Obama Presidential Center

Me, my wife, and my kids took a trip down to the Obama Presidential Center yesterday. Short review: meh. The campus is gorgeous, and the view from the 8th floor is great, but as someone who lived through the 8 years of Obama as an adult the museum portion wasn’t very exciting.

Oh, and if you’re planning on visiting don’t take the “limited parking” warning for the on-campus garage on the website seriously. The parking was ample. There were still plenty of spaces there even on a Sunday afternoon when the tickets were sold out. 1

  1. Yes technically all parking is limited but when I see that phrase I expect they’ve only got a small number of spaces.
