great scenery and a peaceful garden to stroll around on a lazy Sun afternoon. Not stroller friendly though - as first timers, it wasnt wise of us to use our stroller. We should have gone with a baby carrier. As the guard pointed out at the entrance, it was difficult to plough through the gravel of the main lane and our access to the most of the wonderful gardens was limited due to steps everywhere.

Best gardens I have ever visited, the whole is not overwhelming which is often the case with extensive gardens. The exquisitely thoughtful design lends itself to layers of revelation as you ramble. I enjoyed every vista and found wonder with every turn. The house and museum are really what all museums should be; fascinating, intelligent, relaxing and edifying.

I love visiting Dumbarton Oaks. The museum is free admission but there is an admission fee to the gardens in the warmer months. But the free museum is definitely worth a visit--stunning collection of Byzantine and Precolumbian artifacts. Its always a treat to stop in even if it is not terribly easy to find. Watch out for their peculiar hours.

Great place! Sooo interesting! The best museum weve ever been, and I have been to lots. Spent 2.5 hours there easily without realizing it. Next time well plan on staying much longer. The 4-D movie was great, too! Love, love, love this place! Definitely worth the money!

As a staff member I can tell you that this isnt only one exceptional organization to work for but also one ravishing oasis of intellectual life, culture and natural beauty. Very much a hidden treasure of a place in every sense of the word.

A place for all moods. Explore or relax. Appreciate Art, History, and/or Nature in any combination in heart of Georgetown. Well worth the afternoon or three.
