We just returned from the Reagan Presidential Library. Although it was better than the Nixon Library, we thought it lacked much substance. Sorry! This is not a political statement, either! We have seen six libraries, LBJ and Clinton tied for first place! Both were loaded with so much information and very well done. The Reagan library was in an amazing... More

After the inclusion of Airforce One, brought my mom to visit and was pleasantly surprised! Many more interactive experiences (great for the kids) and the surrounding gardens are absolutely breathtaking! Would consider bringing lunch and spend the afternoon just walking around. The Berlin Wall exhibit is very well done and quite inspiring. I live in Simi Valley, am a Democrat,... More

I had a few hours come available while on a recent business trip and dropped by the Library. Two hours was not nearly enough, and I was impressed to learn so much in the short time I was there. Knowing Reagan only as President, the time and materials spent on presenting Reagan in his early political years was very well... More

I have visited the libraries of Presidents Kennedy and Carter. Both are lovely experiences in beautiful settings. But the Reagan Library which is perched on top of a mountain and has gorgeous views of the valleys, mountains and on a clear day, the Pacific ocean AND features a 153-foot Boeing 707, is a terrific Presidential Museum. The many exhibits are... More

When my daughter and husband suggested we go there, I thought ok, well spend an hour there. We spent 3 1/2 hours. I went back with my husband this year and spend 5 hours, and could have spend more. Whether you are Democrate or Rebublican you will enjoy this. The grounds are beautiful, the set up is terrific. Could use... More

This is one of the coolest Presidential Libraries I've been to (second only to Eisenhower's). You get to learn tons of cool information about Ronald Reagan. You get to view artifacts and information about his years as an actor, his years in politics, his life as a family man, etc. It really paints the whole picture. In addition to lots... More

Beautiful drive into Simi Valley and a little ways up the hill providing for breathtaking reviews at the top. There are a lot of interesting exhibits from Reagan`s early years as a broadcaster, actor to Governor and President and beyond. Airforce one used by Reagan is something else; especially how they placed it inside. The price of admission is very... More
