You have all the opinions of real people who purchased the products and services of Supreme Court of the United States (Tourist Attraction) in the state of Maryland.
Right now the business gets a score of 4.0 out of 5 and that rating was based on 686 reviews.
As you can read, its rating is positive, and it is founded on a high number of feddbacks, so we may say that the rating is very accurate. If there are many people who bothered to evaluate when they've done well with the business, is that it works.
As you know, we don't usually bother to put reviews when these are correct and we usually do it only if we've had a problem or issue...
This Tourist Attraction is included in the category of Federal courthouse.
Cyber drink driving and I take the wrong direction bumping into wrong building... At least SCOTUS can't give me a cyber drink driving ticket .... As I am looking for a cyber bar, called the Assange to try the new cyber beer called CIA whistle blower
Love this place. Presidential nominations with a confirmation by the Senate? Interpreting the Constitution in the Postmodernist Age? Sign me up baby!!!
it takes a long ass time for them to be able to deliver a decision they made in October
I ok. fon me
The supreme court supports school shootings. The solution to school shootings is after school if anyone has a problem please protest using free speech. Why is the court banning the solution? Scott cofer
Free tour was very neat and there was plenty to see even as someone who isn't a law buff. The inside of the building is impressive, as is descending the outer stairs.
Legalize marijuana across the board. Stop imprisoning people and ruining lives over it. The time is now to end camnabis prohibition!! Legalize it Don’t criticize it !!!
It was just like that episode of Law&Order. Walking down the pearlescent staircase, when suddenly I heard a "DUH DUH!" from out of nowhere. Very Surreal. 10/10
If you're planning to see an argument - don't. You basically have to camp the night before as they only let 50 people in for the first argument (which they don't tell you on the website). If you're #51 or #52 in line you MIGHT make it into the second argument, but that means you'll be waiting in line until 11:15am. I showed up at 5:40am and was #57. There is very little to no communication with when and how many people they let in. I did not make it in. Wasted the whole morning. Even if I had made it in, I don't think it would have been worth waiting 5.5 hours in the cold. Crazy how it's 2019 and the system to see our Supreme Court in action is "wait in line for five hours and we'll only let 50 people in." Great system we've got (sarcasm).
Nothing against the justices or our system of law, but unless you are really into legal history or are involved in a case they are hearing, you can skip this one and just enjoy the architecture from the outside. The visitor center features text heavy displays and cases with antique legal apparel and letters. It's says you need to be quiet, but there were plenty of yelling children. You may need to wait outside to go in, so bring your sunglasses because the marble is super white and reflective. They seriously must pressure wash this constantly. There was a tour, so I only got to see the courtroom from the door. It's what you would expect. Get the legal professional in your life a set of Supreme Court Christmas ornaments from the past 10 years or a novelty foam gavel in the gift shop. Grab a bite at the cafeteria or from the only vending machine in the area.
Look out for Supreme Court Rule 39.8 (and in Myanmar, look out for that Aung Sun Su Chi!)!
beautiful architecture
Nice building and beautiful interior it may look dark in dingy but there is marble everywhere including the stairs in floor. They have a gift shop that is down a corner in a small room and it was decent, they also have a cafe but it’s very small. The tour wasn’t that great it’s more of like they are teaching you about it you can’t even get into where the judge sits you can only sit in the visitors area but the room was big.
Beautiful building, amazing architecture. Easy to get in to and make your way around on your own time.
We really enjoyed our short 45' visit. We started with the video, which goes in a loop on two rooms and then followed it by one of the docent lectures inside the Supreme Court Room. The times of the lectures can be found on the top floor, where the line starts forming. You cannot take pictures inside the room but you can get a good picture just from the outside, zooming in. Spoiler alert: It's quite small, but the ceilings are very high.
It’s cool
This place sucks, you’re better off going to the stamp museum.
