To see the massiveness of this building is awe inspiring. To view the new stonework that replaced the damaged area of the 9-11 attack was very emotional for a lot of us.

Didn't like being told that due to security measures, photos were not permitted. Fascinating to see the many immaculately presented uniformed personnel.

Toured on a Saturday with our grandson who works there. Very impressive building but devoid of decoration until you get to the offices of the Heads of the Departments. Still very interesting to see.

We never really stopped to visit and only drove by its perimeter on our way to the Arlington Cemetery but it was breath-taking just driving by and seeing it visually.

We pre-booked this before we left for the USA and you absolutely must as they will not let you book at the gate. We loved it. From the minute you get there and start seeing the 'no photo' signs and the uniformed officers you start to feel excited. You obviously don't get to see anything important but that feeling of...

When we got there with my 76 year old grandmother about 30 minutes early, they told us to wait outside, so we did...until police arrived to tell us we couldn't stand there, either...to go wait elsewhere, so we did....
