I really liked this one. It makes a change from all the Greco-Roman style monuments. The quotes are well chosen and make you think. The statue itself is well done, though of course his dog steals the show! I most liked the waterfalls. A sign explained that the seeming messiness of them reflects the Cold War and the fact that it was messy too, but it kind of worked. It sounds crazy, but I know what that means. What stayed most with me though was the quote - “I hate war.” Indeed so.

The Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial is dedicated as the name suggests to the 32nd president of the United States Franklin Delano Roosevelt. It is very original and definitely worth seeing. It was dedicated in 1997 by president Bill Clinton. It is really impressive, consists of various sculptures, water and is quite big in space as it is divided into 4 spaces devoted to his different periods of office which lasted 12 years. It also as the only one shows a First Lady, as there is a statue of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt next to UN emblem, which honors her involvement in UN. In the Memorial you can see for example Franklin Delano Roosevelt with his dog Fala, there are also scenes from the Great Depression. There is also braille writing available for visitors. The Memorial is situated 13 min walking from the Lincoln Memorial, 20 min from the Washington Monument.

While I might not hold FDRs legacy in as much esteem as some, I do hold this memorial in highest esteem. It is beautifully architected, exceptionally well laid out, and wonderfully executed. The cool thing is that this memorial is not a single statue or obelisk, but an entire walkable story of an important legacy, artistically presented.

Came across this while going around the Tidal Basin, visiting the Lincoln, Jefferson and MLK memorials. This is a beautiful, and relaxing spot. It has different sections to wander between and probably doesn’t get crowded. There are some water features that I found serene. Also, there are restroom facilities, which is always helpful if you’re spending much time in this area.

This was part of my Washington Sights at Night tour, I found this memorial fascinating. I wanted to go back during the daytime but ran out of time during my trip. Lots of great quotes and pretty fountains and landscaping.

The Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial is a memorial along the Tidal Basin walk which is dedicated to the late President, FDR. He helped America face a get through both the Great Depression and World War 2. I highly recommend visiting this outdoor, beautiful memorial.

Out of all the memorials I have seen this one is by the far the best. The layout, the segments, the statues, the quotes, the water, the setting. The information. It just blew my mind. If you only have time to visit 1 memorial make it this one. It is not grandeousou like dome other monuments, and in my opinion that's what makes it the best. It's as if Roosevelt commissioned it himself and said "keep it accessible for every person, and keep it real"

This Memorial is not like the others, but instead a winding walkways through 4 terms of office. I really enjoy the design of the memorial and how you travel through his life and World War II. I think this may be the future of memorials, almost interactive in it's flow and construction. Of course, FDR is in a very small class of leaders who had such a tenure during one of the most tumultuous times in history.

One of the most beautiful and interesting memorials we visited in DC. It is sectioned by 4 terms and we went wrong way (started on the end of the fourth term), but once we figured it out it made sense. Its a beautiful memorial to various stages of his career and that part of history
