The park may be small but well worth the trip We did not take the trolley tour but walked the same route as the trolley. Each stop along the paths was well-marked with stunning views. The highlight was Washington Headquarters and the Park Ranger whose insight into living conditions, people, and daily life was informative without being dull or overwhelming.

The park is well maintained and offers a safe 360° driving route across its outer borders, as well as several trails for pedestrians and cyclists. Even in harsh winter (December), this was beautiful, I can only imagine what it must be like in summer or spring. We didn’t need to pay to enter or drive around, although I suspect there are paid tours available.

My second visit and my son's first visit. A real revolutionary war buff could spend a full day or more exploring. Great place just to walk and enjoy a beautiful part of our nation's history.

The visitor center video is worth the time to watch and get the background of what happened here and why it was significant for a new nation. The driving tour covers alot of area. Note some places are only open on the weekend now during the off season.

We were lucky enough to tour the park last year on a trip back home to PA as I had never been here despite growing up in PA. We stopped at the Visitor Center to grab a map and we did a self-guided driving tour, which allowed us to stop and see all of the sites in the park and go at our own pace. It's quite a large historical park and it was very interesting to learn more about what these people went through during the winter of 1777-1778. We got lucky and came on a beautiful day and it was wonderful to just walk around and learn history. We loved coming here and would recommend this park to anyone who loves American history!

We arrived earlier than we thought so we got to spend a little time at Valley Forge for two days. The first day we watched the movie and bought some items at the gift shop. We had tickets for the trolley ride on the second day and really enjoyed that. The guide was excellent and the rangers at the Potts House were interesting to listen to. It was just so interesting to see all the things I've been reading about for months and years.

My sister and I stopped by, being Rev War fans. Valley Forge is very well done! We drove as we didn't have much time, but it's laid out such that someone wanting to walk or bike can also easily get around. The house Washington stayed in still stands and is absolutely worth the visit. When you go to visit it, you don't have to take the long walkway if you don't want to. Go down to the end of the train station and there's some stairs that will drastically shorten your walk.

My husband and I brought our bicycles and had a wonderful day riding around Valley Forge. The biking/walking is all off road and we had a wonderful time seeing the beautiful pastoral landscape and visiting Washington's Headquarters and the chapel. It seems that the park is much loved by the locals. There were lots of people walking their dogs and flying kites.

I had low expectations because there was no actual fighting that took place here, but I was pleasantly surprised how fascinating this all was. The park is beautiful and well maintained and has so much history. We did the trolley tour and I think that was the best way to see and learn because the park is so massive. Afterwards we grabbed a map from the visitor center and went back and visited places we either didn’t get off the trolley for or wanted to see more of. We ended up being there about half a day for a relaxing and educational time well spent.

Our time at the National Historical Park was well spent. We viewed the interpretive museum, watched the informative movie, and dutifully spent money in the gift shop (tee shirt for grandson). I have a friend who informed me that he had an ancestor at Valley Forge, so I looked him up on the on-line muster roll, and found him. The process was straight forward and easy. My friend was overjoyed that he is the descendant of a Revolutionary War Veteran. Afterward, we drove around the park. The highlight of the driving tour was the actual house that Washington used for his headquarters. It's layout or rooms and furnishings were historically accurate. The Ranger at the headquarters was very courteous and a wealth of information. We very much enjoyed our half-day visit.
