Fascinating place after president Kennedy assassinated almost 60 years ago, right at this spot. The old warehouse building at where the killer put the trigger is just standing there, now it houses the museum about this event, with huge portraits of late Kennedy and his wife. Visitors can stand where the killer was, overlooking the plaza. There is a memorial plaza a bit walking distance from the spot.Too much fascinating events happened after the assassination, and so many stories around it, you dont know which ones are true, it attracted peoples interests trying to figure it out. A young amazing leaders life cut short, making people think of the meaning of life, and the crucial part of politics.Great city of Dallas has to bear the burden for the assassination of the president, but it become the visitors attraction spot, part of history, the traffic on the spot is always busy as usual, but it cant submerge the history happened 60 years ago

Amazing, seems not to have changed since that day.

Amazing spot to see, it was not only sobering but surreal.I always wanted to visit Dealey Plaza as it has been on my bucket listWe toured the whole area from the picket fence to the book depositoryIt seemed way more expansive in photos, but in reality isn’t that big of an area.I would say the shooter from behind the picket fence had less than a 50 yard shot on low trajectoryI remember the day I was walking home from school and heard that JFK had been assasinatedIf you get the chance to, go and see it for yourselfTime well spent

A piece of history that we as Americans will never forget. JFK had a legacy that still lives today. His words were profound and he was a Man for the people.Nearby is a museum and a gift shop.Plaques surrounding the area with interesting information about the events that happened.If in Dallas, definitely worth seeing in person.

Heartbeaten place of sorrow! Too many thoughts. For the global world changing today is not necessary to kill a president - thats a good thing

Lonely, sad feeling. Great space.

This was an amazing place to see. So much history. It was breathtaking being in the same place that you always see in the old videos of the assassination.

Worth checking out if youre in the area and doing some sightseeing. Itll take you maybe 5 minutes to see the whole thing. Parking isnt free though, especially if you park in the public garage (expect costs between $4 - $10). Otherwise, it is very accessible and has good, brief descriptions of the whats and wheres.

Ive never been here but have always wanted to come. Well, as it would turn out, on my way to Arlington I missed my exit and ended up here trying to get back on the freeway. Seeing the two Xs on the ground marking the spot JFK was shot made me miss a person I never knew in a time I never lived.

Not exactly what I expected..mainly because I didnt have a good understanding of the layout of the area based on old pictures. They have a very pretty archway over looking Commerce street and where JFK was shot. There are 2 Xs on the street marking where the car was when he was hit by 2 bullets. There are numerous tours around the area as well as tour guides. Please be careful about standing on the Xs to have your picture taken...Commerce is a very busy street and people dont slow down!! The entire area is very well kept and depending on who you talk to, you may get some new insight as to who really did kill JFK...

It was surreal to see this spot, and yet it seems so normal as a part of the city. A traumatic day in American history that is a must see. It’s very simple. The museum is a lot more in depth, but if you’re simply wanting to see where it happened without paying entrance fees - this is the place to come.

Being able to view the spot where one of our most beloved Presidents was assassinated is a somber experience. Such a sad day in our nation’s history. The road still has traffic flying by so you have to be careful when trying to capture your photo of the memorial and the X on the road where he was shot.

The knoll was a bizarre place to visit. Its so incredibly famous, yet in reality it is exactly what youd expect. Its a small grassy knoll with a picket fence. I sat down and had a mini picnic in one of the most famous landmarks in JFKs history. Surreal. I appreciate the fact its been kept preserved in the way closest to what it was in 1963.

Sobering experience at one of the most historic locations in America. Surprisingly, I was the only tourist at this spot for some time. Maybe because it was a Monday morning?

Although there really isnt much to the area and the street is very busy. It was amazing to see this very historic spot in history. You seen all the pictures in books and on Tv but standing there really brings it into reality.

Great stop to view history.

Didnt spend too much time here, I was out there for work so I just thought I would look around really quick. Its a piece of an American history that I can check off my list. I will definitely go to the 6th floor museum though when Im back in town.

Nice place to see history. Beautiful murder scene.

This is one of the most famous, historical places in the world. On the road, you can see X mark. That is the point JFK was shot. This road is busy, so do not walk into X mark on the road, its dangerous.

Was a grassy covered knob; 10/10 would nob the grass again

Awesomely put together. This historic location is full of items to view. The organization of this museum is most impressive.

A little underwhelming for the I tense history that happened here, but understandable as there are Museums around to visit and its on a busy intersection. A conspiracy theorist was there, which was a fun time.

Looks just like it did 55 years ago. It can be a bit crowded at times but definitely need to stop by. Don’t buy the $10 newspapers from the day after JFK was shot by the homeless people because they sell it inside the gift shop for $5. So much American history here.

Great Place for PicnicWatching the parade until I heard a couple of gunshots ring off, Hunters always ruin the fun.

It was beautifully kept and easy access.

Its hard to give 5 stars to a place that had such tragedy. However, its great to learn about history & its something I like to do when Im visiting somewhere.

