Things To Do
Katy Trail Ice House
Situated along a popular running trail in Dallas, Katy Trail Ice House offers great BBQ, Texas-size beers, and a great outdoor sitting area to catch up with friends. *dog friendly*
Deep Ellum
Located just east of Downtown, Deep Ellum is Dallas' eclectic/artsy neighborhood. Walk down the streets to see wall murals, shops, restaurants, and bars.
Mi Cocina
Alison grew up on Mi Cocina and has made John fall in love with it as well. Make sure to get your Tex-Mex fix while in town!
Rise n°1 Souffle Restaurant
A french bistro specializing in soufflés, this place is a Dallas icon. Make sure you order the Marshmallow Soup to start, save room for dessert, and keep your eyes peeled as former President George Bush has been spotted eating here!
The Rustic
If you know who Pat Green is (country music artist from Texas), you will want to go here! He owns the bar/restaurant and brings in country music artists to perform on his outdoor stage at night. It's a very laid-back atmosphere and has a lot of great photo ops. *dog friendly*
The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens
The arboretum is a series of gardens and fountains with a view of White Rock Lake and the downtown Dallas skyline.
Perot Museum of Nature and Science
The Perot Museum of Nature and Science is one of Dallas' unique experiences. The museum offers many different exhibits throughout the year. The permanent ones include Sports, Being Human, and Gems and Minerals. We recommend booking your tickets online to ensure no waiting in lines.
