It was a pleasure to visit the plaza. Years have past, yet you can still feel that tragic day as you look around.There were many freelance tour guides offering services. There is a deep feeling that is hard to explain but when you visit you will experience it. Please visit this wonderful location.

I had fun visiting this historic place that Ive seen so much footage of. The museums were closed when we got there. I would love to return and spend more time.

Definitely takes you back to your history class. We decided to stop and visit because we are big JFK history lovers and have lived through that part of history. It mixes up all kinds of emotions, just standing there taking it all in. We brought our 15 year old son with us so he could understand an American tragedy. He was moved. He talked me into buying merchandise from a man selling books about JFK. It is worth the trip. To educate yourself and future generations.

A must-see for anyone interested in US history. To see this place really brings the lessons from the history books to life and you can’t help but feel the emotions and history that are here.

It’s a place that everyone should visit, such an important part of not only American history but world history. There is parking near by and it’s so different to see the plaza in person. The only down side was there was a lot of people trying to hustle and take your money.

It is cheaper to park on the street. There were several street biographers. I didnt need to do the tour.

There is interesting history here Dallas has done a good way to preserve that very accessible to the public

One of the few historical places where you can walk freely and through history. On the grassy knoll and to points of interest and perspective. The museum has a fee and restrictions. Not the plaza. Plenty of signage to explain where you are at and points of significance. Weekends are more crowded and there are a variety of people who have theories on what happened. Books, DVDs, videos, pictures and jump-drives with data, all for sale. These are interesting people to talk to. If you like American/World history, this is a must stop. You can spend 5 minutes or 5 hours here and walk away with a little bit of Wow! Other historical sites close by as well.

Went to Dallas in 2012, and spent a few days down in Dealey Plaza since it was in walking distance of the hotel where my wifes conference was. It was amazing to see the plaza that pretty much has not changed that much since 1963. There were visitors all around the plaza we were there and we also went on a few tours that talked about the faithful day in November 1963. We have a full review of this location on our blog site and YouTube Channel.

It was quite mind blowing...It was nice and very cool to learn more about are us history.

A poignant and must see place to visit when in Dallas.

A nice little piece of history

Lots of information. The 2 xs are in the road on a busy street. BE CAREFUL. There are men selling magazines and newspapers which is more informative than the museum. Oh and 1 guy selling the news cast from that day. Take cash cause it is expensive to buy that info. But worth it if you are interested.

Historic, educational, and busy.

Pretty amazing. The history is palpable. Needs a bit if maintenance. Several wasps nests in the archways/domes

History, met a nice gentleman who witnessed and shared his experience.

Pretty interesting place. I appreciate the little plaques scattered around to supplement visitors prior knowledge on everything that happened. Theres a guy selling information on the assassination as a souvenir to anyone whos curious enough to look around. I think each one is $5. I dont like that the fountains pools are dirty, with leaves floating on the surface and trash piled up in corners. Someone needs to keep that clean, its part of history.

I love historical sights. Interesting.

Everything it should be and more! A very tactile connection to an important time in American Political History! A must experience for everyone!!!

Great space right there in Main.

Great little information signs though out the area.

There’s a strange feeling that accompanies a visit to the place where so many things changed in American history. For those that appreciate these experiences, it’s definitely worth a walk down this street.

Is emotional to see this place you can’t believe what happened here. An incredible historical place. John Kennedy will always be remembered. Was an excellent opportunity to teach and show my grandkids.

Cool place to go visit and walk around quietly observing the area and memorials. Nice tours are offered as long as you go through a real tour agency, not one of the random people milling around through Dealey Plaza. Often times the place of the exact assassination are marked with an x on the street in front of the sixth floor museum.

This historic site has not changed. It still looks just like it did when Kenedy was shot.

The MOST important Dallas landmark, this is a must see.

The traffic is minimal in this area making it easy to access either on foot or by vehicle, there was plenty of nearby parking available. Points of interest are marked for the public to see but tour guides are also available in addition to museums. Great place for history buffs, may not be as interesting for children.

Good placards in the area. Somber experience. Plenty of parking in the area, btw.

You feel the history standing at the spot.

Dealey Plaza, this is one of those places in life that one might never visit but one would have heard off, the view from the Book Depository gives an unbelievably great view of the areaThe view from Main St, to N Huston St to Elm St totally unbroken,I dont know the ins and outs of what went on but its hard to know why the shooter would have waited until the car turned into Elm St heading away,

Behold. The infamous grassy knoll.

