Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum

My 8 year old and I went for Spring break as she was curious about what happened during the holocaust. We parked across a small parking garage for $10.83, and it was gated so it felt secure. Now I will say this, when you start the exhibit there will be a short 5-6 min introduction video about human rights and about the holocaust..when the video is over the lights shut off, the automatic doors on the right will open by themselves followed by creepy instrumental sound, and there’s a voice that says “come in” and its dark in the other room you need to walk into. Well I was alone with my small daughter literally just the TWO of us….when I tell yall that even freaked ME OUT…it felt like I was about to be sacrificed in a ritual…so hear me out make sure if you have small children..make sure there’s more people in the room so it doesn't feel terrifying..and not to be dramatic but my daughter was so scared after that happened she kept looking at every door. I felt so bad but I get it its part of the experience. Another thing I will say, this museum is about 99.9% reading…diagrams and pictures with data with lots of political information. If you are REALLY interested in learning about the holocaust, make sure you come by yourself or with an adult buddy or older child rather than with small child(ren) for the first time so you can actually read the information calmly. Last thing, ofc its self explanatory, but coming out of the museum I was depressed for the whole rest of the day, that I even cried myself to sleep bc Im an empath and it affected me seeing children victim photos, hearing the morbid testimonies from victims and gruesome facts about what happened. So please BE AWARE if you are a very emotional person, its better to hold off. FYI, takes about 3-4 hours to read mostly everything in detail but there’s little foldable chairs they offer which (I loved that detail!) Other than that, its a great place to learn about the holocaust in Dallas! Give it a try!

This is a very informative museum. I started out in the special exhibit which featured Rosenwald’s schools. There were beautiful black and white photos of the schools and back stories. I then moved to the 3rd floor to view the Holocaust / Shoah wing. Wow was this a powerful exhibit. It started with the Nazi take over and ended with hopeful stories of survival/life afterwards. The exhibit highlighted the atrocities, those responsible, how different countries were complicit or resistant, the videos were heart wrenching, but worth the time to watch, and they had a lot of artifacts on display. I then went into the Human Rights wing which followed the Nuremberg trials to Eleanor Roosevelt. The Ten Stages of Genocide was one of the most unique art installations I have seen. Finally I went through the America wing. It highlighted so many individuals I wasn’t aware of and encouraged visitors to be Upstanders. The final room with the bronze flame and names of victims of the wall really brought the whole experience back to reality. It was such a beautiful tribute and remembrance. I didn’t even cover everything that this museum contains because they really did any amazing job capturing that moment in time.

A small but lovely aviation museum. It has a nice collection of aircrafts and other contraptions related to aviation. A must if you're visiting Dallas. The entrance fees are really affordable.

Very powerful and sobering reminder of the depravity and immense human suffering that occur when gross violations of universal human rights, and genocide, happen. Oh how quickly we seem to forget. Keeping this reminder and proof of the Holocaust, and this warning against future genocide, is critical.

This was an epic experience that everyone should have. History repeats itself and is evident from these exhibits and present day life in the USA. The Rosenwald exhibit is personal for my parents and family members who attended these schools..i worked as a Park and Recreation Director at one of these schools.

The United Nations was largely the brainchild of President Roosevelt, and he and Eleanor contributed to the Declaration of Human Rights, which was signed in San Francisco June 26, 1945, and designed to prevent another genocide. Among the human rights our country joined others in acknowledging are: 💪the right to education 💪freedom from arbitrary arrest, detention, or exile 💪the right to be considered innocent until proven guilty 💪the right to freedom of opinion and expression 💪the right to seek asylum from other countries And so much more!!! These rights are under direct assault in our country. Instead, this administration’s actions align with the 10 steps to genocide identified by Gregory H Stanton of Genocide Watch. Visiting the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum was so affirming, as I watch education and other human rights under assault. I will not be silent. I will be an upstander!

Took the train to the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum during Community Day. Life changing and enlightening. We must never forget and must always make it a point to be an Upstander!

