Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial

Address: 1964 Independence Ave SW, Washington, DC 20003, USA

Park

“A beautiful memorial with all the quotes of Martin Luther King Jr. Engraved on the walls. They have atall statue of him which over looks the lake. This place is open 24 hours and anyone can walk in. There is no entry fees. We went there around 2:00am and the place still had a handful of people moving around. It's better to go a little later to avoid the rush. They have electric bikes which can be rented but the process to register for it is a little long.”

World War II Memorial

Address: 1750 Independence Ave SW, Washington, DC 20024, USA

Park

“Excellent memorial! It is hard to honor an event that spans years and has people from every state and protectorate, but this memorial did a wonderful job in representing such a pivotal event. It was inspirational and, though not a 'moving' experience, its round design embraces the visitor and the quotes are uplifiting, helping us to understand the significance of this war. The fountains are beautiful and well situated and there is a great view of the Lincoln Monument in the distance. Turn and you will have an incredible, clear view of the Washington Monument on the Eastern side of this WWII Memorial. The best part, for me, were the smaller relief sculptures in the walls depicting various types of soldiers, war scenes and life on the home front. Take the time to look at each of these!”

Lincoln Memorial

Address: 2 Lincoln Memorial Cir NW, Washington, DC 20037, USA

Park

“This was on my "Must see in DC" list, for obvious reasons. Civil Rights Icon, historic figure & monument. Standing next to the actual Lincoln Memorial is surreal. It makes you feel small, literally & figuratively, because the marble monument, much like the man himself, is ginormous. Awe-inspiring, leave with your jaw open AWESOME. The Lincoln Memorial is a great place to witness history. Beautiful Statue of our Former President Lincoln sitting in his chair. There was a nice place to eat at as well. The whole experience was good to me.”
