The John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum, located on Main Street in Hyannis, offers a more personal look at the 35th president of the United States compared to its larger counterpart in Boston. Visitors are greeted by a statue of a young JFK walking barefoot through beach grass.
This is a very interesting and informative museum about the life of John Kennedy and his family. We spent several hours walking through the museum and learning about the President and family members. From his childhood up to when he was assinated. There is also a section about the life of John Kennedy,Jr and the tragic plane accident which ended his an his wife lives. This is a must see museum when you are here.

We went here on a rainy day. Best spot to park was the lot behind it. Trying to find parking otherwise would have been a chore. If you are a fan of JFK or American history, definitely stop in at least once. There are some videos as you go through, but it's basically a self-guided tour. It was a well-done presentation of his life and career, heavily flavored with his love of the Cape.

Well worth seeing. Small museum but well laid out exhibits on the story of the Kennedy family and their home on Hyanasport. Special exhibits. When we were there the special exhibit focused on JFK Jr.

Ann and Janice were terrific! The museum brought back sad memories. But the displays were very ordinary with no pizazz. If it weren't for Janice and Ann being wonderful ambassadors to the museum, I'm not dure I'd remember much at all.

Well worth a visit. The ladies working behind the reception were very friendly and polite and have some good advice. The museum is detailed and covers all parts of JFK's life, along with his wife and his siblings. Many photographs and videos are on display and it is easy to park in the car park behind the museum (for free)

I really enjoyed this small, lovingly assembled museum. What makes it special is its focus on JFK's private life with his family, which you don't often see. It presents a new and very human perspective on a historical icon, highlighted by many beautiful and fascinating photos. Highly recommended.

Very nice little museum with an operational wooden boat shop you can wander around. Don't miss the barn out back with several historic boats on display. Their latest restored wooden boat on display out back just won best in show at the Mystic wooden boat show. Very nice restoration work.

True to its name, Cape Cod Maritime Museum was by far the most comprehensive history of Cape Cod that I could find and is a great stop for invested historians, although people with a more casual interest in history will be overwhelmed by the amount of reading. This museum is open all year, Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults; $8 for seniors, students, and veterans; $5 for children ages 3 to 5 plus groups of ten or more who book ahead of time; and $0 for children under 3, active duty military, first responders, and NEMA members (like me!). The museum website mentions the space being ADA compliant, possibly because it has an entrance ramp and an elevator. However, lighting was inconsistent, galleries had little to no seating, and several loud videos played on repeat with no option for the visitor to pause them or turn down the volume. Additionally, the website contains many contrast errors from white text on a light background, along with no alt text for images and icons, a header menu that was difficult to navigate, and no search button.

Such a wonderful little museum! We visited on free admission day, it was so nice we left a donation. There is a very nice collection of scrimshaw on display. Many old boats, life size and models. There is a great interactive workshop downstairs and a nice courtyard outside that overlooks the harbor. Lots to see and do for a "small" museum!

This museum is fantastic. It packs a lot in. Pictures, maps, and digrams are great, but the information provided with each display is very informative and the care is apparent. Patricia was fantastic to talk to and gave us insight into the museum and history as well as the programs they run that allow the kids to learn about building boats. Would highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time! Karen was a great host, we learned a lot! Our server was excellent as well! All the staff were wonderful! the popcorn was super buttery and salty, it was perfect! the seats were very comfortable. It was a great way to learn about the area and see key sights. We even saw some cool wildlife. Highly recommend. The gift shop was super cute and fairly priced. My train fanatic son and husband loved it. On Friday we went to buzzard Bay recreation area and watched the train go by and use the vertical railroad lift! there's also a splash pad and playground there and trail to bike or walk along the canal! made our trip perfect!

This was a guided train tour. Scenic views that goes about 50 miles round trip through Cape Cod. There was a very informative lady offering the history of different things we would pass by. She was entertaining and mentioned random things like that Massachusetts drivers don't often use turn signals or that if you are going to Dunkin Doughnuts that if you order a "regular" it will have cream and sugar. This was a relaxing ride and a chance to enjoy the Cape Cod scenery. Driving through Cape Cod if nice, but many of the roads are winding and tough to enjoy the scenery since you have to keep your eyes on the road.

