I went on my tour during the Covid period. That being said, my tour guide Bob gave me the best one on one tour of my first Presidential library. Being born during the Nixon presidency I was a little young to remember many details but Bob filled me in on many things that I never knew about Nixon. I enjoyed every second of the tour and can’t wait to visit again after the pandemic. Thanks!

As a wedding planner, I get to work at so many different venues. Laura at the Nixon and Ana with White House Catering was amazing to work with. Load in was easy. Communication was easy and both vendors are very responsive. They have beautiful grounds for first look and bridal pictures. It was rich in history and truly made for a timeless and elegant venue. Highly recommended.Wedding Planner: Dee Lee DesignsPhotography: Erich Chen PhotographyFloral: The Flower Boutique

I may not like the man but I do respect the office. It is so fantastic to be able to visit a presidential library and observe the life, career, and legacy of Nixon. This museum is totally worth a visit. You can see Nixon’s childhood home, helicopter, and learn about the turmoil he faced during his presidency. Everything is accessible and well kept. It’s thumbs up from everyone.

For me, this is one of the more interesting of the presidential libraries. But then again, for better or worse, Nixon was one of the more interesting presidents. The museum has the normal things that a presidential library museum has, but it was built on the grounds of his birthplace, which is one of the highlights of the compound. However, to me, the most exciting piece on the grounds is he helicopter that was Marine One on the day that Nixon left the White House. While you cant take photos inside, you can take one standing at the top of the stairs flashing the victory sign like he did the final time that he boarded it.

Surprisingly amazing! Really well thought out attention to details, highly interactive exhibits (some with mesmerizing advanced integrative technology), lots to see and explore, and overall classy vibe.Highlights Nixons life pretty fairly. He did sink to some pretty detrimental lows, but as he said himself, Only if you have been in the deepest valley, can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain. That pretty much summarizes how the museum portrayed him. They presented a detailed timeline of Nixons demise and how he went from running an epic first term to the Watergate scandal to his road to recovery and subsequent legacy. Some might have a hard time reconciling the awesome parts with the shady parts, but admission was reasonable and we felt like we got our moneys worth with all the informative and tasteful exhibits. P. S. If youre a panda fan, you might find it highly interesting how we ended up getting pandas in the US, thanks to Pat Nixon and Chinese government officials! (See the panda pic I included for full details.)

We loved the President Day events. It was half off and they had actors dress up as old presidents. They let you take pictures with them. They had FDR on a real horse. We can see Nixons childhood home. They had a piece of the Berlin wall. My only complaint is I wish they a cafeteria or place to buy food. They only had a very small stand with coffee and very little options.

Came here for a wedding this weekend. the garden area (outdoor reception) was very pretty and perfect weather on a january afternoon. the ballroom reception area is very grand with good sound system and ample room for dancing. servers were polite and helpful. food was alright (i think it was dc caterers?) we were allowed to walk around the library from 4-5pm during the cocktail hours.

This museum is one of the finest I’ve ever been in, and I would expect nothing less for such a great historical figure and once President of our nation. Even if you’re not a fan of Nixon, for whatever reason, there are plenty of cool exhibits that are unrelated to him. The Oval Office experience was fantastic, especially with the picture of earth right next to his desk.. so cool

A compelling, one of a kind museum! Visiting this museum definitely transformed my perspective on Richard Nixon. Regardless of your political views, this museum provides personal and family history. He was more than just a Watergate Scandal. There is an re-creation of the Oval Office to resemble the White House. Outside, there is a garden with absolutely breath-taking view and has Nixons original house that he grew up in. In addition, there is also an actual Marine helicopter he has used. If history isnt your cup of tea, I do not recommend you to visit as the exhibits revolve a timeline of Richard Nixon. Regardless, you should come with an open mind filled with curiosity!

We came for a large company Christmas luncheon. It is a nice facility with a large banquet hall decorated to 19th century decor. Felt like you were in the presidential ball room. The food was really good with good service at our tables. Beautiful decorations at Christmas time with a nice Christmas tree.

Richard Nixon was a complicated man and president. He accomplished a great many things, but is really only remembered for a small scandal that was blown way out of proportion. This museum shows the man behind the slander. The man who did what he thought was best for the US. after coming here I have a new appreciation for President Nixon. It is worth coming here to see the real man and not the villian so many political opponents paint him as.

Although not as grand as the other presidential libraries it is nevertheless the most interesting. They have expanded the place and included information about the Watergate scandal. The museum also gave a proper tribute and honor to Sen. John McCain. That is very nice of them. Id really like to go back here again.

