What To Expect

John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza

The John F. Kennedy Memorial was the first memorial by famed American architect and Kennedy family friend Philip Johnson, and was approved by Jacqueline Kennedy. Johnson called it "a place of quiet refuge, an enclosed place of thought and contemplation separated from the city around, but near the sky and earth." Dallas raised $200,000 for the memorial by August 1964, entirely from 50,000 individual donations contributed by private citizens.

Dealey Plaza National Historic Landmark District

Called the "birthplace of Dallas". It was the location of the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, on November 22, 1963. The Dealey Plaza Historic District was named a National Historic Landmark in 1993 to preserve Dealey Plaza, street rights-of-way, buildings and structures by the plaza visible from the assassination site, that have been identified as witness locations or as possible locations for assassins.

Grassy Knoll

The grassy knoll is a small, sloping hill inside the Dealey Plaza and adjacent by the former Texas School Book Depository. It became well known following the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The knoll was above Kennedy and to his right (west and north) during the assassination on November 22, 1963.

The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza

If you purchase the option that includes the entrance to the JFK Museum at Dealey Plaza, we will leave you at the museum's entrance at the end of the tour. You can skip the line and go directly to the visitors’ desk to collect your headsets equipment for a self-guided tour, the museum visit generally takes 40-60 minutes.

Our walking tour turned into a riding tour which was a nice upgrade. John the guide was great. Toured around the downtown area, Dealy Plaza, and saw where Oswald last resided on that day.

John was our guide and was a font of information about the assassination and Dallas in general. The tour covered the whole central downtown area including landmarks and significant buildings. I would recommend doing the tour on your first day in Dallas as a great way of getting oriented. Ask for John! He is great. Even dropped me back st the Bishop Arts district afterwards. Highly recommend.
