They actually manage the population that gets admitted. There can be so many people there, its hard to see and listen. Get there early if possible before the crowds, for a better experience.
They have put together a very interesting collection of pictures and videos on the Kennedy assassination. I always take friends and family that are visiting to see it. Everyone, has enjoyed seeing this place of historic importance.
Everyone who was alive and aware of their world in November, 1963 remembers where they were when President Kennedy was assassinated. We all remember seeing the TV coverage of downtown Dallas, the Texas Book Depository, the grassy knoll. Many of us still have thoughts about that day.
There's just "something" about standing at the spot where the President was hit,...

This museum was in interesting experience. It is well done and there is a lot of memorabilia to see. At the end of the day the museum exists because a president was killed in the city from the window of the depository so there is a certain creep factor, but still kind of interesting. If you are a Kennedy follower...

I'm not if some people would not find this exhibit a bit morbid and it's not for everyone, but if you are a history buff then I would highly recommend this museum. I went three times before the line was short enough I decided to venture forth. This is a very popular spot in a very high tourist area of...

As a non-US resident, my knowledge of the whole JFK period is very scratchy. The museum proved quite wide ranging in terms of dealing with JFK's background and legacy, as well as the inevitable focus on his death. My overall feeling was one of personal empathy with his immediate family, and the inmense tragedy that swamped their lives so suddenly...