Went yesterday for the Apollo 11 exhibit. I had my mom and grandmother with me. It was awesome to learn how so much of Southern California had a hand in making this mission possible. I especially loved the fact that my mom kept finding things behind the glass, that they had owned at that time, even down to a little green ashtray that belonged to my grandma! My grandmother has dementia. She may not remember what happened 10 minutes ago, but if it was years ago; shell remember. This whole exhibit put a huge smile on her face, and that made me happy as well. Thank you so much, Ill definitely return.

We had a great time at the Nixon Library and Birthplace. The grounds are beautiful and well taken care of. All of the staff and volunteers are very nice and have tons of historical knowledge about President Nixon and his family. I definitely recommend watching the opening film (approximately 15 minutes) - it gives a great overview of Nixons life and his entire political career. The video correlates with the overall layout of the library, as well.The library does a great job walking through each year, major event, and/or crisis of the Nixon presidency - and his life leading up to and after his presidency.A few fun thing to do:Visit the home President Nixons father built and the family lived in for 10 years. The house sits on its original property, and many of the articles inside are originals.Visit the Marine One helicopter. President Nixon took his last flight on this Marine One helicopter following his resignation from office. You can enter the helicopter but cannot take photos.Lastly, purchase a Presidential Library passport in the gift shop and get it stamped. And take it to all of your future presidential library visits!

I spent two hours here (not enough time) learning about Nixons time as president and his life before and after the presidency.My favorite part of the museum was the oval office, which was made to look as it did during Nixons administration. I was admiring the orange furniture remembering my childhood when I was told the color was actually California gold. I was blown away! Photos are allowed and I got a great picture of me sitting at the presidential desk.The museum is complete with beautiful grounds, Nixons childhood home and his helicopter. If you are interested in NASA or space there is also plenty of information on the space program as he was the president who completed Kennedys mission to put Americans on the moon. The museum comes complete with recordings of him speaking to astronauts including those from the Apollo 11 and 13 missions. There is also a fascinating display on Mrs. Nixons clothing and fashions and gifts given to the Nixons during while they were in the White House. Theres lots to read and younger children might want to zoom through the museum faster than you would like so keep that in mind. This is an amazing, must see museum!

When I hear Richard Nixon, I often jump to Watergate, something I knew little about. But there’s so much more to his political endeavors.He desegregated schools in the south, signed Title IX, created a comprehensive foreign policy, increased the hiring of Hispanics and women in the Executive branch, started OSHA, opened communication and relations with China after decades of silence, and so much more.Yes, watergate was a scandal that goes much deeper than wiretapping a hotel, but his legacy goes even further. “To say that Nixon was the most complicated personality to occupy the Oval Office is barely to touch the surface” -Walter Cronkite, CBS anchor and celebrated reporter

Went their after their closure for renovations. Just great. So informative. I went with the group and we had guide. Too bad 2 hours just simply not enough. They have old style TVs all over playing news from Watergate era.Mrs. Nixon clothes and just beyond words jewelry - huge diamonds and emeralds and other precious stone on display! The size of necklaces unbelievable, was gifted by Saudi Arabian king. They have original house where Mr. Nixon was born! With many original furniture, and helicopter - the one he flew out of White House! So cool. Next time planning to spend whole day. Also several years ago they had free concerts for local community. I dont know if they will continue that.

Fantastic site. A MUST SEE for tourists and locals.Never imagined how nice this is.This site was above and beyond what I expected. Way better than I expected. Everyone who was born from the 1950s on should see the site. It drips history and knowledge - even the kids were absolutely mesmerized by the aviation exhibit, and all of the presidential exhibits for the public to see.You will not be disappointed by this featured exhibit/library, and should be definitely on the list you need to see - when visiting the Los Angeles and Southern California area!!!

Nixon Library ended up being the very first venue that we toured and I immediately fell in love. The ballroom with the chandeliers are absolutely stunning, the garden with the immaculately cut grass and bright cheerful flowers were gorgeous. I knew right away that this is where we needed to get married. Once we officially signed with them - everything was such a breeze. Between Jenny and Jackie, no detail was overlooked. They answered my 15 million emails with questions in a quick and timely manner, and for that I will be forever grateful. Thank you both for helping us plan the wedding of our dreams! I highly recommend this venue - not only for it’s beauty, but for the staff as well. Thank you again for being apart of our day!

