Worth the wait to walk through and see how George Washington lived. Lots of interesting things to see including his entertainment room and bedroom where he died. Talk to the guides for helpful info.

The mansion itself is great to walk through. You will see how Washington was so precise about the decoration and the architecture . The land is very big you need time to go and see every spot.

A lot depends on which tour guide you get. Incredible home - massive on the outside, compact on the inside. Able to go in but was under renovation when we visited in late January 2019.

David Price

The specialty tour is well worth the additional money. Having a guide dedicated to your group and being able to see additional sections of the home was great.

Beautiful location, but they seem uncomfortable on the topic of slavery. Better to fully represent the actual history of this country rather then the glorified fairytale you’ll get here.

Spirit cruises brought us frm DC to the estate and back. Large, comfortable boat with a decent recorded tour of riverfront sites en route. A very pleasant way to go!

James Bowen

Queues are too long to get in. The docents are generally good, but some need to think about their presentation skills, as the started before groups fully arrived or were unintelligible.

It can take you all day to see everything! Great for the entire family!

Ben Gates and his team manipulate events to ensure the President 's birthday celebrations are held at Mount Vernon so they can talk to him alone in National Treasure : Book of Secrets (2007).

My favorite place to visit. Beautiful mansion, rich in history, great tours , gorgeous views

Natalie K

Pay the extra fee for the National Treasure tour , you get to see the basement of the house plus other cool areas and views .

Maureen Costello

If you plan to walk the grounds have on good walking shoes or sneakers . There are steep inclines down to the wharf that are worth experiencing.

Marcel Jeannin II

Great place to spend the day with family learning about the general and our President George Washington .

Bill Day

Food court prices and admission are pure extortion! Admission and lunch cost my family of four $100

Wes Hodge

Amazing bit of history. Take the distillery tour if you have time. It's a few minutes down the road , but worth the trip!

Robert Graham

the 4D movie and the gardens

Jennifer Day

Bring sunscreen and your lunch . Our lunch of sandwiches for 2 adults and 2 young kids was $40.

Kathy Stanton

Cool step back in time!!!

Margaret

The view is unparalleled

Tim S-L

tour is kinda boring the guides could be replaced by a looped recording

Doug Skinner

Take your bike on the trail along the Potomac. Check out George Washington 's wooden teeth. Grab a refreshing drink at the pub when you're done.

Kevin Zhang

Great views here! Sit out in the lawn!

I thought the tour guides were actually rude and quite haughty acting. Was NOT a pleasurable experience. Sorry I wasted my morning doing this tour .
