The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza

Took my boyfriend here for his birthday the other day. We’ve talked about going for years now. We’re both from Dallas yet have never been. I’m so glad we finally went! It’s a self guided/paced tour which is absolutely perfect. It can take quite some time to read through everything and watch all the videos, but definitely worth it if you want the full effect. There was just so much to see and learn. Even if you think you know everything about Kennedys death, once you go here, you realize you really don’t. It’s amazing. It’s a part of history, and it’s amazing to be in an area where history, insanely sad history, took place. It definitely makes you feel lots of emotions. So glad they’ve made the building into a museum and I hope all who get the chance can tour it! It’s well worth it.

Awesome museum of the assassination of John F Kennedy. I've always wondered about how hard the shot would have been from the specific window. After seeing g it in real time, it would not have been that hard of a shot, but with a bolt action? Not too sure. We want ANSWERS! Why have the JFK Assasination files not been declassed yet? Pretty interesting stuff. Left the museum with more questions than answers. Ok Bye

Great museum. Highly recommend if you want to learn about the assassination of JFK. Information is well presented and very educational. I really enjoyed watching all the video presentations too. It took me just over 2.5 hours to go through everything and I love that with timed entry they don’t overcrowd the museum.

It’s a sad place I have to say, you’ll find a lot of information of the sad event by either watching some short movies/documentaries or by walking the museum and reading the information and seeing the picture. There are two floors, the upper floor mainly has the view of the Elm street and the surrounding and different places where you can watch movies about the incident. It’s mostly like a big hall compared to the main floor where you can observe some exponats. At the time of my visit, there were many people, we had to wait in line a little , however, it went by pretty quick. The ticket to enter was $18 for adult.

The Sixth Floor Museum located in Downtown Dallas is a very interesting museum that provides a lot of information of John F. Kennedy ranging from when he was born to the conspiracy theories after he died. There are a few places around that will show video of the assassination and the aftermath. I think it's very informative and a fun time for anyone who is interested in Dallas history or the Kennedy family. I do wish that the line for tickets and to be let in after buying tickets could be faster but I understand that they probably don't want it to be too crowded as certain areas were crowded.

A visit to the "Sixth Floor Museum" makes you think even more and more or less confirms the doubts that L. Harvey Oswald was not the murder or not the lone murder. The view from the window of the scene of the crime and also the pictures exhibited there raise questions upon questions to which no answers will be given. The museum is structured chronologically as a timeline and you can see what must have happened in this historic place directly on the window, on a digital presentation. Standing behind the fence at the memorial and looking at the three white crosses in the street makes you think very, very much and confirms your doubts. The museum staff were very nice and the visit, in smaller groups, went very smoothly. If you are in Dallas or nearby, then a visit to the "Sixth Floor Museum" is highly recommended.

I firstly thought I was expected to visit from the six floor all the way to the first floor. Then, when I realize only the six floor is the museum, I thought there might be a lack of content. It turns out that the museum is content rich. Everything on the wall, from words, photo, records, to videos, altogether give me a comprehensive sense of JFK’s achievements, struggles, and stories in general. The museum is prone to present history through articulation and interpretation; artifacts presentation is not a major. Before visiting here, all I know about this president are related to assassination. But the museum did an amazing job of showing all aspects of the president, not only those achievements, but embarrassing moments. It also shows the exact position where the snippet fired at that moment and you can see a X on the road indicating where the tragedy occurred.

Insightful and somber experience. Detailed history of JFK and the events. The view from the window added a poignant touch. Recommended for those interested in history and reflection.

Great museum! Definitely worth it and so peaceful on the sixth floor. Active military can get guests in free with their ticket.Wait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$16–20
