The museum is very informative and thought provoking. Seeing the scene of assassination on the 6th floor replicated exactly was poignant. Later went outside to stand by Grassy Knoll and took it all in.

One of the main reasons we visited Dallas and I didn’t really know what to expect. We booked to arrive at 2:30 thinking this would be enough time and for the main section it was, but there was a further area with video which we only managed to watch part of before it all closed. It is giving the tail of what is alleged to have happened, although still has a number of questions and leaves many conspiracy theory doors open. I am not convinced it is the true story but certainly is plausible. I would love to go back again now I’ve had time to think about what was said and the layout. There has been a recent news story from a secret service agent after 60 years which brings some doubt on the lone shooter theory and this may not be the end of the story Well worth a few hours visit

If you are planning a visit to Dallas, you need to include a tour of The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza. The exhibits are well organized, very informative, and fascinating. If you have any interest in the history of the events surrounding the JFK assassination on Nov. 22, 1963, you must visit this place as well as the area around Dealey Plaza itself. Of course, perhaps the highlight of the visit is viewing the sniper's nest at the corner window - this must be done at a slight distance as the area is plexi-glassed off (you can go to the seventh floor where a documentary video is shown but also to position oneself at the corner window above that of the sniper's nest to get a good idea of the view the assassin had). Parking is very convenient adjacent to the The Sixth Floor Museum building and the rates are very reasonable. The staff are pleasant and helpful.

WOW is how I feel. I have visited many sites that have Historical value, this being another one. This has been on my Living List for some time. The layout along with the presentation is very good. You can buy tickets online or in the slower times right at the Museum. There is a parking lot close by for a fee.

This is a must for history buffs and school aged children who are familiar with American history. Being at the location where this event happened definitely brings an appreciation and understanding of the event and the background time it happened. Everything about the time in American history, before the incident, the incident itself, and the events immediately after the incident are in much detail. I read everything as it was quite interesting. Once you get your timed entry ticket, you take an elevator to the 6th floor of the building. The exhibit flows in one direction. There are special exhibits up one flight of stairs on the 7th floor. In my case, the special exhibits were several films that went into more detail. Bathrooms are ONLY on the 7th floor. After you finish, you take the elevator back to ground level, where the gift shop is.

We were able to take a few hours away from conference to visit the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza to learn about the historical tragic day of JFK's assassination. Excellent Museum. Highly recommend to purchase your tickets on line to guarantee your admission.

Never really knew many details of the killing of JFK because it was before my time, however, this museum really has a lot of historical information. After leaving this museum, it has sparked my interest to do more research on the assassination of JFK. While it was informative it was very somber as well.

I've been to this museum twice and I've had a blast both times. This self guided tour of the Book Depository is where Lee Harvey Oswald perched to assassinate President John F Kennedy. All the exhibits and displays were informative and in chronological order which made for an entertaining experience. You learned about President Kennedy, his family and his journey to becoming President of the United States. Shortly after, is the detailed narrative of what occurred prior, up to and after the unfortunate assassination. The forensics video breakdown and the miniature scaled model of Dealey Plaza were my favorite parts of this Museum. This is a definite must visit if in the Dallas area. I'd schedule about 1.5-2 hours to tour and explore the museum to take it all in. At the end, there's a pretty cool gift shop to pick up some souvenirs. Enjoy!

Having visited Dallas for 20 years and walking around Dealey Plaza numerous times, I finally stopped in the museum. I had general knowledge of the assassination, but wanted a more personal experience of the site. I concur with many critical feedback stated: the museum is pricey when parking is added; most displays are boards with reading and the lines of visitors to read pile up; an old style of museum with no interactive displays; the video shown is almost archaic, very flat; no place to rest if you have foot problems (until the end); staff were cranky - ticket clerk had zero social skills; the info on conspiracy theories could be enhanced given the persisting speculation. On the positive side, there is a good recreation of where Oswald was and there is an encompassing 3D reconstruction video. Also not to be missed are the teletype messages to/from news reporters to get off the wire so this news could have exclusive priority - you could feel the frustration of reporters with “get off the line!!” If you are in Dallas, it is a shame to miss, but when visiting realize in advance its ordinariness.

As an overseas visitor this gave an excellent overview of events before, during and after the JFK assassination. It was fascinating to watch the footage while standing on the exact floor where the shots were fired from. Excellent book and souvenir shop on the ground floor as well. Can't really come to Dallas and not do this place.
