    A fascinating look at the life of this right-wing guy. It really does take several hours to go around. Mostly really interesting. One absolute poor point is what is jokingly called "The Reagan Pub" where the amount of stuff on sale is exceedingly poor. A couple of refrigerators and a shelf of popcorn just isn't good enough.

    This place was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend and I will go back. Regardless of your politics, there are so many fascinating displays, artifacts and pieces that bring the history to life. When you can see things in person vs. reading about it, or watching it on TV, it is just a whole other experience. The sounding hillside and gardens are so peaceful and quiet. The views are gorgeous. I highly recommend to go visit. Take your family and enjoy it. Please be respectful.

    This is a very large presidential museum. All one sided pro Reagan as expected. You see an introductory video, his years as governor of California, his election as president, assassination attempt, oval office, many rooms going over what he did as president, and then the post presidency years. There is a massive side wing which holds the 747 Air Force One exhibit with a list of all his travels, presidential motorcade, and helicopter. A pub with snacks is also located here.

    The Cafe and museum store are located near the entrance. Quite a selection in the cafe, including gluten free options.

    The massive special exhibit wing is the main reason to come back. Presently the Genghis Khan exhibit is there. Great story, maps, weapons, yurt, costumes and performances. Unfortunately, the lighting is poor and not all the descriptions are accurate (veins of charcoal dug up from the ground?, I think they mean coal). Past exhibits of science fiction writing and spy craft were better. Pompeii is next, I cannot wait.

    What an awesome day out. Been there twice now and it doesn’t get old. It can be extremely busy so good idea to call ahead to get an idea of the ‘traffic’. If you like to spend time reading everything then you should allocate the whole day. They say 4 hours but there is way too much to read in that time. If you go at Christmas time you can also see ‘presidential Christmas trees’ exhibits. Planning to go again next year. Love it! We also were fortunate enough to see the titanic exhibit This time.

    I love this museum, it is so beautiful, located in picturesque Simi Valley. The exhibits are very informative, walking you through each step of Reagan's life and presidential terms in office. Being able to see the actual Air-force One, and marine one is quite the experience. Even if you are not a fan of his policies, you have to experience the amazing history found here.

    It is like a museum of America in the 20th century. So much history there. The grounds are spectacular, with views of the mountains all around and the Pacific Ocean in the distance. The grand hall is magnificent, with Air Force One and Marine One offering a glimpse into what it is like behind the scenes with the President. Great cafeteria and gift shop with reasonably priced food and souvenirs.

    A good place to spend the day. There is plenty to see and do and learn here. It’s a great place for kids and adults as well. I went to see the special Titanic exhibit, which was excellent. I stayed to see the multitude of collections of items from the various stages of this president’s life.

    My first Presitentail library to visit, I found it fascinating, insightful and very peaceful. If you're looking for entertainment or amusement you'd be better off at Disneyland. If you're interested in broadening your knowledge of global events and uncovering interesting details about President Reagan and those connected to him you most certainly won't be disappointed. Very well worth my time!

    This was the first time I visited a presidential library and I wasn't sure what to expect. As it turns out, it's just a museum about Reagan's life, but that's okay because I learned things I didn't know. It was really interesting - and I enjoyed touring through air force one and seeing the helicopter. There is also currently a Titanic exhibit and reading the stories about the real people on the boat was very interesting. Plus a bonus: amazing views from the patio at the back of the museum!

    My first presidential library visit, and I must say it wasn't at all what I expected. The foundation does an amazing job of providing a framework of Reagan's early and most formative years, laying the foundation of who generations of Americans after would know. The Oval Office and Air Force One are really cool, and honestly awe inspiring.

    Even as a huge Reagan fan, I promised myself I would look through a critical view of anything resembling "here is the great leader, see how great he is and he is getting greater all the time." The foundation makes sure we see the man that was Reagan, and all of his flaws that helped him be such a great leader.

    Recommend the tour for everyone!!

    Lady on Air Force One had zero sense of humour.

    Doesn't matter what your political leanings are. This is a completely fascinating place. The views from the location are worth going up for alone!

    And did I mention you can go into Air Force 1 which is in the building!

    I love going to the Ronald Reagan Library it is so peaceful and everything is so lovely. The real reason I wanted to comment today was because I was just there is past weekend for the Titanic exhibit and I noticed for the first time how wonderful their staff is, from the the nice cashier at the ticket counter, the person giving direction, and holding a door for you to the young lady that rang us up in the cafe. Such wonderful people. I truly wish the whole outside world could be just like the amazing staff that walks the halls of the Regan Library. So I hope this helps anyone who is planning to take a visit and I really hope the message gets back to the wonderful staff. Thank you all and I will defiantly see you all again.

    Simply amazing. President Reagan picked the perfect spot of his Library - truly a reflection of who he was as a person and president. The highlights are the replica of the oval office, Air Force One and Marine One as well as the Berlin Wall exhibit. Go early as the parking lot gets full quickly.

    Our daughter and her friends absolutely loved the interactive exhibits that recently ended. There is always something new however and really, it's pretty hard to see it all in a day. That makes for another reason to return. Prices shouldn't shock anyone, it's not a free public library and you should know that up front. Yes, parking is limited but there is a shuttle and it runs on a schedule. Once again, this is not a secret. Really a must see if you're in the area and can spend a whole day to take your time and enjoy it.

    We loved it!
    We have always loved Ronald Reagan and the values that he stood for. This beautiful museum is an amazing tribute to Ronald Reagan and his wife Nancy. His love for God, his wife, and fellow Americans is an inspiration. There was so much more to learn about this incredible man than we thought we already knew. Ronald Reagan's Air Force One plane (which can be walked through) is inside a glass wall building overlooking the valley. A beautiful setting on a hilltop with amazing panoramic views of Simi Valley. Highly recommended!
