Reality is that the current security environment has made West Point close their gates tighter than in previous years. I strongly suggest that you come back for a football weekend, you will see parades, parachute demonstrations, and be able to walk around post (we have a lot more security when we open the post to visitors on these weekends) and really enjoy what is a national treasure as well as see a football game in what has been selected as one of the best locations for a college football game (I think by Sports Illustrated). This is the oldest continually occupied military post in the country (one of the original forts are restored and open on football game days). We would love nothing more than opening up the post to visitors as we did before 9/11, but those days are gone forever.