The ratification of the United States Constitution established the Supreme Court in 1789. Its powers are detailed in Article Three of the Constitution. The Supreme Court was the only court specifically established by the Constitution while all other federal courts were created by Congress. Congress is also responsible for conferring the title of "justice" to its members, who are known to scold lawyers for inaccurately referring to them as "judge", even though it is the term used in the Constitution. The Court first convened on February 2, 1790,with six judges where only five of its six initial positions were filled. According to historian Fergus Bordewich, in its first session: "[T]he Supreme Court convened for the first time at the Royal Exchange Building on Broad Street, a few steps from Federal Hall. Symbolically, the moment was pregnant with promise for the republic, this birth of a new national institution whose future power, admittedly, still existed only in the eyes and minds of just a few visionary Americans. Impressively bewigged and swathed in their robes of office, Chief Justice John Jay and three associate justices — William Cushing of Massachusetts, James Wilson of Pennsylvania, and John Blair of Virginia — sat augustly before a throng of spectators and waited for something to happen. Nothing did. They had no cases to consider. After a week of inactivity, they adjourned until September, and everyone went home." The sixth member, James, was not confirmed until May 12, 1790. Because the full Court had only six members, every decision that it made by a majority was also made by two-thirds (voting four to two). However, Congress has always allowed less than the Court's full membership to make decisions, starting with a quorum of four justices in 1789.The Supreme Court first met on February 1, 1790, at the Merchants' Exchange Building in New York City. When Philadelphia became the capital, the Court met briefly in Independence Hall before settling in Old City Hall from 1791 until 1800. After the government moved to Washington, D.C., the Court occupied various spaces in the United States Capitol building until 1935, when it moved into its own purpose-built home. The four-story building was designed by cass gilbert in a classical style sympathetic to the surrounding buildings of the Capitol and Library of Congress, and is clad in marble. The building includes the courtroom, justices' chambers, an extensive law library, various meeting spaces, and auxiliary services including a gymnasium. The Supreme Court building is within the ambit of the Architect of the Capitol, but maintains its own police force separate from the Capitol Police. Located across First Street from the United States Capitol at One First Street NE and Maryland Avenue, the building is open to the public from 9 am to 4:30 pm weekdays but closed on weekends and holidays.Visitors may not tour the actual courtroom unaccompanied. There is a cafeteria, a gift shop, exhibits, and a half-hour informational film.When the Court is not in session, lectures about the courtroom are held hourly from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm and reservations are not necessary.When the Court is in session the public may attend oral arguments, which are held twice each morning (and sometimes afternoons) on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays in two-week intervals from October through late April, with breaks during December and February. Visitors are seated on a first-come first-served basis. One estimate is there are about 250 seats available.The number of open seats varies from case to case; for important cases, some visitors arrive the day before and wait through the night. From mid-May until the end of June, the court releases orders and opinions beginning at 10 am, and these 15 to 30-minute sessions are open to the public on a similar basis. Supreme Court Police are available to answer questions.
Beautiful architecture simply amazing when lit at night.
Don't think about visiting this place on sunday. It's closed and there's nothing interesting outside but the building. Keep in mind that the cafeteria service is available on weekdays 'till 4pm
An institution for the ages. No we cannot always agree with all their decisions or reasons, but they work very well together across ideological lines, the justices ask some great questions, and they set precedents for American life. Once they decide a case, that's it. I mean yes God is the ultimate judge of mankind but when it comes to civil law in this country we have to look at the Supreme Court for the last word. Voter ID would be an example. The Bible says nothing about voter ID, but when the Supreme Court upheld Indiana's version of it in 2008, it said to states you can do this. They debate the cases with civility and honor. Plus their building is incredible.
Sounds good to me! Cool and no air conditioning, cookies and coffee.I think I'll fit in just fine!☺️(country-boy)!!!
Nice building and access to the main room is possible
While most things in Washington are larger than life, this is one of the most unassuming, small places I have been. Interesting in that is the true seat of power in our balance of government, the only federal branch and judicial level that is "for life" (or until the justice decides to voluntarily retire). The bookstore is out of this world for anyone interested in law or the legal process. To learn more about this place, I recommend going to law school, passing the bar, and then being admitted to practice here. Your ego will thank you.
A imposing structure that houses the most powerful justices in the world.
