The grounds are beautiful. There is plenty of space to walk around and explore. The mansion overlooks the Potomac river. The views are spectacular. There are tour guides within the grounds that can give you a quick history lesson. This is a great tourist visit for anyone who enjoys colonial history.

Mount Vernon is a really fantastic place for individuals, couples or families. There is a LOT to do and see; it's easy to spend the better part of the day exploring. You can buy tickets to just the grounds, which is huge and includes the gardens, farm, barns, tombs, scenic views over the Potomac, slave quarters, museum, and education center. There are also gift shops, a restaurant (reviewed separately), a distillery, and a small food court. Tickets to tour the mansion are bought separately. Quick tip: if it says they are sold out online for the mansion, ask when you arrive. We did and got in!nIt's really beautiful and there is much to learn. A great excursion.

I have been to Mount Vernon once before, but myself. It was a holy experience. Washington is my hero. I wanted my wife and children to see it with their own eyes. It took 2 years, but were finally able to go this week. We ran into construction coming into D.C. and missed our mansion tour by 15 minutes. Upon arrival to the visitors center, we were just happy to tour the grounds, museum, stores, and pay our respects at the tomb. However, after viewing our online passes, the staff offered us brand new mansion passes for no additional cost. There was only one other family and a few stragglers, so we had the whole estate/ museum/ mansion to ourselves. And, as long as we didn't use a flash, they told us we were allowed to take pictures inside the mansion. It was an absolutely wonderful and spiritual experience. Thank you Mount Vernon.

Great place to learn a bunch about American history. I have been here multiple times and it never gets old. If you are traveling with family it’s a good place to visit. Perhaps you are on a work trip... I would stop here as well. The location is easy to get to and if you Uber there is always someone to pick you up.
