A very interesting and informative presidential library for all ages. Be warned, even though you turn off onto the road to the Library , it is still a long drive until you get to the actual venue.

The holiday lights & the Pompeii tour are separate so expect to pay twice, if you want to see both. Also the walk up the hill is a bit too much for seniors or those with leg or knee issues. Nice view

Melissa Cabrera

There is a wonderful view , and the staff is really nice if you do as they say. They might get a little bit annoying if you don't do as you're bid.

Rich Allen Realtor

I waited in line at the rotunda when President Reagan 's casket was there for those to pay respect too. Now I've seen his final resting place. Must see for anyone traveling to the area!

Rachel K

The better of the two presidential libraries in California (other is Nixon's). Slightly more interactive but still would benefit from a room or two on context for those of us born after.

They have a area for picnics with tables and trees ,very relaxing and be prepared for lots of walking at least 2 hours to visit all of the exhibits

La Jolla Mom

I am surprised by how kid-friendly it is. My 6-year-old enjoyed the videos, walking through Air Force One and listening to the docents tell stories. Awesome.

Raymond Arturo

Attended an event under the Air Force One: a beautiful space both inside and out. Look forward to visiting soon!

Dave Lepkowski

views are pretty good. Ronnie is a better president than the current occupant of the white house

eric bornemann

A ridiculous white-wash of a complicated presidency that is only interested in portraying one side of history. The creepy cult member like docents are all a bit too over eager.

Penny Grothjan Norris

Fabulous tribute to the greatest president of my lifetime! Tour his Air Force One and touch a section of the Berlin Wall !

George Cass

Best museum I have ever been to. Truly makes you appreciate the service of the Reagan family.

Randle McMurphy

Where it's always morning in America...Even in the afternoon! The snack bar is great including cookies made from jelly beans and real pieces of the Berlin Wall . It's outta sight hombres

Waleed

The presidential plane that was used by Mr Reagan. The plane is placed in the museum and open for public to visit.

Cale Thatoneguy

This place is cool. They have the real air force one there. It's kind of out there but it's really cool.

Winnie Khoo

Interactive exhibits , guest speakers like Canadian PM Justin Trudeau

Mike Sugimoto

Great exhibits . Loved the old Air Force One

Josh Goldberg

A great Disney exhibit will be here until April with many never before seen artifacts , from both past and present.

Josh Goldberg

A new Abraham Lincoln exhibit just opened. It will only be there for a few months. Some amazing exhibits .

One benefit of the Guidecam is if you didn't bring your camera . You can take 40 pics or 16 one minute videos and email them to yourself.

JB Faby

Be sure to check out the Air Force One pavilion and the Oval Office Replica.

Sarah Spagnolo

When you get onto Air Force One, don't be surprised to see a strange mannequin. A little creepy. Still smells like a plane , too.

Babette Canton

Don't bother renting the Guidecam audio tour . With the media displays and signage, its sensory overload and will make the tour longer.

If you must get the Guidecam, have a credit card ready, since they require a $50 deposit and don't tell you that at the ticket desk.

Katherine Coles

Interesting for Americans and visitors alike. Very moving updated Nancy Regan memorial.

Miguel Escobar

I'm a liberal Democrat and I really enjoyed the library . Really amazing in terms of content and history. Freedom is not limited by party lines !

Presidential Libraries

On April 12, 1990, President Ronald Reagan stood next to a 6,338 pound, 9 ½ foot tall piece of the Berlin Wall that had just arrived for display at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum.

Andrew Ramsey

It's huge so don't get too hung up reading the entire first half

Suraj Dalsania

This time, its auto expo, and Christmas theme.... Its awesome.... And that sunset !!!! Wow....

Presidential Libraries

The Library 's holdings include 50 million pages of Presidential documents, over 1.6 million photographs , a half million feet of motion picture film and tens of thousands of audio and video tapes.

RJ

Amazing museum ! But lots of cranky workers ????

Carol D

An impressive, well designed and informative library - well worth your time!

Chanda Parbhoo

The scenic views were the best

Jeff Vreeland

Very enjoyable time at the library . No need for the audio tour , everything is described well along the tour .

Tom G

Very moving and powerful! What a great tribute to such a great man!

Candice Melton

Even if this is out of your way, it is worth it.

Melinda Jackson

There is a pub inside.

TIME

In 1981, a then president-elect Ronald Reagan, who would take office during a severe recession, was optimistically named TIME's "Man of the Year."

Biz Traveldude

Definitely worth the drive out to Simi Valley

Kate Hughes

Disney exhibit was pretty awesome- as well as the Air Force 1!

 Deon Parcon

Worth the visit! The pub !

Nicolette Munoz

Really interesting stuff always on display. Don't miss Airforce One.

Ronda Hawkins

Awesome! !!!

Mary C

The pub doesn't have any beers on tap , just bottled, the whiskey is display. All grab and go pre-packaged foods. Eat at the cafe ! Student/educator membership $25! 10% merch discount for members.
