GRECU SERGIU

Free admission. No. Liquid is allowed. I had a bottled water that I just purchase 5 minutes ago, but I had to drink all. Small museum focusing on each judge’s achievement, and little bit of history.

The Supreme Court was cool to see in person. The spiral stair case was a sight to see. I didn't get there in time for the tour, but I wish I had. I went during the day during the week. There was a short wait through security to get in. It wasn't crowded. There are two floors to see, and an elevator is available. The bathrooms are clean. The gift shop also had a nice assortment of items.

Free to get in. Check the calendar ahead of time because you can sign up to listen to arguments in the court room. Hourly lectures during tours. Gift shop and cafeteria on premises.

Amazing historic building. Clean restrooms. No reservation needed for a free tour. Great gift shop!

Impressive! Exploring the public areas of the Supreme Court is an awe-inspiring experience, with its expansive marble hallways that exude grandeur. Inside, you'll find numerous captivating displays and exhibitions, as well as an informative film about the court. There's also a dedicated section honoring the first female Chief Justice. For a deeper understanding of the American legal system, you have the option to book a half-hour talk inside the actual courtroom (please note that photography isn't allowed). This experience was incredibly interesting and greatly contributed to our comprehension of the legal system in the United States. During my vacation, visited most of the favorite landmarks and buildings in DC, and the Supreme Court pleasantly surprised me. It's a place where politics takes a back seat, and you can truly sense the profound weight of justice being administered. Given that not everyone is familiar with the Court's history, the informative yet understated displays provide valuable insights.

It is true, this building the Supreme Court of the United States is the real “Marble Palace”. Excellent architecture and design seen all over. Through wikipedia I learned associate justices make salary of $268, 300 and the chief justice is paid $280,500 per year according to the year 2021. Like any-other county justices are nominated by the president in power and confirmation by U.S Senate. This building is open to the public from 9 AM to 4:30 PM on weekdays and closed on weekends. There is a Cafeteria and a gift shop inside. Visitors can get seated, there are about 240+ seats available.

I’ve been coming to the outside of SCOTUS for years as a place for silent reflection. But never have I gone inside. Wow! What an amazing building. It’s remarkable to me that this 3rd Branch of US Government was totally overlooked when the US Capitol was built. The Court had to use dark old basement rooms and former senate chambers for decades! (See attached photos) And finally when the land and funding was given to this 3rd Co-Equal Branch, it got buried behind the Capitol structure and the mall. Not a prominent placement like the Whitehouse or Congress.

Another impressive place to learn about our Supreme Court and justice. While there are no tours, they offer impressive wealth of information and court lecture.
