National World War II Memorial, Washington DC

Beautiful to see. We chose to visit on the hottest day in July 2019. However learning about what each of the symbols of this monument represents was truly one of the best opportunities given. The Rainbow Pool is inviting, and it is really a lot of fun to stick you feet in and be part of the celebration as the soldiers did with the fountains in Europe once the war was over. I would encourage everyone to stop and take in the beauty of this monument and learn all that you can. My children (ages 10 & 13) weren't bored and found discovering the meaning interesting to learn about.

One of the best memorials I've seen. It's well designed and tasteful, while still maintaining that sobering feel for everything it represents. And if you haven't gone back to experience the monuments at night, I strongly encourage you to do so. The nighttime experience changes the feel of all the monuments and anytime I'm taking out of town friends or family around, we always make sure we stay past sunset.
