There's a very good reason people travel to Little Rock specifically to see the William J. Clinton Library and Museum: it's a first-rate presidential library chock full of fascinating historical records and information, in a beautiful, pleasant setting. When you vist, you'll find the docents and assistants invariably well-informed, polite, and helpful. Don't miss the film about Clinton's life and political career that's shown on a recurring schedule throughout the day — it's an indispensable preliminary to touring the museum. In addition to the wonderful educational historical resources in the museum, there's a first-rate gift shop and a good restaurant. The grounds of the museum are also noteworthy, with the Bridge to the Future at the doorstep of the museum, a now-unused old bridge crossing the Arkansas River that is the Ur-motif for the archaeology of the museum itself. The cypress trees planted on the grounds of the museum and the park surrounding them are also other wonderful attractions.

The library is a powerful memory of the Clinton presidency from 1993 until early 2001. The history lessons transcend political views, making it an interesting visit for anyone. The grounds also offer wonderful scenery and have great walking and running trails.

I walked in expecting a library, shelves of documents, maybe a display case or two. What I found was something else entirely. This isn’t just a collection of papers, it’s a time capsule—an immersive experience into President Clinton’s legacy, decisions, and the era he helped define. My family and I stood there, stunned at what we didn’t know. The exhibits pull you in, not just with facts, but with context and feeling. We sat at the President’s staff table, snapped photos in the replica Oval Office, and found ourselves taking a genuine interest in his life and presidency—something I didn’t expect to happen as deeply as it did. This visit changed our summer plans. Since then, we’ve explored two more presidential libraries, and we’re already mapping out a trail for next year. There is an entry fee, but it’s more than worth it. This place opened a door for us we didn’t know we wanted to walk through.

Regardless your feelings about Bill Clinton, this place is amazing. Very futuristic feeling, inside and out, and houses a nice collection of saxophones. Lots of detailed displays with artifacts and information giving insight into his policies and the thoughts behind them. The future gravesite of Bill and Hillary is also on the grounds.

In May 2025, we visited the William J. Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock, Arkansas. The Clinton Library is impressive. The displays are amazing and it is clean and well laid out. Even though I do not agree with many of Clinton's politics, I left having more respect for Clinton and what he accomplished as a US President. I highly recommend visiting the Clinton Presidential Library.

Staff, volunteers were kind and informative. Free guided tour is available. Highly reccomend for teenage/college age children interested in public service. Artifacts on display were varied and added value to the educational info provided. The grounds are a great way to stretch your legs and enjoy the views of the Arkansas River.

I thought there would be more to it, but apparently some galleries are being switched out right now. Still plenty of interesting info and we especially enjoyed the Oval Office replica. All the staff were very helpful and welcoming. A must-see if you’re in Little Rock!

Our RV park was literally just across the walking bridge from the Clinton Presidential Library, a spot I've had on my must-visit list for years. The stars finally aligned... except for the clock. We only had an hour, and let me tell you: that's barely enough time to appreciate the Oval Office rug, let alone the whole library. Pro tip: give yourself at least three hours. Maybe four if you're a history nerd (no shame). Bonus hot tip: seniors 62+ get a discount, your civic duty just got cheaper! Highlights? The replica Cabinet Room, the full-scale Oval Office (yes, you will imagine yourself making a State of the Union speech, and you can get a photo behind the desk, your friends will think it is legit!), and my personal favorite: the portrait gallery. It featured fan art and official portraits of Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea. Loved it. The whole place is run with heart, lots of volunteers, including my favorite: Rosie. They clearly put real care into the team here. Everyone we met was warm, informed, and clearly proud of the space. As they should be!!! A must-visit for presidential buffs, history lovers, and anyone who's ever dreamed of pulling up a chair in the West Wing.

Even better than I expected. We popped in 45 min before close but the person behind the counter assured me that we would have enough time to go through the thing and she wasn't wrong because it isn't terribly long. The exhibits for the replica of his oval office was very cool. I also enjoyed learning a bit about his and Hilary's history. FUN FACT: they live the next town over from me at home so I feel a bit of kinship with the Clintons. Definitely worth a visit if you have nostalgia for those days. Even though I was too young to really remember it, it was very interesting to learn about.

