- Maria COlympia, WA8 contributionsWonderful gardens, koi ponds, and waterfalls. So much to see and plenty of shaded areas and benches to sit on when you need a rest.

- xalxBrisbane, Australia120 contributionsI enjoyed our visit. It's quite expensive for what it is, but it's well laid out and lots of different animals to see. It's not really an aquarium, but a jungle walk cross small aquarium.
We went on a Monday afternoon and it was pretty busy so on weekends I can picture it as mayhem. The layout makes it a bit of a one way route you follow along which I like as you definitely can see everything if you follow the trail. It took us 4 hours to complete but we lingered on a lot of animals and stopped twice for food/drinks.
Two main concerns - the cages for animals seem a bit small and concrete-y. Enrichment is so important and I'm not totally convinced it's front of mind here. The giant otters have very little space for swimming.
Secondly, they don't tell you what you're looking at. Ever. Like anything. You are left to guess by matching the photo to the animal from the brochure which doesn't have all the animals in it. If you wanted to know anything about the animals, you have to google it in your phone.Written May 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- California_momofsixFairfield1,121 contributionsOverall, we really enjoyed our visit at the library and highly recommend it. The displays range from curiosities (every day life in White House, gifts from foreign dignitaries etc.) and reminders of more serious historical events. The 9/11 area was especially moving. Whether you are a fan of the Bush family or not, the museum is engaging and thought provoking. There is a nice balance between written information, movie clips and artifacts, very well organized and well presented.
Our favorite was the presentation on the situation room given by one of the docents. He was so knowledgeable and charismatic, I learned a lot about the presidential library system and about crisis management in the White House, absolutely fascinating. This presentation is only given a few times a day, don't miss it.
I had to take one star away because staff seemed completely overwhelmed by the large number of visitors. Did nobody realize that on solar eclipse weekend, there would be larger crowds? How could the library not be prepared at all. At opening time, two large lines formed in the courtyard. We thought the shorter one would be for people already with tickets but no, there was no rhyme or reason and everyone was pushing into the same small entrance door. Fortunately we did end up in the shorter line. The bottleneck was created by the fact that there was only one scanner and two security guards operating it. There was no staff in sight anywhere outside. If staff had come out, created a single line, or separated out those with tickets, or those who had no purses, the process could have been sped up. When a lady working there finally appeared, she looked frazzled and ran back inside without making any announcements. The same lady later gave us the wrong information as to where to line up for the docent presentation and if we hadn't seen the docent walk by we would have missed it. Please contact the Reagan library about doing some basic training on how to manage visitors.
Parking is in a gated lot across the street and costs a flat fee of 10 dollars.Written May 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There is not much to see but just standing there where JFK was assassinated hits big. The plaza is clean and easy to get to. The brown picket fence is an exact replica of the original.Written April 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
