The interplay between words, thoughts and water make this quiet memorial present the meaning of FDR's presidency-- not just the fact that he was president. Well worth the visit. It's particularly beautiful at night.

I did not enjoy this memorial as much as the others, but I can't say exactly why. If you are limited on time, you may want to bypass this memorial.

I really enjoy this memorial. I find it reflective, educational, and well thought out. I have several family members that use wheelchairs and this memorial is fully accessible and the flow is not disturbed by being in one. I use of trees keeps it quite nice even on the warmest of day. I was there last on a day that topped out at about 100 and was still able to enjoy it. The content is very well laid out and informative.

This was the best monument that I went to in DC, I had the most fun looking at the numerous qoutes on the beautiful stone. The waterfalls were frozen when I went, but still just as gorgeous. I absolutely loved the way it is layed out to depict each of his terms in office. I would recommend this site for ANYONE who travels to the DC area.