Another presidential library checked off the list! The architecture reminds me of a glass shipping container overlooking the Arkansas River. There are multiple floors, each with its own story to tell of the 42nd president's life and highlights events during his presidency... including the Monica Lewinsky debacle. Awkward. A replica Oval Office and Cabinet Room are great exhibits to drop by and experience. I especially liked the Cabinet Room where you can actually sit in one of the chairs around the table. There's an on-site restaurant (42 bar and table) with outdoor seating underneath the cantilevered structure; providing shade whilst offering views of the surrounding park space, the river, and the Clinton Presidential Park Bridge (formerly known as the Rock Island Railroad Bridge built in 1899). THE PARKING. There's a free parking lot for visitors. It's located adjacent to the library. THE RESERVATION. You can buy tickets at the entrance.

This review is for the exterior of the museum and the grounds around. This was a great area to take an outdoor walk. The lawn and gardens are well maintained. It was beautiful on a warm day in September. The exterior building is well crafted and cool to look at, it's just perfect in this location over looking the river. There is ample parking. If you can't walk to far there is a drop off loop as well. The walk was not hard not too steep. The sidewalk is well maintained. I was there on a Sunday morning. There is a restaurant called 42 under the building. Lots of people coming in to get the brunch which smelled amazing. The museum wasn't open yet but you can still go inside to use restroom or cool off in the AC. There is a bridge nearby that is easy to walk to and great to get a view of the river and the building. Fun adventure!!!

We're on a journey to tour every state capitol building (36 so far) and as many Presidential Libraires as possible, so while in Little Rock we stopped into the Clinton one. There is ample free parking out front. I liked some things about Clinton (the ability to look into a camera and convince others of his lies) and didn't like others like the war in Kosovo and senseless killing of civilians with countless missile strikes, so I went in with a grain of salt. I would give the Center no more than an hour to tour. The entrance price was $20 as a senior citizen. It was pretty empty the day we visited, so it was a breeze going through. There were some neat displays of him throughout the years. As with other Presidential Libraries (from both political parties), it's all a tribute to the man, often embellishing the facts. Is it worth it? Meh.

Interesting place to visit! Informative volunteers all over to answer questions. Gift shop is not huge but is nice, A new exhibit just opened- portraits of a President. It was interesting. One of his limos is there. Fun fact-the Clintons stay on the top floor here when in town and will be buried by his favorite tree on the property. Restaurant downstairs is yummy. You can look at binders and see what Clinton was doing on a certain day do we looked up my daughters birthday. It is not the museums fault but Palestine protesters were a little unnerving.

I was visiting AR for a few days and messed up my reservations due to the time zone but remedied the sitch and squeezed in a 1 hour run through of the library. The center and park are probably a great venue...when it's not humid as hell outside. We got there early before they opened (because I thought they were open at 10 am on Sunday) and walked halfway over the bridge and decided to turn back or melt. I then dropped my friend at the airport at 1 pm for her flight and thought, yeah, let's try squeeze that visit in before I, myself, need to be at the airport at 3:30. I was trying not to waste time inside by having to walk to and from the parking lot and decided to valet. The valet did me a solid after explaining my predicament and parked my car even though it's supposed to be only for the restaurant. All the staff inside were amazing, super friendly and very informative. They were always ready to point me in a useful and helpful direction. The building is easy to traverse and the place is ADA compliant. Fun trivial things I learned while at mid-sprint through the building. 1) there's a suite upstairs for the Clintons to stay at when they are in town. 2) he hired a local AR interior designer to do the Oval Office when he was in office. She was smart enough to know he would be an outstanding president and had the forethought to keep enough material so she could replicate the Oval Office in the library. I do wish I had more time to read and take the audio tour. But hey, that'll just be the first thing I do the next time I visit! You can dine at 42 for lunch during the week and brunch on the weekends.

The TOUR (90 mins), which goes through the three-floor levels, is a must. We learned great information and critical legislation that the Clinton administration did in the two terms (8 years). We enjoyed the Clinton Library and Museum and were glad we made the stop. The gift shop had good merchandise, and we bought several items. I recommend this Presidential Library and Museum.

