Not a big fan of the man, but a big fan of presidential memorabilia, and this place has plenty of that including his childhood house. Very cool place for a very controversial president. No real mention of Watergate. Kind of dissapointing on that front. Should be more of a museum and less of a cheerleader. More

When I went to Nixon Presidental Library and Museum, I saw the graves of President Richard Nixon and his wife named Pat Nixon. I saw his birthplace and his helicopter, he used to ride in. More

I found the library very informative and a beautiful setting. It is hard to find unbiased information about Mr. Nixon and it was good to see such a well balanced presentation that didn’t dodge the hard questions. More

We loved everything about the Nixon Library the first visit there to review it for our daughter's July Wedding in 2011! The grounds are exceptional, service was wonderful and reception delightful (Anaheim White House Restaurant catered at Nixon Library). More

However as museums go, there were hardly any... More

Even if you disagree with his politics, the museum and grounds are worth spending a few hours visiting. We started with a free guided tour of the museum giving us the highlights, then were on our own to discover the rest. The grounds are beautiful with a meditation pool and flowers. Mr. and Mrs. Nixon are buried here. A path... More
