Raise a bottle of grog, wipe your matted beard on your sleeve and toast your knight at the Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament. This attraction will make you feel like royalty with its banquet-style theater in the round, and you can tour the grounds where period-costumed actors create a Medieval village experience.

The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza seeks to inform visitors about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on Nov. 22, 1963 as his motorcade drove through downtown Dallas and turned the fateful curve of Dealey Plaza at midday. Located on the sixth and seventh floors of the old Texas School Book Depository, the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza opened on Presidents Day in 1989. The self-guided tours include the most famous amateur film of the entire Kennedy assassination, known as the Zapruder film; the Orville Nix film, depicting the assassination from a reverse angle, showing part of the grassy knoll in the background; photography collections by Jay Skaggs, who took photos just before and after the assassination as he followed investigators around the plaza; and artifacts from the Kennedy funeral, including funeral cards, notes by First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy and other items.

Participate in the ongoing, communal act of being thankful at Thanks-Giving Square. The public park in Dallas includes various sections such as the Court of All Nations, the Wall of Praise and a mosaic based on Norman Rockwell's "The Golden Rule."