Such an impressive building! As I sat here looking at it and taking some pictures, I thought about how the Justice's should be required to walk up those steps each morning and back down them in the evening when they leave. I understand there's security risks, but entering through tunnels and going through elevators to their offices seems to take away accountability to the people for their decisions. I also think if they walk out those front doors and down the steps, maybe they'll have more opportunity to gaze out at the Capitol and Washington Monument and be reminded of what we founded this great Country on, and the morals and values that are represented in the Constitution and Bill of Rights. To have Ginsburg saying that she wouldn't look to the US Constitution if she was to draft a new one, is a travesty for a member of our Supreme Court. Her job is to uphold and defend the Constitution and the people, not to slice and dice it to fit the current waves of popular culture that comes and goes.
Because anyone can take their case to them. This is the last and final argument in a series of court hearings.
The most pivotal part of the world's most powerful country. Without this building, the common folk of America would have little to no rights, the greedy hands of corporations would be uncontrolled. To this building, I owe all freedoms to. The only reason one can truly feel American is because of our safety that this court stands up for, no matter who you are, this place and the people who work here are the real protectors of everyday life.
It is a great learning corridors for the masses to know how justice is important to a decent society. Everyone should visit this museum of law and justice as how America has been developed and how women entered into the domain of justice.
Very neat building - our lecture leader was incredible, very personable and had some cool facts to share. Architecturally it was alright, a little tired looking inside, but it's cool to see where all the justices meet.
beutiful
Magnificent Building with so much history being made inside - past & present, it's hard not to just sit and wonder about all that has happened in there over the years. And all that will happen in the future and our children's future... God Bless America and All it Stands For. The Supreme Court Building is closed on weekends and federal holidays. The building is open to the public Monday - Friday, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
I like the McDonald here and the sight seeing
Repeal roe v wade
The Supreme Court of the United States (sometimes colloquially referred to by the acronym SCOTUS[2]) is the highest federal court of the United States. Established pursuant to Article Three of the United States Constitution in 1789, it has ultimate (and largely discretionary) appellate jurisdiction over all federal courts and state court cases involving issues of federal law plus original jurisdiction over a small range of cases. In the legal system of the United States, the Supreme Court is generally the final interpreter of federal law including the United States Constitution, but it may act only within the context of a case in which it has jurisdiction. The Court may decide cases having political overtones but does not have power to decide nonjusticiable political questions, and its enforcement arm is in the executive rather than judicial branch of government.
The Supreme Court Building is an imposing and majestic temple located in the best district of Washington DC.
The Supreme Court of the United States is a breathtaking monument worth a visit. The large colonnades present an imposing view. The tour to the courts is something no one should miss. Centuries of history preserved carefully for posterity. The entry is free and worth every minute you chose to invest in there. A must visit for every tourist visiting Washington DC. This place is accessible through the hop on hop off bus tours too.
This is one of the places in Washington where the guards are decent human beings. I find that those patrolling other sites, like the White House, can be condescending and rude. But here, if you're lugging a few backpacks with you, they do their job very courteously - they come over to figure out who you are, while making friendly small talk. The conversation lasts long enough for them to figure out whether or not you're up to no good, and then they wish you well and move along. A+ This is, of course, a beautiful building and well worth your time to visit. An awful lot of very important history has gone down in this building, and you should take the time to visit.
Beautiful architecture. I love how the judiciary is the true check & balance to the power of the Executive & Legislative branches. Come soon before it closes & it won't be to crowded.
Amazing experience, would absolutely recommend visiting
Great job.
I love their McNuggets. Probably the best McDonalds in DC.
See your courts in action here!
5 stars for the beautiful and eye catching building and the great photo-ops. Must be quite an experience to be here when decisions on landmark cases are announced.
Was found guilty. Would not recommend.
It was beautiful! The security guards were very friendly and patient, since my belt and watch kept setting of the metal detector. The cafeteria food was very tasty, and the people working there were also very kind! A wonderful experience!
Where the big desicion of our society are made. Tours Monday thru Friday.
A US Landmark, where so much of the American history has happened. There often is a gathering of people arguing against or in favor of a decision to be taken by the Court, and it is interesting to engage with them. The building itself, of Roman inspiration, is impressive as such, but modest compared to its neighbours.
