Things To Do
Fort Worth Stockyards
Visit where the real cowboys live... Ft. Worth, Texas! About 30 miles west of Irving (Las Colinas). Spend the day roaming the old stockyards, see long-horn steer, and then enjoy a refreshment in an old saloon! (This is one of Patrick's favorite local spots)
Kimbell Art Museum
This small art museum is the crown jewel of Ft. Worth. A small collection but a wide variety of art. Checkout the website for special exhibits on tour. Great cafe for lunch too.
Dallas Art Museum (DMA)
This is the major art museum located in downtown Dallas. It's about a 25 minute drive from Las Colinas and well worth it. The art collections are endless! Check out the adjoining (outdoor/indoor) Nasher Sculpture Art Museum and the Trammel & Margaret Crow Collection of Asian Art Museum as well! While in that area, you may want to visit the shops & restaurants on McKinney Avenue and Clyde Warren Park.
Reunion Tower
Get an amazing birds-eye view of downtown Dallas in the (slowly) revolving Reunion Tower. (Admission fees apply)
The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza
Visit the site of President John F. Kennedy's memorial and special history exhibits that chronicles that fateful day on November 22, 1963.
Perot Museum of Nature and Science
This fantastic museum of natural history has it all...from dinosaurs to a full collection of sparkling gems & rocks. It also has interactive exhibits for the kids as well.
