Washington D.C. Temple & Visitors' Center

Open to the public, the Washington D.C. Temple & Visitors' Center is a beautiful and peaceful place to visit. Visitors can walk through the colorful gardens, sit by the fountains, enjoy the beautiful views, and feel the peace of the grounds.

Take this tour! It was both fun and light-hearted and also deeply soul stirring. When you schedule a tour online, you can customize it for what you want to see and focus on, so it’s perfect for any group. The Visitors’ Center is beautiful and the sister missionaries were friendly and inspiring! We were really moved by the experience.

Brookside Gardens

Reviewed By ITRT

Brookside Gardens is truly an impressive gem located within the Wheaton Regional Park. It is a beautiful and well-maintained place to simply enjoy the beauty of the flowers, trees, gazebos, ponds and water structures. The water structures were not on when we visited. A bonus is the temporary outdoor exhibit honoring those in Montgomery County who died of Covid-19. The walkway has one strand of crystals in memory of each life lost. Another memorial near one of the ponds honors those who lost their lives during the sniper spree in 2002. While we were there, we saw people using the gardens as a backdrop for their wedding and Quinceañera photos. A permit is required to take professional photos. There are two conservatories on the grounds as well as a visitor center/gift shop. There is also a butterfly garden (fee), children’s garden, and greenhouse. Although there seemed to be adequate parking spaces, there was a line of cars waiting for a parking spot. The gardens have both paved and un-paved trails and paths. Most visitors, and some of the trees, wore masks because of Covid restrictions in place. Plan a visit: you will be impressed and glad you did.

Constitution Gardens Park

Beautiful, eco friendly park in Old Town, Gaithersburg

Reviewed By Mommatravelsbig

This place is great for toddlers or ages 2-5. They have a unique sand pit and play area complete with a running water line to mix your sand or make mud pies. It’s large and has benches within site for parents. They also had some short slides and a huge garden area. Street parking
