The absolute best celebration of Independence Day. You can make a whole day event out of it or go for the evening and experience a true celebration that goes beyond fireworks. The reading of the Declaration of Independence, The Pledge of Allegiance led by the kids, the presenting of the military flags, and the National Anthem with an amazing fireworks display. A great way to teach and remind your kids what the 4th of July is about.
We had a fabulous time there on July 4th. It was really hot. There were reenactments, lectures by Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and many others. Many food trucks for lunch. Historical building examples and lots of history available.
Great historical information about the U.S. Tulip festival was nice! We were eager to go. Should have been a little more patient since it was the first weekend it was open. Not a lot of flowers to see yet. If you want to see more, wait until 2nd or 3rd weekend (unless you are local, then go every weekend). Was soggy due to lots of rain the past month. Wear boots or sneakers you don’t mind getting muddy.
The Tulip Festival was fantastic! We've been on tours of the entire grounds. Great replicas of historical building from Virginia, DC and Philadelphia. Outstanding new Veterans Memorial building. If you enjoy history, this place is a must see!!!
