Very nice, historical area. I know there are a lot of conspiracies out there and being here peaks my curiosity. From this vantage point you would have a clear and slightly elevated view. It just seems there would be to many people around. We will probably never know but this is a great place to visit

If you lived during this time period, you will never forget where you were & what you were doing on the day President Kennedy was assassinated! It will give you chills to stand where this horrific event occurred that changed history. There is an X on the street marking the location of the kill shot.
I waited for a lull in the traffic and stood on that spot and said a prayer for President Kennedy.

We had purchased tickets to visit the 6th Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza and had about half an hour to wait before our entrance time (I was going to say we had 'time to kill' ;) ) so we went down to study the Dallas’ John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza and Grassy Knoll. We met one of the local guides there, who kindly offered to give us the full back history of the JFK assassination as well as the conspiracy surrounding the Grassy Knoll. He explained that there is a theory that a second shooter was located on the Grassy Knoll, which is on the northwest side of Dealey Plaza, and may have actually been the person who killed JFK, rather than Lee Harvey Oswald, who was shooting from the 6th Floor of the Book Depository Building. It is certainly worth heading to the Grassy Knoll and chatting to the locals who are eager to engage. We gave this fellow $5 for his trouble and he was most grateful.

12 years old when this piece of real estate became part of America's history. Visiting here was emotional for both my wife and I. We came to Dallas to see the zoo, but felt compelled to visit this historical site.

I saw the truth when I stood on the grassy knoll. I stood behind the fence and on top of the block of the Dealey Plaza. I saw the truth. Very interesting.

The Grassy Knoll in and of itself is as special as any other grassy area of a freeway entrance. Which is to say that it is not special at all. However, this Grassy Knoll holds huge historical implications which changes the dynamic massively.
The area surrounding the Grassy Knoll is all incredible, and any history buff should want to spend a few minutes wandering around this area. It's well maintained and highly popular, so crowds and be somewhat overwhelming.
If you are in the area, don't miss it.

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.

The place is almost always teeming with tourists who want to take pictures at the iconic Kennedy tragedy spot. Has a good view of the 6th floor library too.

I didn't go into the museum - the wait was too long. This site is still interesting and stands alone. As you walk up to it, you know what you're looking at. As the site of a significant place of history it's worth just being there.

This is a piece of world history and well worth going there. The day we visited there were plenty of people wanting money to take us on dodgy tours etc. We didn't bother, we just walked around, looked at the plaques and took in the ambience of the location. A very solemn experience, glad we visited.
