John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum - Library in Boston - Columbia Point, USA

The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum is the nicest of the 6 Presidential Libraries I’ve been to. Little Know fact of the 5 or 6 buildings with a Presidential Seal JFK Commissioned the one in Boston’s historic Custom House which sits on Freedom Trail. Look up in the rotunda. The John F. Kennedy Library has a modern art feel to the building design and the interior is clean and well lit. Even the bathrooms were clean. The staff were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. There are a plethora of interesting historical displays on his election, time in office, wife’s roll and beautiful dresses as well as NASA Freedom 7 display. Many of the displays and halls are designed to replicate the Whitehouse during his time in office.

This is a must-visit site in Boston that gives you a great glimpse into the time period and some of the major achievements under the Kennedy Presidency. I would plan on spending at least three hours for a non-rushed visit. However, I'm rating it 4 stars as the museum leaves out the well-documented scandalous parts of JFK's life. I do not think the JFK Presidential Library has to leave out these aspects of history in order to achieve their goal of educating visitors on JFK's life and vision. I would hope that the museum will decide in the future to further educate visitors on JFK's struggles as it seems to portray his presidency with rose-colored glasses.

I visited on Dec 26th. We were anxious about the parking as some said it’s limited. At least when we went, it was only 70% full. The visit was really great. This museum is underrated. We spent 3-4 hrs in the place. The museum staff is very polite especially the guy at the cafe. The toilets are extremely clean. We had a great time.

Wonderful museum that is well kept. Had a great time learning about JFK and his contributions to the US. The only downside was the T ride down here. A bit of a trek from downtown Boston.

Présentation bien documentée de la carrière du président JFK. Un court film décrit les années qui l’ont porté vers sa victoire comme représentant démocrate à la présidence. L’exposition par la suite explique les différentes aspects de sa présidence, qui a couvert 3 années marquantes de cette époque: la course de l’espace, la question raciale, la crise de Cuba, etc. Le site sur le bord de la mer est exceptionnel. Le stationnement est gratuit.

Impressive, the exhibition and the man. The White House atmosphere, and all the original footage and memorabilia make it an historically sensational experience. We learned a lot about JFK and his vision and are thankful for that.

A must visit for anyone taking a trip to Boston. Stunning piece of history presented in an amazing way. The show right in the beginning sets the tone of the journey. The collection are presented in a way that is all you have to do is to follow the corridor exiting the movie hall. Amazing. The area surrounding the library and museum is even better. There are small pier, some really nice grassy picnic area, walk along the harbor. This place will never bore. Awesome 👌

The Library is very informative and goes over the key successes of the Kennedy administration. The museum is fairly non partisan and has many well-made informative videos that educate you on the time period. One of the best parts of the museum is a showcase of artifacts at the museum. The artifact is displayed in a case, given a description, and and image shows the artifact in use during some sort of ceremony. Informative and fun! Definitely would recommend!
