“Crowded, overrated, and ugly from up close.” –Emma F., Alpharetta, Georgia
“I want to tell you that I am not some nature hating guy. I take my kids hiking. I rock climb. The problem with the place is that it is dull. [But] If you are in the area for some reason it is worth dropping by.” — Kahlil G. Bethesda, Maryland
“Yes, it looks great at night but put some lights up on that abandoned GM Assembly Plant in Detroit and you’d have about the same thing without any long visitor lines.” — Marqus R., Ft. Lauderdale, Florida
“It’s a wall with a bunch of names on it. I mean NO disrespect but spice it up a bit. It’s kinda boring.” –Gina M., Philadelphia
“As a proud American I wanted to love this, but was grossly underwhelmed…Old Lady Liberty is just that…old.” — Nicholas H., San Francisco
“Each to their own I guess, but paintings and sculptures just hold little or no interest for me.” — Andy, Nottingham, UK

“As another reviewer stated in one word, this National Park is a “cluster[expletive].” I couldn’t agree more.” — Misty P., Kapolei, Hawaii

“I visited about 5 of the [Smithsonian] museums and barely LEARNED anything. It was more of an exhibit of seeing “stuff” added with 1-2 sentences written in a 3 graders level. I understand a lot of foreigners come here but I feel like it should still provide some level of sophistication.” — Andrew W., Atlanta
“As amazing as the views are it is really kind of boring. Every 500 feet a new vantage point of the same thing: a really big hole in the ground…What would [be] nice is segway rentals.” — Brad M., Englewood, Colorado
“One of the courses literally made me gag but in NOMA, spitting into your napkin would be [like a] crime so I swallowed it like a bitter pill.” <br />– Debbie C. of Arcadia, California.
