Reagan Library
 

We would like to visit the Reagan Library this Wednesday before we leave California. Is there a lot of walking? (At the moment, I have some mobility issues.) Also, are most of the exhibits outside or in? I believe the temperatures are forecast in the 90's.

Inside. You can be dropped off at the front entrance. Walking is about the same as any average museum, you walk from exhibit to exhibit. Lots of benches and lots of people taking breaks. The only section that requires a longish walk is to Air Force One.
If the parking lot is full you must park out on the road, but a shuttle goes back and forth to the entrance so just sit in your airconditioned car until you see the shuttle pulling up.
There is a nice café.
I'm not sure where in L.A. you are staying but there is a lot of traffic until 10am and then leaving the museum after 3pm, so plan accordingly.

...forgot to add that there are wheelchairs available in the lobby should you need one (free).

It should not take long to see both books.

Visited the Reagan library with my 89 year old father- a lifelong Democrat.
Even he was impressed.

Beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean. No wonder President and Mrs Reagan chose this as their final resting place.
Try not to miss seeing Air Force One.
Well worth a visit

Thank you all. Sounds worthwhile and do-able!

There is a huge wildfire near Santa Clarita. Lets hope that the wind does not shift and smoke the area while you are there. Some of the smoke has made it as far as Las Vegas.

Right now, and until August, there is a special exhibit there called "Vatican Splendors". You can read about it here.

I recommend it highly. You should get a timed entry ticket. You can do this online or maybe by phone.

It took us about 2 hours to walk through the exhibit.

No smoke there today. I live a few miles away.

If you've ever flown a Boeing 707, you'll recognize the exterior of the Air Force 1 they have there, but not the interior.
