John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum

Even if you aren't a massive history buff, this place is worth visiting just for the architecture and the location right on Columbia Point. The pavilion overlooking the water is spectacular and a great place to sit and reflect after walking through the exhibits. The museum itself is very well organized, with plenty of immersive videos, photographs, and artifacts (including pieces on Jackie Kennedy and the Space Race). Very clean, plenty of parking, and a wonderful way to spend an afternoon in Boston.

Awesome museum. JFK’s presidency only lasted all but 2 years yet his legacy has left a permanent impact that’s worth remembering for decades to come. I enjoyed browsing through this massive museum and found the collection gathered from his presidency to be both plentiful and in good condition. The mini documentary they showed in the movie theater room about JFK’s life and his actions during the Cuban Missile Crisis was also a neat thing to experience as well. Also I love loved the presidential pets exhibit they displayed towards the exit. I thought it was a good touch to diffuse all the heaviness that went behind JFK’s short career as president and his tragic demise.

Wonderful tour of the life of JFK and his accomplishments. Jackie O's life and contributions while first Lady were also highlighted. It was very emotional watching the actual news footage breaks announcing the assassination.

Very nice experience and lots of information about the family and various events during Kennedy's presidency, though the section on his assassination lacked a bit in my opinion, though I recognize that is not something the family wants to think about. Overall, though, I would recommend visiting the JFK Presidential Library.

Appreciate the free parking. Museum is well done however there is a lot of reading. Would’ve appreciated to see more Kennedy memorabilia. Agreed to learn about the life and presidency of Kennedy. The presidents’ Pet exhibit was a wonderful bonus.

Great experience, beautiful location. JFK was such an admirable president prior but after learning the details I'm so much more of a fan. Great exhibits that capture the era of the 50's and 60's. Loved the story of the coconut, hadn't heard it before and no wonder in some ways he probably thought of his life as a gift. Makes me want to rewatch the old PT109 movie that I saw many times growing up. Beautiful location that is accessible via MBTA with free easy to use shuttle. Nice staff. Cafe is a joke so plan to eat somewhere else. Nice site to get "out of the city" to mix up the sightseeing. Reasonable entry fee.

Great visit. Lots of informative displays and films. Free, easy parking. Good views of the harborside.
