The Science Place is located in the fair park area of Dallas. I highly recommend taking your children to The Science Place for a great day out full of learning and fun. There are lots of hands on experiences for your children to enjoy and great IMAX films to watch.

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!

If you haven't been here, I strongly recommend that you visit it. I love going to this museum because the sculptures are amazing. They have all different works of art...some in color and others in black and white. They have a lot of abstract art and also just regular sculptures. They also have a bottom floor and their "backyard" is full of huge works of art. Great place to spend a day and enjoy art.

This museum is incredible, as it details the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Because the event was not perfectly clear, the museum also discusses every plausible theory on who fired the shot. Visitors will also learn about Lee Harvey Oswald who is the prime suspect, and also of his death by Jack Ruby. You can also learn about JFK's presidential term and his dealings with the Soviet Union. A perfect trip for anyone who loves history.

WEPC is one of the best stores in Dallas! They are super customer service oriented and always have ample staff working that are more than eager to greet you with a smile and answer any questions. I love that they carry a good selection of BPA free and stainless water bottles, and they have even accepted returns from me after months of using a water bottle when it broke, didn't ask for a receipt or anything, I exchanged it for another brand and no questions asked! They are wonderful! The shoe dept is great, and I love my Earth shoes I purchased earlier this summer. The kids toys and books are cool as well, there is really something for everyone. Do yourself a favor and check this place out, shop locally and support and awesome store!

This museum does a good job of retelling every detail of the events of the Holocaust during WWII. Visitors will learn about every-of-war camp during this time. With every visit, people are likely to see a guest speaker, who is a survivor of the Holocaust, telling their experiences in the camps. The center pays a great homage to the tragic period. Those interested in history, or even those who aren't, are suggested to visit.

The Biblical Arts center is a very interesting place to go. They have a wide variety of items and an amazing painting that is on display in a theatre type setting. There is a soundtrack that goes with it like a little show that is very neat. They have a gift shop and plenty of parking. It's located near North Park Mall in Dallas. I also think that they rent the place out for wedding receptions and parties. Admission is less than $10.

A fun and relaxing place to visit. Espcially nice at Christmas time. Lots to see and just a nice place to visit with the family. Relive the ole times in this park with housing, dress and the village type setting. A one of a kind entertainment spot and something for all ages to be found here. Schools take advantage of this park for school trips also.

This amazing museum in the Arts District of Dallas is a phenomenal place to visit. It's small but host to a million little treasures from South and East Asia. Best of all, admission is FREE! The first gallery you typically enter features a temp exhibit, usuall by modern Asian artists; for example they have featured in the past Japanese quilts and works of art made by blind Chinese artisans. Once you go up the elevator, you find yourself in the Chinese gallery, which features things like ornately decorated snuff bottles, tapesties of Manchu rulers, elegant objects of carved jade, large vessels, and much more. Don't forget to check out the objects on the mezzanine.
once you proceed down the adjacent hallway, you'll pass a display case featuring a Mughal-era stand for the holy Q'uran, a knife, and some other objects from Muslim India. In the next gallery, you find the facade of an Indian fort, as well as a multitude of reliefs of Hindu gods. Behind the fort are golden objects from Nepal and South-East Asia. There is a mini-room adjacent where you find ornate wooden carvings.
The museum also hosts regular events (festivals and the like) as well as craft sessions (like mehndi classes) that costs a small amount of money (but the festivals are free).
Last time I went, they were renovating, I think to include a bigger gift shop. All in all, this is a fabulous place to visit. It's small, but inviting and clean, and there aren't security guards breathing down your neck at every turn. 100% wonderful!
