This monument was breath taking. A bit hard on the knees when you walk down. But we got engaged at the top so I think my knees were weak for other reasons. Great photo's, wonderful staff, excellent monument to visit!

More in the museum than I was expecting. Insight into life way back was educational. Found a few interesting books in their shop - Pilgrim/Indian relations and Sailors' Valentines. Informative staff.

We scaled the 116 stair climb with a little bit of exertion and a lot of humor. It was eventful to see the blocks placed by various cities and people and know that we had been to many of them. The climb was done on a warm afternoon and the sun allowed a clear view from the top. The view was magnificent, you can see for miles. Since it is square, you can see the whole area and it is like going up in the statue of liberty. Not crowded, plenty of room. I would not advise for those who are not in good health. It is a difficult climb for the knees, heart, and lungs, altitude changes, etc. Enjoyed! Don't forget to pick up your sticker that says you made it up to the top!

Was fun climbing the circular staircase to the top of monument. ( huff and puff ) Reaching the top we found the scenery spectacular. The lower part of monument had some interesting exhibets on display. T'was truly enjoyable. I recommend the P-Town monument to all vacationers. P.S. Needless to say, coming down the staircase was much easier.

First off, don't visit the monument on a full stomach! It's a good climb to the top. Their handouts tell you it's 116 steps and 60 ramps to the top. All in all it's not THAT bad, as you walk some steps, walk the ramp, walk some steps, rinse, repeat. We were barely winded at the top, but maybe that just means we're not THAT old yet! If you've got a bad ticker, this might not be the place to test it.
