Fascinating!
This was way more than we expected, and we thought it was great! Seeing the day that the Twin Towers fell from the eyes of the President and all that went on behind the scenes was fascinating. We also really enjoyed the replica of the Oval Office. The woman working there had lots of stories and anecdotes about the office and various presidents. We really appreciated her! The only downside was we thought it was fairly pricy compared to other museums, and then adding having to pay for parking on top of that made for a fairly expensive afternoon. We’d still recommend it to folks though!

practical space for a practical man
We got a bit lost at first trying to find where the parking lot for this place was since it's not connected but is across the street but not on the same street from where we arrived. We were surprised to pay $15 for parking and that it was not part of the museum's admission fee as are other presidential library and museums we have visited. We spent 2.5 hours here from 10:45 to 1:15. It was insightful and informative but not as much so or as grand as his father's presidential library and museum. It is very well organized. We especially enjoyed viewing the recent paintings he's done that were hung on the lobby's walls AND wandering around the fun additional exhibit ("Laughter and Liberty").
