The Best Places To See in Dallas

I think everyone knows what a gem this place is. I go here several times a year as it offer many events throughout the different seasons including spring flowers, an amazing fall pumpkin village, and the 12 days of christmas display of course. There is also a summer concert series, and unique food events throughout the year, on top of the standard food opportunities that already exist including an afternoon tea! And the general atmosphere, setup and variety and amazing, all surrounding the beautiful white rock lake. Overall, a great place to visit no matter what time of the year and what season. And if you do some research ahead of time, you can find several unique opportunities.

This museum was wonderfully done and one of the most memorable parts of my trip to Dallas. As someone born in the 80's, I had seen many videos of the assassination but never really felt the emotional impact. Before coming to the museum I walked around the plaza and grassy knoll to get some perspective on the spot. The pavement was marked with white X's at the time, to show where each shot took place. I arrived around 3pm on a Saturday and had not purchased my ticket online, but the line went very quickly. Once inside you'll take an elevator to the 6th floor and wind your way around a very large room. The boxes where the shooter sat are still here and surrounded by glass.

First coming to the Dallas Zoo and we loved it! Our in laws got us a passport membership which allowed us to park for free, bring an extra guest and unlimited ride to the carousel! We came on a Sunday which surprisingly wasn't crowded even with the pleasant 80 degree weather. My two year old enjoyed seeing the flamingos, monkeys and the tiger! He also loved the carousel and train ride in the dinosaur exhibit. We spent about an hour and half here and we barely got around to seeing everything. We didn't mind not seeing everything today because we will def be back soon!
