Attended our Company's Annual Awards. The Nixon Library and grounds make this a very special event.

I was a docent from 1990-1993. I participated in the dedication day celebration on July 19th, 1990. I was also honored to be asked to be in the motorcade that brought Mrs. Nixon home after her passing. I will tell you something the Library will not, the house President Nixon was born is haunted Many strange things happened.

It was a great day. I truly love the 4 President that spoke and question answer time. Only wished the roses were. In bloom. Learn several things we didn't know.
Best part was my husband 60th birthday and in his younger years he had a part in building the Library and never went back after the completion

Such a great way to start President's Day weekend. Me and my son had a great time. Super friendly staff. Parking was easy and open with no charge. The facility was so clean and nice. I was blown away at how beautifully laid out everything was.the Oval Office and his childhood home were my favorite things. Nixon was such a great President.there was so much I didn't know. So glad we went on a random Friday.

There is so much more to president Nixon than just Watergate I had an incredible time with an incredible amount of information. I could go back a second time and still learn so much more

Richard Nixon was a complicated president, but he was an even more complicated individual. The library is one of the nicest I have been to, and it's inclusion of Nixon's actual birthplace was very interesting. The exhibit's displays are intelligently designed to highlight his political triumphs while minimizing the less savory aspects of his presidency.

The service was good and security did a good job. Worth a visits for the outside grounds and childhood home alone. Take a tour of the house if you have the time. Very informative.

Had a good time with the family here on a Sunday after. The intro video at the beginning was worth watching after you pay for admission ️. Make sure you leave your pepper spray, guns, and knives at home. Price of admission was worth the value. The museum really highlighted the great things Nixon contributes to building America. Well balanced between his early childhood, law career, politics to his last days. Well organized. His childhood home ️ tour was the highlight of his humble beginnings. Helicopter was not open. Had a few roses in bloom not too far from his tombstone and his wife's. Staff were very engaging and friendly. Glad the museum also highlighted some of the bombings that occurred in Cambodia. But, it did miss the amount of Khmer who suffered horrible amputations and death from US landmines and unexploded bombs. Approximately 2.8 tons of explosives we're dropped compared to 2 tons during WWII according to Bombs Over Cambodia by Taylor Owen and Ben Kiernan.

The Library is nicely laid out. The music and pictures in some of the exhibits were a bit too busy for me, leaving it hard to concentrate. I also thought the security was watching people too much, I guess because its a federal building. But the parts I did like was that his birth house is there and the garden was designed so nicely. Things I did not know was Nixon's involvement in cancer research and how active he was women's rights. He was a very intelligent man. Even at his worst he probably had more intellect than the presidents of the last 30 years.

Brought back memories of that time in history. There was a lot of firsts during that time that are forgotten by most Americans. The only think they remember is Watergate.

Well curated and informative museum. All staff present on site were very kind and willing to help. They have good facts about Nixon to share. Coolest part of the museum is the house Nixon was born in is present on site (renovated over the years) and the helicopter used for him and Regan. Entrance to the helicopter is not open currently (Dec 2021) due to COVID.

Plan to spend at least 2 hours here. Tickets are ~$20 per person. Helpful to watch the film on Nixon (10 mins) at the start prior to going thru the exhibits

Wonderful museum with plenty of history that defined Ex-Pres Richard Nixon's administration. Museum's exhibits are really well organized, neat and very educational. Personally, my favorite part of the museum is the timeline of the Watergate scandal and the downfall of Nixon as
US President. The museum, outdoor garden and Nixon's birthplace house sits on a 9 acre land. Admission is relatively affordable. Parking lot is huge. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. A must see museum for families and every American who want to get to know Richard Nixon as a president, as a man and a husband.

As the owner of Splashes of Time Photography (splashesoftime.com) I must say I love weddings at the Nixon Library. There's so many great photo locations and the staff is amazing. Highly recommend!

Yet another place to visit. It doesn’t matter what your political affiliation is, there you’ll find plenty of historical materials and memoirs. Interesting pictures from Nixon’s trip and meeting with the former dictators: China (Mao), Russia (Brezhnev) Poland (Gierek), Romania (Ceausescu), former Yugoslavia (Tito), Spain (Franco)

The Nixon Library and Museum is one of the most beautiful and interesting of its kind. It doesn't paper over Nixon's flaws and errors, but it doesn't shierk from bravely defending his legacy and genius. They portray him and his era as they were - and the result is astounding and inspiring.
The staff is courteous, dedicated and knowledgeable. I enjoyed immensly the guided tour of Nixon's birthplace given by Victoria, as well as a lovely conversation with Daniel.
Highly recommended.
