We tried this winery last weekend for the first time, in part because of its close proximity to Washington. The Winery boasts an extensive tasting area, plus high and low tables for more extended wine tasting and light snacks. The grounds of the winery include vines for the winery’s Norton grapes, picnic tables, and additional space for special events such as weddings.
The wines in our tasting ranged from good to very good, and the staffers with whom we spoke were friendly and responsive.

This museum is amazing! I even prefer it to the Air and Space museum on the national mall. It has the most amazing aircraft, including the Concorde, Space Shuttle Discovery, and even the Enola Gay. It's a real stroll through history. Don't miss the Blackberry (I think that's what it is called.) It flew from coast to coast in about an hour in the 1960s. I wonder what amazing feats today's secret technology is able to do. Very entertaining and highly recommended.

This is just a wonderful place. It has a walking tour for the 1st Battle of Manassas, and a driving tour of the 2nd battle. We thoroughly enjoyed it!

Small museum that highlights the long history of firearms.
Reviewed By D2821ITroberts - Heathsville, Virginia
Even if you don’t support the 2nd Amendment the history of firearms is spectacular. Those who enjoy firearms will be amazed at the inventory and match grade guns on display along with write ups and brief history of the weapons on display.
If you have ever just seen in a book guns this museum gives you up close looks of weapons from their inception.
Make sure you a lot three or more hours as you wonder the museum at your own pace and get a history lesson along your tour.

We used to bring our kids there when they were little. Seeing that Frying Pan Farm Park is still thriving makes me happy. Have great memories going in the past.

We went with a couple who are members of the wine tasting club. The winery offers tastings of each of 7 wines at no charge for the members and 2 guests. The person serving was quite friendly, knowledgeable and extremely accommodating, giving us his undivided attention as he described each wine. His descriptions were spot on and we couldn't believe it when we later found out it was his second day on the job! The only negative is that the main seating area is very loud when it is busy.

We joined our son, his wife and our grandson to Cox Farms the other day. It's easy to get to and parking is plentiful. Admission is reasonable and the entire staff is always polite. There is plenty to do for all ages. They have a variety of slides that were a big hit with our grandson. Don't miss the hay ride!

Small visitor center that offers tour of Sully House on the hour. We arrived 20 minutes after the hour and opted for a self guided tour of the grounds. A free map was available with explanations of the history and buildings. Walk included outbuildings as well as a garden and small cemetery which also held the remains of 3 children. The setting itself was quite remarkable -- preserved right off a major highway. My daughter and I both remarked that it was ironic that several hundred years ago this existed without the highway, the jetliners coming overhead into Dulles and the high tension poles carrying power to surrounding communities as well as businesses. All in all, a pleasant way to spend an hour or so walking, enjoying nature and history.

Reviewed By Gabriel H - Bellaire, Texas, United States
This station is over 100 years old and is one of the busiest AMTRAK stops in the area. It funnels a lot of people who live in Northern Virginia but work in Washington DC. The small station offers parking, an ATM, payphones, ticket vending machines and newspaper racks. it is in the heart of Old Manassas, just a block from a number of restaurants, cafes and tourist attractions. If you want to avoid the horrible traffic of Washington DC and its suburbs, this is a wonderful town where you can plan exploring Northern Virginia, the Appalachians and even DC itself.
