John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza

John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza holds Philip Johnson’s open-roof memorial enclosure near Dealey Plaza. The stark structure creates a separate place for reflection on the president’s death.

John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza

Why go

Philip Johnson’s spare enclosure leaves the sky open above a space set apart from the surrounding streets. Its restraint asks visitors to pause with the memory of Kennedy rather than retrace events on the nearby roadway. Pairing it with Dealey Plaza reveals two different ways Dallas presents this history: one through the physical setting of the assassination, the other through a purpose-built memorial.

What to look for

  • Philip Johnson’s open-roof memorial enclosure
  • A reflective setting near Dealey Plaza

Useful to know

  • Allow roughly 10–30 minutes for the memorial.
  • The Sixth Floor Museum is a separate visit nearby.
