We had not visited the Garfield Memorial before. I had seen the exterior a couple times, so I was happy to go inside. We were greeted by the docents who ushered us into the atrium where there is a st… Full review by MidwestKathM

I was unexpectedly impressed … I had expected an over-the-top tribute to another bland Gilded Age president (I am a history teacher) but the monument and volunteer guides give a good sense of the man… Full review by jonnuxoll
I see you have to pay $5 for 12 or more people... do you have to pay to go in if it is only 2 people?

I think you can visit the museum for free but not get a guided tour of the house which I highly recommend. We have senior national park passes so it was free but we still paid for the tour because it was money well spent.

For the monument itself, as much or as little time as you want to spend. There's a marble staircase to a large patio viewing area, where youo can see for miles that they will enjoy. There is a main floor and a lower level. Probably, as the other reviewers have said, 20 minutes minimum. The grounds are more for adults, but the kids can be let loose a bit. Wade Chapel is a marvel, and if a docent is there, you'll get an interesting history that will bore the kids. There are really interesting people buried there. Not far from Garfield's Memorial, you'll find Alan Freed's granite jukebox headstone. Also there: John D Rockefeller, Ray Chapman (the only baseball player to die from being hit in the head by a pitch - there are aleays baseballs on his headstone), Eliot Ness, and a 9-11 memorial. It's a beautiful cemetery that doesn't need to be seen all at once.
