For exhibit information or assistance, ask one of our friendly and knowledgeable Docents. These volunteer guides can be identified
by their navy blazers.

Tips 

• Weekday afternoons are the least crowded.
• The Museum and the Research Room are closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day.
• The parking lot is located across from the Museum entrance on SMU Boulevard.
• Allow at least 1½ hours to tour the Museum so schedule your arrival accordingly.
• Be prepared for the Security Check. All visitors must pass through a security check with a metal detector.
• View the Group Visits page for group deals and discounts.
• Free admission is available to school groups if the School Field Trip has been scheduled through our Visitor Services at least one month in advance.
• Take advantage of our Museum Docents. These volunteer guides are more than willing to share their extensive knowledge of U.S. history and the Presidency.
• If the weather is nice, enjoy the Native Texas Park behind the Bush Center. This 15-acre park is free and open to the public every day of the year, from sunrise to sunset. Free guided tours are offered in the spring and fall.
• If you plan to visit other Presidential Libraries, consider purchasing a Presidential Libraries Passport as a unique souvenir.
