly radiators”. I would come back again to do various other Pope Leighey tours but I really think Woodlawn could be completely skipped.

Visited Wright at Twilight and it was delightful! 40s soft music, snacks, drinks, candlelight tables set up in the garden. Docents are amazing and the house is fabulous!

A good place to start if you want to visit Alexandria. Many historical locations take vacation days on Monday through Wednesday so if you want to see everything visit here Thursday through Sunday. Some updates on their maps to make it a little bit easier for everyone but there's definitely a lot of great things to see. Don't miss the Torpedo Factory Art Center and free trolley up and down King Street.

Get a good lay of the land, a free map, and the scoop on upcoming old Town activities at the visitor center. Staff is helpful and friendly.

We stopped at the Visitor Center after we grabbed our morning coffee, to see what was happening in Old Town. We finished our coffee in the comfy seats on the porch. Then after we checked out the extensive information inside, the helpful staff asked if we were interested in a walking tour. It turned out that there was one leaving from there within a few minutes and we decided to go. The price was very reasonable and our guide, (Ashley?) was so friendly and knowledgable. There is so much history and historical architecture around every corner, from as far back as the 1700's. Just imagining George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and other Forefathers roaming these streets was worth the visit.

During the Alexandria Art Festival, the French Restaurant Brabo, served samples of wine and duck on the porch of the Visitor Center, delicious. On two separate occasions, I found events with questionable details. I called the Visitor Center, and they were very helpful in providing me, with the correct information.

The volunteers were friendly and very helpful. I enjoyed my time there. They gave me all the information I needed.

Staff at the visitor center was so helpful and thoughtful to navigating from in Alexandria to Washington, DC. Very accommodating

Super friendly staff! I rode the Amtrak up from Norfolk/ Virginia Beach and this was my first stop for maps and guides since DC does not have a proper tourist information center. They have a wide variety of maps and visitors guide from the whole area! Nice clean bathrooms also!

I occasionally spend time in the area and finally was able to spend time here at the Alexandria National Cemetery. I enjoyed reading the history of this cemetery and the history of the national cemetery system (was not aware!). The grounds are solemn and well kept. My thoughts and prayers to all the service members here and their families. I'm glad I was able to spend some time here, learn about this place, and dwell on so many people's sacrifices.

A bit out of the way but an interesting corner of history. Much smaller than the well known military cemetery in Arlington but still an important little piece of history and it is still in use. Worth visiting for reflection on our history and the cost of war.

It’s beautiful. There isn’t much I can say except there is so much history in this one spot. It’s peaceful, well maintained and I enjoyed reading about the history. If you want some quite time wonder and read about all who they there. Just beautiful.

Fireflies at sunset, it's a beautiful and surreal place. Reminds me of a combination of The Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean.

Had a great time placing Flags for Memorial Day at Alexandria National Cemetery

Alexandria National Cemetery is a historic cemetery established in the mid-1800s and maintained by the government. The gravestones look similar to those found at the famous Arlington National Cemetery. What's interesting about the Alexandria National Cemetery is that there are other cemeteries right behind it with older history and gravestones. Together, they make a peaceful place for a stroll to reflect on life.

Clean, quiet and beautifully maintained, the cemetery is in the western portion of the Wilkes Street Cemetery complex. It's a collection of cemeteries dating as part back to 1751. If your into local history do a web search for the complex and Old Town Alexandra history to download a walking tour. It's a few blocks from the subway and boarders the US patent office where there is a tiny modern museum / exhibition space.

Great little craft brewery in Alexandria. It's a little distance out of the Old Town area but well worth the trip. We stopped through the area while I was in town for a meeting. Really enjoyed the atmosphere there. They had some great craft brews and good eats from a local food truck.

If you’re searching for an amazing destination in the Alexandria, VA area, look no further! This place is a total gem, and I can't get enough of it—especially when the weather heats up! The energy in the air is absolutely contagious, and you can sip on some of the finest local craft beers around. It’s the perfect spot to kick back, relax, and revel in the vibrant atmosphere!

A great selection of beers in a nice clean taproom. You can drink near the production area which is cool. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. The bathrooms are clean and there is plenty of seating both inside and outside!

Port City is one of our favorite breweries in the area. They have a ton of options and are always releasing new beers. You will enjoy them if you particularly like german-style beers! I can't wait until they open a kitchen so there will be food on site too. There is always a ton of parking, they are very dog friendly, and they host so many fun events for the community! Would definitely recommend.

