Things To Do
Perot Museum of Nature and Science
Located in Victory Park, the Perot Museum of Nature and Science is the latest and biggest addition to the expansive 68-acre Arts District in Dallas. Designed by architect Thomas Mayne, the striking cube-shaped structure encompasses 180,000 square feet of exhibition space on six floors. Aimed at students, the displays are highly interactive, inviting onlookers to issue commands to robots, touch dinosaur teeth replicas or design their own bird. Adults will find the 11 permanent exhibit halls just as engaging. The museum also boasts a state-of-the-art 3D theater, a café and a museum shop. The popular museum is least crowded in the morning.
Reunion Tower
An iconic Dallas landmark, the 50-story-high Reunion Tower is topped with a spherical dome that slowly rotates to give visitors a panoramic view of the city below. Visitors looking for a challenge can climb the 837 steps or for an easier route, take an elevator to the indoor/outdoor GeO-Deck. Once at the top, you can view the city through high-definition zoom cameras and high-power telescopes and enjoy lunch at the Cloud Nine café. The sphere is also home to the acclaimed restaurant and lounge Five-Sixty by Wolfgang Puck, which is best known for its Asian fusion cuisine. The dome takes a full hour to make a complete rotation, offering visitors plenty of time to enjoy the spectacular views.
The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens
With more than 66 acres of themed gardens, the Dallas Arboretum offers visitors a welcome respite from the hot Texas sun. Stretched along the southern back of White Rock Lake only 15 minutes away from the Downtown District, the grounds are visited by more than 900,000 people each year. Of the 19 named gardens, standouts include the Jonsson Color garden, which boasts more than 2,400 varieties of azaleas, and the tiered fountains and reflecting pools in A Woman’s Garden. The Arboretum has an outdoor concert stage, a café and picnic areas as well. Bring along those snacks you picked up from the Farmers Market to have a picnic and make it an enjoyable afternoon
Farmers Market
Located at the corner of Pearl and Cadiz streets, the Dallas Farmer’s Market has been in continuous operation since the early 1900s when farmers came to town to sell their goods, produce and animals from the back of their wagons. In 1941, the Big D claimed it as its own, and several mammoth sheds were built to showcase the region’s produce, baked goods, meats and cheeses. Open seven days a week from 7 a.m. too 6 p.m., the 12-acre space also features a nighttime market that’s open from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. from May to November. If you’re sticking to a budget or just tried of eating at restaurants while on your vacation, stop by the market and pick up some local produce, bread and some cheese and make yourself a fresh lunch or snack on the go.
