Today we’ll travel to Simi Valley and the state-of-the-art Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum, featuring 18 galleries that pay tribute to America’s 40th president. Visit a full-scale replica of Reagan’s Oval Office, see a piece of the Berlin Wall, explore interactive exhibits, read letters written by President Reagan to Nancy, pay your respects at their final resting place and admire spectacular views of the Conejo Valley. The Air Force One Pavilion features a presidential limousine, a secret service vehicle, a Marine One helicopter, the world’s first operational stealth aircraft, the F-117 Nighthawk, and a walk-through of the Air Force One airplane that served seven U.S. Presidents. Also on view for a limited time, Dead Sea Scrolls – The Exhibition, presented in cooperation with the Israel Antiquities Authority to commemorate the most significant archaeological find of the last century, and the oldest surviving documents known to humankind. Celebrating 75 years since their discovery, this once-in-a-lifetime exhibition allows guests to step back in time through the history of the Dead Sea Scrolls – manuscripts composed, copied and hidden in caves 2,000 years ago, not to be rediscovered until 1947. The largest Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit ever mounted outside of Israel, the exhibition features 8 original scrolls and over 200 ancient artifacts spanning from the First Temple period through the inception of Christianity. This immersive exhibition also features a 3-ton stone from Jerusalem's Western Wall, believed to have fallen during the siege of Jerusalem in 70 C.E., a science gallery dedicated to the technological advancements vital in understanding the scrolls, and the international premiere of The Magdala Stone – a limestone block carved with symbols of the Temple in Jerusalem, found in the town of Migdal, presumed to be the birthplace of Mary Magdalene. We’ll have approximately 5 hours at leisure to explore the special exhibition, the museum’s permanent galleries (with an included audio tour) and enjoy lunch on your own at the museum café.
To ensure a healthy and enjoyable travel experience for our guests, this tour will operate with additional health & wellness measures in place.