It's my first time at the presidential library, very interesting. They have a replica of the Oval Office that you can take a pic in for a fee. They have a lot of screens that is documents the Clintion's presidency in addition to a lot of gifts that the president received. It's definitely a must visit if you're in Little Rock.

We were touring around Arkansas and Little Rock was on our agenda so we built in time to visit the Clinton Prez Center. $10 for seniors & $12 for adults. We spent about two hours here. The introductory film was good as were many of the displays on the second floor. If you read everything you could be here for a long time. We did a lot of selective skimming which was enough. We agreed that there was much of this history that we had forgotten about so that made this a very educational stop. The docents were all friendly, informative and eager to engage. The building and the grounds are both very attractive. The nearby free parking was a plus though the bridge construction does make it confusing finding your way here even with google maps.

Nice library. Full of Bill and Hillary history. The parking is free but we came on the Eclipse weekend and got charged $20 to park. It was posted on the net but I thought it was for some special event held at the library. Nope. Just to bilk money from you since more people were in town for the eclipse. The docents were great to talk to especially Jerry. She was very informative and just great to talk to. The Oval Office can be accessed for an inside look only if you allow yourself to be photographed at the Resolute desk. No pictures of the office unless you stand outside. No big deal and it was fun to do. Major hint... ask any docent for information about the Clintons. They have many insights to details not found on the library.

William J Clinton, or Bill Clinton, was our 42nd president. He served 2 terms, from 1993- 2001. You may best know former Bill Clinton for his scandal with his former intern, Monica Lewinsky, his musical ability to jam on his saxophone and maybe for his wife Hilary Rodham Clinton (although he did a lot during his presidency). Bill Clinton was the second president to be impeached (the first bring Andrew Jackson, our 7th president) for lying under oath to the federal grand jury and obstructing justice regarding the Monica Lewinsky scandal. He was acquitted later on. Bill Clinton was born by the name of William Jefferson Blythe III in Hope, Arkansas (which is about a 2 hour drive from Little Rock). His father died when he was 3 months old. His mother remarried Roger Clinton when Bill Clinton was 4 years old and moved to Hot Springs. It was in high school when Bill Clinton decided to change his name to Clinton. When Bill Clinton was a senior in high school, he was selected to go to Washington DC to be part of a special youth leadership conference. He was invited to the White House and met former President Kennedy (our 35th president). Bill Clinton was actually the first one in line to shake his hand in the White House Rose Garden (I can just picture how excited and eager he must have been to meet the former president). This was an impactful moment for Bill Clinton, as this led him down the political path. Bill Clinton went to Georgetown and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in International Affairs. He eventually went to law school at Yale (where he met his wife) and graduated from there in 1973. He became governor of Arkansas in 1979 until 1981. He won presidency with his running mate Al Gore in 1992 and then started serving in 1993. During his 2 year term, he did a lot of the economy with families in mind, which includes signing the Family and Medical Leave Act. This allowed for parents to take take unpaid leave to care for their newborn or a sick family member. During my visit with my husband, what I enjoyed most was seeing old photos of Bill Clinton when he was younger, photos of him and his wife and daughter. I wished there were more personal photos and information provided in his presidential library, like the other ones that I have visited (this is my 9th presidential library of the 13 currently available for the public to visit), as that is what I always look forward to when I visit these presidential libraries (I like going to these places to learn more about the former president as a person before he became the president). I didn't really like the layout of this library/ museum and felt that the timeline in one of the rooms was just overwhelming. There was too much information and eventually my eyes just glazed over. I guess I should not have been surprised that the Monica Lewinsky scandal was not covered in this presidential library, but in Richard Nixon's library, the famous Watergate scandal was covered briefly (although the actual tapes are displayed in Gerald Ford's presidential library if you wanted to know). Another thing I like looking at when I visit presidential libraries are the gifts that the former president and family receive. I felt that there were not that many displayed. Also kind of disappointed that there was not much information shared about the pets in the white house during his presidency (just one photo and a one liner but nothing more. In both former President Bushs' libraries, there are a whole section about their pets). I felt that this was my least favorite presidential library of the ones that I have visited so far. But I did like the current women's exhibit (but not sure if this is a permanent exhibit or not). William J Clinton Presidential Library is located in downtown Arkansas, with views of the Arkansas River. Admission is $12 for adults, $10 for senior citizens, $7 for children, $10 for college students and retired military. There is a restaurant on the bottom floor of this presidential library called 42 Bar and Table. There is also a small gift shop on the ground floor.