Absolutely delicious! On the dinner train I had the salmon, it was the best I ever had, and I eat a lot of salmon. All of the sides, the salad, crudite, and the harvest chowder, all excellent! Great service as well, and the conductor made sure that we got to go over the bridge. I'll come back every year 👏

Today we celebrated my brother’s birthday with a large party (7). Booking was done via phone because we had a special request (wanted to bring our own bday cake). The booking agents were also very accommodating when I called a second time to switch the date! The parking staff and the storefront folks were very helpful and courteous too! The food was great! My only comments are that I should have asked for syrup on the side of my french toast (it was so sweet). Everyone loved their salmon and chicken & waffles. Our waitstaff, Jen, Bryson and Amy were terrific! They worked seamlessly like a well oiled machine!

Park
Kalmus Beach, located in Hyannis on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, is a popular destination known for its large expanse of white sand and calm waters. It's a favorite spot for windsurfers and swimmers alike, with seasonal lifeguards ensuring safety. Visitors can enjoy various activities such as picnicking, beachcombing for shells and starfish, or simply basking in the sun.
We love this beach. You have the protected Oceanside where you can watch all the ferries and fishing boats coming and going or you can choose the harbour side where the water is a bit warmer and less seaweed. They have seasonal washrooms and snack bar. After Labour Day it's closed but there are portable toilets as well.

I got off on a bad foot with this town with its $8 toothbrush and $17 charger block. But then I walked to this beach and swam like a dolphin in its warm soft water and gathered beauuutiful seashells. My two favorite beach activities :D There were not many other people on this beach, although on each side of me there was a wedding happening. Also the seagulls were chill, these 2 told me their life story and it was heart breaking. I wanted to give them some bread so bad, but I understood the consequences. Anyways the real delights of cape code can be enjoyed for free. Just don’t forget any toiletries before you come here.

Seafood restaurant
The Naked Oyster Bistro & Raw Bar is a chic dining spot located in downtown Hyannis, offering a modern space and a diverse menu featuring creative seafood dishes and an extensive wine list. The restaurant prides itself on using the freshest ingredients sourced from local fishermen and farmers, including oysters from its own farm in Barnstable Harbor. The cozy interior with exposed brick walls, original artwork, and modern light fixtures sets the stage for a delightful dining experience.
Everything was really tasty, service was good. A bit pricy though, and the shrimp was overcooked a bit for my taste, being kind of tough. The dessert of chocolate flan was excellent, I especially liked the flakes of salt on top.

Amazing night tonight at Naked Oyster. We ordered local fresh oysters with caviar and plain plus a colossal shrimp cocktail, the house salad, followed by sea bass special and salmon with a Tzatziki sauce and cooked perfectly. We decided to order the top three desserts- crème brulée, chocolate mousse and the cheesecake dessert were amazing! 10 out of 10 rating!!! Colleen was an incredible bartender-waitress for us at the bar!! My Mom passed away back in 1988, and her name was Florence. When I heard that the chef name is "Florence" I felt as if it was my Mom cooking for us, because my Mom was an incredible chef too! Loved every aspect of the meal, and hope to come back and meet the chef, Florence! Outstanding service and food! Thank you for a wonderful meal! XO

Excellent Caesar salad, and very good chicken in vodka sauce over penne. I requested two cherry peppers on the side, and the chef kindly provided them. I added slices of the hot pepper to the vodka sauce to give it some heat. The resulting dish was similar to Chicken Riggies, a popular regional dish found on menus at Italian restaurants in upstate New York. I recommend you skip the garlic bread appetizer and enjoy the complimentary warm bread provided for the table with requested butter. UPDATE-1: The Caesar salad is still exceptional. You can taste the garlic and anchovies as expected in a good Caesar dressing. For the first time, I ordered Alberto's chicken which comes with mushrooms, sauteed red and yellow bell pepper strips, and quartered, marinated artichokes in a very delicious sauce. This is one of the best dishes I've had in an Italian restaurant in years. Highly recommended! My wife enjoyed the meatball appetizer and a side of pasta with marinara sauce. She also enjoyed the mushrooms that accompanied her chicken marsala but thought the sauce was a bit thin and didn't adhere well to the chicken. The service was excellent and the ambience was great for sharing food with friends and family. There are a lot of tourist-trap type restaurants in Hyannis, but Alberto's is the real deal and it's why they draw enough local diners to stay open all year. UPDATE-2: I repeated my order of Caesar salad followed by Alberto's chicken. An excellent meal. Our friend ordered the shrimp and scallop Florentine and my wife created her own combination by ordering a manicotti appetizer plus a side of seared scallops. Both enjoyed their meal.

