Monuments by Night

Hop aboard an open-air electric vehicle for an enlightening journey through the most iconic monuments and memorials by night. You'll see the majestic splendour of the Washington Monument, Lincoln, FDR, and Jefferson Memorials, and many more.

Get ready to be taken on a truly illuminating ride!

Jump on an all-electric open-air vehicle for a unique Washington tour of the monuments and memorials by night. You’ll get to see the iconic sights in a whole new perspective. Some of the highlights along the way:

  • The Washington Monument, recently reopened after major restorations from earthquake damage
  • The Jefferson Memorial and MLK Memorial, illuminated by indirect lighting from the Tidal Basin
  • The FDR Memorial, with cascading waterfalls and scenic sculptures depicting President Roosevelt’s four terms
  • The WWI Memorial and the WWII Memorial, with a spectacular fountain display
  • The Lincoln Memorial, where you can walk up and take in a gorgeous view
  • The Korean War Memorial, lit up with an atmospheric glow
  • The Vietnam Memorial, housing the names of 58,000 fallen heroes
  • The White House, where you’ll be happy you’re not footing that electric bill
  • Capitol Hill, the most stunning area at night with lights on the Library of Congress, and world-famous dome of the US Capitol

You'll have a chance to flaunt your night photography skills as you get up close and personal with these imposing illuminated beauties. If you think the Washington monuments by day are spectacular, wait until you see them by night!

Our RedRoadsters are the personal and comfortable way to tour the National Mall. Equipped with roll-down clear siding, they’re the perfect way to sightsee in the rain or wind. Our vehicles are also equipped with warm blankets in the winter for your comfort.
