I had a wonderful time visiting the Nixon Library. There were many fascinating and thoughtful displays, presenting a surprisingly candid look into the life of the often-maligned, but extraordinary life of the former President of the United States. The docents were amazing, and a special shout-out goes to to Terrie for the extra help with photos.
I went here today and it was an amazing experience. Me and my friend are both poli sci majors and went to this museum during break. History is so amazing and lots of information about some of the most impactful times in America! Loved learning about Nixon and the tour guides were so sweet! Learned a lot, and even picked up my own copy of the declaration of independence at the gift shop! Lots to see, nice staff, just an amazing experience! Bought tickets right there! No wait and super nice female staff!
This review is based on my candlelight concert experience at this venue, and isn’t reflective of the venue as a whole since the performance was held in one room. The concert featured music by The Beatles performed by the Orchid Quartet. I assumed we were in some sort of ballroom and seeing the walls, paintings, and chandeliers lit by hundreds of candles was truly a magical experience. I left the concert moved, exhilarated, and excited to book my next concert, specifically at this venue. Highly recommend booking zone A seats for the best views. It’s worth the price.
Had never been here before till granddaughter's graduation from kindergarten. Don't know why, what found it to be very interesting. Nice lady docent gave us a quick tour of the house that nixon was born in. I forget her name, but she's the right person for that job. Love the rose gardens.
I went to see Queen versus ABBA Candlelight concert by Orchid Quartet on a whim. The large room the concert was held in was perfect for the event. It had a huge chandelier, it was small enough to feel really intimate, and the acoustics were great. The event was held after the library was closed, so there was plenty of parking and not a lot of people wandering around.