This Hoosier couple have our presidential Passport book and are working on seeing all 13 presidential museums/libraries. Ask at admit desk and they can tell you about it. Obama in Chicago should be completed by 2026. This facility is over the top impressive. Little Rock donated the 30+ acres, that is a win win. Next time we will bring our bikes. Bill and Hilary will both be buried here. Fords museum in Grand Rapids is where President Ford and is wife are laid to rest. LBJ is not, he and his wife are interned on their ranch. Ten more to go!! We took docent tour which is complimentary at scheduled times. Just review web site for those times. Average about $10 a person. Now Fords museum did admit my veteran husband for free. THANK YOU!

Nice reproductions of the Cabinet Room and the Oval Office. Lots of good information but be forewarned that the glass and sunlight make most displays difficult to read. Fascinating secret service and protocol info. Great history lessons. Beautiful building and grounds. Plenty of free parking. Very enthusiastic and helpful staff.

Very informative. Lots of information here. They also have a replica of the Oval Office in the White House when he was president where you can get your photo behind the resolute desk. So neat. Also some costumes and props from some presidential movies. Also a very nice piece of Chihuly glass.

We really did want to like this presidential library. We felt the Exhibits were way too close together. Audio was constantly playing at all exhibits at the same time. We got in on one of the volunteers doing a tour and because of all the audio being played, you could hardly hear her. It was very much sensory overload We didn't understand why they wouldn't let you in the oval office unless you paid for a picture. The whole layout needs to be adjusted. It's such a massive building. Why does nearly everything have to be crammed in such a small area. All the volunteers were fantastic. They were very informative. This was not part of the museum, but the globes on the outside of the museum when you walked up, those were amazing.

If you find yourself in Little Rock, the Clinton Presidential Library may be worth a visit. But only if you set expectations before you go. First, don't expect tons of substance or nuance in the content. It's mostly superficial, and even rose-tinted for large portions (Monica Lewinsky's name has zero mentions). Second, staff wasn't the most helpful (outside of the historian noted below), and at times a hindrance to the experience. The replica of Clinton's Oval Office was the highlight by far, and the historian who provided voiceovers was great. But the various media, such as the intro movie clip and the timeline walkthrough of the 90s were just not that engaging or informative. Visit for the nice physical space and the Oval Office if you'd like, but otherwise you can probably skip this one if you already have a cursory knowledge of Clinton's major accomplishments (and you'll know more than the museum of you have a cursory knowledge of his shortfalls too).

Was cool enough but total library size was kind of small. Adult price was $12. Was disappointed with the amount of replicas and reproductions. It seemed like half of the library didn't contain genuine or original items.

Visitrd 14 January 2023 Admission fees vary. Here are the fees based on our party: Adults (18-61) = $12 Senior citizens (62+) = $10 Youth (6-17) = $7 Active Duty U.S. Military = Free Masks are still required and are provided upon entry if you're not already wearing one. Then, you go through security screening, much like airport security, except you keep your shoes on. All phones, keys, wallets, and purses are screened through an imaging machine, and individuals walk through metal detectors that screen every visitor. You will pay after being screened, and then John Jeanes (employee) gave us a brief synopsis of the museum. I'm not sure if that is standard practice. He even recommended that we start from the top using the elevator to take us to the 3rd floor and work our way down using either the stairs or escalators. The items inside and the replica of some rooms were fascinating. I think even if you don't like history, you will find it interesting. You can potentially spend hours in there if you read every detailed item.

Never met a museum we didn't like and the WJC Museum delivers. (PS, this is my fourth presidential museum, Kennedy, LBJ, Reagan, and now Clinton). Docents are excellent, and they have free tours twice daily. They also have an app you should download. If you are in the area, or passing thru (as we are), put this on your list. Nominal admission cost.

