Melynda Brown

This site is beautiful, rich in history and culture. Come and spend the day here, there are so many things to take part in!

Thierry Poquet

Great experience through the fort, during the summer, the winter candle walk, going through the garden, checking the trading Post, the blacksmith etc... Great staff! Beautiful park

Matthew deshetler

This is a very nice national monument. I went here to say I have been to Washington. I got a stamp for my parks passport and bought a Washington bumper sticker. Bathrooms were cleanly. Staff was very helpful and informative

Isaac Hallam

Benn touring there since the 4th grade.

Lucas Martinez

Historic and beautiful!

Ava Miller

Beautiful place

Christopher Quintanilla

A gorgeous piece of Washington and Pacific Northwest history dating back to the arrival of the British and Hudson Bay Company days and being a military district first for the British and then the US. Great grounds to stroll and have picnics at and right on the Columbia River. A must see! This is a great place to get an idea of what live was like during the Wild West. What it was like to live on a military post, the cool old houses, famous people that lived here in Vancouver (President Grant had a house here), livery stables, blacksmith, and the fort itself.

Wonderful National Historic Site treasure.

Great place to visit to learn about local history. The park is beautiful and is great for walks. It is pet friendly as well!

En E. Day

General U.S. Grant was once stationed here! Easy parking. They just need more public restrooms. Great place to go for a walk especially on a sunny day.

Stuart Kemp

Great to explore. You want history? Lots of it here and stories

Cari Hall

An amazing historical site to visit! So many old buildings to tour and see, a great restaurant in the Grant House, and if you play Pokemon Go, this is your place to stop.

If you're into this kind of stuff, you'll find it hasn't gone anywhere since someone else saw it last.

Deanna Rohrbach

Lots to see and do. Great place to take the family.

Great history and preservation. Clean and well maintained.

Shiloh Steinhebel

Went for the 4th of July fireworks show. I highly recommend either purchasing tickets for the prime viewing area or make sure you are as far as possible on the west side of the main viewing area since there is a line of trees blocking some of the fireworks. The display was pretty good, but has been better in the past. I know that these displays are based on a budget and inflation but I'm putting my two cents in. There are several food options to choose from as well as an aviation museum for Ft. Vancouver and a highly detailed model representation of the Spruce Mills, and a playground for kids North of the main viewing lawn.

John Elkin

What a great place to visit, great walking, history everywhere you look and very friendly staff.

angel floof

Great place for a walk

Nugoon Suwanjinda

Beautiful landmark

Jeanine Rosch

Not all that impressive for a national park. Nothing to do there. No camping close by ,no bbq grills or good picnic spots. Not enough activities no ranger talks, the staff is rude and stand oafish. Typical west coast unfriendly attitude. SIMPLY PUT.... BORING!

Angela Drake

We really enjoyed walking around this old fort. We found the kitchen staff baking pies and the blacksmith hammering iron. But favorite part overall was the excellent demonstration garden.

Bonnie Etson

We had a fantastic time at the Fort for 4th of July! Great times

James Salomon

Allow yourself to be immersed in a Time where life was rugged distant and always filled with some kind of obstacle that was overcome. Engage staff they are very knowledgeable.

XXXdepressedfox

Nice place to walk around and explore. The garden was very nice.

Mike Keon

Beautiful buildings and grounds.

John Taylor

I love history. I grew up in a house where my family stressed reading. Seeing history is always fascinating. I get to take my kids on my days off plus there's lots of pokestops so they can learn and play at the same time

Michael Brennan

It was a great place filled with history and knowledge of world war one and the Hudson Bay Company and when the Army came to the Pacific Northwest

Breeanne Logsdon

It was so beautiful and loads of fun! But the vendors could have been a little more helpful like knowing where the bathrooms outside the "prime viewing" area where located

Michael Pinto

Best pokemoning in the area.

sco say

Great place. Allocate at least a few hours to see everything. With kids I spent 5 hours here, including a lunch break, discussed later in my review. Also visit the additional national Park service place right next door, within walking distance, Pearson Air Museum. For a sit-down meal head south over the land bridge and stop at one of the two establishments for some food and then head back and see some more. Kids are free and adults were only $10 or free if your child is in 4th grade this year.

Robert Langley

Beautiful place to walk.

Luciana Heng

It's a nice place. Big park. A lot of Pokemon Go attractions due to many poke stops and gym!!! My fav place to go to for challenge, has picnic table and big space to relax and walk around.
