If you want to listen to the entire audio tour and watch the videos, plan to be there for at least 2.5 hours. It was an amazing museum. It held my attention the entire time.
Andra ZapartanJuly 29, 2016
There are two floors that can be visited: the 6th (audio-guided tour) & the 7th (some exhibitions). From the 7th floor, you'll be able to take a photo of the spot where JFK was shot (see the pic).
Jake SmithAugust 11, 2016
Great exhibits on the 6th and 7th floor; learn more about JFK and his relationship with the city of Dallas. There is a very comfortable rocking chair in the gift shop.
Guido GybelsNovember 25, 2016
This JFK assassination museum is really well done. The audio guide is very well integrated with displays. And you get to look out across Dealey Plaza from a 6th floor window. Go early to beat queues.

I am sure that many if you are quite familiar with the whole story. If you are in Dallas make sure you visit the place where JFK was killed and the museum. You will get a new, different feeling...
Sean MillerNovember 25, 2017
Buy your tickets online the day before and print out the tickets before you arrive. This will save you a ton of waiting time.
Kimberly BiancoMarch 28, 2014
A must see when you are in Dallas, haunting. If you get the chance, talk to the man outside by the grassy knoll. He was a witness at age 13 when Kennedy was shot.
Lee DiazJune 21, 2018
Get to know the history of JFK and the days leading up to the world shaking events in 1963. The audio tour is one of the best I have heard. Get tickets ahead of time to set your visit date & time.

Go up one floor to the 7th floor or take a couple of steps to right from the alleged sniper's nest. Set the conspiracy theorist within free and figure out your theory.
The TravelerAugust 4, 2018
What a great museum. Very well done. If your in Dallas Tx and into history it’s a must. It has a parking lot , parking is $10 for I think 12 hours. It’s a self guided auto tour. 👍
Zola CuiltyDecember 5, 2012
Be prepared to spend about 3 hours going through the exhibits. So you should try to arrive by 3 pm at the latest. And don't forget to check out the seventh floor exhibits before you leave.
Ryan EagleNovember 23, 2013
A fitting and deeply moving tribute to the legacy of President Kennedy. The museum covers the life of JFK and his untimely passing in rich detail. Definitely a place to visit in Dallas.
Jeff Van WykOctober 14, 2015
They've done an excellent job bringing history to life here. Make sure you check out all the conspiracy theories too!
Dustin HollingsworthNovember 12, 2018
A favorite place to take visiting guests. Explore the life, assassination and legacy of John F. Kennedy within the context of 1960s history & culture through an experience designed for all ages.
Max WennekerAugust 26, 2017
About a two hour visit. Buy tickets in advance so you don't have to wait in line. Really well done with lots of detail bit in a digestible format.
Erik CintronAugust 13, 2016
A interactive walkthrough leading up to and after the death of JFK. Do the audio tour more intense. Second by second of JFK assassination. The conspiracy behind it. The position of the alleged shooter
AApril 3, 2016
Incredible exhibit! I enjoyed reading the displays much more than doing the audio tour. Buy tickets at a reserved time across the street in the museum store.
Rickard JonssonDecember 21, 2016
A nice and very informative museum, make sure you take you time and use the audio guide and see the film to get a better idea of what happened
MacKenzie McCarverJuly 2, 2019
A good place for visiting guests. Explore the life, death and legacy of John F. Kennedy, 1960s history & culture through an experience designed for all ages. Conspiracies? They have (and debunk) them.
johnMay 22, 2018
One of those unforgettable moments. Museum is suprisingly crowded which slows reading documents with some videos. City Pass is a 'saver'. Ps. Pay $2.50/day and take the rail city transit.
NatalieJuly 27, 2016
Such an overwhelming place but in a good way. It's a must do! Graphic, emotional and just inspirational of who JFK was.
Ayaz HyderFebruary 2, 2016
One of the first things you notice is how close this is to the highway. Whoever was involved could've jumped on the highway for an easy getaway.
Suzanne BartaliniJanuary 13, 2012
Very emotional. Still moves people to tears, even those of us who weren't born yet. What a great museum. Definitely a must when in Dallas.
Catherine CuellarSeptember 12, 2013
Parking is scarce & pricey; it's easy to ride DART light rail to West End station.
Jonathan AcevedoFebruary 22, 2014
If you take the brochure "where maps" available at the very entrance of this museum free of charge inside you will find a coupon for a discounted price cover fee
Cat ChenDecember 28, 2013
If your ticket is 12:30pm, get into the queue around 12:20pm even if that's the 12:00pm queue. Otherwise, the queue will be longer at 12:30pm.
The Ritz-CarltonJune 18, 2011
The death of a president, the discovery of a sniper’s nest and a generation of speculation, the Museum untangles reality from myth. But it’s the eyewitness voices from the past that linger on.
Rory ParnessNovember 11, 2019
Buy ticket in advance to avoid the long wait. Make sure to walk around grassy Knoll before you go in
Melissa Michaud NishanAugust 24, 2014
Great museum.. take your time, to see it all.

