What travellers are saying
- JoeNathan9249Saint Paul, MN6,062 contributionsLots of lovely, unusual and varied sculptures - very fun to walk through this place. We were here in November, 2023. It's quite close to the mall, free to walk through and has plenty of benches.
Strongly recommended.Written November 20, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Only down side I'd say is the amount of seating but we didn't have a problem at 7pm. Will return.Written October 29, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- ktbeenthere2015New York City, NY258 contributionsChecking out the Eastern Market area was rewarding on a beautiful day. Not necessarily for first timers to DC, but definitely a neighborhood worth checking out after you have seen the main 5-star attractions. A nice neighborhood with ample photographic opportunities. After arriving, I noticed a 16 stop walking tour, called Tour of Duty: Barracks Row Heritage Trail, signposted and followed it. As a matter of fact , on the culturaltourismdc website, you can find a number of neighborhood walks to download. I’m going to use them to explore other neighborhoods on future visits. The market building is beautiful and we are fortunate it was saved. No souvenirs inside but several butchers, vegetable stands, seafood, and a bakery all sell their goods.Written March 18, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- cjdotheworldSmithfield, VA1,366 contributionsThere are a number of shops, some below street level. The guys dishing our the product are colorful characters. Fun visit.Written May 2, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Sonya4 contributionsIt's something to do.
It's certainly unique & colorful, however, not the most entertaining or interactive. I honestly expected it to be larger (one large room w/ digital art) maybe 5-7 other small areas with some interacting. "Beyond the light" was more "boring" knowledge based reading than digital art- to me. I personally prefer the "Otherworld" (Ohio) style. To each his own. I wouldn't personally do it again.Written October 2, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Thus, I am always on the lookout for safe, enjoyable parts of D.C. to walk around in without having to worry as much about crime. CityCenter truly delivers every time! I love eating at Tatte or just chilling by all the high-end stores my broke self can't afford, like Dior and all that jazz. It's also really close to the Metro Center station!Written July 10, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kathryn W5 contributionsMy husband and I really enjoyed the double Kayak.The views were spectacular with the leaves changing. We took Metro in from NW DC and walked a little way so we did not have a place to put our things. Lockers would have been nice but since they didn't have that we were offered a waterproof bag to put cell phones inside.Written October 31, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Cycle2eatBaltimore, MD135 contributionsWe visited this musuem during the January 2019 government shutdown-when the Smithsonians were closed and we didn't visit our usual haunts in DC. We were lucky-under other circumstances we would have missed this smaller, lovely museum. There was a wonderful special exhibit "Amazonagramas" by Roberto Huarcaya on the first floor and several permanent collections by 20th century artists on the upper level. We were able to leisurely and thoroughly enjoy the artists and architecture.Written February 13, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Travel_Girl_ReviewsLondon, UK505 contributionsI wouldn’t make an effort to return here in a hurry.
There are a few nice stalls to visit but most of the market has cheap rip-off’s and clothes.
Better to walk in into Georgetown to be honestWritten June 3, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Surprised to see so many mixed-media works.Written October 22, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Faience44Ottawa, Canada989 contributionsThis is a DC institution with a huge selection of books as well as an excellent cafe serving fresh food and a variety of coffee. I could easily have spent the entire day here.Written November 1, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- ruthpdxLake Oswego, OR89 contributionsThis store, housed in an old historic home, is just a short walk from the Anacostia Community Museum. It houses art made by people from all over the world who are of African decent. The items aRe for sale and proceeds go to support women's industries in impoverished countries.Written June 9, 2013This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- cwhitfield525Grand Rapids, MI5 contributionsI'm glad I took the time to visit this shop while visiting Washington DC. There are a lot of
authenic gems here from Africa. Wonderful statues, jewelery and fabric. This shop is a hidden gem. Don't miss it!Written September 13, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TheTonyTravellerLondon, UK432 contributionsFab farmers market. Who says North Americans have a poor food culture - if you know where to look - not Safeway nor Albertsons - you find somewhere like this!
Amazing fresh produce - fruit, veg, flowers, meat, fish, eggs, dairy, bakery and the rest! Wonderful to visit in October with fat luscious tomatoes, peppers bursting with colour and all the types of squash you need for Halloween!Written October 17, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