The history is neat but nothing else to do. The homeless trying to sell tours is a bit much.

The dream visit of a lifetime! To stand in this place of history was monumental. Dealey Plaza must be preserved for ever more. Just a note of caution; beware of the unsolicited guides who attempt to hustle you for money. They will give a tour then expect a tip. But nothing can detract from this living, breathing piece of history!

Dowtown Dallas is phenomenal, even with the pandemic its friendly and inviting. You must try BBQ before you leave the area.

Interesting place but the history itself far outweighs the site. Dealey Plaza is simple little fountain accompanied by a statue ..... of none other than MR. DEALEY.

Beautiful and plenty of markers for information.

An unfortunate, but interesting historical location for the US. We were able to show the kids part of American history.

Nice place, not many people on a Sunday!

Waited 30 years and never thought I would visit the actual location John Frederick Kennedy was assassinated in Nov 1963. Quite surreal and sad but Memorable.

If you dont have time for the museum, the plaza has plenty of informational plaques describing what went on that day and where. I definitely recommend it. There are guys there that will try to tell you some information but they are really trying to sell an information newspaper or ask for donations if you decline (without telling me who they represent).

Headache! Haha haha

This whole plaza is a nice place to visit if you’re ever in Dallas and a important one to history too, where sadly, John Fitzgerald Kennedy , The 35th President, was Assassinated. The plaza has many meaningful monuments and green spaces. One thing that was neat was the 2 X’s on the street to show where the 2 shots hit the President in JFK’s vehicle. Overall this plaza is a nice, important place in history.

Great to see a historic scenic route.

It was nice place near to Bay conference location.

Interested part of history

Nothing bad ever happenes to the Kennedys they said

Nice history & information.

Great part of history

God bless America and may President John F. Kennedy forever be in our hearts. Rest in Peace Sir. To be at this sight is just indescribable.

This was truly an awe inspiring experience. to be able to see so much history so well preserved was a real pleasure.

Love this area. Very special historic place

Rather you want to visit for the history or the conspiracies or both. This place played a major role in presidential history and future security measures.

Somber memorial remembering one of the most engaging Presidents in history.

Would have given 5 stars but they need better signs for directions in and out

Historical information and Historical value is amazing

We had an amazing experience visiting Dealey Plaza thinking about the events of November 22nd, 1963. Unfortunately, we didnt have the opportunity to go inside The Sixth Floor Museum. My family still enjoyed walking around and discussing the events of that day. It truly was as surreal experience.

Enjoyed visiting the place...

Nice historical moment...you have to walk 6 blocks to get to the cowboy and steer statues

This whole place is surreal. Knowing there was an assassination right there in front of you is just whelming. I just happened to be there when a tour utilizing a Lincoln was driving through. The only thing that wouldve made it better would have been actors in the car recreating the whole scene.

There is nothing quite like being in this important historical location of one of the most tragic events in American History. It is always eye opening talking to vendors about the conspiracy theories.

Beautiful and a sentimental spot. It can never live down the JFK assassination. Must place to go!

Amazing historical significance

Location where JFK was assassinated. Sad day in American history.

Great to walk around and learn about the Assassination. The site let’s you see where everything happened. Stop for lunch at the record grill.

Solemn, vibrant and peaceful. Lots to enjoy in this area. Plenty of tours and information right from the corner. Sit, stroll, explore and reflect.

Seeing this part of American History is very educational but the actual museum was not very impressive. Visitors are given a headset that explains each exhibit however they all seemed to follow the same format. A group of pictures mounted on the wall. I didnt see much difference in the layout.

It was an odd, almost eerie feeling. Its as though time stands still being there and sort of reliving what occurred decades ago. Visit the museum and the grounds around Dealey Plaza but most of all, take a trolley tour. Its well worth it....to be in a part of American history.

Dont know where the public restrooms or water fountains were... Remember the Thames...

Wow! What a surreal place. We parked in the museum lot which backs up behind the grassy knoll. Locked over the reproduction of the wooden fence then walked down. So cool to see the plaza pretty much as it existed 50 years ago. Just walking around was amazing. Definitely do the 6th Floor Museum too if you can. Great info and the self guided tour is great.

Very interesting.

It is remarkable to see how the place remains the same since 1963. There are several signboards and maps around the plaza explaining the events on the fateful day, and it is hard to miss the cross in the middle of the road where the assassination happened. The tragedy still resonates strongly even though it was more than 50 years ago.

