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.

I highly recommend visiting The Women's Museum in Dallas. Here great women throughout U.S history are celebrated and honored. There is nothing like this in the Dallas area. It is a unique experience. There is also a great museum store which I enjoy visiting when at the museum where you can buy souvenirs and gifts.

The museum has a lot of interesting artifacts, relating not only to the JFK assassination, but also the assassinations of MLK, RFK, and Lincoln. There's also an interesting documentary to watch. At ten dollars, however, this museum...which is basically one room, is fairly pricey. The man who runs the museum is really interesting to talk to, and has a lot of interesting theories.

If the outdoors go-carts are too loud or slow for you, give this place a try. They've got battery powered supercharged carts in an indoor track. For the speed freaks, they can go up to 40 MPH but careful on the turns, they're killer. Great place to enjoy a thrilling weekend! Have fun!

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.

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.

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!

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.

Fair Park, the home of the State Fair of Texas, is truely large. I visit Fair Park whenever I attend the State Fair. One thing you must do is buy a Funnel Cake or a giant turkey leg. Or you could buy both, why not, have fun. In addition to the State Fair, Fair Park is also home to various auto shows. Being a gearhead, this makes me very happy. Fair Park is also home to the Cotton Bowl, home of the Red River shootout. As you can see, Fair Park hosts a lot of different venues and events. There is always something to do here, just make sure you find a good parking spot, and remember where you parked :)
