Planning Your Dallas Visit

Mexican Food

Whether its real Dallas Tex Mex style—that’s a combo plate slathered in ranchero sauce—or traditional Mexican food, this city is home to some of the best in the country. Tacos are good for breakfast, lunch and dinner and there’s always room for guacamole while visiting Dallas.

Dallas Weather is Tricky

Don’t be fooled by its location on the map; a winter in Dallas can be cold and windy. And of course, for about four months of the year, it’s unbearably hot. Pack wisely; this ain’t Los Angeles.

What people are saying about Dallas

Very suspenseful, insightful and entertaining experience

I reluctantly chose this quest as a non-traditional Valentine's Day outing with my sweetheart of 2+ years. We're very compatible (She's a cancer - I'm a Capricorn), however, we have huge philosophical differences. Because we've been contemplating taking our relationship you the next level I thought the quest would be a good trust building exercise. And - wow - was right! We both are precise, exacting individuals. To successfully complete the challenge, we were forced to work as a team, to frequently relinquish our philosophical opinions, and to trust each other's judgement. Simultaneously, the experience was suspenseful, insightful and lots out fun. She loved it! So whether you're a visitor, a resident looking to get reacquainted with the Arts District (my actual primary purpose), or looking for a rewarding partner/group exercise, then check out theUrban Adventure Quest. Other than a minor registration issue, the proceeds was seamless. Call the tour guide with your questions.
