The REACH extension to the Kennedy Center is such a nice upgrade. On the warm days its a beautiful place to just be outside enjoying the weather. There is alot of grass Ive seen people having picnics here, there is art sculptures around to admire. There is also a small cafe that sells wine, beer and food. I came to sit here and get some work done, the views are great. I think if you are near here you should definitely take a walk through.

This review is for Victura Park at the Reach, a pop-up wine and coffee bar over summer 2020. We went on a Friday at 6:00 p.m. and were able to order and find a table very easily. They have all of the tables spread out and require masks if youre not eating or drinking. Just outside of the pop-up bar area is a big green hill of the reach where people can picnic as well. Youre not allowed to bring in outside beverages, but you can bring in outside food. They only accept credit card. You have to order before you could find a table. Its a better bet to get a bottle of wine for $24 than to get a glass for nine dollars. The pop-up park is baby and toddler friendly. We brought our 18-month-old and we saw a couple with a newborn introducing him to their friends. We went on a date that was very temperate and cool outside, so we were very comfortable. They have umbrellas at most tables which I think would help with the heat, but it would get pretty hot outside. Would definitely come back.

Great to see the safety and social distancing measures taken during their events. THE REACH staff took care to sanitize chairs that audience members touched but opted not to sit on before the show. Thanks for the hard work to keep the community safe!

Wonderful space. Much better than a winery. Come early to get a table. If not, bring a blanket and sit in the shade. Bring snacks. Best wine is the Sauvignon blanc. Rose from Portugal is terrible.

Lovely Sunday post brunch at the pop-up wine bar in Victura Park at the REACH. Nice wine and charcuterie by the river. Great place for socially distant gatherings!

This is a rather interesting interior. Very convenient to the bike path on the Potomac and right next to a cafe with indoor and outdoor seating.

Such a great extension of the Kennedy center that really brings art to the community in a fun atmosphere. My kids loved the lanterns, drummers and mask art they were able to do for the lunar New year celebration. Will hopefully return soon!

The Kennedy Center is a beautiful space in the center of Washington DC. Art is infused in every part if this experience from the Great architectural design to the serene setting and spacious grounds! This place hosts so many great cultural events and performances many of which are free! Check out their website. Theres always something going on! Highly recommended.

Outstanding venue as part of the Kennedy Center performing arts center. Beautiful architecture, wonderful spaces, not intimidating at all. Perfect for kids and adults, open until midnight so you can go out on terrace to enjoy the Potomac River views.

The REACH is a new campus right next to the main Kennedy Center building with the goal of democratizing inspiration. It’s a campus for all people breaking the barriers between the audience and art.The campus itself is three buildings above ground and a world of theaters, spaces, and classrooms underground. Every element on campus is named after something in JFK’s life. For example, one of the classrooms for children is named Macaroni after Caroline Kennedy’s pet horse. These rooms host local artists offering dance classes, performances, and more.The designer wants visitors to pay attention to what’s there and what’s not. To that end, there’s lots of open space. Above ground is the largest green roof in the city with gardens and pathways. There’s a cafe and at some point a full service restaurant.Everywhere you turn will inspire creativity and connection. It’s a beautiful space truly for the people.

We heard about this place while it was under construction and really looked forward to visiting. We finally got our chance during a recent visit to DC and were really impressed with its architecture and design. There were no events when we visited, so we just walked around and watched a short video at the theater. Definitely planning to see an event in our next visit.

The REACH at the Kennedy Center was an incredible two (2) weeks of on the job training, education and meeting people from all over the world become one in their solid, unified passion of seeing the creative arts campus come into fruition. Hats off to ALL the folks who were involved. I am glad that I was able to witness the burgeoning, and opening day crowds and watch fantastic dance performances from our young people. Its a fact, I watched history unfold!

An absolutely gorgeous space. The architecture (which both contrasts and fits right in with the KenCen) reminded me of NGAs The Edge with beautiful open spaces as well as triangular nooks and crannies. Its more a collection of around a dozen venues, from large outdoor open areas to small intimate studios. I cant wait to see what sort of events and shows they hold in this space.

This facility officially opens next week. Its open for the first time ever today as part of the annual Page to Stage Festival. Despite a few first performance ever technical difficulties, it looks like REACH will be a great addition to The Kennedy Center campus.