Disappointing experience. This is on a beautiful location and building, but I thought the displays did a poor job of telling you about his accomplishments while in office. It came across as a poorly curated story.

I will start off by saying this is the first Presidential Library that I have visited. I know that there are some people out there that will not visit this place because of their political alignments and that is cool. Personally, I would visit any presidential library, if given the chance though. But thats just me. President Bill Clinton was the Nation's 42nd President, serving two terms from 1993 to 2001. His library opened in 2004 and costed $165 million dollars to build. The building's exterior is gorgeous. You will find a plaza area with a few places to sit and a bunch of decorated globes out front. This museum has its own private parking lot that is free for museum visitors. In order to enter the building, you must clear security. Once you clear security you walk to the ticket counter and pay your admission fee. The place has three levels of exhibits and is pretty huge. On the first floor, as soon as you come into the museum, you will find the Center's gift shop and a 1993 presidential limo. The second level is where you will find a mock cabinet room. This makes for a great photo op and is very realistic. There is a huge exhibit area that include a chronological breakdown of President Clinton's presidency and the highlights/accomplishments year by year. Some of the sub sections include: his inauguration, his impeachment, science and technology, global threats and security, and honoring the Little Rock Nine. They also touch on the Monica Lewinsky scandal and his impeachment, which I was surprised to see, but glad that it was included, because it was such a major part of his presidency. The second level is where you will also find a multi-purpose room where they host events, a space that the have talks such as meet the curator and there is a theater, which plays a 12 minute film that is narrated by President Clinton about his life and presidency. The third level holds the exhibit on gifts that President Clinton got from other nation's, which I found interesting that he cannot keep them and they become property of the US. You will also find an exhibit about Bill Clinton's childhood (I did not know he was born with a different last name and that Clinton was the name of his step-dad), Hillary, Presidential Pets, what life was like at the White House, and formal dinners on the third level as well. The highlight of the third level is a mock oval office where you can take souvenir photos that you can purchase in the gift shop for about $15 a piece. Kind of pricy if you ask me. They have scheduled guided tours or you can do the self-guided thing. There is an app that you can download that can help you along the way. We started out with the guide, but opted to venture out on our own and figure things out our self, which in my opinion worked better. Below the first level is a restaurant called 42. It is somewhat upscale and pricey, but they do have decent sized dining area and a nice patio area that overlooks the neighboring park. This is a very trendy and updated Museum. I found it very clean and well organized. I really enjoyed my visit and learned a lot. The entire staff there was very friendly and helpful. This is the one of the State's top attractions and is definitely worth a visit. I am glad that I was able to check it out and I am sure that you will as well.

Loved the reproduction of THE OVAL OFFICE! Sad seeing the picture on the famous Lincoln desk of John John with his Daddy. The world was blessed by having his Administration. Did so much good for the world, not just America . President Clinton was very important in History too. This Presidential Library really did an excellent work of covering both President Clinton and First Lady Hillary achievements. Walked a lot but totally worth it.

I've been to a decent majority of presidential libraries. Each has its own character and charm. FDR's was by far the most expansive and personal. Harry Truman's focused on ending WWII, shaping foreign policy, and his love for his wife, Bess. Eisenhower's was about the great general's hatred of war. Clinton's is the first museum I've been to of a living President, a modern President. The facility is modern, mostly glass. Very detailed. I wouldn't call it as personal or emotional as some of the other museums--The Clinton museum is a little more reserved and more about optics, like the JFK museum. But it has a lot more info. It goes through the entire Clinton presidency year by year. They even have every single one of his daily schedules available in binders. Major parts of his presidency have their own displays--technology, denuclearization, globalization, education etc. I downloaded the app in which Clinton himself narrates a little tour for you. That was nice and helpful--like he was there with me. They didn't ignore the Lewinsky scandal either. I give them credit for that. Several mementos from Bill & Hillary's childhood and youth. Many gifts and artifacts from various world leaders. They have special exhibits. The most recent one is a women's rights/suffrage. Beautiful art/quilts and powerful info. Nice museum, nice restaurant (reviewed separately). Super nice and helpful staff. I think I paid 12 dollars for admission. Close to a super nice pedestrian bridge and park.

