Things To Do In Dallas, TX
Dallas is a city rich in culture, history, culinary pleasures, and unexpected discoveries. It is the home of the world-famous Dallas Cowboys, as well as excellent food and entertainment, as well as shopping that will keep you occupied for days. It's where Southern hospitality meets a Texas edge. Take a seat on the patio at Savor Gastropub in the center of the park. Music fans will be delighted by a night of concerts at the Wyly Theatre or Winspear Opera House, or melodic music at the Meyerson Symphony Center, at the AT&T Performing Arts Center.
Things to Do: Begin your Dallas adventure at the Texas Horse Park. The park is only around 13 kilometers from downtown, but you'd never guess it from the tranquil riding trails. For sports fans, go west to AT&T Stadium, the home of the Dallas Cowboys professional football club. Visit The Sixth Floor Museum in Dealey Plaza for a historic experience that includes a history of John F. Kennedy's life and presidency. You may also visit the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum, go inside the president's decision-making process in the interactive Decision Points Theater, and pose behind the president's desk in a full-sized reproduction of the Oval Office. Visit the Reunion Tower GeO-Deck for a new perspective on Dallas. The 170-meter-high viewing deck features an outdoor walkway. Science buffs should pay a visit to the Perot Museum of Nature and Science, which houses one of the most amazing jewel collections in the United States as well as a recently found dinosaur species that can only be seen in Dallas.
Shopping: A shopping trip to Dallas is not complete without one. Visit Wild Bill's Western Store in the historic West End for souvenirs. Visit NorthPark Center for an upmarket shopping experience at one of the country's most known shopping malls, and take advantage of the tax-free shopping offered to foreign visitors.
Food: Dallas has something for everyone. Trinity Groves, a hip foodie destination just west of downtown, serves everything from barbecue, sushi, and Spanish tapas to Southern comfort cuisine and burgers. Deep Ellum provides great Texas barbecue snacks, while Tex-Mex favorites like Meso Maya serve margaritas in every flavor imaginable - salty or sweet, frozen or on the rocks; two may be in order if you can't decide.
