This place is amazing. An absolute must to see. Kids and adults will enjoy. You can take the dart train and get very close. It is located close to downtown Dallas close to West End and is a most popular place. The atmosphere is really great. Lots to see so plan to have several hours to spend. You won't want to leave.

I went to the Dallas Arboretum over the weekend with a group of ladies, and have to say, this place is gorgeous!
It was the perfect day to walk through all these gardens and water areas - very soothing! There were lots of folks talking photos of their kids or wedding photos. The breeze was blowing - it was SO nice! There are lots of beautiful flowers in bloom and lush grasses swaying in the breeze - and LOTS of trees!
I would encourage you to visit the Dallas Arboretum, take a picnic lunch and take your shoes off and run your toes through the grass.

When I was recently on a business trip to Dallas, I extended my stay to go to this museum and I am sure glad that I did. The cost was $10 per person and I think it was a great deal.
The museum is located in the 6th floor of the “Book Depository” building in downtown Dallas. This is the building where they believe that the fatal shots originated. The building is no longer used as a book depository, but the area around the window where the shots were fired and the area where the police later discovered the rifle have been restored to how they looked at the time.
The museum had a huge collection of photographs and artifacts from the Kennedy family as well as many from the hours before and after the shooting.
The museum is laid out in chronological order – starting with the Kennedy family, then how JFK became president, then through his presidency, then many details on the assassination and its aftermath. They do highlight the conspiracy theories, the Warren Commission, and other investigations that have taken place.
They present the stories with a combination of text, photos, artifacts, and videos. As someone who was not yet born at the time of his assassination, it was very interesting for me to see the affect of this event on the United States and even the world. It was also very interesting to see how different things were back then.
We went to the museum on a Saturday afternoon and the place was packed! I would highly recommend trying to fit this in on a weekday if you do plan to go. Check out their hours though as they are not open in the evenings and you want to give yourself enough time to get through the large exhibit.
There is a store at the end of the museum – I found a great book there that has a lot of the same information as the exhibit – but it is not nearly as dramatic as seeing it in person.
There is also a lot of great information about the museum and their exhibit at their website jfk.org http://www.jfk.org/
If you are ever in the Dallas area – I highly recommend you check out this museum!

A great city zoo. Lots of walking within but lots to see. Well kepted and nice and clean. Take the dart train right to the zoo. A lot of people prefer the Ft. Worth zoo I think but not sure that I do. We have had many family type trips to the Dallas zoo and have really enjoyed it each time. Took our children there years ago and now take the grandchildren and still have fun there.

This place has changed names quite a few times within the past few years, but the venue will always remain the same. It's an amitheater that's distinct for the huge lawn in that back where people can picnic out while listening to live music. The place doesn't look that big from the outside, but it's huge and it's a great place to enjoy a concert.

This is something I have always enjoyed going out and doing with my friends. Shoe rentals and games are pretty cheap, and if you play fast, buying the lane by the hour is a pretty good deal. You don't have to bring anything, the bowling balls are provided, just bring yourself and have fun bowling those strikes. In addition, most facilities have an arcade and a billiards room. The only thing I do not enjoy is leaving the bolwing alley smelling like smoke. If I wanted to smell like smoke, I would of gone to a bar. Oh well.

Who doesn't love the State Fair of Texas? Fun for the whole family- the kids can go nuts on the midway, while the adults can be entertained by the shows (last year's Trained House Cats were quite impressive) and exhibits. And, of course, everyone loves the food... all deep fried and all good.
I am mourning the fact that there will be no petting zoo this year :( but I'm sure that all the new fried wonders will more than make up for it.

A nice aquarium but I really prefer Dallas World Aquarium since it came to Dallas. I'm sure it is still visited a lot but the location is not all that good. Since Dallas World Aquarium came to the area I think this aquarium has not been as popular with some people. There are others things to do and see where this is located though so if you are wanting to do several things in one day it might serve you well to go here.

Medieval Times is a great place to entertain a special guest or take the family. Its the only place you can feel comfortable eating with your hands. The staff are outstanding and the show amazing. The horsemanship and jousting is entertaining along with the crowd interaction.The price is a bit expensive but well worth every penny.
