The Sixth Floor Museum

The Sixth Floor Museum is a tribute to John F. Kennedy.

Kennedy in 1963. The museum aims to give visitors a feel of the cultural climate in the 1960 and the events surrounding JFK's life, assassination and death.

Medieval Times

For a glimpse into the 11th century, Medieval Times is a must. This unique experience is furthered by the fish-filled moat under the drawbridge and the medieval castle. Seated in the restaurant, awaiting your meal, you will be greeted by the host of the evening, a castle nobleman and entertained by period-costume-clad staff. These include jesters and jugglers, dancers and musicians, knights and damsels. The staff aim to create the setting in which you can enjoy a somewhat unusual, but highly entertaining dinner meal.