I am thoroughly disappointed in this place. I travelled all the way from California to go here to cop the new SS18 drop, (specifically the supreme x vans glow in the dark sk8-high sneaker) and was turned away, saying I was in the wrong place. AT LEAST GIVE ME A STICKER FOR CHRISTS SAKE I FLEW ALL THE WAY TO THE SUPREME STORE IN WASHINGTON AND GOT NOTHING!!!!!
Amazing architecture! I absolutely enjoyed my visit! Even though there is a partial government shutdown I saw no signs of trash or negligence here. It wasn't crowded so it made for some really good pictures to be taken. Such a cool place to go and visit!
If you go, it’s for the beauty of the building. I wish there was more in the history of the court
To be in the place where so much history of the shaping of our nation has taken place is amazing
I ha e never been there but someday I would love to come and see it in person. It looks like an amazing place to tour.
Where’s judge Judy?
The Supreme Court of the United States is the highest federal court of the United States. Established pursuant to Article Three of the United States Constitution in 1789, it has ultimate (and largely discretionary) appellate jurisdiction over all federal courts and state court cases involving issues of federal law plus original jurisdiction over a small range of cases. In the legal system of the United States, the Supreme Court is generally the final interpreter of federal law including the United States Constitution, but it may act only within the context of a case, in which it has jurisdiction. The Court does not have power to decide political questions, and its enforcement arm is in the executive rather than judicial branch of government. According to federal statute, the Court normally consists of the Chief Justice of the United States and eight associate justices who are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. Once appointed, justices have lifetime tenure unless they resign, retire, or are removed after impeachment (though no justice has ever been removed).[2] In modern discourse, the justices are often categorized as having conservative, moderate, or liberal philosophies of law and of judicial interpretation. Each justice has one vote, and it is worth noting that while a far greater number of cases in recent history have been decided unanimously, decisions in cases of the highest profile have often come down to just one single vote, thereby exposing the justices' ideological beliefs that track with those philosophical or political categories. The Court meets in the Supreme Court Building in Washington, D.C.
SCOTUS has taken away more rights and freedom than all other government institutions combined. It has constantly eaten its own vomits and been late to wash its filth. Justices' political motives maimed our Constitution, corrupted Americans' robust spirits, and inflated the government.
Make sure you visit ALL branches of government and reward yourself with a trip to the Supreme Court. I've never stood amid such tremendous pillars - and the great expanse of the interior drives home the importance of the court. Last lecture is at 3:30. We missed it by 20 minutes - don't make the same mistake. Everything you'd expect in the Supreme Court edifice of the U.S.A.
If you walk across the street you will see things that can only be seen here . You definitely gotta check this out while you are in D.C.
Impressive architecture
A relatively small building with a small museum in the basement. It was interesting to see everything but it's only a quick visit unless you sit in on a hearing. Regardless, I think it's worth a visit to see the American judicial system.
We loved all the exhibits on display and especially enjoyed the lecture given in the courtroom. It was great to hear about big cases heard in the Supreme Court and also great to ask questions of the lecturer as well.
Whaddya know, another American National monument that doesn't post it's actual hours. Yes, the building is "open" until 5, but if you actually want to go onto a courtroom (you know, the whole reason you go), you have to not only be there, but be upstairs by 3:15pm (15 minute before the final 3:30pm time) or you'll have the pleasure of getting to stand well outside the courtroom, behind a velvet rope, where you can peer through the doorway at what looks like, maybe two visible chairs. You'd think they'd get one of the many guard standing around guarding the empty areas to, I don't know, stand in the courtroom, so people can actually see what they came to see.
I got beat by the sheriff's dept. In Harris county Texas. I was in the hospital for three days. I went to file a formal complaint on them and they arrested me for assault on a police officer. I did not do it but i sat in jail for 4 months and just wanted out so i pled out to get out of jail. I am on probation and homeless now cause of this. All my family and everyone I know live in Ohio. I want to go home I did not do what they said. The pictures of me are horrific and the officers hands, fists were black and blue from beating me. What can do? I need help. They are wrong for what they did to me. I was in cuffs when i was beat. Somebody please help me. I have done some bad things in my life but I will admit when I'm wrong. I just wanted out of jail. Someone out there knows what i can do.
i dont know what your talking about boyeeeeeee
Make sure to get tickets through your local representative to be able to go inside the senate house where they have the real meetings to make a vote on laws. It was an amazing experience
Washington is an interesting state, enjoyed.
