Kristen S, Co-op Member Amazing. JE, Co-op Member The Memorial is a great field trip. Stop at the ranger booth, prior to climbing the stairs, and get the info so that kids can participate in the Junior Ranger Program, sponsored by the Park Service. Lots of fun learning the history. Brittany B., Co-op Member 5 Stars. The size, the quotes, the view from the steps...from the massiveness of Lincoln's presence to the small placard that marks where Martin Luther King, Jr spoke to the crowds. I cannot recommend this experience more. Doreen M, Co-op Member Lincoln's statue is larger than life! It will make you feel small. Make sure you keep your eye open for the square where Dr. Martin Luther King gave his famous speech.
