This memorial is truly an iconic location. The views of the National Mall, the Capitol and other memorials, such as the Jefferson Memorial are stunning. From this vantage point you can walk eat along the Mall and visit the Vietnam Memorial, The WWII memorial and the Washington Monument. Farther along your walk you can visit numerous Smithsonian Museums which wold appeal to every member of your family. The common denominator to all of this is Walking. This is an all day - and sometimes an all evening "Stroll". Wear very comfortable shoes.
