Capitol Visitor Center Finally Opens

Three years late and nearly $360 million over budget, the Capitol Visitor Center is finally open in Washington, D.C. What do you think?


“My family’s so excited. We can’t wait to ride the Supplemental Appropriator, catch a bite at Filibuster’s, and have our picture taken with Peddly the Lobbyist.”

“Perhaps this can pave the way for other over-budgeted visitor centers at federal landmarks. I always thought the St. Louis Arch should have an underground visitor center directly beneath it that is shaped like a 600-foot-deep subterranean arch.”

“Oooo, I can’t wait until it’s closed for renovations.”