I didn't get to go inside, but the exterior architecture is amazing. #travelformortals
Been there but just outside. I would love to go back and go inside the building and take in all the art and the history of the building.
Impressive architecture, lots of real marble and apparently no air conditioning, and still cool. Spiral staircase my favorite bit to stare at. Incredibly friendly place: like in all places in Washington you have to go through security, but they do no ask for real ID or ask you to leave food and drinks out, unlike the Capitol; without previous booking you can queue for an half an hour lecture (I did, and leaned a lot... not native, definitely not in my curriculum) and in the weeks when the court is in session you can go in for a whole session, one hour, or for a sneak peak, admittedly some of the popular cases will be hard to get to see with people queuing overnight.
Anyone studying law...this is an outstanding experience, went for an oral argument for a case I did my capstone on and the experience was well worth it. The building is beautiful and filled with history. I highly recommend anyone to go.
Courtroom lectures are informative (go upstairs for line to courtroom), and it is worth the visit for the architecture and history.
1 star, was found guilty.
Coffe sucked and the vaked beans were cold
They said order in the court, i asked for a mc chicken and I didn't get it
Again, another stunning building with incredible architecture. Even if you don’t go inside, it’s worth the walk to go and experience the building itself and take in the beauty.
THEY DONT UPHOLD WILLS , THEY ONLY DO WHAT RICH PEOPLE WANT AKA THEY ARE PUPPETS ON A STRING
Im making this review only so i can be the 666th person to write a review on the supreme court of the united states :)
They do a decent job i wish they were at work a little more often. They really think hard during deliberations and consider what outcome is best for the people. I like how they mostly do not vote on party lines and vote what is in the constitution. The addition of goursuch makes the court even better
The historic building of Supreme Court of the United States of America is situated very next to the U.S. Capitol building in heart of Washington.
ayo why is brett kavanaugh here
The best kind of court you know. It's supreme!
They took my kids.
Let it be justice. One of "must see" places in DC.
The architecture is very beautiful, both outside and inside. It’s super interesting to follow an oral argument there is well, you do have to line up very early in order to get in. They usually give 50 tickets for public seating and about 150 show up, so you should get there around 6:30AM in order to get a ticket!
One of my favorite buildings in DC for more than just what it represents. For it's beauty and greatness, it still comes across as unassuming, which I love. It's right across from the back side of the US Capitol Building and lit up at night, it's magical. Plus it's fun to see protesters flock here. Also, oral arguments are free and open to the public on a first-come, first-seated basis. Make sure they're in session if you go!
Gorgeous architecture. Very informative museum style displays Highly recommend for families. Impressive sculptures and portrait paintings of justices. High quality food in the cafe
What a supreme court
Thanks for selling us out guys, now please let me buy in!!
Amazing place to visit and great place to have lunch. Classy little cafeteria with good food and pretty nice ambiance (it's the Supreme Court house!)
This is a place where so much of American History has occurred. The exterior is amazing and inside is pretty incredible as well. You can sit in the court room (as long as the Supreme Court isn't in session) or wander the incredible hallways that are open to the public. Downstairs there's all sorts of incredible exhibits and some eating options. Overall it's another "must see" when visiting Washington, DC.
Was nice, would go again
ARight's reserve no implication Rule arase at Standard Bank of America Merrill Lynch rise. Article Fed esthetics.
Amazing structure. I enjoyed the law depictions on the massive doors. Went on a holiday so I couldn’t go inside. The facilities and grounds were all empty and it was so peaceful. Going on a holiday is the best for outdoor pictures, not many people are walking around to mess up the clean shots. It’s sort of like you own the place for a day.
Very nice place from outside and inside :) I recommend visit the supreme court in case you are in DC ...
