I don't get it. Impressive. But I don't get it. It's a very nice monument and if you're walking in the national mall you need to stop and look at it. It's kinda hard to miss anyway. I don't think it's worth the wait to go inside because it's more impressive from the outside.

Great view!! You need about 1 hrs for this because they divide by groups and it takes so.e time to move everybody. Also, make sure to book your tickets in advance. If you don't have tickets, you can get some for some day but they will open office at 845 each day and they have only a certain amount of tickets for the day and line starts around 7:30am.

_5/5 Stars: A Breathtaking View from the Heart of the Nation - Washington Monument Review_ My visit to the Washington Monument was an unforgettable experience that offered a unique perspective on the nation's capital. This iconic landmark, honoring the first president of the United States, is a must-visit attraction in Washington D.C. As I approached the monument, I was struck by its sheer scale and grandeur. The 555-foot-tall obelisk, designed by Robert Mills, is an impressive feat of engineering and architecture. The monument's sleek, marble exterior glistens in the sunlight, making it a stunning addition to the National Mall. The elevator ride to the top was quick and smooth, offering a glimpse into the monument's intricate stonework and engineering. As I stepped out onto the observation deck, I was awestruck by the breathtaking 360-degree view of the city. The panoramic vista stretches from the Lincoln Memorial to the Capitol Building, with the Potomac River and the Virginia skyline visible in the distance. The viewing deck is equipped with informative displays and telescopes, providing a deeper understanding of the monument's history and significance. I spent several minutes taking in the stunning views, snapping photos, and reflecting on the importance of this national landmark. In conclusion, the Washington Monument is an absolute must-visit attraction in Washington D.C. The monument's sheer scale, stunning architecture, and breathtaking views make it an unforgettable experience. _Rating Breakdown:_ - Historical Significance: 5/5 - Architectural Beauty: 5/5 - Views and Observation Deck: 5/5 - Overall Experience: 5/5 _Recommendation:_ Book your tickets in advance to ensure a timed entry, as wait times can be significant. Be prepared for security checks and limited elevator capacity. Consider visiting at sunrise or sunset for a truly unforgettable experience.

Truly a highlight of our visit. Beautiful views from the top and friendly rangers and interesting history, if that’s your thing. We ordered tickets a month in advance via the website. Do not skip this step as onsite tickets are very limited. Regardless, great views from the bottom, but you’ll enjoy the top much more. We arrived a few minutes early, but it took about 15-20 minutes before we took the elevator to the top. You need only about 15 minutes inside so allow about 45 minutes total.

Although it is possible to get tickets the same day, you need to be there at 8:30 am to have a chance. It is best to secure tickets 30 days in advance. Make sure you read the information concerning items not permitted through the security check point. They include aresols, nail files, any type of weapon, among other things. The park rangers are very knowledgeable and available to answer any questions. The views are breathtaking.