I wish I could rate this highly since we were so excited to go. But it turned into one of the most underwhelming and disappointing museums I’ve ever experienced. First off, the actual building is immaculate. It’s spotless with large beautiful rooms and lobby area. Additionally, every staff member we encountered were incredibly friendly and helpful. The parking garage directly across the street is also extremely easy to navigate. But unfortunately, the museum’s presentation is not good. It’s easy to navigate and the actual panels of information/displays were all thought out perfectly. But this museum is 98% reading. From the very first room you walk into to the last room before you exit the main exhibit, is nothing but endless rows of reading material. Don’t get me wrong, that’s a necessary part of any museum. But after only a few rooms, we gave up and started to pace through. It would take someone 4 hours to read everything presented in this museum. And I want to be very clear, I’m perfectly fine with having reading material in a museum and prefer it. But not when the entire trip through cost us close to $50 and I got nothing I couldn’t have read online for free. The only difference is the reading is on a panel on the wall and I had to pay money for it. Even if I really wanted to love this trip, I absolutely didn’t and left beyond disappointed.

I was here on a day when no tours were happening, so I had plenty of space and time to experience this museum. There is a ton to comb through, including pictures, displays, audio, and video. Plan to spend a couple of hours. For your convenience, there are little chairs you can take with you as you move throughout everything. Some parts of the museum felt like sacred spaces, and I am glad there were no kids or noise when I attended. Overall, this is an experience every teen and older should attend.

I sooo wanted to like this museum but my recent visit wasn't so great. For starters, I went on a Monday morning, and to be fair, the website warns about school groups visiting on weekdays. I figured we could just maneuver around them. WRONG! Basically EVERY middle school student in North Texas was there on my visit, making it nearly impossible to read all of the displays and features. Also the museum docent/guides that were leading the student groups seemed annoyed that we were there. The museum should really just consider closing to the public for these events. It really took away from the experience. Also, I'm not one for sugar coating history (even for kiddos), BUT the introduction film was a little intense for younger kids. A warning or disclaimer would have been appreciated. On the plus side, it's a beautiful space and the curators have done a great job relating the holocaust to 21st century genocide campaigns and local civil rights events. And I really enjoyed the Staurt Weitzman exhibit (such beautiful shoes!). Just don't EVER go on a weekday morning. And be prepared to read a lot!

A lot of reading to much human rights a lot of walking. Some interactive stuff and the restrooms are too far from the entrance

My friends really wanted to come here while we were in town and even though I didn't want too, I ended up tagging along. We bought our tickets on site and the employees were friendly. The tour started shortly after we arrived and inside we went. I thought I knew what to expect, but in reality I didn't. This place made me feel something I had never felt before. I cried the whole time and my feet felt very heavy. There is so much sadness throughout the entire building but in a way I'm glad that I was there. I enjoyed reading and learning about what these people went through. Stopped at the bathroom right before we left and I was able to reflect on what I had just seen and learned about. The bathroom was very quiet, white, and quite comforting actually. Definitely stop by and take time to step back to the past. This was an important event in human history and more people should be able to experience a museum like this...

Very powerful and sombering experience. I was in town for business and had a Sunday to myself for some mini adventures in downtown Dallas. Since I love learning, art, history, culture, etc. -- it was a natural move to look up some nearby museums to hit up. I'm so glad I found this one. Upon entry, visitors must have their bags screened and walk through a metal detector. Pretty standard these days. No big deal for extra safety. Once visitors are done with the screening, there is a check in area in which day passes are purchased. Depending on what demographic you fall in (adult, child, senior, student, military, educator, first responder, military, etc.) -- you will pay the respective price for admission. At the top of the self guided tour, visitors are welcomed to an introductory video going down history lane. I remember some of the content from history classes while in school so the documentary served as a refresher but also as an eye opener to how humanity was during that era. Chilling in so many ways. After the floor by floor walkthrough is done, visitors are welcome to an entire exhibit of timelines outlining the sequence of events. Walk through each part of the exhibits with an open heart, read through the passages, embrace the numbers and countries of those who were impacted -- it's a lot to soak in. I won't spoil what you will learn, feel, and understand after weaving through the halls of this museum because this is something you must experience for yourself. Just know that you will be in tune with various of emotions after completing the tour. I sure was astonished with how much I learned or re-learned after visiting this beautiful museum. Enjoy. Bring the little ones. They'll appreciate it.

