Freericksburg National Military Park Reviews

Awesome park and nicely laid out visitors center, well worth a visit to Fredericksburg to see.

Nice battlefield area to visit. Close to downtown Fredericksburg.

This park is a great place to take the family and pets. There's an area there for picnicking and a nice trail to walk.

This area is so rich in history. So much to be learned from the struggles of our ancestors.

There is so much history and learning to be done here, I learn something new every time.

We loved it! Our Ranger Brett was amazing on the tour and was great with our 3 year old who is now a Junior Park Ranger!

Amazing history, full of historic information. Loved the views.

This is a National Park. The visitor's center is a little cramp and the book selection in the book store could benefit from expanding selections a bit beyond the traditional men, guns, and maneuvers genre of history, but I assume that they know their audience well. We took the Sunken Road guided walking tour with a seasonal ranger who also happened to be a grad student in Public History at WVU. She gave a grwat tour that not only explained the ins and outs of the battle but also challenged visitors to think critically about the decisions and strategies of the men who fought there.

Very informative and we'll kept! Keep up the good work preserving history!

Very well done mueseum and walking trails. Lots to look at and learn for all ages.

I love visiting this place with my wife, the views are amazing and it is always so clean!

I'd recommend a tour! The park employees are knowledgeable and very friendly!

Very historical area, wish I had more time to explore.

easy walks through the park. jr ranger book was in order of the walking tour making it easy to complete.

Chock full of history, beautiful walking tors, serene and somber

Great place to walk and lots of great history there

The displays depict life in early colonial America. At the time that we went, there were enactments of actual colonial life going on since it was the peak visitor season in June that year.

No real view of the battlefield. Why go if you can't see anything?

Serene place for a walk, jog or run. Nice scenery.

If you love history you'll love touring the battlefields and museums

Has everything you'd need with the YMCA right there

Awesome place to take a walk and learn some history, take a seat on a bench on the heights and watch military planes cruising by to andrews AFB

Fredericksburg National Battlefield is a beautifully preserved piece of history from the civil way. It's a very enjoyable place to visit and learn about what this country went through during outright civil war. This is a must see if you're in the area.

Downtown historic Fredericksburg is a great place to visit and get a cup of coffee or a bite to eat at many of the restaurants in the vicinity.

A good place to stop and learn about Civil War history. We met a fantastic NPS ranger named Gary when we arrived. He was very helpful and knowledgeable about everything.

This is a gem near downtown Fredericksburg. Very nice visitor center, and friendly, knowledgeable staff. Some excellent exhibits, and places to walk around. (Note: Some of the paths are not wheelchair / stroller accessible - unless you have a jogging stroller with big wheels.) Plenty of parking.

Very educational and informational historic site. And very nicely maintained.

God Bless our fallen soldiers. Confederate and today's military.

An amazing but of history just waiting for you to find

The stories this hallow ground speaks, should be told again and again

Just amazing to be back in history like that. Even though I am not American I thoroughly enjoyed it

Wow!! We didn't spend nearly enough time here. They have done an amazing job keeping a piece of our history here for us to see and reflect on. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend an afternoon not just a couple of hours.

Nice park. Nice exipits. Could use signage og generals andor regiments.

What a great place to stop and learn about one of the South's most famous military person during the Civil War. The park employee had some great insight into Stonewall Jackson.

Great presentation by the guide. Lots of history comes to life here.

Not what it use to be, but still a great place to take the kids.

Very nice place and its like stepping back in time.

It was very nice! There was a reenactor there and she was doing a fabulous job!!

This is a very well-organized historical site. I would highly recommend it but only to those interested in the Civil War and its impact on Fredericksburg.

Ideal National Park for history-buffs. Significant walking among the historic battleground.

Clean. Litter free. Too bad you can't say that for the rest of Fredericksburg VA. There is litter all over the place. People throw beer cans and bottles out of their cars after they drink and drive. Imagine if the state had deposit on cans and bottles. They would keep the cans and bottles in the cars after they finish driving and drinking.

Went for the 2017 Luminaria on Memorial Day weekend. Volunteers placed two luminaries for every stone, and cemetery was open until 11 p.m. The park rangers gave short narratives for some of the soldiers buried there. The place is well maintained and fairly easy to get to. Definitely worth visiting.

Great place to learn about the civil war history of Fredericksburg.

As with most battlefields it is quiet and serine. The history here is evident as you walk down the sunken road and up to the Cemetery. This is a great place to visit for a little history and understanding of what was the cost to both sides in the of taking Fredericksburg

If you are expecting a large area to put together in your mind a civil war battle this is not the place. However, it is nice to say you've been there.

A compact battlefield in Fredericksburg where thousands died. A monument to the hubris of war.

Kids and I got a Junior Ranger Acitivity book from the Rangers and we walked around reading the information. It was very educational. Some things we had to skip to keep moving due to kids getting restless. But overall the kids and I enjoyed it. Kids were wowed about the bullet holes in Innis House. While standing at grave #2864 and reading a story from the activity book, we could have a sense of what the writer was feeling.

no passholder discounts. there is a charge for the movie. Nice little museum display.

Informative exhibits and enthusiastic NPS staff. We really enjoyed the tour.

Very nicely shaded with many interesting monuments & historical markers to read. Not busy. Plenty of parking & picnic tables. Other visitors were friendly. Nice little escape on the outskirts of the busy downtown area.
