    Fun museum to walk through, I left knowing much more than I had before. The interactive area where you can see where the car was driving on the street below was my favorite part. Entry fee now $25 per person.

    "There are no faint hearts in Fort Worth" John F Kennedy -address to the city of Fort Worth, November 22, 1963. When visiting Fort Worth for a work event, I made sure to make time to visit this memorial and I was not disappointed! This is the historical spot where President John F Kennedy gave his famous parking lot speech to thousands in the early morning rain. The memorial is in general worth square, at the southeast corner of main and 8th. Directly across from the Hilton Hotel (formally Hotel Texas) The memorial is set in a circle, right in the middle is an 8ft tall bronze statue of JFK with a his powerful fist raised in the air. Directly behind the statue is a wall with 3 large photos from JFK's visit and quotes from some of his speeches. Make sure you visit in the night time too, amazing to see everything lit up....definitely breath taking.

    Remembering when this memorial was built a few years ago, I always make it a point to swing by when in the area. Don't think the memorial is all there is to honoring JFK. Step inside to the second floor of the Hilton for pictures of the historic visit the day before and of his fateful assassination. While you're there, ask Papa Mike, the hotel's conceirge, for suggestions for other historical sites in downtown.

    A piece of history. This is the location where JFK gave his last public speech prior to getting in the car and heading to Dallas. It's located right across the former Hotel Texas, now a Hilton, where he spent his last night. The memorial is well done with a statue, waterfall and wall are with historic pictures and information tablets. The place is peaceful and somewhat melancholic, which is appropriate for the site.

    The final public speech from JFK before his fateful day in Dallas. This simple monument captures the former President's persona in life sized statue along with historical markers and helpful information. It is tucked back in the middle of downtown Fort Worth near the convention center and hotel. It will only take 10-15 min to see and read the inscriptions but it's worth the time.

    I took a walk in downtown FortWorth. I would like to visit the JFK statue at the hotel. I visited on Tuesday, December 2nd. It was so cold. I found his statue. The statue gave " Courage" to me. Thank you.

    When you're in Dallas, remember to visit the beautiful downtown area -- enjoy the architecture and history -- all walkable.

    This was a really solid experience, especially for a 5-year-old. The space was wide open, clean,…read moreand easy to navigate, which made it stress-free and enjoyable for both kids and adults. There's plenty of room to explore without feeling crowded, and the overall atmosphere is calm and welcoming. That said, the museum does feel a bit dated in places. Several of the hands-on exhibits designed for kids -- especially the ones with buttons and interactive elements -- weren't working, which was a little disappointing since that's often what kids are most excited about. On the positive side, it's still better than the science museum in Houston, in our experience. The planetarium is one of the better ones around, and the absolute standout is the Omni Theater helicopter ride -- you simply cannot beat it. That alone is worth the visit and completely captivated our child. Overall, while some updates and maintenance would go a long way, this is still a strong family-friendly museum and a great outing for young kids.

If you're a member, depending on your membership, you're able to have 2 or more people go in with you for free. Which I feel is definitely worth it, especially if you have kiddos. I love that it's an interactive museum with many exhibits. You can take your kiddo/s here, and they can be entertained for hours. It's perfect for rainy days, or unfavorable weather days instead of just bring at home with your little one/s. This is a great spot to take them, and they will definitely let all their energy out. My little one enjoyed the Marvel section, especially since he got to wear a cape, the grocery store they have for the kiddos, as well as other interactive play areas within the museum. They have a café inside, and I'll have pictures of their menu. Oh, and you have to pay for parking, but if you're a member you're able to get a discount. My son had a good night's sleep after all the walking around. I highly recommend it to anyone who had little ones. They can run around or crawl for hours here.

It was one day after the Japanese Garden exhibit so there weren't a lot of people around, but the gardens were well maintained. The shuttle buses are helpful in getting to the far away parts of the garden. Our favorite part was the visit to the butterfly exhibit. They were releasing new butterflies and the staff was great with sharing information about the various species. I've been to other butterfly exhibit, and this was the most active population of various butterflies... Al displayed beautiful creativity of our amazing God! Would be better to have a bus stop at or near the gardens. Would have liked to see more flowers there... The rose beds were likely better a couple weeks before our arrival.

    I really hate to hear this museum is closing. It is such an amazing find. We spent HOURS here and…read moreit had a ton of people visiting it. It was definitely my favorite part of our trip to the area! I couldn't believe all the artifacts it possessed. Texas played a significant role in the American Civil War Secession: Texas joined the Confederacy in early 1861, a few weeks before the first shots were fired at Fort Sumter. Texas declared its secession from the Union on February 1, 1861, and joined the Confederate States on March 2, 1861, after it had replaced its governor, Sam Houston, who had refused to take an oath of allegiance to the Confederacy. Military: Nearly 90,000 Texans served in the military. Leaders of the Texas forces included legendary figures John Bell Hood, Albert Sidney Johnston, John Bankhead Magruder, Patrick Cleburne, and Ben McCulloch. Battles: Texas forces fought in many major battles, including Gettysburg, Antietam, Second Manassas, Wilson's Creek, The Wilderness, Vicksburg, Corinth, Shiloh, Chickamauga, Glorieta Pass, Pea Ridge, Gaine's Mill, Franklin, and Mansfield. Texas also defended its own coastline, repulsing Union invaders at Brownsville, Sabine Pass, Galveston, Corpus Christi, and Laredo. Blockades: The Union blockaded Galveston, Houston, and other ports, making it difficult for farmers to export their crops. Closing: The surrender of the Trans-Mississippi Department of the Confederacy at Galveston on June 2, 1865 was, as Capt. Benjamin Franklin Sands of the United States Navy noted, "the closing act of the Great Rebellion." Just a few weeks later on June 19, Gen. Gordon Granger, commander of U.S. troops in Texas, arrived in Galveston and ended slavery in Texas by issuing an order that the Emancipation Proclamation was in effect in Texas later to become known as Juneteenth.

It is so extraordinary how many personal pieces and artillery/weapons are on display for us to experience. The very last exhibit included Victorian dresses on display! So fascinating to see in detail the stitching and different types of fabric that these dresses boasted. It also detailed the different bustles and corsets women used. Regarding the Museum, there is ample parking and restrooms are located near the entrance. The gift shop has cool items that are reasonably priced. It is unfortunate they will be closing in December 2023 though.
