Watch performance in The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts
The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, which was created and is named after America's revered president from Camelot, is highly recommended by many tourists. The National Symphony Orchestra, the Suzanne Farrell Ballet, and the Washington National Opera, as well as a variety of other theater and musical productions throughout the year, are all housed at the Kennedy Center. On the Millennium Stage, you can watch a performance without paying anything, despite the somewhat high ticket prices.
According to previous guests who praised the facility for its performances, the rooftop terrace at The Kennedy Center provides spectacular views of the Potomac River and the surrounding area. Recent visitors advise taking one of the building's free guided tours to understand more about the history and architecture of the theater. On weekdays between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. and on Saturdays and Sundays between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., theater volunteers offer tours several times daily.
From the Foggy Bottom-GWU Metro station, a free shuttle bus travels to The Kennedy Center. The building's garage is also open for paid parking everyday from 6 a.m. to midnight. The box office is open every day from 10 a.m. or noon to 9 p.m., and there are theater performances scheduled throughout the day. Inside are restrooms, a gift store, and two restaurants.
