Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum - Museum in Dallas - 300 N Houston St, USA

This weekend, my husband, our 4 kids, and I visited the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum for Holocaust Remembrance Day. Initially, I was unsure about bringing our 10-year-old daughter after reading some reviews, fearing it might be too challenging for her. To my delight, she actively participated, leading the group, and engaging with questions. The museum itself offered a profound experience, featuring exhibits that vividly portrayed the historical events. From personal stories to artifacts, it painted a poignant picture of the Holocaust. Our 10-year-old, despite my initial concerns, found the museum both accessible and thought-provoking. The person leading part of the tour, whose name I unfortunately didn't catch, added a personal touch to our experience, making it truly special. The way she conveyed the stories and connected with the audience enhanced the educational value. Overall, the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum provided an enlightening and empowering journey through history. It is not only a must-visit for its educational importance but also for the personal growth and reflection it inspires. I'm grateful we took our kids, and I wholeheartedly recommend it for families looking to instill empathy and understanding in their children. The museum's call to action for humanity resonated deeply, making our visit both memorable and impactful.

This, by far, in my opinion, has been the best museum I have visited in a while. From the first exhibit to the last, everything was very informative, different, and easy to navigate. The exhibit entrance consisted of waiting for the double doors to unlock which you ent we r in a small theater and shows you a small video. Once that video ends, another set of doors unlock, and you walk into some more videos. Once you are done with that, you get to self guide your way into the holocaust exhibits from the beginning of the timeline to the end. All exhibits were very informative, and I LOVED that offered pieces clothes and trinkets that they would use from back in those times for you to actually picture it and visualize it. You got to see and somewhat feel how these survivors lived back in the day and really give you a sense of what they had to go through. The best exhibit, in my opinion, was in the interactive hologram survivor. You go into a theater like space, sit through the opening life of one of the survivors, and then you see a hologram of the actual survivor sitting there as if they were actually there. You are able to stand up, ask them a question, and they will respond in real time. It was just very magical for me. Helped put things much more into perspective. Overall, the whole museum was great. It's very straightforward, easy to navigate, and you don't miss a thing. I definitely recommend this location if you are ever in the city visiting.

This was a great museum! It was informative and very sad to go through. I didn't take a lot of pictures because how do you take pictures of something so horrific? It was a busy area to drive around and you pay for parking everywhere.

The staff was very informative, I could picture every word as they described events during the Holocaust. I really liked that they had audio options for people whom spoke other languages, and couldn't read the displays. As someone with dyslexia this was very helpful! Parking was $4 per hour, you use an app to pay for the parking.

Such sad moment in history but this museum captured it perfectly. It is a must to visit. Each section of the museum was carefully crafted to immerse you into the time in history. I was flooded with emotions and moved by the way they made thus truly feel like you were there in those moments with those who suffered. It was truly awakening. I recommend taking the family as thus will give you far more insight than any school class.

Very nice museum! I learned much during my visit. The Dimensions in Testimony Theater was very impactful. Some responses were very short and others were very elaborate. It felt very real that I was sitting with the person.

What an awesome museum! We learned so much here. This is why we should continue to support art and museums because these are the stories of those voices that are not here to tell their stories.

I would give this place more stars if I could. It is absolutely amazing and filled with valuable information. I wish we could have dedicated a day to each gallery so we could take the time to read through everything and really immerse ourselves into it all. We watched the documentary, and we did the interactive holographic interview with a holocaust survivor. I highly suggest doing both. It was a great learning experience. I can't say enough good things about this museum. For 2 adults and 2 children, it was $62. Parking was about $12.
