Day 3: Step into history with our JFK Experience with a local guide. Our first stop is at The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza. The Museum, located within the former Texas School Book Depository building, chronicles the assassination and legacy of President John F. Kennedy. We then visit places like the JFK Memorial Plaza, learn stories of eyewitness accounts, discover the details of what was going on in the School Book Depository, in Dealey Plaza, on the Grassy Knoll, and in the presidential motorcade. We also see the Texas Theatre where Oswald was arrested and the Oswald rooming house. Explore the facts and recount the incredible coincidences and timings that culminated in the event that shocked the world. This is a very memorable experience. Back in Grapevine, step into a night of mystery, laughter, and unforgettable fun at the Texas Star Dinner Theatre. Enjoy a delicious chef‑prepared dinner while you become part of the action. This day is a highlight in the shared memories of travelers. (B, L, D)
