  • National Harbor Maryland the Perfect Combination of History and Entertainment
    August 18, 2016 • APG News A5 ALL THINGS MARYLAND National Harbor Maryland The perfect combination of history and entertainment By LAUREN FINNEGAN APG News Everyone knows about Baltimore’s historic Inner Harbor but many peo- ple seem unaware of the National Har- bor located just outside of the District of Columbia in Maryland’s Prince George’s County. The National Harbor is a 350 acre development of attractions along the Potomac River. From family-friendly events to nightlife, the National Harbor has it all. One of the first things that visitors will notice when arriving at the National Harbor is the giant Ferris wheel that sits on the water’s edge. Known as the Cap- ital Wheel, it stands 180 feet above the Potomac River waterfront, which makes for some astounding views. At $15 per ride, guests can grab a seat in one of 42 climate-controlled gondolas that seat up to eight, and relax while viewing trea- sured landmarks like the White House, the U.S. Capitol, the National Mall, Arlington National Cemetery, and the Washington Monument. Near the Capital Wheel, the giant hand that looks as if it might grab a passerby is not an illusion. It really is a giant hand – albeit an aluminum one. The hand is part of a famous statue called “The Awakening.” Designed by J. Seward Johnson, the statue is more than 70 feet across, and made out of five cast Courtesy photos iron aluminum pieces. The statue is not (Clockwise from top) The Capital Wheel and the shops at the National Harbor illuminate the night sky; A couple paddles just something that’s interesting to look out into the Potomac River after renting a paddleboard and kayak from the National Harbor; A father and son play on at; children and adults are encouraged to David Stromeyer’s Tool De Force, one of the many pieces of art that can be found at the National Harbor.
