I've been to nearly all the official Prez libraries and I would have to rank this one near the top. Nice layout and organized for easy viewing. You can tour the boyhood home for an additional fee. We chose not to bother with that. The grounds and memorial building were part of the general ticket. Good gift shop too. And the film at the Visitor's center was informative. My only complaint is that this library is the only one that does not have the president's desk from the White House on display!

We visited the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum because this past June was the 80th anniversary of D-Day. The museum is well done. History buffs and WWII buffs will really like it. For example, the museum has the table where Eisenhower and others planned D-Day. The museum also has the car used by Eisenhower in Europe. The best part was touring his boyhood home. Our tour guides were knowledgeable and entertaining. Although the library also had exhibits, we did not go to the library because of time constraints. We stopped into the chapel where General Eisenhower, his wife, and son are buried. We did not know about the introductory film in the gift shop and we did not have time to watch it once we learned about it. I suggest you start with the gift shop & watch the film. The price for the museum and boyhood home were very reasonable; $10 and $5 each (senior price purchased in advance). The price for most items in the gift shop was too much; e.g., a cotton throw for $70. Perhaps the gift shop did a price elasticity study but the prices did not seem worth it to me. Photos are allowed so I took a lot of photos. The grounds are beautiful. I suggest allowing at least 4 hours.

The Visitor Center is separate from the museum and the library. You can get your ticket at the visitor center and then watch a short film about Eisenhower's life. Then you walk to the museum to check that out. If you have mobility issues and need to limit your walking, I discovered from the museum staff that you can purchase your ticket online and then skip the visitor center and go directly to the museum. You have to make sure that you either print your ticket or you're able to show your ticket on your phone to the people in the museum. In skipping the visitor center, you will forgo the short film about Eisenhower's life but there are a number of films in the museum that you will be able to see once you get there. Nice museum with a lot of information about Eisenhower's military service as well as his focus on peace during his presidency.

There is free parking at the entrance. You have the option to visit the museum or the museum in combination with a guided tour in the house where Eisenhower spent his childhood. We chose to only visit the museum. You can buy tickets at the visitor center. It is also there that an introductory film is shown. The museum has two main parts: His life until the end of World War 2 and his presidential period.

Tremendous place to observe true American history as it is. This site is well worth the time spent to stop and take it all in. The museum is a well-spring of history and information of American leadership, strength, and resilience. The story of Eisenhower is very well set forth so as to display his legacy. The museum is worth the hour or two it takes to see all of the exhibits.

We took my 88 year old Mom and enjoyed our day at the museum/home/library tremendously!
We thought we knew a lot about this man but we learned so much and could have spent even more than the 4 hours we stayed there. We brought a picnic lunch and ate on the picnic tables set up on the lawn, picturing Mr Ike living there with his 5 brothers and parents in old time America. The place really made us appreciate this caring, intelligent, hard-working man with amazing leadership abilities. The USA, and even the world, would not be the same today without his (and Mamie’s) giving of himself on behalf of his country. Well worth the drive and the cost of admission.
