I didn't even know this memorial existed until a friend of mind told me it was her favorite memorial in DC and it was a must see. It is off the beaten path from the other memorials, but it is well worth the detour and the extra steps. I think this is one of the largest presidential memorials and the... More

This memorial stretches out along the tidal basin between the Dr. King and Jefferson Memorial. It is a collection of waterfalls and walls engraved with quotes.

This memorial may do more to that end than any other to any individual in town (the King and Jefferson come close). A must stop, for as long as you can afford, when walking around the Tidal Basin. Make the time; this is one of the architects of your modern world.

Very large memorial. Well worth visiting, but if you want to take it all in plan at least an hour because it is very large. The man was elected to four terms.

Beautifully designed outdoor spaces that evoke major eras of Roosevelt's life and times. Great for visitors on wheels/wheelchairs/scooters. Combine it with MLK and Lincoln mMemorials, Jefferson with a little more distance around the Tidal Basin.

Its really large, with some cool water features. You won't learn a lot from the memorial, but its really well done and kept up well
