A must-see for a trip to Dallas, TX. The memorial signifies what the President stood for. It is shaped to block out the outside sounds and is quiet inside. We came during the day and it was a great pensive experience.

An interesting if not unremarkable monument to assassinated President Kennedy. It probably symbolises something, but the design is lost on me. Over the years, exhaust fumes from vehicles have stained the once bright white concrete, now it looks a tired beige in parts. Unfortunately, when I visited it, a few homeless people were gathering. They weren't intimidating or threatening, but certainly unwelcome. It's a monument that appears to be unfinished, don't ask me why.

The John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza in Dallas carries a quiet, haunting presence. When you step into the open-air monument, there’s an overwhelming sense of stillness, as if time pauses for reflection. Designed by Philip Johnson, its simple, almost stark concrete walls form a square enclosure, leaving the sky open above, which gives the feeling of both isolation and connection. Standing there, you can’t help but think about the profound impact of Kennedy’s life and legacy. The design, minimal yet thoughtful, leaves room for personal emotions to rise, offering a peaceful space to honor his memory without distraction. Being so close to Dealey Plaza adds to its emotional weight—it’s a place of remembrance that feels both personal and deeply tied to a pivotal moment in history.