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 entered into a small theater that showed 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.

I attended the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum to listen to a presentation on the Tulsa Race Massacre and view the Black Citizenship in the Age of Jim Crow. I did enjoy exploring and view the exhibit on the struggle for full citizenship and racial equality that unfolded in the 50 years after the Civil War. However, the presentation by Dr Karlos K Hill on the Tulsa Race Massacre was boring, lack valuable information, the power point presentation was poorly displayed. I was extremely disappointed and wished the President Mary Higgins and selected a better presenter. It was so bad after an hour of listening to him talk about nothing related to the massacre I left. Many people in attendance were falling asleep and playing on their phones. What a waste, this could have been so valuable. I spent that hour on my phone researching the massacre bc Dr Hall had no true valuable information in his speech

This was one of my favorite museums during my visit to Dallas. It was very informative, the displays were wonderful. I can't remember if entrance was free or not, pricing should be listed on their website. Parking was a bit of a hassle. Street parking is available, depending when you go you might not find any. There are parking garages available in the area. Overall I would recommend. If you are looking for more museums in Dallas, the Museum of Biblical Art was also wonderful.

It was a a learning experience for me and my family I am happy with this experience and I have no complaints It has clean restrooms, a good theater, and multiple seating areas

Thank you to all the wonderful docents of this beautiful Museum. All of you made us feel so welcome, mahalo to you I took my teen & her bf today. It was very emotional for me due to being Asian, Native American, African American & Swedish, Irish & Norwegian, that being said I'm so glad my European side had nothing to do with the Holocaust. Don't be a Bystander, be a Stand-upper. Stand upper here. Stop Bully's, Hate or we'll end up repeating the past. It's a bad thing to relive a horrible past but we must learn from the pain, let's work on making a better tomorrow. Please. Peace is greater than Hate Jules

We enjoyed our visit to Holocaust museum. It wasn't crowded. Simple to navigate, read and listen both in English and Spanish. Parking was easy too.

Beautiful museum with moving and educational material. Tons of reading material so bring comfortable shoes and reading glasses. I appreciated the exhibit on the history of genocide.