Nice place to visit but make sure you don’t show up 10 mins before closing or the staff won’t let you in. They do not care and do not do any favors at all. Way too strict and not understanding. They don’t care about your happiness at all. I told the security that my flight was leaving tomorrow morning and he had no sympathy. No reaction or care in the world. All I wanted to do was go to the gift shop because I forgot to go earlier. Guess I’ll have to go when I come back (years from now). So sad.
I give four stars because this is an established court of law, 5 stars would be allowed if you didn't support the allocation of military budget towards the border wall.
We rise and state all war ends now cause we say so. We take back our land stopping the rape of our sky, land, water & all USA life. We know you are spraying the population with nano weapons because you spred evil & lies. Real humans have power over all creation in love, Christ our Lord Jesus is come. Our intent is all that matters, our intent for love of others is the real battle. There are no powers over us except they are given. Blessings to all.. We are command by our Father in Heaven to do his good will. We make Heaven on our plane. We are one in love & All men say A-men
the most important court in USA
Nice bathrooms a lot of marble
Without Justice Scalia, a lot of the humor and sarcasm are no longer present, but worth a visit nonetheless.
I truly believe that SCOTUS is NOT doing the job they Swore to do...Uphold the Constitution. They have become nothing more than Political Hacks! Unelected Legislators in Black Robes. Do you remember this "A switch in time ,saves 9" (FDR Era). I'm sure you have some REALLY Expensive Clerks who could look that up. It's well past time for your "August Group" to actually earn your pay and (Uphold the Constitution) wouldn't you say.
This is the heart of the judicial branch of the US government. The tour of the chamber was interesting and informative. Amazing to sit in the chamber and know how much history has taken place there. There are a lot of great exhibits on the first floor. The cafeteria is even pretty good; I recommend the roast beef sandwich. If you are in DC you need to visit the Spreme Cout Building.
We had a great experience going through the Supreme Court. The building was inspiring from the outside and the inside was very nice too. We spent about 30 minutes looking at the statues/portraits and then we attended a 30 minutes lecture in the room where the Supreme Court meets.
Then just raise the price of Sri Lankan Tea again at Peddlers Village.
I was told this was a prestigious place and the coffee was wonderful. Truthfully, I you get a better latte at McDonald's. The only reason I didn't give it 3 stars is because they had hot stoppers.

I was arrested here, I got 20 years for nothing. NOTHING!But I STILL went to jail. If there were negative stars, this would get a -100.Terrible service, and I didn’t get to the jail for 4 hours. Improve your budget to help your convicts. Please don’t visit if accused of crime!!
It's educational
I haven't paid my taxes in 15 years
Enabling theives and criminals for over 200 years. A complete failure in making sure congress does not pass unconstitutional laws. Not capable in doing their job they have taken on the job of judicial activism and completely abandoning the constitution.
Phenomenal. The exterior and interior are just amazing. So much history. Going inside was like being a kid at Disneyland for the first time. Just in awe. Seeing so many photos in there just brings the history to life.
I WAS NOT GUILTY!!!11 THEY LIE! THEY LIEEEEEEEeeeeeeeee............... ;(
I hope they can help me some how get a pardon for my whole record considering mitigating circumstances and profiling hear-say investigation On to Cohersion into pleading Guilt or feeling that no way out.NoContest.I Believe My Human Rights Have Béen Neglectet Abused And Overlooked Since i was 16 still at 36 yrs im on postPrison supervision and off in less then 30 days but i have a tainted record of my Character and reputation that is causing me continual PTSD And Anxiety that i have had since i was 7 years old ..
Best court Money can buy
Me and my boy OJ had a great time here
Beautiful Building
Thursday, 27 June 2019: SHAME ON YOU!! Friday, 26 July 2019: SHAME ON YOU!!
Please look into and investigate Medina County Ohio's Court System and their Judges. They are Disgraceful, Corrupted, Unfair and DO NOT uphold the laws or protect the good law abiding citizens in this community. They do not care about the people they are suppose to protect and serve. SHAME ON YOU MEDINA COUNTY OHIO!!!
the customer service was terrible and the burgers tasted like paper and grease
Make sure you join the free lecture given inside the building. The volunteer will take you into this highest court of the Land and give a 30 minute long introduction of the court's history. It is an amazing experience!
