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.

I had this as my number one attraction to visit while in Dallas, other than the sporting event tickets I had. I specifically flew to Dallas from San Antonio instead of driving on the Saturday, to ensure I was rested and could spend the time to read all the exhibits and artifacts before the museum closed. It is a shame that the museum isn’t also open on Monday or Tuesday, as then I didn’t have to rush to get to Dallas. The admission was $18, and there was a timed queue to enter, which makes sense to stagger entry. Part of the group walked into the elevator, and after a short ride, we exited on the sixth floor. It was really surreal to be in the building, let alone to see the corner of the sixth floor where the act took place. There is plenty to read while in the museum and I enjoyed my time here. It was unfortunate that I had to alter my tour of Texas, but I am glad that I had the opportunity to visit the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealy Plaza nearly 30 years to the date when this event took place.

If you are into history, this is a must see, even if you only explore outside and don't visit the museum itself. The site of the shooting is clearly marked in the roadway and the location of the gun is visible from outside, up in the window. The memorial to JFK is about a 5 minute walk away as well. Plan tickets ahead of time at the museum - we weren't aware there were reservation times so we had to mill around for about 30 minutes. The second floor of the exhibition was closed when we visited, which was a letdown as we were not aware until we had completed the first floor. There was a noticeable lack of actual artifacts, the museum more so relies on its location as the building where events took place. Nonetheless, it was high on our list and a cool experience.

I wasn’t even born when JFK was assassinated and this place fully raised the hackles on the back of my neck. It is as morbid as it is riveting. Yeah, it’s a downright creepy place. What’s extraordinary, is that the plaza outside is preserved to look EXACTLY like what you will have envisioned it in your mind after watching all of the documentaries over your lifespan and viewing the Zapruder film. While the layout mostly involves narrative pictures and placards, there are also artifacts packed in here. The plaza outside is also a must see.