Peruvian restaurant
Italian restaurant
Tumi Ceviche Bar & Ristorante is a vibrant spot that offers a fusion of traditional Peruvian and Italian cuisine in a relaxed setting. The restaurant features an open kitchen where diners can watch the chefs at work. With nine different varieties of ceviche, including vegetarian options, as well as raw shellfish and seafood pasta, Tumi provides a diverse culinary experience.
I visited Tumi on Saturday March 22nd, 2025. It was an overcast and dreary day when we went. We arrived there around 1:30 p.m. and found the restaurant a little tricky to locate. Once we did, we were surprised to find the restaurant empty of customers. We debated whether we should go in or not and, in the end, decided to take a chance. The restaurant was very nice and inviting inside and we had a fine table to view, look at and admire all the décor covering the walls. We ended up trying 2 different appetizers; the Andean Octopus (Wood grilled Spanish octopus, cucumber aioli sauce (Peruvian sauce), roasted potatoes, arugula onion salad) and the Mixto Ceviche (Shrimp, fish of the day, octopus, mussels, fresh lime juice, onions, fried yucca). The Andean Octopus was fantastic, and the Mixto Ceviche was out of the world delicious. The Octopus was cooked perfectly and was so tender with delicious flavor. The Ceviche was the best Ceviche I have had in many years. It was as fresh as possible, and the serving size was certainly plenty. They do not skimp on portion size here. For Entrees we ordered the Peruvian Paella (Shrimp, scallops, clams, mussels, ½ wood grilled lobster tail, calamari, Jazmin rice, aji panca, red bell pepper) and the Lamb Osso Bucco (Peruvian style, braised lamb shank with aji amarillo, Peruvian beer, vegetables, cilantro, served with shiitake mushrooms risotto, white kidney beans). The rice in the Paella had a wonderful light flavor to it and was cooked perfectly. It had plenty of seafood in it for an individual. I have to say the clams were pretty good size and were probably the best clam I’ve ever eaten. The Lamb Osso Bucco was also the best I’ve ever had. The lamb was braised perfectly, and the meat just fell off the bone. The sauce it was in was delicious as well. The shitake mushroom risotto was creamy, delicious and cooked perfectly. For dessert we ordered the Panna Cotta ((Egg-less-custard) Madagascar Vanilla bean, milk, cream, gelatin) and the Homemade Ice Cream of the day which was passionfruit (a favorite flavor of mine). The Panna Cotta was light and creamy and came with a strawberry and a little bit of strawberry gelee. The Passionfruit Ice Cream was very delicious, and the two scoops were more than enough for dessert. Overall, we had a very nice experience at Tumi and look forward to going again for sure. We are curious what the place looks like at nighttime with the lights on inside. Overall I give this place a 5!

The lobster risotto was delicious, the rice packed a ton of flavor and the grilled half lobster has a nice slight char flavor.

This place is AMAZING. If you get nothing else, you MUST get the Osso Buco. The meat perfectly melts on the tongue, the flavors immersed in each bite. In second place is the seafood paella! I never knew seafood could be cooked this tender. There The only one that disappointed me was the Lomo Saltado. Compared to the Osso Buco, this fell short…though delicious, it couldn’t compare to the other two. Regarding atmosphere, it was very neat and tidy, perfect for a date yet also casual enough for a quick family dinner. Service was great too!

A great variety of options on the menu. Special ceviche, homemade pastas, sandwiches, paella, and more. Flavorful and well cooked. We both ordered the tuscan chicken - flavorful and well cooked, generous portions. Blood orange martinis were balanced, not too sweet. I tried the lucuma ice cream, the flavor reminded me of walnut caramels. Looking forward to my next visit.

Mexican restaurant
Bar
Anejo Mexican Bistro is a lively and casual restaurant with locations in Hyannis and Falmouth. The Hyannis spot boasts an enchanting outdoor seating area under a 250-year-old BeechTree adorned with lanterns, creating a charming ambiance. The menu features authentic Mexican market food with a Cape Cod twist, including must-try dishes like Main Street corn. A visit to the Falmouth location offers an equally enjoyable experience on the patio overlooking the picturesque downtown area.
What a lovely spot! My first time visiting this restaurant and it did not disappoint. We opted to eat under the huge and shady beech tree, and I’m so glad we did. In spite of the day being hot, it was shady, breezy and quite magical to dine under this majestic tree! The food was great - not at all “Taco Bell” type Mexican. It was fresh and tasty and not at all greasy and heavy. I had a chicken quesadilla and others had the fish tacos - which looked really great. I also had a fruity and refreshing sangria. Overall a lovely experience and I will def be returning. There is plenty of parking in a free public lot directly across the street and only a short walk to Anejo. I recommend you try it!

