You can spend a full morning here, running around, playing, and exploring all the different exhibits and not get bored. The general store is a personal favorite and my kiddos love putting on an apron, stocking and restocking shelves, and pretending to purchase bread and potatoes. There is also a little interactive farm, one room school house, and recreation of an old timey kitchen that are a big hit with our toddler set. In nicer weather days, they have actual farm demonstrations and lots of tractors and other wheeled contraptions for kids to look at. The cost of a morning of fun? $5 for adults, $3 for kids, and FREE NINETY NINE for the two and under set. You can tire your kiddos out, grab lunch at nearby Ridgetop Coffee (which has an indoor playroom), and have a peaceful car nap home. Truly one of the best hidden gems for families here in Nova.

It is easy to find once you are at Tysons Corner Center and isn't far from the entrance that leads to the Metro. They did a good job on disability access with both word and audio on the interactive guides. The exhibit is also very easy to navigate for those with wheelchairs and other mobility issues. The staff is also very friendly. It is a bit costly for the time it takes which is only about an hour, but is well worthwhile as it contains portraits and stories from her Official Royal Photographer, Anwar Hussain. We even took our favorite stuffed animal, Princess, who is a tribute to Diana which the staff loved.

It's a great introduction to the county, and I'm glad we stopped by - even though we only had time for a short visit!

There are plenty of pinball machines. Some classic arcade games. The flippers on some of the older pinball machines dont hit the ball very hard. My two favorite machines were the Iron Maiden and the Star Wars pinball machines. It was alot of fun. My only negative comment is that with that many pinball machines in the same room, it's hard to hear the sounds of the machine you're playing. I really enjoyed it. We'll be back.

Very nice tour and house of George Marshall. Tickets are not required in advance, and as I wasn't…read moresure when I'd be in town, we just called to confirm they were open for a tour, and that worked out. Just look up the address of where to park (as it's in the back on a different street) and you're good to go. The tour starts off with an informative movie. The house stayed with Marshall's family until it became a public historical site, so all the rooms were just as he left them. The tour guide had a lot of good stories about the private life of Marshall, which was really interesting to hear about. I'm glad the house was preserved, despite it being in rough shape when the last family member sold it. It's a gem of a site. There is a very small gift shop section. The tours are a bit over an hour and totally worth it to visit.

6th Annual Persian Annual Spring Festival - Sizdah Bedar - Bull Run Regional Park - is like a…read morePersian Woodstock. It is all about peace, love for nature, fun and dance and family time. It is very inclusive, which is demonstrated with the beer garden next to the stage where DJ spun lively Persian pop music. When a person asked me to take a picture of their group in the Farsi language I felt as one with them, not looking different, or having a different accent that triggers the loaded question that comes with the cultural baggage, "Where are you from?" Every vendor thanked me so much as if they are the guardians of their culture and I am a VIP guest. It felt like they were so many bridges, not any walls between us. Food escapades started with the Ash Reshteh soup. I worried about it because it looked like they were too many spices and ingredients in the soup - you know what color you get when you use too many colors - mud. However, the soup felt like it was in the layers - so many tastes, not killing but supplementing each other. Cost $5. Next one was the tongue - the menu was in Farsi and lady pointed her tongue when I asked her to give me something that is most popular. I got the tongue in the nice broth and sesame bread. It was so soft that I could cut it with my spoon. It was so good, that I would drive 30 minutes to eat it again. I also had to try Persian tea which was stronger than I anticipated. Cost for both $4. I did get a kebab platter and it was not good looking but it tasted good. Cost $10. At the end the real treat was Persian ice cream with saffron and cream that was so different and so rich and sweet and presence of saffron, the most expensive spice in the World, adds a rich taste and makes you feel good, as long as you do not think about how laborious is to collect delicate saffron threads, plucked from flowers and dried. $5 The biggest compliment came from my 9-year old son on the ride back, who said - eating skittles after this great Persian food is kind of lame. In order to fully enjoy the festival next year, buy tickets in advance, bring friends, blankets and do not come before 1PM. Next event is April 1, 2018.

Phenomenal venue and one that I will come back to again and again for concerts and shows!…read more Parking was extremely easy to get in and out - well-organized, not overly crowded, and opportunities for a steady flow of traffic. It's a short walk to the venue with staff on sight to transport people by golf cart. The staff was friendly and very helpful across the board. The venue is stunning with a beautiful amphitheater with excellent acoustics. While indoor provides a nice balance of coverage from the weather and a nice breeze, outside offers more of a picnic and relaxed vibe. There was not a bad seat in the house and the sound carried well wherever you sit. They have food and drinks available and an added bonus of allowing you to bring in your own food and drinks (great for a pre or during show picnic). The grounds are beautiful and this provides a great scenic backdrop to the show. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

We were very lucky to experience cooler temperatures and low humidity on July 24, 2026. Parking is free, but it can get crowded. Bottled water is allowed inside the pavilion (covered seats near the stage), but food is prohibited there. On the picnic lawn, water and food are allowed. It's wonderful to enjoy a live music performance here in the summer. However, one downside is the lack of air conditioning in the pavilion. If it's a hot, muggy summer evening, be sure to dress appropriately. In northern Virginia, we are blessed to have this national park to hear and see stellar performances by world-class musicians and artists!