My husband and I briefly visited last year during an impromptu trip to Dallas. Upon considering some activities we want to do in a couple of weeks I was on their website and remembered I never completed this draft. I think I didn't complete it for a couple of reasons. I do struggle with more emotional reviews, I prefer mine to be more informational and I just wasn't sure how to remove that aspect. Also, at the time I planned on returning pretty quickly to spend more time on the tour, but didn't, and wasn't sure how accurate my review would be at that point. So read this knowing this was before their website encouraged masks and social distancing and I don't know how staffing is now. However, while on their website I did confirm the pricing and hours were the same. This trip was completely unplanned. We were driving by when my husband mentioned he had always wanted to go. I didn't even know this museum was here at the time and always had a particular interest, both because I find history in general fascinating, but mostly because part of my family is Jewish and immigrated here during WWII. Since there is a parking garage directly across the street we decided on a whim to visit. I don't think that's a very good idea, we only had a couple of hours to spare and that's just not enough time. I strongly recommend you plan to come here and spend more than just a couple of hours so you get the full experience. The museum is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays and is open Wednesday through Sunday from 10am to 5pm. This particular day it was a Saturday around 11am and it was fairly crowded. At the entrance there was a vestibule with two security guards that ran our items through an x-ray and had us walk through a scanner. There is a restroom you cant use until you buy tickets, a bookstore and three desks for purchasing tickets. There was a sign on the left saying cards only, but the woman that helped us said we could pay cash. However she didn't explain the sign or if it depended on which line we were in, so be safe and bring a card. You can also book tickets for a particular date and time and pay online too. Since my husband had his military id we got in for $28. Seniors, educators, military and first responders get a $2 discount while students get a $4 discount. This museum is not recommended for ages 12 and under and in general, I would agree. This is not the place for a tantrum or loud talking. You take your tickets to the other side of the first floor to get scanned and enter to watch an introductory presentation. This is designed to set the tone and it does. Afterwards you go upstairs where the presentation continues up several platforms. The lighting and timing of this presentation was somber and chilling and I felt an important start, but please note there is an elevator if you're with someone who cannot go up the stairs. Also note, since this was early 2020 we went up with a group of nearly two dozen strangers which made for a slow ascent. I don't know if that is still how they do it or if the groups are smaller now but the pace might be important to determine if your party wants to skip and use the elevator, which meets the group outside of double doors on the second floor. At this point it's a self guided tour and there are no signs indicating that you should start in one direction or another, but it makes the most sense if you move to the left. I thought they did an outstanding job with a variety of exhibits that chronicled the Holocaust from the start and not just the brief coverage you get in school. It was extensive, it was full of information and artifacts, most exhibits involved a lot of reading but will cover things you never knew. It's both thought provoking and emotional. The only reason I didn't find my first visit to be 5 stars was because it was extremely busy, crowded and even loud in parts. At this point I wish we had come on a weekday as my migraines are easily triggered by how loud it got in spots and crowds can give me anxiety. Mostly I mention this because I couldn't get close enough to read some exhibits due to large, unmoving crowds of people. I also saw an elderly couple being a bit rushed along by another group and noticed I didn't see any staff to discourage that kind of behavior. Perhaps with social distancing it's more orderly these days, but I would probably still choose to come on a weekday instead. I did see one group with a guide in one of the sections which seems cool, but no idea what that costs or what criteria there is to book one. Again, this was my own experience about 18 months ago and I cannot comment on what has changed since but I still strongly recommend you go, just plan your visit better than we did. The exhibits themselves are definitely 5 stars.

I applaud the museum for its effort to educate, but I felt like I was in a giant book. So much of the wall space was taken-up by wordy placards instead of exhibited artifacts. The museum boasts numerous artifacts, but it just doesn't seem like it. It all equates to a sterile environment that I could have gotten from a local library or YouTube video.

Very well done museum. A sad topic but it was very respectfully done. So much information, it's hard to go through it all. Very surprised at how many people were killed at each site. This definitely conveys the magnitude of the atrocities. The artifacts were vey interesting, although sad. Definitely recommend everyone checking this out and taking time to reflect on what occurred all those years ago.

Having been brought up with a great deal of knowledge of the Holocaust, I felt that I had a deep background of awareness of much of what is presented here, something which I did not anticipate. Nevertheless, the several-minutes long videos, the still photos, the oral testimonies, the objects (prisoner outfits, badges, real boxcars, etc.) added an a deeper layer of emotional knowledge for me. For most visitors here there is much to be learned & gained. The guides share a great deal of detailed knowledge in the hopes that people will come away understanding the reality of, the horror of millions of lives lost in the Holocaust & why it even occurred. The large room at the end of the main museum continues the story of human rights abuses, other holocausts, in countries such as China, Rwanda, Ukraine, & more. Lastly, there is a video presentation that surrounds the life & history of Ann Frank. It is all done very well & with a great deal of sensitivity & information. Give yourself adequate time to see it all (& believe that it really did happen).

Absolutely heartbreaking. Thus Musuem is well curated, after seeing the Holocaust museum in DC and twice Anne Frank Haus in Amsterdam, I must say that I was equally impressed. This Dallas Museum is impressive with the great collections of artifacts and history. They have a great AI program where visitors can ask Holocaust survivors questions. Jannine was our AI guest, and she told a moving, harrowing story of what she and her family went through, both her parents separated from her at a young age and they were killed by Nazis. She escaped just barely. It's so sad to read and see the visuals, but important to educate oneself to just how this bias, hate and anti-semitism happens. The hate and prejudice towards the Jewish people is disgusting, but those who learn and think I hope will appreciate what they went through, how and why democracy and tolerance is important, as well as compassion for those who are/have suffered.

