The red carpet will be rolled out for this unique experience not available to the general public at The Richard Nixon Presidential Library in Yorba Linda. "The Queen and The President: State Visit Experience" is a new docent-guided tour experience that focuses on the many interactions between President Nixon, Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles III and explores the relationship between the U.S. and U.K. during the Nixon presidency. At the remembrance desk, you can view and sign the exquisite message book that is sent to the Royal Family each month. A guided tour of the museum will provide a visually stunning journey through Nixon’s early life, Presidency and post-Presidency with a focus on his relationship with Queen Elizabeth II. Enjoy an included boxed lunch with ample time at leisure to stroll through the First Lady's spectacular Rose Garden, view the 1912 house where Nixon was born, explore an entire wing of the museum dedicated to the Watergate scandal and browse numerous other galleries featuring captivating displays illuminating Nixon's early life, his rise to power and his legacy. On display for a limited time, the all-new interactive special exhibit, Cold War – Soviets, Spies and Secrets. Go behind the Iron Curtain and walk into post-war East Berlin by passing through the Checkpoint Charlie guard station. Enter a fallout shelter, stocked full of food and supplies for a nuclear winter. Enter service as a top-secret agent by attending a briefing in the White House Cabinet Room at the onset of the nuclear arms race. Operate a ballistic missile submarine with a simulated nuclear launch and test your spycraft skills by using cameras to take photos of Soviet weapons systems in Cuba.
