Very pretty, but unclear what there actually is to do there. Pretty little walk, pretty garden, but I don't think there were any buildings to go into, and no interpretation that we could find.It was nice! Especially in nice weather. Maybe not worth a drive on its own, but if you're going to Alexandria anyway, it's a nice quick stop!

My daughter, wife & I had a fantastic time. It had wide open space to run around, the animals were so cute for the little ones to play or ride on and the food was a bit expensive but pretty good.Why only four stars? MORE TRASH CANS!!!!!! I can’t tell you how many times people walked around wondering how or where they were supposed to throw away their trash.

So, I went to my friend's wedding at River Farm, and it was honestly such a great experience. The venue itself is beautiful, and it has this interesting history that adds a nice touch.What really got me was the view of the water. Picture this: rocking chairs overlooking the water, just a perfect spot to take a breather from all the wedding excitement. It was surprisingly relaxing.Overall, River Farm made the whole wedding feel special. If you're ever looking for a venue with charm and a chill vibe, I'd totally recommend it.

Great wedding Venue- beautiful gardens overlooking the Potomac River. The large tent connected to the Manor house easily accommodated 100 guests and there was plenty of room for dance floor.

Such beautiful history right on the banks of the Potomac!

River Farm is a beautiful venue for a wedding. The grounds are well-maintained and offer a variety of stunning backdrops for photos. The event staff is friendly and helpful, and they go above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly on the big day. The catering is top-notch and there are plenty of options to choose from. Overall, River Farm is a fantastic choice for a wedding and I highly recommend it. IG @iamthesam

I photographed one of my very first weddings at River Farm back in 2017 and I've had the privilege of going back for around a half dozen weddings in the years since. It's been beautiful each and every time! The grounds at River Farm are lovely and have a ton of opportunities for portraits, but I especially love all of the character throughout the house and the amazing ceremony spot framed by a giant oak. Excited to be back in a couple months for another wedding! ig @smackthatbird

My family and I were fortunate enough to attend the most beautiful event that we have ever been a part of, my cousin's wedding. If not for such a truly world class venue, this most joyous of days for everyone involved simply would not have been as memorable.

Gorgeous venue. We were invited here for an event and now it's one of my fave places to visit in Alexandria. The grounds are well kept, the staff is exceptionally accommodating and the views are beautiful and breathtaking.

Lovely manicured gardens and lawns for a picnic, place for kids to play, walk with a dog, or chance to wander and relax with some natural surrounds, a glimpse of the river, and some garden education along the way. I would have loved to see even more educational signage since it's home of the American Horticultural Society so I could understand a bit more about the plantings while wandering the gardens on my own. On my Friday afternoon visit the gardens were open but the gift shop and estate were closed, but little pamphlets were available as an easy guide around the property.

We got married there June 2022 and couldn't be happier. The staff was friendly, professional and quick to help. The grounds are some of the most stunning gardens and views in the entire DMV. We both feel extremely grateful to have been able to celebrate our wedding there.

River Farm was just saved from development. It's one of the few Potomac waterfronts still open for free to the public. Formerly owned by George Washington, it's a wonderful place to picnic, stroll the shore, and enjoy the beautiful greenery.

It's a charming place to visit. Even in winter, it's a lovely place with spectacular views. They welcome leashed dogs and picnickers. There's not a ton of parking, but it was quiet on a Thursday (I suspect they open up spots along the roadway for events). It's more of a grown-up destination than with kids, and they have no-ball rules. If you have a baby, bring your off-roading stroller to access more of the grounds.
