It's great for the history. You get to see where JFK was killed and take a picture on the spot. That part is free and it's outside. The museum tour however, is a mess. It is simply a guided tour...
It was very surreal to visit the place that JFK was shot. The audio tour is very informational and well done. Not very expensive to get in either.
This place is all about the life & career of JFK and of course his assassination and aftermath thereof. It is very well done and super interesting - kind of strange too, to be standing where he was...
