Armel-Leftwich Visitor Center

Excellent tour in a tiny little car. Learned so much about the culture of the naval academy. Wonderful tour for both locals and visitors. Great place to take photos and hear all about the navy and the naval academy. Very interesting stories that went along with each stop on the tour. Had a chance to get out and actually see these up close. Highly recommend.

Ok, here is the deal: I am a 26 year Army veteran and loves it whenever Army beats Navy in football. I will also say, during my Army career, I have worked in many joint assignments and the Navy personnel were always amazing teammates and it was an honor to serve with them so when the wife and I took a quick 3 day trip to Maryland, we decide to visit the Naval Academy, attend church services and go on the 90 minute tour. We had an amazing time and even though we like to travel a lot, today was one of the best days in a long time. Church service was beyond great and our tour was awesome. We had the lovely Claire who truly loves Navy and shared so many insightful stories and history with us. Clair is classy, fun, and wonderful. We are thankful and blessed to share 90 minutes with her. We also talked to some of the midshipmen and took photos with them. And lastly, don't forget to walk out the gate and explore Annapolis as a midshipman would; you won't be disappointed. Here are some photos from our visit!

Easy parking on a weekday. Tour was at a good price. Our favorite part was seeing the swim and dive center with the tribute to great athletes for each sport. We saw Staubach’s Heisman trophy in there and some tributes to David Robinson. The wall with gold footballs for each time they beat Army was another hit. The Chapel and John Paul Jones crypt is so well done, it was a great honor to see this part of the Academy. Beautiful campus. Can’t wait to see a football game here one day.