We had a great experience! We went as a family and were very well taken care of. The food was well-seasoned, light, and authentically Mexican. Prices are reasonable, averaging between $20 to $30 per person per dish. The only downside was being seated near the restroom. It seems there’s only one, and the door opens directly into the dining area, which felt a bit inconvenient. The layout could definitely benefit from better architectural planning. Other than that, our server Rachel was wonderful and made the experience very pleasant.

We had a fantastic experience dining here and were really impressed with both the food and the service. The birria quesadilla was a standout, perfectly grilled with a rich, flavorful filling that was both cheesy and savory. It had just the right amount of spice, and the portion was generous. The chicken chimichanga was another highlight: crisp on the outside without being greasy, and packed with tender shredded chicken, sautéed peppers and onions, and well-seasoned rice. It had a comforting, homemade feel while still tasting restaurant-quality. The tostadas were fresh and crispy, providing a satisfying crunch in every bite. Each one was topped generously, and the freshness of the ingredients really stood out. We also tried the burritos and tacos, both of which were excellent. The burritos were well-stuffed and hearty, and the tacos offered a great balance of textures and bold flavors. To drink, we ordered the coconut strawberry margaritas, and they were refreshing and unique, sweet but not overpowering, with a tropical twist that paired nicely with the meal. What truly made the experience even better was our server. They were attentive, friendly, and made us feel very welcome. Excellent service really elevated the whole evening. We’ll definitely be back!

What a lovely dining experience!! Seems to be a truly popular spot, as folks kept coming especially for Taco Tuesday ( the day we went for lunch). The tacos were $3 each and were definitely delish!! Authentic Mexican food and cocktails. The service was very nice . Beautiful ambiance , except a little too much sun if you sit at the front table behind the host stand. Maybe a half shade would be helpful. I bet it's beautiful at moonlight, though. The chips and salsa were amazing, as well as the quesadillas , scallops, and lobster mac and cheese The menu looks teasing, and all we have was really delish!

Amazing Food! Flat bread was great! Clam chowder was so creamy. Server was GREAT! Hostess was super polite. We ate outside since it was quiet, and even though it was colder. Kyle S was our server, solid 5 stars!

We stopped in for tapas prior to a show at the Melody tent. We had made a reservation and were seated as soon as we arrived. It has a nice atmosphere and wasn't too loud so holding a conversation was easy. Our waiter was very prompt in taking our orders after explaining how the 1/2 price tapas were listed on the menu and ran to 6pm. We all ordered a few tapas and oysters along with beers. I personally felt my bottled beer wasn't chilled enough. It became luke warm rather quickly. Our food came out very quickly which is fine, however the table became very crowded with all the plates. Maybe the waiter could ask how quickly the diner would like the dishes to come out as it is so fast that one dish gets cold while you are eating the other. The dishes were all very good overall. On the pricey side even with the 1/2 price tapas.

The food was great. I ordered the oysters long stemmed artichokes, and Brie Stuffed Dates. The artichokes were phenomenal. My friend ordered a flatbread. The crust was thin and just right crispy. The Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Martini was great.

After having a crappy experience down the street at Torino we came here looking for a good time. They did NOT disappoint! Bouncers are very kind and personable. Music was great! Lots of throwbacks and bar staff was awesome. Food smelled amazing! Wish we got around to trying some. We will always recommend this place for a good time.

This place was fabulous!! The food and service were so wonderful!! David was tending the bar..... there is not a better bartender or dealer in Vegas who can compare to his "working" the bar. I swear.... there were at least 30 people sitting at the bar and he took care of EVERYONE!! All smiles!! This restaurant is definitely worth the visit!! Oh.... the drinks were awesome!!

Loved this place. Overall not traditional Spanish tapas. Some options that you would see on a traditional tapas menu but limited in that regard -- tons of other options that were small plates of more American dishes. Expansive and interesting choices. I thought the food was excellent and varied. As often the case, multiple small plates add up to big dollars, though.

Great food and experience, definitely on the higher end, but worth it, and fun! We shared the Seafood Paella for 2 ($49), and it was a medium amount of food for each of us. It was tasty and chock full of seafood. To really feel full, you have to get a little something extra. They could also just put more rice in it to bulk it up. We also shared the ceviche ($15), which is also a reasonable/medium portion. Sooo tasty, with tajin along the rim of the oversized glass it’s served in. Atmosphere and service were upscale. The rest of the menu looked great. Generally a very enjoyable experience. I would definitely return.
