I feels like the entrance fees are a bit high when most things are not even open. It is beautiful there but not real impressed with only 2 places open.

Visitor center and museum were great. His home is closed for renovation and the library is pretty much empty. Paid full rate to see half. Don't go until after renovations have been completed.

The museum was great but, as others have said, the gift shop, library and home were all closed yet the hours on the gift shop and library showed they should have been open! Masks were mandatory as well and we were unprepared so we had to buy some there.

Where are all the the cool displays in the museum like they use to have, like the model train places have that was nice and made it different from all other museums

Angela Yocum | Jul 19, 2022
Linda P | Jul 19, 2022

Angela Yocum, I'm not sure what you mean. From my perspective, the entire Dwight D. Eisenhowe Museum was filled with "cool displays" in every single area I entered from start to finish. What displays were you expecting to see that aren't there now?

Are there motorized scooters available to rent?

Eveline Durham | Jun 19, 2022

We do have wheelchairs available however we do not have motorized scooters.

Which building is President Eisenhower buried in?

Ryan Begin | Mar 21, 2022
Gayl Elliott | Mar 21, 2022

President Eisenhower is buried next to his wife and infant son in the chapel of the Eisenhower campus in Abilene Kansas.

Do you need a reservation to visit the museum?

Florian Rothbrust | Oct 17, 2021
Brigitte Barton | Oct 17, 2021

Yes. You need a reservation to visit the museum. You can purchase a ticket online through their website. They will then email your ticket(s) to you. You may NOT purchase at the museum at the current time. The museum and chapel are currently the only things you may tour. The childhood home, gift shop, and presidential library are still closed and not available for touring. I just visited the museum this week, and it is well worth the price of admission.

Best parking area for rvs?

T Z | Oct 18, 2019
Anne Gibbs | Oct 18, 2019

They have a nice open parking lot, I think you could find a spot in the back or along with the side of the lot. Depending on the size of your RV you could also likely pull through a parking spot and park in 2 spots.