Tasteful and moving exhibits about the Holocaust and other human rights atrocities. All the presentations are worthwhile, so definitely plan on staying at least a half day if you hope to experience everything.

I very greatly enjoy the Dallas Holocaust Museum. it is very educational and moving. There are permanent displays and interactive activities making the Holocaust time period understandable for younger generations. There is a rotating exhibit and also an area with a hologram of a survivor who describes their experience. Visitors can ask the hologram questions which the survivor will then answer. This exhibit is about an hour long. During the summer there are guest survivors who speak to the audience in the ampitheater. These are also very moving presentations which last about an hour. The museum entrance fee covers admission to all parts of the museum and all special programs that day. The museum is modern and extremely clean, has nearby parking, a reasonable entrance fee, many knowledgeable and available docents. It is always a great, but sobering visit.

I was so glad that I was able to fit this into my schedule when I visited Dallas. The museum was great. There is an app you can download and do a self guided audio tour. I highly recommend you visit.

Where does one start with a review of such a place? I'm a big fan of museums, history and culture; this place has a helping of each. It's very well laid out and is respectful of such a heavy topic. You start with a little dose of history to set perspective. I really appreciated that as it helps visitors who may not be familiar with Jewish beliefs. Makes it more personal, I think. This part is about 10 minutes and is timed due to prerecorded narration and a guided tour through a few areas. (There are stairs, but a staff member announced that if you'd prefer not to climb the stairs, they have accommodations-and you'd still have the same experience. I did not observe anyone taking advantage of that, so I'm not sure how it works.) After that, the rest of the museum is self guided. You can take as long as you'd like. Throughout the museum, there are a few artifacts-not as many as other exhibits, but I think they supplement the stories that are being shared, and are not the main attraction. Come here to learn, to listen and take in the history...not gawk at artifacts collected from the ruins of the Holocaust. My favorite part was the interactive theater at the end. The use of technology, education and perspective was so beautifully done that I wished it didn't end. While some may see it as "preachy" I felt that it was educational and encouraging and not pushy. This would be an appropriate place for adults and older children to visit. Younger children might get bored or disrupt the experience for other visitors.

The museum is excellent and pulls no punches in telling stories of unimaginable evil, and those who turned a blind eye to humanity. It's an emotional experience with artful storytelling and powerful imagery. Highly recommended.

Exceptional museum. Currently, you purchase tickets online for timed entry and they are still limiting capacity. Masks are required inside. The docents are friendly, engaging and willing to answer questions and inform. All the exhibits and theaters are included in your ticket price. The hologram interactive Q&A with survivors is a must see.

Having been to the old place, they were excited of what was to come and I was on the borderline of where it could go . . . However it went leaps above were it was! The new building is a beautiful structure and from the moment that you walk in you are on a journey to understanding what occurred as well as understanding the importance of how it occurred. Granted this does involve lots of reading as much of the information is shared stories of those who lived through the holocaust as well information about those who were tried for their roles during that time. However this museum also touches on what is happening in the world today that many people aren't aware about. I wouldn't recommend this place for small children however if your child can read then I feel like you would be able to have some great discussions after your visit.

I would definitely come back. A lot of information and really made you put things into perspective.

No words. Uncertain how the political and military leaders watched the events unfold without taking action sooner. Apathy, indifference? What would have been had the virtue and might of the United States not joined the fight against Hitler's Germany?

I had spent a year learning about WW2 and the Holocaust and was looking forward to my visit. There were few artifacts and every inch of the exhibit was covered in reading material but I expected that. I really enjoyed learning of local DFW families journey after the Holocaust. Most disappointedly... the Holocaust took a backseat to the LGBT stuff that was everywhere during our visit from being highlighted in the lobby, to being the majority of the gift store. The aligning, minor or otherwise, of LGBT history to the Holocaust was uncomfortable and heartbreaking.

