Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum, Simi Valley

Wonderful exhibits;(although it certainly overly glorifies the Reagan administration) all exhibits were well displayed and placarded well. The best feature of the visit is definitely the older B707 Air Force One and older Marine One. That was a treat! The docents and staff were all incredibly helpful and friendly. The library is well maintained and all restrooms are very clean. The Reagan Cafe deserves a highlight. There are a good variety of choices and the prices are reasonable; but, the commendation goes to staff member, Eileen. Eileen is what is missing in today's customer service. As others just go through the motion of service, Eileen embraces it and goes beyond just making you feel like a customer. The welcoming smile and enjoyable banter doesn't take much effort or time but it sure makes an incredible impression. KUDOS to Eileen!

It's situated on top of a hill in Simi Valley that provides panoramic vistas of the surrounding countryside. The displays are educational and there something to learn for kids and adults alike. They also have various rotating exhibits (most of which charge a fee) but the one around Christmas time is certainly a delight for the kids. Besides the displays and exhibits, the whole venue is relaxing and beautiful- it's a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of the city. If you live in the area it's welll worth getting a membership (plus it's tax deductible). The entire staff there is especially friendly and helpful. We love this place.