Call ahead to find out if there is a wait. Last tour runs at 515p. There is also a driving tour so be sure to inquire!
William KJune 17, 2016
Don't rush. Be prepared to wait to see and then to stand your ground and read the exhibits. Very informative.
Erik RowleyApril 29, 2015
Unfortunately there are no photos allowed on the 6th floor, but it is a fascinating journey into the Kennedy era and the tragedy that shot forth here.
Fiona MooreFebruary 20, 2017
Fun and educational-- lots to learn about Kennedy and his assassination. The audio guide was a bit cumbersome.
TimJune 9, 2013
Well worth a visit to get a real impression of what happened. Make sure you see the window the shots were fired from.
Shelly JApril 22, 2016
Fabulous audio guided tour! Be sure to explore around outside, too.
Ahmet Kaan TürkmençekiçMarch 4, 2012
Very emotional. Still moves people to tears, even those of us who weren't born yet. What a great museum. Definitely a must when in Dallas.
Chris Grum, MCC/CTA/LCSDecember 31, 2011
An excellent tour of the site of the Kennedy Assassination. Be sure to do the audio tour and watch all the long-form films.
Gustavo CastilloJuly 31, 2013
I loved the trip to Dallas but it wouldn't have been complete without this stop. So much information you can make your own conspiracy theory.
Dr. Aaron X. M.D.March 31, 2014
These people really love to enforce a "no photography whatsoever on the 6th floor" policy.Which of course is bullshit so ignored it completely and snapped all the photos I wanted. I advise u 2 do also
Hollie SickDecember 14, 2016
Warning this is a lot longer than anticipated. With the audio it takes 90 minutes! It's great though
ScoutmobNovember 28, 2011
The site of JFK's murder is marked by an X outside the 6th Floor Museum. While a little touristy, it's a top spot to get your conspiracy theory on.
EdJuly 15, 2012
Convinced of conspiracy now more than ever. Snipers practice simultaneous shooting at moving targets, and the Courthouse and DalTex buildings would have been perfect. Where's Jackie's pea coat? ;)

A must see for those who love learning about the stories behind our presidents. Or anyone in Texas, really. Impactful.
eric bornemannMay 5, 2018
Interesting and eerie museum - the plaza is so much smaller than you’d think it would be.
Hotel IndigoAugust 19, 2013
We recommend the audio tour, which is narrated by the first man to report from the building in 1963.
Roz ThomasOctober 28, 2014
A very interesting exhibition with an excellent audio guide.
Ayaz HyderNovember 18, 2011
Get your picture taken on the "X" on the street. Gift Shop has this great "group photo" of all 44 Presidents. Buy it.
Justin LisenbyDecember 30, 2015
Wonderful experience. Very sad story but a great tribute with all the info.