I had a horrible experience. The layout is terrible. Most of the exhibit is parallel to the floor so I spent most of my time looking down. I left with a terrible headache! While his story is interesting, this was not one of my favorite presidential libraries, and I've been to most.

The museum itself was very well laid out and interesting. BUT the accessible parking was a freaking joke. It is literally useless for people who cannot walk well. My fellow traveler needed a cane to walk and it was quite a hike for them. There is a roundabout in front with red curbs and No Stopping signs, so I guess they don't want you dropping anyone off and then going to park. Very poorly laid out.

I popped in here until it warmed up outside. This was the fourth presidential library that I've been to. The history behind the man (or woman one day) is always interesting to me. There's plenty of parking (free). On my visit, they conducted a temperature scan and made sure you were wearing a mask. There's a couple floors to this building and a basement area that houses a restaurant (didn't try). The main floor at the top of the stairs has a small theater that narrates information on the President. This floor also has several theme sections that show how President Clinton was involved or influential. I also liked the recreated White House room. The top floor had just a few displayed items. I liked gazing at the "gifts" section. All the museum workers were very informative. There's also a small gift shop near the entrance. This place is ADA compliant and has elevators should you need on. In comparison to the other presidential libraries that I've visited, this one lacked the volume the others had. But that is not to imply that it's not worthy. If you stopped and read everything there is on display, you'd be here for hours if not days before you'd be done.

Andrew is the most unprofessional piece of scum that could work at a place like this. I didn't even walk the museum because he was so rude about me serving in the military. Do not recommend for customer service.

Although the library was closed due to COVID concerns, our visit was still memorable. Seeing the flags at half staff to honor Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was such a moving tribute. Nominated to the Supreme Court by President Clinton, RBG was the second women and first Jewish woman to serve on the court. Surprised to see a tribute Anne Frank on site. The Anne Frank Tree came from a sapling taken from the white chestnut tree that grew outside of Anne Frank's Secret Annex. Dozens of saplings were taken from the tree prior its death in 2010 and have been planted as special memorials throughout the world. Five etched glass panels that surround the tree include quotes from Anne Frank, President Clinton and others impacted by human rights events in Arkansas. Melba Patillo Beals was a member of the Little Rock Nine. Actor George Takei was interned with his family at the Rohwer Relocation Center in Desha County, Arkansas. Chief Heckaton was chief of the Quapaw during the Arkansas Indian Removal. A moving tribute. "As long as this exists, I thought, and I may live to see it, this sunshine, the cloudless skies, while this lasts, I cannot be unhappy." --Anne Frank, February 23, 1944

Neat place for anyone interested in a little presidential history. Great displays and very open concept. Volunteers are all very knowledgeable and friendly. Gift shop is a little unimpressive, but a cool option to have your photo taken in the Oval Office

To look at me, you wouldn't think I'm into history and museums. But I am. And this year, with a friend, we've visited a handful of Presidential Museums. Just last month - visited President Eisenhower. President Hoover. President Jackson (Hermitage) and President Clinton. Three stars. Not for the man. You have the respect the sacrifice one makes to make it to the Presidency. Three stars for the Museum itself. Not the staff. They were wonderful. The exhibits. The presentation. The entire feel of the place. Didn't wow me. Not interactive. Too much reading. Not enough memorabilia. If this Museum was food - I'd describe it as dry. Bland. Plain. It wasn't awe inspiring. Not that his accomplishments weren't significant. Just felt like the entire Museum was like a science project. Picture. Text. Picture. Text. I'm not saying I wish I didn't go. I'm glad I did. I'm fortunate to have. Add to my list of ... been there. Done that.

This place is pretty neat, particularly if you're a big fan of Bill Clinton (which I'm not, but I still enjoyed it). It's a pretty in-depth look into his and his family's life, and if you wanted to, you could spend HOURS here poring into the vast literature that's available, as well as tons of audio and visuals that cover every aspect of his political (as well as personal) life. It doesn't feel so much like a museum as it does an interactive tour, and there are guides stationed at various areas to answer any questions you may have. Overall, a beautifully designed, well-kept, and highly detailed testament to his life, with ample photo op opportunities (but unfortunately, you can't step into the Oval Office replica unless you're willing to pay) and a lot of learning to be done.