I was in Dallas for just a few hours and this was the place I wanted to see. Ive seen images of this place so many times in my life that when I was finally here it had an immediate and strange sense of familiarity, like Id been here before.Stand and ponder what happened here. Climb the grassy knoll and hide behind the wooden fence, imagining if the conspiracy theory was true, and if youre standing in the same spot as the real shooter. Take the time to read the quote from the speech Kennedy would have given that day if things had gone differently. Wonder about how the world might be different if things had gone different that day.The historical significance of this place has gravity, you can feel it in the air, and at the same time, the incessant rush of traffic and people going about their day, like this was any other street, reminds you that life goes on.

Just an ordinary grassy knoll, but famous for obvious reasons and lots of alternative opinions what happened the day JFK was assinated.

Being just a few minutes walk from the 6th Floor Museum, we couldnt miss it. Definitely interesting to walk along the road and see the actual spots where things took place. For a foreigner who is unfamiliar with the history, it all makes much more sense and is more meaningful after a visit to the 6th Floor Museum.

Great job in maintaining the area and remembering one of the darkest times in US history.

If you are interested in visiting sites of historical signifcance, this place is a must visit. Personally visited the 6TH Floor Museum several years ago. A truly moving experience.

Very somber city block just remembering what happened here!

Sunny breezy day.

This was pretty cool. We did attempt to run into traffic to get a picture at the X. Try your best to time the cars well! I would strongly recommend going to the museum - it gives you a really in depth understanding of this infamous day. Its pretty cool seeing the spots up close and then seeing it from the 6th floor at the museum. For those who remember JFKs death, it definitely is meaningful - such that my parents really enjoyed the expereince.

To stand behind the picket fence where the assassins fired on JFK is a staggering experience! You can spend a lot of time covering every metre of the Knoll.

Ive wanted to see this since the JFK film came out. Im glad to see it’s still intact.

A beautiful location filled with historic landmarks.

Unbelievable experience. The exact spot from where Lee Harvey Oswald Shot JFK.

Very strange being here. Cool for historical reasons and all but just eerie too. Lots of tours and information available for those who are interested.

Very easily accessible.

This place is a wonderful piece of history. Even the X In the road. You can see the window where the supposed shot was fired. There was a protest going on the day I visited. I felt like they were desecrating sacred ground, they should not have been allowed to be there. Didnt want to walk through them to read all the plaques.

One of the most historic locations in 20th century American history. I appreciated the significance of the event far more when I visited this site.

Will give you a glimpse of American history

Our nations history took a dark turn here but everything seems well marked and informative! One gets an erie feeling looking at the entire area and realizing that a great man was shot here and soon after died at Parkland Hospital!

Come visit! History site of President Kennedy. Monuments abound! Be sure to visit the book depository also.

A tragic story of American history happened here with the assassination of one of Americas most beloved presidents. Always remember, never forget!!

My grandma, a young immigrant from India, was waiting up the road to see the motorcade. It never came. In her words, he was my president too.

Its nice to know that some historical places are kept up, too many people try to eliminate history and pretend it didnt happen. This was my dads first time to the plaza, we lived in Palestine when Kennedy was assassinated, Dad said he heard the news on television.The only complaint is that it is difficult to walk around without being bombarded by people trying to sell booklets and other info...cant blame them, theyre only trying to make a living.

We were heading to the Holocaust Museum and actually came upon Grassy Knoll in error. However we loved seeing this part of history which I absolutely remember as being one of those Where were you when JFK died moments. Lucked upon one of the replica newspaper guys who spent a long time giving us the history and locations of all the incidents that happened that day. The coffee shop/book shop across the road is actually fantastic with great quality gifts and memorabilia. The Knoll itself was packed with conspiracy theorists keen to give their take on the whole unfortunate event. Well worth a visit.

Such a wonderful tour! So much info!! Even our teenagers loved it! Great value!

A very cool place with lots of history.

Sad part of our history.

A very historic place. I recommend sitting on the steps and just reflecting for a moment. Let your eyes scan the two white Xs where JFK was wounded in the throat and then the fatal blow. Let the breeze blow through your hair as you glance on the past and future of this great city. I also recommend talking to the conspiracy booths that are set up. So.e of the men have a nice set of credentials behind their name. Things are not always what they seem. We must listen to both sides.

5 stars only because of the preserved historical significance. When you arrive there is $12 parking on the right to the museum, general $10 parking straight ahead only the visit the grassy knoll area. There is an attendant that directs and has info, and he also directs a man to people coming into the great knoll area, he is claiming to be a veteran and was a sniper in the during his service, who is hustling for tips by giving an incredible amount of info regarding the assassination of Kennedy. Mostly conspiracy theories, but interesting nonetheless. Unfortunately I had to graciously cut him off. While we appreciated his efforts, I informed him we just completed my Dads last chemo treatment, we were all tired and were only there for a few minutes and wanted to reflect a few moments on our own since ² of us had never actually stopped there. This man is just a bit off-putting carrying a crossbody bag but also wearing a lanyard ID badge. I dont know if he was legit but my dad gave him $5 and he was very thankful for the tip and left us alone at that point. He had alot more to share with us & he was very nice but it was hard to get a word in. I live by the golden rule, but all the while using caution with strangers, we were kind to him and he was kind to us. Do not go here at night.