I'm. I siting my brother this week from phx. We wanted to check out this museum. He had never been. I've been to the holocaust museums in Los Angeles and Washington DC. Dallas isn't as big but it is just as good. The entire museum is well planned out. It's thought provoking. As a Jew I believe we must never forget.

it's moving, it makes you emotional, it causes you to hold space for those who experienced this evil and lost their lives. it something all should see. The displays were well thought out and so powerful! I'm grateful for those who make this museum what it is It's a must see

Went by myself for 4 hours! It's so fun! I left really depressed, but in a good way. Best museum I've been too!

I have been here two times. The second time we brought a friend from LA. We all were mesmerized by the experience. Can't say we enjoyed it because of the material it was designed to depict. I was happy to see young folks from a local school taking the tour. Even though these events occurred many decades before they were born, I think it is important for everyone to understand what happened to the Jews and others because of hate. I told my wife as we left that if someone experienced this, and other museums that tell about the atrocities that occured, they may not use the terms Nazi and racist so casually in today's society. I have been to other holocaust museums in Israel, Germany and Los Angeles. This place is unique and a good experience.

Excellent museum with lots of information. Their last wing about genocide is really weird and not very helpful though. They use the term "upstander" to describe people who helped the Jews; it's a really dumb sounding term but the idea behind it is great.

It was fine ....I wish they had more artifacts but oh well. Staff was beyond amazing....THANK YOU

First of all, this is not a typical museum with artifacts, but it is a story museum with pictures and narratives. A visit requires a lot of reading or watching clips on monitors with a few artifacts. Although the story is interesting and educates on what lead up to the holocaust starting with the timeline after WWI, we wished that there were more artifacts rather than feeling like we were in a big textbook. Sorry, but a handful of bullets, a canister, and some clothes does not equate to "many artifacts." Take a look at the posted pictures and you will experience the clothes and bullets artifacts. Allow me to pause for a Public Service Announcement: Parents, please note that this museum is NOT for your young children who are unable to read. Your child will be bored and run around unless you supervise the child. In addition, the topic of this museum is too heavy for your small child to grasp, so please keep the child at home, so the rest of us can enjoy the exhibit... thank you... Like one of the other reviewers said, we felt that the Human Rights wing was preachy. We felt that the message given is that if we are not an "Upstander" and do something about human rights in the world, then you are mere bystander. It felt that there was a liberal guilt trip for us to don our t-shirts, wave our signs, and make a stand. Nothing inspiring about the preachy message. Hubby and I ended up walking past this entire section with a lack of interest. Tickets are $16.00/person. The parking garage is across the street and charges $4.00/hour with a max of $12.00... credit card only. This museum is good for those who want to learn or re-learn the story of the holocaust, but do not expect to see many artifacts from the holocaust.

Really well laid out. You feel like you can see everything and understand the timeline. Its somewhere you can take kids but maybe more around age 10. Also depends on maturity of your child. I love that it covers how a person can recognize signs of racism, etc and help prevent this from happening in again. Also about what an bystander is and how to be one. Here you see a remembrance hall and also other countries where the same issues are currently happening. Just an all around laid out museum. They do have their own parking $12 max or $4 per hour. Its across the street from the museum. You have a short video to give an intro to what you'll see and the there's landings giving you bearing too. Then you'll walk into the exhibits. I believe my 13yr old would really benefit from this. Later! On to my next exhibit!

What an emotional and educational museum. There was so much informative stuff varying from the life of Hitler to the life after war. It was bittersweet hearing the survivors stories & how they kept great faith & perseverance. What a rewarding life the Lord will grant, even though they didn't deserve such hatred acts or torture, it was most amazing and surreal exhibit. Rest In Peace to those who were lost and kept strong, this country and the people. I highly recommend this museum. My friend is active military and we had free admission.

