The wires aren’t a problem when you zoom 4.4x “DONT TOUCH THE WIRES” is written everywhere, yet people are still taking their chances. Great space, good view, and windy because it is outdoor. Ask the rangers anything you want to know, keep them busy. Better view than Washington...Read More

Don't let the name fool you, the whole museum is just a hallway leading to the elevator that takes you to the clocktower for a view of the city. It's the 3rd highest place to get a look from. The view is fairly obstructed by...Read More

Must visit!! This gives almost the same view as the Monument, considering you have to book the Monument tour at least a month in advance. Old post office is such a great place to visit. Finding the entrance was very challenging and I almost gave up....Read More

Cool place with a stunning 360-degree center view in the heart of DC. The day we went, there was a heavy haze and smog from the Canadian fires, but the views were still amazing. Afterward, I recommend going to The Bazaar by Jose Andres restaurant...Read More

It's a hidden gem in the city. It's on the back of the Waldorf Astoria. Amazing view from the Clock Tower over the whole city. Managed by the National Park Service. They also have stamps for the Ranger book.

What a fun little free gem. The entrance to the museum is around the back of the Waldorf Astoria — it’s a short little hallway with some timeline information that ends at an elevator manned by friendly Park rangers. There are two elevators. The first...Read More
