One of Texas’ most visited historic sites, The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza chronicles the life, death and legacy of President John F. Kennedy. The Museum is in the former Texas School Book Depository building, where evidence of a sniper was found after the assassination of President Kennedy on November 22, 1963. Much of the exhibit space looks as it appeared in the 1960s. Highlights include a sniper’s perch, the FBI model used by the Warren Commission, an original teletype machine that first transmitted news of the president’s death, Oswald’s wedding ring, historic films, photos and more. An interactive display overlooks Dealey Plaza. Admission includes an audio guide, available in eight languages including ASL. The museum is open daily except Thanksgiving and Christmas. RECOMMENDED: Buy timed-entry tickets in advance at jfk.org. The most convenient paid parking is adjacent to the building; stay in the far right lane of Elm Street to enter the parking lot.One of Texas’ most visited historic sites, The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza chronicles the life, death and legacy of President John F.

This was really like travelling back in time to one of the most significant dates in American History. The exhibits consisted mostly of placards to read after listening to the audio tour and a scaled model of Dealey Plaza.

It might be difficult to keep the attention of little children as there were few interactive exhibits. Notwithstanding, it still is a place to see just from the shear significance that the area will always hold.

I have been here several times, both as an adult and a child, and every single time, I feel honored to be within such a piece of history, and just when I think it isn't possible, I always end up learning something new! I highly recommend this to history buffs and/or people who are in town and looking for something fun to do with the kids!

No Conspiracy

The museum is full of info you probably saw in documentaries or read in the myriad of conspiracy theory books designed to seperate you from your money. I was surprised to see where Zapruder was standing in relation to the grassy knoll. It is more for the curiosity seekers and history buffs. It does address all the theories. overall, a good visit and worth it... but only once.
