Nice modern building with easy access. Inside is a great presentation of the Watergate era. Also has a reproduction of Oval Office.

After today's visit to the Ford Presidential Museum we only have one more presidential library to visit. We rate this one very high. Quite informative for those "youngsters" who weren't alive in the decade of the 70s. Introductory film was well done. Oval Office and cabinet room were enjoyable parts of the tour. We spent about 3 hours there but we enjoy reading everything.

A wonderful display of material about President Ford. We learned a lot about his life and his presidency.

If you enjoy presidential history or you want to relive the 1970s I suggest to you to check out the Ford Museum. The Museum is worth going and it is a good learning tool for those who were not around during the 70s

A great chance to look back at a different time in our history and at a President who never really sought after the job. But once there was able to bring some respect back to the office and leave it better then when he arrived. Great chance to learn some history and see some great artifacts from the time.

The Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum was very interesting and informative. We truly enjoyed our visit to the 38th Presidents Museum. I would encourage everyone to take in the amazing walk through history. You will not be disappointed.

I don't think we even saw half of the place and we were there nearly two hours, but we like to focus on the details. The one disappointment was that the 20 minute movie cut off at the 15 minute point. The movie just stopped and the lights went on. Since it was the last showing of the day, we'll have to go back to see the rest of the story!

Walking distance from the Grand Amway. Interesting and very well done. A brief video is well worth watching. Nice exhibits. Worth the stop.

This is a wonderful memorial to a wonderful president, and so precisely captures the mood and the essence of this slice of time. You can spend hours there and not see everything, yet its neither imposing nor overwhelming. Travel back in time and enjoy the era. You'll be glad you made the effort.

There weren't a lot of exhibits, but some parts were interesting, such as the recreations of the Oval Office and the Cabinet Room. It doesn't take very long to visit the entire museum. The building is nice and, overall, I am glad that I visited the museum.

Museum was so much more than we expected. 3 floors of Grand Rapids history but fascinating to non residents like us. We figured we could see it all in a couple of hours but found ourselves running out to put coins in the meter. Everything from furniture to the civil war, bi-planes to whale skeletons. Kids will love it. Nice little cafe on site as well.

I went with my parents a while ago, and it was great. I'm not a fan of history at all, but there was a great deal to learn, and most of all, I really enjoyed being taken back to that time and era. It's a wonderful place for families to go together. While there is plenty to see for all ages, but personally, I would recommend walking around slowly and letting all the knowledge around you seep in. Don't try to rush through it, you're sure to miss some interesting facts! :) Take a camera and make memories!
