While the John F. Kennedy Memorial isn’t exactly the most fun or exciting place to visit, it’s an excellent place to pay respect to one of America’s most well-regarded presidents. Conveniently, it’s also an excellent place to enjoy a beautiful afternoon out with the family.

A silent tribute to America’s 35th President, the memorial is a must-see attraction for families touring through Hyannis. Overlooking the Hyannis Harbor, it is an excellent place to relax, picnic and sightsee with the family. It is also located in very close proximity a Korean War Memorial in Veterans Memorial Park, also an excellent picnicking spot overlooking the harbor.

When you’re done experiencing the humbling silence and tranquility of the memorial, head over to the John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum, located just a mile away from the memorial.