Unfortunately because of the Trump Admin Shutdown, 50% of this place is closed. I will have to return on a later date. I still got to see some of the sights like the helicopter but it was closed. The guides still offered tours of his home. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The fountain and flower gardens are still open for viewing. Overall, a very great place to visit to learn the history of Nixon and the USA.

Since the renovation in 2016, the library museum has been given a fresh makeover and has added many interactive exhibits. Its not as large as the Reagan museum library in Simi Valley; but nonetheless, it is more compelling. Granted, Watergate is what comes to mind when one thinks of the Nixon administration; but the well (and in my humble opinion, balanced) presented exhibits challenges that misconception. The enigma that is Richard Nixon is complicated and the library museum certainly depicts just that. Contrary to the larger Reagan library museum that is overtly skewed to just the loyalist and the converted, the Nixon library museum presents all aspects of his life and political journey. The exhibit on the Watergate debacle is not only astonishing but gives one pause on how fragile a democracy can be. Unfortunately, this is a lesson we have not heeded well.

Recently refurbished and remodeled, my third POTUS library. Very neat did not know he traveled to China and USSR being the Regan Library portrays Ron as the world traveler yet Dick went to these communist countries!!! Plus you have the house he was born and learn about how he lost and lost yet never stopped until the tapes. Also he is the true native son of California as Ron was born in Illinois. Dicks wife had the Oval Office carpet ocean blue with the drapes being the golden color for the famous hills of our state. His brother, one of 5, is still alive and in his 80s and visits the grounds often.

Review №49

Very impressive. Enough time has passed so the initial white wash of the events has been removed and a more truthful story is presented. Wonderful description of his life prior to the election and the achievements of his presidency. Very detailed descriptions of his crimes and how he left office. Finally, his life after the presidency until his death. It is great to see the house where he spent his childhood and the presidential helicopter. This is a fraction of the size of the Reagan library, but I liked the feel of the information as how it was presented. Fine special exhibit of the Apollo 11 mission. Free parking; no restaurant on site, but many in the area. Great staff for the most part, but it was very hard to understand one of them. We just redid the house tour with another as they constantly rotate their stations throughout the day.

A wonderful library with great American sources and all there is to know about president Richard Nixon. An ideal place to learn,discover and have a close look at information about the Vietnam war also research Nixon’s political and personal history. The little house where President Nixon was born still intact at the original location in Yorba Linda and the best part is that you can get a tour inside the house. It was truly a pleasant experience walking into a one hundred year old house with all of it’s furniture and family pictures hanging on the walls, I highly recommend taking the tour inside the cozy house.The garden is gorgeous, green with colorful roses, bunnies and birds everywhere really beautiful.

Wonderful museum with plenty of history that defined Ex-Pres Richard Nixons administration. Museums exhibits are really well organized, neat and very educational. Personally, my favorite part of the museum is the timeline of the Watergate scandal and the downfall of Nixon asUS President. The museum, outdoor garden and Nixons birthplace house sits on a 9 acre land. Admission is relatively affordable. Parking lot is huge. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. A must see museum for families and every American who want to get to know Richard Nixon as a president, as a man and a husband.

Review №56

Had a good visit. Was fortunate to have one of the guides give me a brief run down of what to look for just outside the brief video/movie on Nixons career.The location of the Nixon library is not the best. The library is located in a suburb with fast food restaurants just down the street. The compound is only 8 acres. It would appear that this site was selected because of the house which was at one time owned by Nixons father. Nixon was born in the house and spent the first 9 years of his life there.To me to make my visit worthwhile, there has to be something to see here that I cant read about or see elsewhere. Here are some of the things you can see.1) Nixons birthplace home.2) Marine helo used by Nixon when he resigned.3) Pat Nixon rose garden4) Reflecting pool5) Piece of the Berlin Wall.6) A few gifts to the White House from foreign heads of state. (There arent many of these)Other than the above, there are few statues and gowns once worn by Pat Nixon but not really too much. This library was a lot less crowded than the Reagan Library and there were no special exhibits on display.

This was my 4th visited presidential library. Ever since I started this quest I’ve found each one well done. For the presidents that was before my time you only know a little bit from the history books and if you’ve tried you can read more about it.However, this library does an amazing job to focus on the other aspects of Nixon’s life and political career outside of just watergate.I also really enjoyed this library because they have the actual helicopter that is shown in his iconic departure picture. You even get to board it and take pictures.This location allows you to sit at the presidential desk and take pictures too!

