The John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza was dedicated June 24, 1970. In the years since, it has become an integral part of the city’s urban landscape and cultural heritage.
Dealey Plaza is a city park in the West End. It is sometimes called the "birthplace of Dallas". It also was the location of the assassination of President Kennedy, on November 22, 1963
The assassination, assumed to be by Lee Harvey Oswald, is one of the most discussed and speculated unsolved mysteries of our time will take you to the world of conspiracy, where you may look out over Dealey Plaza (JFK Assassination), Grassy Knoll, and the Kennedy Memorial.
This is the rooming house Lee Harvey Oswald was staying at during the time of the assassination of President Kennedy.
Oswald was arrested here while calmly watching a movie.
John F. Kennedy and the Memory of a Nation – the core exhibit on the sixth floor – is a self-guided experience. Using the audio guide included with admission, it takes about 90 minutes to go through the exhibit if you listen to everything. The seventh floor occasionally holds temporary exhibits, and exploring those will add a bit of time to your Museum visit.

The tour guide Preston was very informative and keen to share his knowledge of JFK's assassination and the events that followed. It would have been nice to walk on the grassy knoll as part of the tour but I had time afterwards to do this.
John was very informative and led a great tour! I was always very interested in JFK and this made me want to dive in even deeper.
Isaac is passionate and explains to you both the official version and all the questions that remain open to this day. Well-known and lesser-known places, all of this makes for an unforgettable experience.
This was one of the best tours I have ever been on! Isaac was the tour guide and he was so knowledgeable, passionate, interesting, and most of all, DIPLOMATIC about the information he presented. He encouraged us to do our own research and keep an open mind, whether you believed Oswald acted alone or was part of an illicit plan. Although it is a somber tour, Isaac was engaging, friendly, and polite. Thanks to Viator and Isaac for an unforgettable experience. RIP JFK
Excellent. Learned information I had not known Made so much of the history make sense a fantastic way to experience a pivotal point in our country
Issac was our tour guide. Very informative and entertaining! He remembered ALL 14 of the customers names on the tour. Impressive!
Myself & two friends booked the JFK assassination tour, meeting at 10am at the JFK memorial & boy this did not disappoint. It turns out Dan would be our guide and for the next 3.5 hours & he completed made this trip worth it. Dan’s knowledge or the JFK assassination was really impressive. The passion from his story telling was really infectious. My Friends were over the moon also with him. I would encourage anyone to do this trip whilst in Dallas.
John Carlo was awesome and very informative and easy to understand and took the time to explain and gave us time to explore.
Had a good time. Our guide John was very informative and funny. A lot of time spent in the different locations. There was a severe weather warning and some help with this matter would have been helpful from the organisers (not John).
Preston did such a great job telling us the historical facts surrounding the JFK assassination, as well as setting the scene- helping us to understand Dallas socially and politically on that day and thereafter.