I was in Little Rock for work and decided I should come in. The Center is within easy walking distance from downtown. The area around the Center has great walking trails and there is a wonderful bridge across the River for pedestrian traffic only. Loved it. The building is kind of modern looking. I heard it referred to as the 40 million dollar double wide. Everyone I encountered working there was very friendly. There was a nice movie you could watch. It was in a small theatre with comfy seats. I loved the Oval Office replica. Just disappointed that I wasn't allowed to take any pictures. They did have a really fun selfie place fixed up to look like the couch area in the coffee shop on the Friends show. Fun idea though I'm not sure how that connected to Clinton. I enjoyed seeing all of the displays. There was tons of writing and descriptions of things that I didn't have the time or desire to read. I am glad that I came in. I found a brochure for the Center while at the State House and it saved me $2 on the entrance fee.

Came here as part of our Presidential libraries. This was the 9th one done. The building is the most prettiest building in Little Rock. The grounds were kept nice. The staff there seemed happy with their job. Security is very tight. When you walk in, The Beast, AKA, the presidents vehicle is on display. Older model from 1993. The gift shop is in front and also looks modern. The library has a Tiny House exhibit. It was cool. The library itself has some cool stuff. It's also smaller then most the presidential libraries and some of the stuff is roped off to the public. I wasn't a fan of Clinton but he's a lot better then his wife. Overall I give it a 5 for grounds. Not for the president, but for his library. Apparently he has a 4th floor which is his penthouse he goes to without Hilary.

What's the first thing you think of when you hear bill Clinton's name? Uh-huh..Hardly a mention to his fooling around on company time... Otherwise, it was fine. The employees on site were friendly and knowledgeable enough. I'm not sure $12 per person was worth it.

Great presidential library! It's huge, beautiful, and just has so much to offer in terms of President Clinton's history and achievements. It highlights what was going on around the world and in the USA economically, culturally, and more in his time and how he affected it. It was really a fascinating spot. The library has tons of photos and memorabilia related to the Clinton administration and it also has an area modeled after the Trinity Library in Ireland at Clinton's request which is cool. I took the guided tour and it was worth it to wait for as well.

We decided to take our summer vacation April 6th in Little Rock because I lived there for a short period of time. So it was full circle going back with my son and his dad. I have never visited the Clinton museum while I lived there so it was quite a delight to view it with my family. So after driving in it was one of our first key stops on April 7th. It's educational there is literally nothing not to like about it. We soon was forced to realized there was a large spread of new covid cases and The city made a decision to close down The library until October. We literally felt like we was suppose to be there We wanted to go to the restaurant as well however it closed at 2pm. Some people was dressed up while others wore everyday clothing after all it was summer. The history that filled the museum Was powerful. I understand that he wanted everyone to have access to technology and many other things about him that I supported. The admission is as follows Adults (18-61) $10.00 Senior citizens (62+) $8.00 College Students (w/ Valid ID) $8.00 Retired Military (w/ Valid ID) $8.00 Youth (6-17) $6.00 Children (0-5) Free Active Duty U.S. Military**: Free UACS Faculty and Staff: Free School Groups w/ Reservations: Free All Groups of 20 persons or more with reservations are eligible for a reduced adult-rate admission of $8 per person

Came to Little Rock Arkansas to visit President Clinton Library. There is a charge for each adult unless you are active or military retired. Building had 3 floor of history to view. Top floor is the replicate of the Oval office. Ground floor has the official limousine used. The 2nd floor has the history of his accomplishments he made in his 8 years in office. Highly recommend visiting.

For those born after President Clinton's term of office this can be very educational. We have seen several Presidential Libraries before this one. Free parking lot next door. Self-tour took us about an hour+. Visitors will be screened at entrance and one must wear masks at this time. After tour leave your car in lot and walk across Clinton Bridge next door and then downtown to Old State House museum. For those in the know no mention of his dodging the draft or the blue dress.