Justice system that works without fear or favor.
its so wonderful i wish i could go there someday :)
Justice for all.... in particular for those members of congress who can't seem to do their job due to political ambitions.
The Supreme Court is what really helps us keep this great country together. I have learned alot from very knowledgable people about the Supreme Court. I am so grateful to have the Supreme Court in The United States of America. Im really looking forward to the future. Semper Fi
I didn't do the tour with the kids but just standing out in front and feeling the history was enough. I snapped a few pictures of the kids there. They will look back and understand one day.
Cool place to visit. Beautiful building. They don't allow any political statements on the steps, which seems antithetical to the whole idea of the place.
Extremist Ideologues that can't seem to be objective.
They don't deliver GrubHub, or UberEats
As a law student I truly appreciate being in the same building where monumental case were argued and decisions were rendered. The statutes, busts, and portraits of the past justices are amazing. Unfortunately, the Courtroom itself was close for maintenance
IS THERE MEMES IN THE COURT
Not a very fair trial
The highest court in the land! If you need something settled, ultimately these guys will have the final say on it.
If the court is sitting and you can attend a hearing, it is amazing. Even if court is not in session and even if the courtroom is inaccessible, it is still a magnificent building with a storied history.
So we didn’t make it for an oral argument, but there was still lots to see and do. There’s an exhibit on the main level with lots of history on the building and the justices. You can go to the second level and enter the court room and gawk at the high ceilings and important furniture. At certain times of the day you’ll be able to listen to a lecture while sitting in the public seating area. Cool place to visit.
I THOUGHT THIS WAS A LOCAL MACY'S BUT IT TURNS OUT ITS JUST WHERE THE PINNACLE OF SOMEONES HUMAN AND AMERICAN RIGHTS ARE JUDGED. 1/10
Beautiful site with wonderful group of young people!
I love the outside it’s so inspiring to see the Supreme Court in action, they post hearing times and you can sit in to a court decision.
Dictators on the bench. The robed manage the robbed... for Life.
It will be a quick visit and usually tagged on following a trip to the Capitol Visitors Center and Library of Congress. The Court is well worth a visit though, there is an informative display as you enter, and the building itself is extremely impressive, even if the court room itself seems in some ways modest when compared to the rest of the building. Numerous pictures of judges and some worthy snaps to be taken on the steps as you exit.
Awesome place to visit!
It was truly an honor to visit the highest court of the land here in America!
i love the law
Worth a quick stop before your Capitol tour
the architecture of building is cool
Nice learning about sarah o conner. The lecture was just a info about the judicial system plus we got to sit in the supreme court. See the spiral staircase.

Apparently if you trade in your baby at McDonald’s for 15 Big Macs it’s a federal offense
Gorgeous architecture
This was perhaps the best part of my DC experience. The courtroom is open to the public and there are lectures every hour, which highlight what the Supreme Court does and how it functions. During my 5 day trip I visited the Supreme Court on two separate occasions because the building is so beautiful, so much history has taken place there, and the exhibits on the main floor are quite interesting. If you have time, I would definitely add this to the list of places to visit.
Beautiful location. The architecture is amazing, a very nice walk. There are tons of granite benches located in the corners, near the mini gardens. The place wasn't packed at all, we were able to walk freely up and down the steps aswell. Very nice location to check out if you're a tourist!
There's not really too much to see here unless you catch a case, which I wasn't able to do. There are galleries of information and history which are interesting, but they're not very kid-friendly and a young child would quickly get bored. However, the architecture is really amazing, and you can take pictures of it, which is nice. All in all, this is a good place to visit, but more of a quick-walkthrough type of visit unless you see a case, and definitely not the place for young children.
It's a piece of art and is made up of tons of marble
They always have a job well done.
Brown V. BOE
It can be overlooked in your tour of Washington but it is well worth a trip. The history of the building is fascinating. I was fortunate enough to see the Justices in session. If you have the opportunity to sit in, it is not something to miss.
Its a national landmark. Its clean on the outside, its a little dated at the back entrance but its one of the cornerstone institutions of this country. They have a decent cafeteria and its historical.
terrible customer service i ordered food and it never came then a guy tried to arrest me for not leaving when i didnt get my food