A clean, up-to-date, and surprisingly modern look at Nixons presidency. The museum gives an overview of the man and his presidency that is just as biased as youd expect from a hometown museum built by his family and supporters before it was part of the National Archives system. But, surprisingly, the Watergate portion of the museum was remarkable straightforward and presented all facts -- good, bad and ugly -- in surprising detail with astonishing clarity.Outside of the museum, you can view Richard and Pats graves, the house where Richard grew up, and the helicopter (Army One, later Marine One) that he used as President and from which he gave his famous farewell salute.If youre a Presidential history buff, this place is worth a visit.Note - parking is free, museum entry is $16 for adults.

He was the only President Ive ever seen in person. 1968 Ontario International Airport. I was 7 years old when my Mom took me out their. I remember him standing in that doorway of that jet and the crowds of people chanting Nixon now more then ever, Nixon now I felt like I was reliving an episode of the Wonder Years in that place. Really not enough time in the day to soak it all in. Really wanted a t shirt but medium seemed to be the biggest size they had. A tour of the presidential helicopter, his parents house and gardens were spectacular. Full of history around every corner. God Bless America and thanks to all who keep this place running.

There isn’t an actual library, but an archive. I especially liked the outdoor setting with the actual home of Nixon and the gardens.Minus one star, because I realized this place isn’t a smoke free zone. So people who work there even smoke outdoors near the pool area. This was very disappointing cause I brought my child with me and she had to experience secondhand smoke.Other than that I found this place to be a delightful experience. Free parking and lots of parking space. The admission fee is $16 for adults, $6 for children 5 to 11, and free for kids 4 and under.

I enjoyed The Richard Nixon Library and Museum very much. I was 9 years old when he took office, so at that time I didn’t remember very much of what he did. The museum is very informative and it guides though the Johnson Presidency and the direction of the country at that time and all the way through to Nixons departure. The house that President Nixon was born in is on the property and so is the Presidential Helicopter.

We came with little expectation, thinking that this library/ museum would extoll his accomplishments and gloss over Watergate. We left with a new opinion of his presidency. President Nixon was born in Yorba Linda and one can visit his humble home located on the grounds. A docent gave us a very informative narrative of his young life and background. The exhibits showed many artifacts from his life and his presidency which highlighted the ending of US involvement of the Vietnam War, re-opening of talks with China and of course Watergate. There is a replica of the Oval Office and the Marine One helicopter. Both President and Mrs. Nixon are buried on the grounds in a beautiful garden.

Yorba Linda, California.I always knew this amazing museum/library/archive existed nearby but never bothered to visit. No clue why that is since one of my goals to visit every presidential libraries/museum in America. These presidential centers are like football stadiums... Everytime we get a new one... Its twice as good as the old one.President Nixon was impeached. We dont see that often because its not easy to accomplish. Look at how much effort a couple democrats main goal at impeaching Pres. Trump has become but people like Feinstein and Pelosi block these efforts... Perhaps two of the most hated Californians want to keep El Presidente around. Either way, President Nixon had accomplished many great items on his agenda such as Civil Rights and blunders like Vietnam and Watergate. The greatest part are the details leading to such difficult decisions that impact the world for generations.All these events are detailed at the museum, granted with a favorable point of view for obvious reasons. Other items are showcased such as his birth home, Marine One helicopter, his tomb, childhood, education, accomplishments, controversies and some failures.All in all... Great place to scope out.Access/Roads: APavedParking: APlentyDistance: ALocated in NE Orange County.Appx 50 miles east of greater Los Angeles.Appx 15 miles east of DisneylandCosts: A$20Yorba Linda sucks.

Amazing museum, and plenty of neat exhibits. Presents the Nixon presidencies and lifetime in a very different light than they most often are. The birthplace is also great to see. So is Nixons helicopter. Too bad they arent open longer. Get there early to be able to see everything inside. super-informative. I think everybody should visit this museum.

More modest than the Reagan library and museum, but its very to the point. Everything you see, hear or experience is relevant. Many times I was challenged to think for myself about choices that were made. The birthplace is super cute and the Oval office very cool since you can really step inside. The Watergate part is what amazed me the most. All evidence, be it documents, interviews, is presented neutrally and you can draw your conclusions yourself. Well done

Interesting that this was the only place in the whole United States that would even have Richard Nixons library (his own birthplace). It is a fine exhibit that is ongoingly uncovering and presenting the infamous Nixon tapes. The grounds are beautiful. It is a good stop if you want to review some history and get some tangible hands-on experience with some of the historical items presented. Altogether a good stop for tourists.
