Family Libraries is a great company. Helping children from all walks of life through the love and joy of poetry, writing, story telling, literature, and literacy. 🥰💪🏾👍🏾
No Library found on this address.
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.
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.

It has only one floor to explore. Mostly contain movies, videos, and voice record. Not much items to see compare to other presidential library. The upset point is that they go directly through presidency but don’t tell the story of JFK when he was a senator or his accomplishment that time. By the way, the library is clean. There are many restrooms. Not much souvenir sell in this place.
Covering the presidency and life of JFK, this is a very well-presented museum with a lot to offer. It's not a place for controversy, but rather covers the key points of his career and life.
The first stop is a movie (don't miss the exhibits outside while you wait to enter) which is about 20 minutes long and takes you up to the Democratic nomination. From there, you head into the main exhibits chronologically. Don't miss the movie on the Cuban Missile Crisis- it's really interesting and hearing the actual voice recordings and discussions is very thought-provoking. There's sections on Jackie and RFK too- one of the most interesting is Jackie's work on preservation in the White House! From artifacts to videos to interactive screens, there's something for everyone and the rooms are big so do absorb the numbers of visitors well too.
There's a small cafe (with beautiful views!) and a good, if a little pricey, gift shop!

It was a nice museum, it didn't focus at all on his death or his own family with Jackie. It felt very sterile. Maybe that is how they wanted it but other presidential museums felt more personal.
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!

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 👌
Fascinating journey through JFK's life and political career, with very informative and engaging exhibits and videos. The building itself is a marvel -- I could've simply stayed in the breathtaking atrium for the whole time and be satisfied. Surrounding grounds also have beautiful and relaxing views of the harbor. Staff was very friendly, and the small cafe had very reasonably priced sandwiches and salads that were quite good.
The main drawback is getting here, especially if you're staying in downtown Boston or Cambridge and hope to use public transit. You have to take the Red Line to the JFK stop (which is a long T ride from Harvard Square), then switch to a free bus shuttle. We ended up using Uber instead.

Absolutely spectacular library! The staff are amazing - will drop everything to help you. Friendly, professional, smart and funny. Well worth a visit if you've never been here! Kara Jackman in particular has spent many hours helping me with library projects, but every single staff member there is a superstar. Thanks, wonderful librarians!
This is a fine library. It is bu know means a leading theological library. It has many of the books you would want but not all. There is not much space for the library because of the building/ space limitations. There are not comfortable seats to sit and read for a while and unfortunately food is allowed in the library so frequently you have neighbors with smelly food at their table.
