Stunning! My daughter is active duty at the Air Force Academy, so we were able to get on base and walk around. Architecture is amazing! We were there at dusk and the shadows played with all the unique features - lions, dolphins, sprites and even the prow of a fictional boat come out of the granite rooflines. So beautiful! A word of caution - it literally took us OVER AND HOUR to find a parking space on campus. If you are are able to park in Annapolis at the garages and walk on (through Gate 1) do so.

Touring a naval academy would not usually be my first choice to do, but I was pleasantly surprised how beautiful it was. I like all the things mentioned in previous reviews. But I was especially enamored with the handful of homes on the “captains row”. The architecture was beautiful and all the neat details like the house numbers on the ball lights in the center of each porch. It looked like a movie set. Don’t miss it on your tour!!!

We enjoyed the Naval Academy. We took the 90 minute walking tour which was very informative. We also happened to be there during graduation week so we saw the Blue Angels perform! Annapolis is a great vacation!

The U.S. Naval Academy should be on everyone's list when visiting the Annapolis area. We took a 10:30 tour and were so glad we did. One may purchase tickets on line; however, our group of 8 was easily accommodated on a Saturday morning. I recommend watching the video before your tour for some background information and to learn about the rigorous program at the academy. Our guide was interesting and a wealth of knowledge. The campus is beautiful and the granite buildings are well kept inside and out. The chapel is stunning, and the lovely grounds are immaculate.

We loved exploring the Naval Academy. We reserved a walking tour through the visitors center on campus. It was a nice, very informative tour. Note that if you do not have a military ID or a handicap placard you will not be able to park on campus. Street parking is minimal area and you have to pay by app. We had lunch on campus at The Alley on campus and it was delicious and a lovely place to eat.

Better than we anticipated! We walked downtown area to the gate and went through security. There is a museum and gift shop right after security. We then walked around the campus the best we could around rain downpours. It was exciting to see cadets doing their thing. We got to see some of the football team doing warmups on a field. Just a real American experience and proud they serve our country. Our 16 yo daughter was with us and we talked about endless opportunities people can have by joining the Navy.

Wonderful tour. We recommend taking the riding tour ( over sized golf cart car) . Very informative. Makes you feel in awe of the young men and women who make yhe commitment to our country.

The fourth time we have visited and experienced something different. Excellent students milling about, asking us how we were faring! Stand up kids doing stand up study. The Alley was incredible and gift store...support our kids fighting for us!
