I spent three hours at the Clinton Museum on a recent trip to Little Rock. While you can breeze through everything in maybe 90 minutes, three hours was not enough for me. While not part of a tour group I hung around for parts of three other tour groups with their guide on their way around the museum, and learned a lot. I would definitely suggest taking up one of the tours.
The building is pretty impressive, and provides an overview of Clinton's Presidency as well as what was going on in the world during that period. As someone who was in middle and high school, most of this I was not aware of going on, so it really helped.
The on-site restaurant, 42, was the best museum restaurant I've ever been to by a long shot. It is an upscale place with a seasonal menu and cool outdoor seating option, but at a price far below what you'd expect for the location and quality. Excellent. The restaurant is worth going to (no admission price necessary) just for the food.
The location is amazing. It is right downtown, a few short blocks from the most vibrant portion of Little Rock's downtown, including several hotels and many restaurants. An easy walk. It is also right on the River Trail including a historic train bridge which is now used for walkers/bikers/runners.
The down side is that there really isn't any seating, so expect to be on your feet pretty much the entire visit.
Overall, the Museum was a good experience and I will definitely come back in future visits to Little Rock.
