We were pretty disappointed with this Library. We have been to several other presidential libraries, and this was by far the least kept up and least interesting. The grounds weren't kept up very we…Full review by beth ann k

Wasn't sure what to expect, as I'm not the biggest history buff, but this was fantastic and 90 minutes sped by. Very inspiring and moving. We highly enjoyed and recommend this experience.Full review by Winnipeg4

Q:
I've heard there is a cafeteria at this Museum. For lunch, is the food reasonably priced, and what kind of food do they serve?
A:
There is a cafeteria which opens at noon, it has indoor and outdoor seating and is nice and airy. The food offered is written down on a blackboard and I believe it changes daily. …

There is a cafeteria which opens at noon, it has indoor and outdoor seating and is nice and airy. The food offered is written down on a blackboard and I believe it changes daily. When I was there they had roasted chicken, potatoes, gravy, rice and some vegetables. I think you pay a single price for the whole order. I didn't eat there (because there were no vegetarian options and didn't want to pay a full price for just the vegetables) so I'm not entirely sure of what the charge is -I vaguely remember it being something between 10-15 USD but don't hold me to it.

We stayed in Marietta and drove to the library in about 20 minutes. Of course, we waited until after the a.m. rush hour traffic to start but went by interstate. While Atlanta traffic can be unpredictable, we had no issues going to or coming from the library, which is well worth the visit. How inspiring to see the Carter's devotion to public service. There is a small gift shop on site, as well as a sit-down "home-cooked" lunch available. We highly recommend the Carter center.
