Our family of six had a wonderful time at the museum. The exhibits kept the interest of all my kids from 5 to 16 years old for the entire afternoon. I would have rated it excellent rather than very good if the Library had been open. Unfortunately the hours/days had been changed shortly before our visit. more

This is one fantastic place for all ages. We felt the quality was 5 star. The two presentations were equal to or better than DISNEY. Take you time and see everything. The rotunda is a great place for pictures with the Lincoln family figures or even John Wilkes Booth. Booth is standing by himself in front of the White House... more

We really enjoyed our trip here we learned so much about Lincoln that we did not know. The shows were very informative. more

The Abraham Lincoln Museum is a great way to spend a few hours learning about our country's history and one of its most popular presidents. Walk through a replica of Lincoln's boyhood home, see historical documents and artifacts, and pose with figures of the Lincoln family or John Wilkes Booth, in the plaza. Be sure not to miss the movie... more

A very well done and high tech museum that's good for all ages, although of course there is a lot of coverage of slavery and the civil war so we needed to do some prep for the little ones and didn't read every single detail to them. Don't miss the library show, it's amazing. more

We have been to the museum many times and never tire of it and always find something new to see. I recommend going to the museum to all... more

I know far too much about Lincoln for my own good. I have my own,albeit much smaller, version of a Lincoln library down in my "man chamber". I view Springfield as almost a pilgrimage site. But the Lincoln museum just didn't cut it for me. You might have heard it decribed as "Disneyesque". I agree. I went specifically to see... more

This museum was just amazing. I love museums. I go to tons of them. On the same trip where I went to this museum I also went to the Field Museum, The Art Institute of Chicago, The Ernest Hemingway Museum, and The Chicago History Museum. Of all of these, which would I consider the best? The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library... more

I was very impressed by this Museum. The staff was friendly and informative, offering insights on many of the exhibits. I ate at the Cafe - $7 for a Greek salad, small bag of chips and an iced tea. It was a Sunday and 99%of the eateries around the Museum were closed. The food was good. But, I would not... more
