Very educational - I thought it was very informative and changed my perspective on some things about the President. I liked his childhood home and the details of his not a quitter attitude.

The story behind the headlines - Very well done and they didn’t skip over the Watergate story in fact they started with it! It was a beautiful day so we enjoyed the peace and beauty of the gardens too. I had no idea just how many good things he had achieved while in office and so interesting to compare with the current Republican worldview.

President Nixon’s... - President Nixon’s reflection on his life, especially Watergate were so honest and moving. The whole Library was amazing. It brought back so many memories, good and sad. At times I was fighting back tears.

History 🇺🇸🇺🇸 - Such a well done library! Thoroughly enjoyed learning a few things we didn’t know about the President. Well ahead of the times with his brilliance and ingenuity. Highly recommend the tour.

More than most presidential libraries! - We had such a wonderful time touring President Nixon’s -place of birth and childhood home. He and his wife are buried there. The museum is gorgeous with displays that will amaze you. It’s a great piece of American history celebrating the accomplishments of a President that history has tried to erase.

A first rate presidential museum. - A very well balanced portrait of Richard Nixon and his time as president. Enjoyed the tour of the Nixon childhood home and helicopter. Also a nice final resting place for President and Mrs. Nixon. I always enjoy visiting the museum if I am in the area. He was an inspirational person for me.

Nixon library - I loved being able to tour marine one. The film was very well done and beautifully documented Nixon’s impact on the environment, our national parks and foreign policy. The exhibits were very well done.

Very Well Balanced Museum - The Nixon Presidential Library & Museum was my 8th presidential museum and it was another winner. I appreciated that the museum was so well balanced—it showed many of the positives of Nixon’s presidency that I don’t think many people consider—things like creating the EPA and passing the Endangered Species Act. But it was balanced and had what I thought was a very honest exhibit on Watergate. It was a really great mix of exhibits and videos. We also enjoyed seeing his birth home and helicopter. We were disappointed that we couldn’t find his gravesite—we’re not sure how we missed it.
I did think that the museum went in a very strange order—you start with his presidency, right through his resignation and then move into his youth, his Navy service and his Senate career. Just kind of an odd flow, especially compared to the other seven museums I’ve toured.
But overall, definitely worth a stop if you’re in southern California.

Lots of interesting information about his presidency. He is a great person trying to make differences. - I like his fighting spirit, that he was not a quitter, yet admitting his mistake when things went wrong.

Visit to Nixon Library - Although I did not receive an email with my tickets, when I arrived at the Nixon Library my tickets were in their computer so I was good to go. We did enjoy our tour of the library. To top it off they had a concert by the Air Force traveling band which made it more enjoyable. The staff was very accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable. Excellent way to spend an afternoon.
