National Archives Foundation

There is so much history in this place. It's very interesting to see the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. It is an absolute must-see for anyone appreciating our nation's history as well as the founding fathers who built it.

There are no lines. Don't stand in line. Just walk up to the documents. Be prepared to have your personal space violated constantly

It was awesome getting to show my kiddo the documents that shaped our nation. It’s really nice inside. I was a little bummed that I couldn’t record some video of her reactions to documents, but I understand. I’ll have to show her the photos of me in the rotunda from the days where you could as long as there wasn’t flash.

It was very interesting to see the Declaration of independence, Bill of Rights, and other important historical documents.
On the side note, young kids did not enjoy it at all. It was too boring for them.

It's a wonderful place! They have the Constitution of the United States of America there. The original one! And The Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights! Plus all kinds of other historical documents that were instrumental to the forging of our country and of the expansion of our country such as the Louisiana Purchase agreement. And the Magna Carta of England. Truly a fascinating group of documents and their history. I highly recommend going there and showing these documents to your children.

The National Archives is a fascinating place to visit for anyone interested in history, politics, or government. The archive's collection includes everything from presidential records and Supreme Court decisions to photograph records that are created by the federal government, including presidential papers, military and diplomatic records, and census data.

I personally praise the National Archives for its exemplary customer service and knowledgeable staff, who are always available to assist and guide anyone with their inquiries. The reading rooms are spacious and comfortable, modern facilities.

One of the most significant attractions for visitors is the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, housed in the rotunda called the "American Charters." Being able to see these documents in person is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many people and is often the primary reason for visiting the National Archives.
Their primary goal is preservation and not exhibition, items on display are selected strategically to maximize their historical value.

The institution allows access to some of the nation's most crucial historical documents. Its knowledgeable staff, efficient facilities, and extensive research resources are amazing.

Great place to visit and see historical documents. It would be beneficial to visitors if there was a more organized way to view documents in the Rotunda. Security personnel line you up, tell you the rules, and then lets you in as one large group of people rushing to see the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, and the Constitution. It felt a little Hunger Games-ish. May the odds be ever in your favor!

Seeing the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights in person is the most unforgettable lifetime experience you will have as an American. Highly recommend booking tickets in advanced but worth the trip when visiting D.C.
