The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum is a must-see Southern California tourist attraction. Walk onboard Air Force One, act in a movie with Ronald Reagan, touch a piece of the Berlin Wall, and so much more.

I have been visiting historical sites and Presidential libraries for 10 years now, and the Reagan library is probably my favorite one so far! The museum is extremely high-tech and features countless artifacts relating the the Reagans’ lives and presidency, everything in the museum was amazing; the Christmas exhibit mesmerized me with its fragrances that I actually contemplated asking if they sold air fresheners of the scent! The museum is laid out so well, and the video shown that featured President Reagan’s voice honestly made me emotional as I remembered his struggle with Alzheimer’s and recalled watching his funeral in 2004. The museum is definitely a day trip, with so much to see and do, including statues, a piece of the Berlin Wall, and the graves of Ronald and Nancy Reagan on the grounds. It is probably the best I have visited to-date. I urge anyone with an interest in history to make a pilgrimage to the Reagan library; it’s a day you’ll never forget!

Reviewed By jimsT8632JU - Los Angeles, United States
Nice, moderately strenuous trail. The trail is mostly uphill on the way up to about 2800 ft. Open trail with nice view of the community below and of the 118 Fwy. Nice rocky hill sides and vegetation and flowers during Springs and after the rainy season. Bring hat, lotion and water. There is no public facility. The trail is not crowded. About halfway up, the trail branches to Hummingbird trail which will take you to the Canyon Oaks Dr. in Simi Valley. Once you reach the top, you can continue down to another trail or go back to the same trail.

Reviewed By JJKFETP - Schaumburg, United States
Although I went when the weather was a bit rainy and a sign was up about possible closures for rain, the employee on staff let me know and chatted before deciding to get me a tour of whatever I wanted to see. She was kind to have sympathy for someone who had driven a long ways and already put the $3 donation in the box. Her knowledge is outstanding, and she patiently answered my questions. The variety of things to see is worth your time.