This is hallowed ground. I had always imagined it to be much bigger. As a history buff it was a day of visiting the Book Repository, and a second afternoon spending time walking the entire site.

Took my mother. She was 12 when JFK was assassinated. I did a book report on his life when I was 6th grade. COVID had the book depository closed. Probably the most expensive short term parking in Dallas...just guessing.

The area is a historical marvel and great place to visit. I am however, disappointed that we have people demonstrating or protesting. It is for everyones health and safety that ALL abide by current rules on large gatherings. I can understand that people are frustrated but we must ALL BE POSITIVE, SAFE, AND SMART and will TAKE ALL OF US TO GET THRU THESE. SB

Pan handlers everywhere picking up site pamphlets and posing as tour guides. Watch your backs.

It was kind of neat to say that I had been there, but the site was borderline disappointing. Limited markers at key points of interest - though info stations are less strategically located near the parking lot, random strangers allowed to sell peculiar maps and provide their version of history/facts, and a random piece of tape in the road (x marks the spot) where the whole thing went down. Just not what I was expecting.

Nice area. First time seeing the place of Kennedys assassination. The marker on the road was eerie

Nice for photos, but not much else.

There could be more event-centric notations around the plaza, such as where the people videoing the assassination were standing or maybe a mark on the road and window where the shots took place.The commemoration of Mr. Dealey is very well done. All in all a beautiful area.

A little bit of history. Standing on the grasdy knoll was surreal.

Completely surreal and its pretty cool how they show all of the evidence. Being there press a lot into perspective.

The museum is closed, but we still got to see whats outside. There are people outside that will talk about their experience from that day.

Interesting to see where the events on 11/22/63 happened. We had seen this location on documentaries and in movies for years, but it is nice to see it in person.

Fascinating and sad at the same time as JFK was shot here. Worth visiting. The 6th floor museum is very close by and very detailed. An x marks the spot on Elm Street where JFK was shot .

Nice park and plaza for the late JFK

This is an American institution for a wonderful president and to remember his legacy. It is good to see so many people who appreciate it.

Really interesting to be at the location in person. Did not do the museum tour but walked all around the site. Met several conspiracy theorists who provided very interesting information. In fact, one gentleman walked me to several locations around the site and pointed out what he indicated were missed shots on the concrete, sidewalk and curb. Also pointed out the area behind the grassy knoll where a wood picket fence is located and marked at certain locations of the pickets with red paint, purportedly where 2 other gunman were located and fired on JFK. In all the guy reported & alleged that there were a total of 9 shots fired by no less than 4 shooters. Claimed 2 shooters were at the fence behind the grassy knoll, 1 in the sewer next to the location of the fatal shot in addition to Oswald. Not sure if i believe that, but interesting conspiracy theory nonetheless. Stood on the exact location/site where Abraham Zapruder filmed the assassination of JFK. The X in the street noting the location of the fatal shot is pretty eerie. Also the box in the window of the 6th floor of the school book depository which shows where Lee Harvey Oswald fired his rifle from is moving, especially when viewed from the street. What I found most interesting of all is how much the site seems to not havechanged since 1963. If youve seen the archived footage over the many years of various documentaries, it really looks like you would imagine if you have never been there.

Not much to say, its a historic spot!

The day the world changed. A must see.

Interesting look into history! Lots of locals to tell you what really did or didnt happen

Great tour. It definitely helps with perspective to the Kennedy assassination. I would definitely recommend for any history buff. Self-guided tour at your own pace.

Way cool experience.

Have been here for the day, a wedding and during the Texas State Fair all great experiences. Always a beautiful oasis of greens and flowers, usually in the spring youll see butterflys and birds.

Very insightful..

Very surreal place. Pretty big history person so being here was pretty awesome for me. Do think president John F Kennedys Memorial should have been closer to Daley Plaza where he was actually shot. Didnt have time to do the museum, but I bet it was pretty good. I did think it was kind of disrespectful for people to stand on the xs in the street where Kennedy was shot and take pictures. Just thought that was tasteless. The speech Kennedy was set to give, if not for the actions of that day,, wouldve been a speech to remember.

Historically significant time and place.

A must see! Definitely pivotal history for the US- highly recommend.

It was crazy to see the two exact spots where Kennedy was shot. They actually have them marked on the street with a big white X. Also, they have a small corner shop where you can buy a lot of JFK souvenirs.

Nice historical place.

Quite the experience. If you were around when JFK was assassinated you cant help but feel sad standing in the Dealey Plaza wishing you could turn back time and alter the outcome.
