It was a truly wonderful experience. Reasonable prices for entry. We went during a special event weekend the colonial market and fair. It was a great visit, very educational. We enjoyed just walking the grounds at our own leasuire. Be sure an pay attention, you can walk in and look into most buildings on the grounds. If we come back we will definitely make time for a full day, to explore all the attractions. The standard tour was very enjoyable. Be sure and wear comfortable shoes. Also, the grounds are dog friendly, except for the mansion and museum.

There is so much to do here.  I've been to DC many times but usually did not have a car or was not wanting to spend money so I've never been here before.  Let me tell you, you will not regret going here.  You can easily spend all day here.  My wife and I got there at 1pm and left when the museum closed at 6pm rushed through it and we didn't even see the gristmill or distillery!  We could have easily spent 8 hours here.  When you get in make sure to look at the calendar for the day so you can plan when to be where.  If you want to see the weaving for example, it's a walk from the mansion so make sure you're in that area when it starts.  Do not miss out on the museum either.  There are multiple movies and tons of good information there.  In the museum alone expect to spend almost 2 hours.  If you've been to Monticello this place is much bigger, highly highly recommend this as something to do outside of the normal National Mall activities in DC.

My daughter and I went here with a school tour of about 120 eighth-grade kids. Our group really enjoyed this particular tour. The first part was a structured tour of the interior of George Washington's house with it's breathtaking view. For the less-structured, second part of our visit we were able to freely roam around outside and explore the working farm.

This place was very beautiful. There are quite a few docents, volunteers, and staff who really know their stuff and are happy to answer questions too. If you have a chance, bring a little extra money for the in depth tour or the boat ride - both were a lot of fun! The people who work here are super passionate about it and it makes for a great experience.

It was a great experience. It truly is an all day event. The museums are very informative and moving. I would suggest to watch all the videos that are available. They really add to the story of Washington. On a side note, the food court was really nice, but they didn't know anything about food allergies.