Super awesome brewery. Great selection of beers. Food truck outside super tasty. Can’t go wrong. Staff is mad chill

Carne Asada Tinga Tostada was way too spicy to eat. Shrimp tostada was excellent Carne asada fries were good if you’re sharing. They load it up. I got a light citrus hazy and it was good

Great place to have a beer with plenty of seating. The beer was good and there was plenty of options and different things to taste and enjoy. I would say if you are visiting breweries stop by and have a pint it will be worth it. The staff was very polite and helpful.

Nice square, homeless there, but safe and pleasant, fountain is a nice feature.

The Alexandria City Hall, also known as the Alexandria Market House & City Hall, is a building in Alexandria, Virginia, built in 1871 and designed by Adolph Cluss. It was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1984. Alexandria City Hall was built on the site designated for the market and city hall when Alexandria was founded in 1749. Alexandria City Hall is the square’s backdrop, with beautiful brick-walled historic architecture and a clock tower. It is open to the public and located above a parking garage. Waterfront Park and Torpedo Factory Art Center are nearby tourist attractions. It's a perfect little park with a water fountain, making it a great place to sit and relax under the sun and shade. This place also hosts a weekend farmers market, which attracts large crowds.

Please help me understand how this new route from the old 28 A to the A 25 is fair? This new route goes all around via almost 30 stops taking passengers round about way between the two stops. This is just another example of poor planning and inequitable planning for all residents. When was there input from residents on this new route??? This is unfair and unacceptable. Unbelievable!!!!

Enjoying our good ol’ days here. The people are more friendly compared to the DC’s ones. Listed as one of the most livable cities in USA (IMO).

This is City Hall. Old building and poorly maintained. It is pretty on the outside. The fountain is nice when it operates.

Haven't been inside but the outside looks rough and not cool.

It is worth seeing; the whole old town is interesting and cute. I was missing more old ways paved alleys with cobblestones. There are just a little of them, though.

A terrific show! It was entertaining and glitzy without being over the top. All the leads were strong and the band was strong. The sound quality was nice and bravo to the wardrobe team and hair and makeup.

Attended a musical, unbelievable show. Sound was epic lighting brilliant seating a little hard on my skinny bony butt. Such amazingly kind interested helpful folks at the counter and ushers etc. Brilliant safe location. GO NOW! You can’t go wrong with such high class talents available. Stop making excuses GO already.

I was at the little theater of Alexandria last evening to see the play "Lost in Yonkers". The first Act was slow moving for me until the end of the first act. Sometimes, it was hard to hear the youngest member of the cast. I came alive during the second Act of the play, because of the powerful performances of Bella, her mom and younger brother.

I have been getting yearly subscriptions and going to all shows since I moved to Alexandria about three years ago. Love. Love. LOVE. Highly recommend. The shows are great & the volunteers are very friendly and helpful. My favorite DMV theatre, truly!

Have been going to Little Theatre for years. It’s a small venue so every seat is great. They’ve followed Covid protocols in such a good way-they used cardboard cutouts between sets of seats so the theater felt full but no one was sitting next to or right by you. We had “cats” behind us! It’s a comfortable space. The caliber of the performances is terrific. This is community theater and the acting, sets, directing, etc are always very very good. It’s excellent value for dollar. The staff is super helpful. Can’t recommend it enough

Loved the show so much, highly recommend checking out the talented folks here!!!

What a fun community theater. Their productions always seem to please. We have gone for years. If you love community theater this is the place you need to check out.

Nice little place full of historical artifacts. It’s free and there were only few people inside. You are allowed to take pictures. The staff is friendly. There is a lot to learn if you are interested in history! Remember to also visit the historic site, if the weather is nice you can have a picnic in there, there are lots of tables and benches. Pets friendly.

Really nice outdoor exhibits, inside museum had too much to see in the time we alloted so have to go back. Very interesting place!

Found this little park in the middle of the city, not knowing it had so much history. Took a wal around the fort and the canons were in amazing shape. Then I saw the history and how black slaves came here to fight for their freedom. It has a old cemetery , that they ask you to respect.

This is historic site and also a park, the headquarters building is a small museum. There are artifacts and interesting stories about the forts located around the DC area. This is the best preserved civil war era fort in the DC area. They have rebuilt one of the bastian's to the original specifications and armed it with period replica cannons. Admission and parking are free.

Ford Ward Park has a walking path, museum including small gift shop, picnic areas(covered tables can be reserved in advance), some grills and a small historic cemetery. In addition, has an Amphitheater which is part of Virginia State Parks.

Nice little historic stop in the Alexandria area. Museum historian was very informative. Museum is well laid out. Nice quiet place to step back into history.

Cool grounds with some historical signs. The museum packs a lot of cool stuff in a small space.