I was really hopeful for this museum. So many people had said it was really moving and emotional, so I went in with those expectations. It felt like immediate information overload. There was SOOOOO much reading, and with my A.D.D. of a brain it really was too much. I did enjoy the few tv's they had going with short videos. I wish this museum would have had the option for headphones or some type of personal interactive device so those who struggle with focusing could experience the whole experience fully. The building is nice and well kept. I do hope in the future they add an area for the civil rights movement that began in 2020. I enjoyed the photos and the boxes that had items to visually explore quite a bit! I will say my review is completely from my perspective so you may really enjoy it!

I'm a huge history fan - and I thoroughly enjoy museums! When visiting the city, I knew I wanted to explore here. I was not disappointed! From the safely protocols when we first walked in to the very last minute until closing! We pretty much were there all day! Such a great and informative institution! Exhibits were beautifully done and well featured. Highly recommended!

It was a really nice museum. Definitely everything you expect of it and everyone inside was respectful of one another with no one being loud or rude. Very informative and interesting but sad.

This is a must visit if you are a history lover or just want to know more about the Holocaust. I was very impressed and immersed in the exhibits. I also need to mention the "Ten Stages of Genocide" exhibit. It was amazing. The graphic novels provided by the museum are great but if you don't have time to read everything then you can always buy the bundle at the gift shop. As a teacher I decided to buy the collection of graphic novels to use them in my classroom.

Amazing, don't miss this. Friendly staff, powerful exhibit that left us emotionally exhausted which is a good thing. Highly recommend

Went today with my 12 year old during a 2 day Dallas trip. She wanted to go, and I am so glad we did. What a well-run, amazing experience! If you have time, definitely sign up for the holographic Q&A with a holocaust survivor (no additional charge). It was incredible and made the experience so much more meaningful for both of us. Super impressed and will definitely recommend!

This is my first time visiting the new museum and I have to say it is so amazing . I loved it so much from the detail to the friendly staff . We can't wait to come back again .

Excellent museum. Many well done video exhibits. The very unique hologram exhibit allows one to interact with a survivor as though they are actually sitting in front of you; very clever and well done. The new building is beautiful and a walkable distance from Klyde Warren Park. Having been to Holocaust Museums in many cities, including Berlin, I found the exhibits and information in the Dallas museum to be outstanding.

Good museum with interactives and firsthand accounts of the Holocaust from local survivors. I also like their explanation and use of the term upstander. By not doing anything, we are complicit in wrongdoing as well. The exhibit towards the end where we understand more about human rights in the world currently is well-done. The museum is laid out well with good flow. We were on a field trip so I'm not sure about the parking but it seems like it could be problematic. I would expect to spend an hour and a half there. There are bathrooms midway through the exhibits.

This museum handles a difficult part of history really well. There was so much information, and they present it in a way that it isn't boring. I spent the entire day here, and learned so much. They did a very good job honoring the victims and survivors, and I appreciated learning about uplifting stories, such as people who helped fight back and saved victims. This helped make the topic a little less depressing. I really enjoyed the interactive talk with survivors at the end. I also liked the room at the end, which honored victims. It was a beautiful and thoughtful tribute to those who suffered from the tragedy. I was hesitant to visit this museum because I thought it would be depressing. Though the subject matter is very sad, the museum presents it in a very thoughtful and caring way.

Great experience! I thought the whole museum gave so much great information and taught me things I didn't know before! As for the previous review about there not being as many artifacts- I thought there was just enough, and it still told several stories and gave so much history from the Holocaust. I really enjoyed their amazing "Dimensions in Testimony" theater, which allowed visitors to interact with a hologram of a real holocaust survivor. In short- well worth the money and I will be back again!

I've been to museums around the world however this was a pleasant surprise. Very informative, riveting, educational and interactive. This is a must see if you are interested in The Holocaust. I'm Jewish so teared up while walking around. It's one of only two museums with the interactive Shoah Holocaust survivor experience.

Super big museum Some parts are audio, and interactive Expect to spend minimal Atleast 1-2 hours Very detailed and insightful history from the past Museum was easy to maneuver through and is ADA friendly

Great museum highly recommend. Slightly better than the one in Washington ( and I thought that one was really good)