Spent a day in Little Rock due to a flight cancellation. Took my son to this Presidential Library. Security and staff were very nice. My son got a collector coin at the gift shop! Was pretty neat to take this tour and take in a piece of history.

If you're short on time, I'd say it's worth it to drive by quickly to snap a picture of the outside of the bldg. It's very modern, large, and pretty to look at!

You don't know what you got til it's gone said Cinderella. Love him or hate him, Bill Clinton was a character who many miss as a President. Whether it was his molasses-sweet southern drawl or his love of fatty foods when he was president, it's hard to be in Little Rock without realizing he is beloved there. I was "lucky" enough to have lived in Little Rock for a year while I did a pre-doctoral internship and went to this presidential library to pay a visit a few times. It was very well done and very modern. Some quick facts: It's the most expensive presidential library and has the most archives (like 2 million photographs, 80 million pages, 21 million emails, and over 70 thousand artifacts). There are also full-scale replicas of the Oval Office and Cabinet room (the situation room). There is a restaurant called The Forty Two (he was the 42nd President). No, there's no trace of Monica Lewinsky; yes, I asked. In fact, some criticisms of this library do mention the lack of coverage of scandals and pardons Clinton issued as president. Overall, this is a must-see if you find yourself in Little Rock.

WOW. Went on a weekday and although the parking was a bit tight, the overall visit was AWESOME ! Easy to navigate the exhibits. The Artisan exhibit was supurb. Spent about 4 hours and felt we saw / read everything offered. Decent entry fee ($8 per person w/ senior discount) Highly recommend to anyone visiting the Little Rock area

While stopping in Little Rock for the night from a road trip, we made the drive down to the library from downtown, a very short drive. It was extremely beautiful here at dusk. I wish the library would have been open for us to go inside, unfortunately it was already closed. We did stroll the area and walk across the bridge. The views on the sunset from the bridge are amazing. The grounds of the park are very well kept. There is so much to look at there. The structure of the library is a sight in itself. I would recommend planning where you are able to stop by and see inside the library. But if possible also come back and just walk the bridge at sunset, it's too beautiful to not see. There is a lot of History from the Clinton era, and I feel like there is a lot of US history in it as well. I would make the extra effort to come back here if I find myself in the area and go to the library, so I would recommend others go as well.

My husband and I have been here many, many years ago when they first opened the Clinton Library. Since we were in town for an extended amount of time, we decided to revisit. The Library, is actually a museum and it is one of the main highlights of Little Rock Arkansas. The building is designed very beautifully. It is open and airy with multiple levels. Within the museum, there are artifacts and countless documents that were acquired during President Bill Clinton's time in office. The collection ranges from, personal letters, travels across the world, news controversy, to the White House China. There is also a replica of the Oval Office, where visitors can walk around and get a close up look at the the Oval Office during Clinton's time. In total we spent maybe two hours at the museum, but that was because we had already seen most of the museum in years past. In total it would take a little more time to really read all of the information from top to bottom. It is a fun and historical trip down memory lane which I recommend that everyone in town take a few hours to check out.

You know what they say "if you've seen one presidential library you've seen....one presidential library!" I've been to others, but the Clinton Library was unique in its own right. It is spread out over two floors. I would argue that I found the second floor, with the exhibits on state gifts and the personal lives, hobbies, and holidays of the presidential family to be more interesting and engaging, but the other exhibits were interesting too. There is a ton of reading involved. Practically the entire first floor is wall to wall posters and placards of information in very small font. If you were to read all of it, you'd need several hours, perhaps all day. For that reason, the first floor wasn't that engaging for my young children, ages 5 and 7, and I had to really work to summarize things and engage them in the exhibits. On the second floor, with the photos of the family, pets, and holidays, it was much more natural for them to be interested. There are also mock cabinet rooms and an oval office replica. Both have very knowledgeable docents willing to give a small tour and some history and trivia, that really made the experience in both rooms. I did not like that you had to pay to take a photo in the oval office. That should honestly be included. We also tried the restaurant Table 42 and it was superb and a great value. And I search high and low trying to find out if they had a kids menu and could not find the answer online but YES THEY HAVE A KIDS MENU!
