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.
411 Main St (at Houston St) Dallas , TX 75202 United States
It'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
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!
Spend 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.
If 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.
Don't be one of the fools holding up traffic taking a picture in the middle of the road .
A 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.
Welcome 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 .
Beware 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!!
Wait for red light. Go stand at the "X" and look back at the 6th floor window of the Book Depository.
Just 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...
Fascinating to be standing in the middle of history. and a little eerie, but a must!
A great leader fell here. Pay your respects. Not much else to do in this area.
If 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.
Nice park area for people watching . Check out the log cabin on the corner.
A doorway to the past, a tragic date long passed, yet beauty springs forth.
Much smaller than expected based off media, but still recognizable and historic never the less.
Nice place to tour . Lots of stuff to do in the area.
Monumental historical site for young and old...read the markers, but avoid eye contact with the opportunistic leeches...
Stand 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
Parking available right off the plaza behind the sixth floor museum .
Absolutely worth a visit. The audio tour is well-done.
Absolutely tour the 6th floor museum , but the plaza itself is just weird. Too many people taking family photos and selfies where JFK was shot.
You'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.
Also visit the 6th Floor Museum .
They have daily JFK tours for 20 bucks. 18 bucks for senior citizens.
History buffs must stop...
Picture spot. Historical spot.
On 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.
It's something to see!
The X that marked spot s are gone. Road was repaved. Don't know if they are going to put them back. :'(
Great tourist spot
Great tour the center of dallas, and route of JFK!!
Get into a conspiracy debate with a stranger at Dealey Plaza.
Easy shot for any good single shooter . No conspiracies here.
X marks the spot
Beware the constant, bothersome hucksters....
Kennedy was killed by the CIA.
Look for the X on the street that marks the spot....

When you think of Dallas, most people think of JFK so this is a must visit spot when in the town. Very informational, and very historical. A great place to take young children who don't know about JFK - Brianna Battista
Opened in 1925 as part of George Kessler's master plan for Dallas, Ferris Plaza is a great spot to sit and watch the bright LED display at the Dallas Omni Hotel. - Jorge E
Amazing to be standing in an area that marks our history so much. That with the Book Depository Museum. Is a must if your in the area. - The Traveler
Incredible scenic views of Dallas, great food, very pricey but worth it for special occasions! - Colin Nelson
