- Justin W.August 5, 2013It's amazing how much this corner still looks like it did back in 1963. You definitely feel something when you get there and realize a president was assassinated there. A sobering place to visit.
"In the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children’s future, and we are all mortal" —JFK 1963
Jake SmithAugust 11, 2016Spend some time trying to figure out how the whole thing was possible as it is alleged to have happened. Look at the window, the X, and the grassy knoll. The evidence is there.
I get to look out the window of our office at this historical site. I see so many people coming from across the world to view, remember and more importantly, work out their conspiracy theories!
- Rickard JonssonDecember 21, 2016A great place to come and reflect on what you have seen in the nearby museums, I would suggest you do the Sixth floor first though.
Rev TJ ConwellNovember 19, 2013If you visit the 6th Floor Museum be advised that concealed carry is FORBIDDEN. Leave it in the car or you are gonna take the "walk of shame" back. :-) JFK Trolley Tour is WELL worth the money.
Raquel GrinnellApril 12, 2018Beware of Miguel... he may seem like a friendly, knowledgeable, homeless guy, but at the end of his speil, he insists on getting a tip, when you didn't even seek out or ask for his service!!
AApril 3, 2016Don't be one of the fools holding up traffic taking a picture in the middle of the road.
Russell HirschornDecember 28, 2016A great leader fell here. Pay your respects. Not much else to do in this area.
ZAPATA! PHOTOMarch 27, 2012Welcome to Dealey Plaza! This site will forever be remembered for the tragic events of Nov. 22 1963. Take a walk around and be sure to take photographs of the spots marked by an 'X' in the road.
John DuncanAugust 2, 2016Fascinating to be standing in the middle of history. and a little eerie, but a must!
Erik RowleyApril 29, 2015A doorway to the past, a tragic date long passed, yet beauty springs forth.
Eric ShineJanuary 15, 2018Much smaller than expected based off media, but still recognizable and historic never the less.
Kirsten MillerNovember 3, 2010If you look on Elm, just to the west of the School Book Depository, you will see two 'X's painted on the pavement. These are where the two gunshots (if you believe the two shot theory) hit.
Emily BaerJune 2, 2015Absolutely tour the 6th floor museum, but the plaza itself is just weird. Too many people taking family photos and selfies where JFK was shot.
- Linda SuttnerJanuary 27, 2015Monumental historical site for young and old...read the markers, but avoid eye contact with the opportunistic leeches...
Ayaz HyderFebruary 2, 2016Wait for red light. Go stand at the "X" and look back at the 6th floor window of the Book Depository.
JB FabyNovember 30, 2013Just like the images you see from 1963... it looks like it never changed, you can really feel something happened. Don't go and stand on the "X" on the street... it's still a street with cars...
IntelWiMAXOctober 5, 2010You're standing in the historic epicenter of Dallas, and also a WiMAX hotspot. Hop online & read about the rich history, or even stream videos about it on YouTube.
HISTORYApril 5, 2010On his visit to Dallas on November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy rode in a motorcade through Dealey Plaza. Suddenly shots were fired, killing JFK. Lee Harvey Oswald fired the shots from here.
Will ConleyJanuary 22, 2010Stand here, look at the top right window of the Texas School Book Depository building (Oswald's shooting location) and look at Elm street - down about 100 feet from Houston Street - where JFK was shot
Trishia MorrillNovember 23, 2013The X that marked spot s are gone. Road was repaved. Don't know if they are going to put them back. :'(

Dealey Plaza, built 1934-40, serves as Dallas' western gateway and was the focus of civic pride prior to the tragic event that unfolded on Nov. 22, 1963--the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. One of only two extant Presidential assassination sites.
