This building contains a lot of history. The museum contained a lot of interesting information regarding the Kennedy’s trip to Dallas. They have plenty of pictures and it was pretty much like a walking tour. Everyone there was wearing masks and kept socially distanced which is a plus. They even went on to explore some of the conspiracy theories and showed different opinions from professional, such as the acoustic test that was conducted.

The Sixth Floor Mueseums displays remind me of days when life seemed simple and uncomplicated, until this dark day occurred and plunged us into despair. How times have changed yet stayed the same in many respects. A must see exhibit for sure!

A moving experience to relive a historical event that shaped America. A must visit when in Dallas and to pay homage to one of the best President USA has ever had.

No matter what you believe about who really shot JFK, thismuseum is worth the visit. You can get right next to the snipers nest where Oswald supposedly fired. You can see the streets below and get a feel for what it was like that fateful day. A must visit for anyone into the JFK conspiracy theories like me.

Yes, the X in the street is morbid. Yes, the large Grassy Knoll sign in tacky and unnecessary. YES, you still should absolutely go!Leave yourself plenty of time, and get the audio tour. You may not go in as a conspiracy theorist, but you just might come out as one!

Wow wow wow, such a big part of history. I came here early in the morning so the museum was not open yet but just to walk around the building and know all that happened there was enough.

Interesting pieces of historical facts scattered across the area. Loved the ability to explore and learn the sad and suspected conspiracy theories of the area.

Sixth Floor Museum is a great collection of JFK material all set in a historical space. A little eerie when by the window but great place to learn about a sad event in history. No photos allowed on the sixth floor but you can take them from the seventh.

Terrific museum that keeps both young and old informed about the events leading to the assassination of JFK. Give yourself at least 90 minutes here.

Well worth visiting. Seeing the actual site you quickly realize all the conspiracies theories are flawed. After seeing the distance involved you quickly realize Oswald could have easy made all the shots and hit the president.

Moving place. Loads of information and incredible tour. The audio devices were not great quality and mine actually was unresponsive for about 20 minutes.

Great place to learn stuff you didnt know. I have learned a lot over the years about Kennedy but this was an experience and is worth the trip if you do come to Dallas.

Great museum & informational. I am not a big Kennedy fan, but I love history & this is a great spot. I now can see why people think Lee Harvey Oswald was a patsy and how impossible it was for him to make the shot.

Great place to eat dinner. The fried chicken is pretty good. It wouldve been 5 stars but i heard some sort of gunshot come from the floor above me. not sure what it was but it sure spooked me! Anyways, it was probably just a weird thing that happened while I was there. Recommend!

A moving piece of history commemorating the life of President Kennedy. The tour is reasonably priced and includes an audio guide. I went on a Sunday, and there was a large crowd. I recommend buying your tickets online to reduce your wait.

The history is great. The logistics to buy a ticket and get in are an exercise in line waiting, most of it outside in the heat. Miserable.

Awesome museum. Worth the hassle of getting to downtown Dallas. Plus, the location always attracts conspiracy theorists and weird protesters so its interesting to people watch.

At first I thought this would be a bit depressing or even morbid, but I was wrong. How many shooters do YOU think there were? Conspiracy, yes, no? The DBD gives equal time to both sides. I could not believe that in a room of people, I felt like the only one there, looking over the shooters shoulder. It is a very intense experience if you put yourself there on that day. Educational and tasteful. Take a ride to the theater afterwards, it will make you think.

My family loves checking out history and this is one place that did not disappoint. I did find it upsetting that some people felt the need to stand on the x in the middle of the road. I guess I would prefer if people had more respect.

Great walking tour. Have me chills looking out the window to the spot on the street and watching the cars avoid the spot the president was shot.

Very cool museum. FBI scale model was impressive. Covers what was happening at the time for context which is often lost when talking about what happened.

Considering this museum is made up of information boards it was really interesting. The audio tour and the building its self make it. Learnt alot I didnt know - well worth a visit. Booked in advance but most people seemed to be walk ups.

This is where Lee Harvey Oswald worked before he was blamed for a murder he did not commit. This was a political assassination coordinated by LBJ associates. President Trump, will be releasing JFK reports OCT. 26th 2017 and what will be missing is the Oswald records. Those have mysteriously vanished.

Get in at 10 am and sacrifice a few of the early exhibits to get ahead of the pack. Then come back later to those you missed. Otherwise you see nothing but other peoples heads
