  The historical significance a coupled with the shear size of the facility make it an good visit if you have the time. I toured long ago as a child but I have had the opportunity to visit professionally on several occasions and I do enjoy it. It is simply impressive to see the home of our military and to appreciate the service that goes on there. Yes 5 sides, 5 interlocking complexes and 5 floors, the theme is reaped throughout.

  The building is immense; the empty courtyard in the center is 5 acres!! Tour is uber-professional; military guides show you interesting displays, hallways and sites in this historic building. Visit the Pentagon Memorial after a tour; arrive early--it can draw big crowds; schedule a tour online in advance if you can.

  The Pentagon is truly magnificent. It is a structure that embodies power both visually and professionally.

  We did not go inside, but we drove around it----then went on to the nearby Arlington Cemetery. The 5 sided Pentagon is a low rise building that is immense. The colors are subdued---nothing flashy, but very military in tone.

  We had to go to the Pentagon on our 1st visit to DC. I did not consider to take a visitor's tour and after reading the reviews, perhaps should have. All I actually wanted is a kind of elevated photo of the pentagon shape of the building - almost a "been there" tick only. Well, if that is why you decide to go, don't bother...all you see is from ground level and there seems to be no way to get a true perspective of this landmark building. Too bad.

  This is a must see attraction. I was lucky enough to do a tour with an employee at the pentagon but there are also group tours available. The history within is truly amazing.

  we stayed at Crystal City so we pass every day in front of the Pentagon, and we only saw , lots of cars parked, a cold building with lots of windows

  DId you know you can take a tour of the Pentagon? Well, you need to book it at least two weeks in advance- a longer window is recommended, given my experience. The tour is highly entertaining and informative. The whole place is set up like a museum, with exhibits lining all of the hallways, and you will find yourself wishing you had more time to stop and examine all of the memorabilia and artifacts. It is highly structured, as you might imagine, and only one hour long- but highly recommended.

  I had no idea civilians could visit the Pentagon, and certainly no idea that it contained such a fabulous collection of art. I am so glad I had the opportunity to explore this fascinating building.

  Although the personnel were great as tour guides, I hoped to see where some of the work was done, learn in general what's going on. What you get is a tour of a few hallways with historic pictures and stories of the branches of our service and a couple facts about the building.You do get to see the "inside" 911 memorial and a few facts about the day which was awesome but about the only things that separates this tour from any other DC attraction.