Must see, agree with Nate Church. Surreal is right, I didn’t have time for museum but did not anticipate being overwhelmed as much as I was once I was on site.

Really lives up to its name. Both grassy and knoll.

Surprisingly I went there for the first time as a tourist. I was expecting to have a lot of questions answered however I want up with more questions then ever. Kiss From A logical standpoint it keeps the light in me at least the conspiracy theory

A neat spot to visit and step foot on if you are in the area. A quick 5-10 min walk through gets the job done if this is the only area you are wanting to see. Even the shot areas are marked on the street (look for the large white Xs). At my time of visit, only a handful of visitors. Parking onsite, in the museums lot, is $10.

What a site. Man, it makes it real. Thank you Dallas for maintaining the area and telling the story.

It was awesome to see such a huge part of American history. If youre going to be in Dallas, I strongly recommend a stop here.

So this is the grassy knoll! It’s a nicely maintained small area of grass off the edge of the road. Yet, it’s more than that, it’s a historic area facing the piece of road where President Kennedy was assassinated.The area itself is scenic and informative, with markings on the road and plaques on the grass. It’s also, unfortunately, an area where scamming hustlers try to grab your attention and act like they are a tour guide and ask for money, and it’s also a place where people crazily risk their lives to get selfies on the road itself, despite traffic and despite the somewhat ghoulish nature of their choice of photo.Take the good with the bad, but definitely come and soak in the view and atmosphere and reflect on what happened here and what it meant.

The restroom thing is a bit troubling. The nearest bathroom open to the public is across the street (east of the 6th floor museum) behind the gift shop and as far as I know is only open during business hours.

Interesting place.

The place to check out for conspiracy theorist, history buffs, or just wanderers like me.

The history behind the assassination of JFK

Felt like you stepped back in time and was quite sobering. I remember my grandmother talking about losing Kennedy and it was such a heartbreaking time for the nation and a pivotal moment in history. The interviews playing at reunion tower were also very moving. I visited there first so I felt more connected after witnessing a documentary of the moment.

To be able to visit such a historic spot was simply mindblowing, 10/10

Its intresting being there in person, and kind of eerie. But still important to US history.

A very touching tribute to a late great president

Put yourself at this historical site, and all those dumb conspiracy theories go up in vapor. See things for real with your own eyes. Moving and thought-provoking.

Unremarkable by itself, but the history is undeniable

Interesting site, but there isnt much to it. Expect to be accosted by people trying to sell you maps. But still a somber experience about a sad moment in time. Glad i went, but Ill never need to go back again.

Great place for history. Dont stand here and smile in pictures...just seems wrong.

Very somber. It was almost eerie. The only issue is all the damned electric scooters. Lyft, Lime, Bird, etc.

What can you say about the grassy knoll that hasnt already been said people need to go there to understand how 1 individual could have so easily done that to a present.

A place for all Conspiracy theorists to start questioning history. Was worth the trip.

A place of sadness. The ground is very well kept and looks great.

Great piece of tragic history.

It so full of history . RIP JFK

Wife was so honored to stand in such a historic place

Interesting historical place. Cool being there in person after growing up and only seeing pictures.

This place is seriously a time capsule. While I was there, I really felt as if I could see what happened decades ago. It looks exactly the same as it did back then, too, except for the new road signs. When I went there in the morning, it wasnt very busy. The space is clean and free of dog poo, trash, etc.

It was crazy, RIP JFK

YES! Stop and visit. Take the time to FEEL this space. It still matters.

Very cool to see the spot at the assasination accounts talk about. Never knew it was so close. Worth a visit.

Great place to visit. Close to Amtrak and light rail. Very close to union station. Safe area. Nice museum close by and a nice gift shop. Looks like it did back when it became famous.

Nothing to add, had to go see while in Dallas.

A historic place. JFK was a sitting duck. An easy target.

Such a great historical place that we take all out out of town guests to.

Very interesting. Wish I had been there during the day. Great experience.

A whole lot of history in one place

Impressive historical place you should visit if you are in the area.

A huge part of history that changed the trajectory of our nation with 2 single shots

Lots of historical info to learn about her and at the 6th Floor Museum next door related to JFK. Biggest downside is one you get there, pay for parking, and get your museum tickets, you have to sign up for a tour time and wait around or come back for the time ... Self paced with an audio recording/guide.

Well-preserved piece of history I suggest anybody visiting Dallas for the first time should come and see.

Stop here and argue angles with the local conspiracy guys. Biggest cover up in US history happened here.

Good history that was interesting enough for the kids to enjoy.

Amazing historical site. Parking is $10.

Sadly, it was in disrepair. If well kept it would be an appropriate tribute to one of our best Presidents.

This was amazing & I went 24 years ago! Wr just happened to find it because it wasnt marked well. I was 9 yrs old when it happened & remember it like it was yesterday! Id love to take my husband back to see it, but we really loved JFK & it would be emotional.
