Educational Visits In Washington

Other Study Visits

  • The Pentagon
    The Pentagon welcomes over 100,000 visitors annually and student groups can take guided tours, which last approximately 60 minutes and give a valuable insight into the working of what is effectively a city within a city. The Pentagon is located approximately four miles outside the centre of Washington and can be easily reached by Metro. If you wish to visit the Pentagon you must apply directly to the British Embassy.
  • Supreme Court
    Court sessions are open between October and April on a first come first served basis, which can be difficult to access if you are in a group. We recommend taking a look around the ground floor and first floor areas of the building that are open to visitors. You’ll find a range of exhibitions covering History, Art and stories of legal legislation. In addition there is a free visitors film that runs throughout the day.
  • National Air & Space Museum
    The Smithsonian Institution's National Air & Space Museum is located centrally on the National Mall and has free entry. Highlights include the original Wright Brother’s ‘Spirit of St Louis’ flyer and the Apollo 11 command module.  This is an ideal visit to support Cold War studies, with a gallery dedicated to telling the story of the Space Race.

Other Cultural Visits

  • National Portrait Gallery
    Located in the Smithsonian, the National Portrait Gallery tells the story of those who have shaped the culture of America through it's rich history. It houses thousands of pieces of artwork and plays home to numerous fascinating and diverse exhibitions, which encapsulate the diversity and richness of America's culture and story.
