We had such a great time visiting the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum in Dallas! Honestly, we weren’t sure what to expect, but it turned out to be way more interesting and fun than we imagined.
Right from the start, the place pulls you in with powerful moments from recent history, interactive exhibits, and some really cool photo ops. Whether you’re into politics, history, or just love learning new things, this place is definitely worth checking out.
A few of our favorite moments:
1. Sitting at the Oval Office desk 🪑
Yep, that’s right—we got to sit behind the famous Resolute Desk in a full-size replica of the Oval Office. It’s surreal pretending to be president for a moment (and yes, we totally took the cheesy phone call pic).
2. Checking out the Situation Room 🔐
They’ve recreated the actual Situation Room where all those high-stakes decisions are made. Just standing in there gave us chills. So cool to imagine the pressure that happens in a room like that.
3. The Decision Points Theater 🎬
This was probably the most eye-opening part. It puts you in the president’s shoes and lets you make real-time decisions based on the info available back then—talk about stressful! But also really fun and educational.
Everything about the museum was well done—thoughtful, modern, and really engaging. We walked out with a whole new appreciation for the complexity of leadership and the kind of decisions that come with the job.
If you’re ever in the Dallas area, we’d definitely recommend stopping by. It’s a great way to spend a few hours, and we left feeling inspired and impressed.
