I love history and this museum made me feel like I was experiencing the events first hand. It was even emotional at certain parts and the audio and videos made the experience well worth the price...
Other museums in Dallas give you all the info but this one focuses on Oswald. When you leave here there will be no doubt who carried out one of the most memorable events in US history.
Great 2 hours spent here if you are interested in JFK. Having studied this most of my adult life on/off, it was actually a very emotional experience to see all the spots. It all looks more or less...
