My wife and I have been to virtually all of the presidential museums and libraries and I have to say this one was just OK. It really didn’t have that many artifacts from the Clinton presidency. There was an 80s exhibit upstairs that was pretty interesting.

Interesting place to at least remember the 90s. Good exhibits and the people there are top notch. I especially like the fact that they owned both the good and bad parts of his presidency. The replica of the cabinet room and the Oval Office were neat. Lots of outdoor stuff to look at nearby as well.

We found this library by accident and decided to drop by. Although we did not do an in-depth look, it kept two school-age children busy for about an hour and allowed for more political and worldly discussions. Everyone working at the library was incredibly friendly and enthusiastic. Overall, this was a great stop for the whole family.

Modern architecture. Endless information. Great exhibits that are always changing. The presidential library is a must see.

All Presidential libraries are worthwhile, but some are better than others. This one suffers from focusing too much on just the achievements during Clinton's Presidency and not enough on personal details and Clinton's specific actions and relationships that made his Presidency so successful.

Food in the restaurant was good, and the grounds on the river were beautiful in the fall, however the museum itself was a snoozer. Very boring. It needs to be updated with some interactive displays or something interesting besides letters from celebrities. The Foundation room was closed. Didn't take long to go through it.

I'm not a Clinton fan but had a great time anyway learning about his Presidency. There's lots to see here plus special exhibits like the Beatles in America when we visited.

Came here on a Sunday, and I knew in advance this is only open 1 to 5. This a beautiful place, both architecturally and inside. Everything was in tip top shape with plenty of security and volunteers ready to answer questions. The washed ashore exhibition was a nice touch. Multiple displays very tastefully done, easy to navigate and understand. The only downside was not being able to take pictures inside the oval office. This was the only Presidential library I've been to where that was the rule, so I walked away with no pictures of the oval office ðŸ˜. You had to use their photographer and pay somewhere between 15 to 20 dollars for the photograph. Not a deal breaker but just an FYI. Highly recommended, despite your political views. Thanks for your public service.

Not mind blowing but worth the $10 bucks. The movie they show on the second floor was nifty. There’s some neat history, obviously, and if you were a Clinton #1 fan you’d probably love it more. The outside is aesthetically pleasing with plenty of walking.

About what you'd expect from a Presidential Library with memorabilia and information about the Clinton presidency including the First Lady. Staff very friendly. We liked the replicas of the Cabinet Room and Oval Offices. They also have exhibits that change-the one when we were there was on plastic and debris in the ocean. There is also a small bridge and the Library building itself has interesting architectural features

We had such a fun time visiting here today. We were especially excited to see the 90s exhibit that is currently here.

As a history buff, I like to visit as many presidential library I come across in my travels. President Clinton was president during some very monumental time. Lots of interesting info and the grounds around it had many scenic pathways close to and across the river. We rode little electric scooters that were for rent, around the place.

We just spent about 2 hours in the Clinton Library, not nearly long enough to even scratch the surface of all that is here. This library is full of pictures, mementos, artifacts, and paraphernalia from the 8 years of the Clinton presidency. There are a number of volunteer docents on every floor, and they are all super friendly, with lots of knowledge that they are happy to share regarding the Clinton years, the Cabinet Room, the Oval Office, etc.Ingrid is a docent in the Oval Office, and we spent about 15 minutes chatting with her, as she was SO informative about so many things regarding the Oval Office, as it looked when President Clinton was in power. She is knowledgeable and very willing to share many facts about the room, etc. Since we are from Canada, she also spent some time telling us about some other notable sites in and around the north part of the state, as that was where we were headed.The Library is well worth a stop. Our only regret is that we ran out of time.

Even though I didn't care for him or his wife, this is a really nice museum with lots of photos and history. It's a rip-off to get a photo at the (reproduction) resolute desk in the Oval Office. If you want a photo it's $15.00! ridiculous. Since this is supposed to be history.....how about something along the lines of Monica.....that was a big piece of history that was conveniently forgotten to be added.
