Outdoor Sculpture - Walking Tour of Washington DC |
Do I have to purchase tickets in advance?
It's up to you. If you want to pay for your walk via credit card, the only way to do so is by purchasing in advance. If you prefer to pay cash, however, you are always welcome to just show up without an advance purchase. Either way we'd love to have you!
Where does this walk end?
The walking tour concludes at the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden, located at the intersection of 7th Street and Constitution Avenue, N.W.
What sights do we see on the walk?
A “temple” to an egotistical dentist, two anonymous chess players, the National Gallery of Art East Building, a pair of sculptures that embody the Art Deco movement of the 1930s, and the National Gallery Sculpture Garden are some of the sights seen on this walking tour.
How long is the walk and how fast do we go?
The walk is approximately 3/4 of a mile in length and lasts two hours. We walk at a steady place over mostly level terrain.
Is this walk suitable for children?
No. Young children would not enjoy this walking tour.
I am bringing an infant/toddler. Do I need to purchase a ticket for him or her?
No. Tickets are not required for children ages 3 and younger.
What happens if it rains?
Walks take place rain or shine. Dress appropriately for the day's forecasted weather conditions. Remember to bring water, sunglasses, and sunscreen on warm, sunny days.
Will I be able to shop and buy souvenirs during the walk?
No. But your guide will be happy to point you in the right direction after the tour.
Is the walk wheelchair and/or stroller accessible?
Yes. Most of our walking tours are accessible for both wheelchairs and strollers.
Are restrooms available on the walk?
No. Restrooms are not available during the walking tour. Be sure to use the facilities prior to arriving for the walk.
Can I bring my dog on the tour?
No. Unfortunately, we cannot allow animals other than service dogs to attend our walks.
Are the walks only offered in English?
Yes. Washington Walks are only offered in English.
Can I bring a camera?
Yes. There are a lot of great photo opportunities along the way!
What is a Washington Walkabout card?
A Washington Walkabout card is a type of reward program. You pay for four walks up front and present your card at every walk and then you get the fifth one free. You can purchase a Walkabout card from a Washington Walks guide at beginning of any walk. Each card is $30, if you purchase tickets for your first walk in advance online (otherwise it's $40, if you pay on the spot). Cards do not expire and can be used by one individual only. After you’ve taken your five walks, return the card to Washington Walks and you’ll be eligible for the Washington Walks-a-Thon Award given at the end of the walking tour season.
Are gift certificates available?
Yes. For details, please contact Washington Walks by clicking on the "Contact this Seller" link.
Can I book a private or a group tour?
Yes. Private walks are available, although groups often decide to attend the public walk. For one thing, it is often less expensive; second, part of the fun of our walking tours is interacting with those who attend the public walk. If you are interested in booking a private walk, contact Washington Walks by clicking on the “Contact this Seller” link.
