WATCH YOUR STEP AT NIGHT

By JIm, 04/10/07

Lighting is very poor at night I fell over a granite bench 14" tall and broke my arm . These large pieces of granite need to be better lighted at night. Numerous injuries have occured in the past

Often Overlooked

By DJ, 01/01/07

The FDR memorial right next to the Jefferson Memorial is worth the visit.

Be sure to get the Audio Tour handset and journey through FDRs life with the audio guide.

You will find yourself inspired and full of knowledge afterward.

The Memorial itself is a series of statues and displays in a garden like setting next to the Tidal Pool. A must ...

A bit odd but worth seeing

By MicheleC, 12/15/06

Unlike the conventional memorials, this one is a winding path through FDR's life. I prefer the type of memorial such as the Jefferson but this was interesting. The cherry blossoms and the dogwood were blooming all around it and it is lit up at night. A must see if you are a WWII buff.

The Place Where I said "I Do"

By None Ya!, 11/26/06

I absolutely love the memorial. The views of the Monument and Lincoln Memorial are spectacular. It is just perfect for a late night walk along the water, its open 24-7. Check it Out!!

A Bit Strange

By Ted, 10/06/06

This is a very nice place to go. It's in a bit of an odd place, but it eats up a good bit of time and is very interesting. It feels a bit thrown together, still stop by when in D.C. you'll enjoy it.

By Caspurr, 09/19/06

This is a great place to visit. Its not just about FDR its about the world he lived and served the USA in. I never payed much attention to him in History Class but I learned a ton in that hour.
It's worth the extra walk from Jefferson or Lincoln.

Don't miss this one.

By Jessica, 04/22/06

This was my son's favorite memorial because of all of the water features. This was by far the most interactive memorial. It is a bit out of the way as compared to the rest of the memorials and monuments but worth the long walk or bus ride.

An Oasis for the senses in DC

By Steve T, 09/18/05

The FDR Memeoiral is often overlooked by many. Don't pass it by! The fountains and pools of water drown out the city noise and allow your mind to relax. The landscaping is beautiful. But the most impressive feature is perhaps the writings by FDR inscribed in stone. These words written so long ago are as profoundly true and important today as ...
