If you enjoy portraits + American history, this is a must-visit place! It's clean, organized, and has a nice patio section where you can do arts and crafts, eat lunch purchased at the cafe, or just hang out. Be warned, the cafe has basically airport prices for the food. A small sandwich, tiny (weighed) side salad, mini-pringles and bottle of water was about $25. Out of all of that cost the sandwich was like $11. The highlight for me was visiting the Presidential portrait gallery and seeing the Michelle Obama portrait (which is currently on the 3rd floor due to the high volume of visitors).
