Planning Your 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

Overall rating

4.6 / 5

based on 107 reviews

Good to arrive several minutes early as this is a popular venue. Our grands (2-8) really enjoyed it. Watch out for the"bubble" viewing areas where the kids crawl under the support to enter/exit. Even though they seem to be well padded our youngest got a pretty good cut to his scalp while exiting. Since it is dark in most areas we failed to see the cut until we were out of the venue. We didn't return to inform the operator.

SEA LIFE Grapevine Aquarium General Admission Reviewed by Anonymous, 3/20/2021

Helpful?

I really enjoy the tour. But my boys and I were very upset because they did not get a chance to go on the field and throw the football as advertised. This was why we really booked the tour. I do understand that there was a dirt rodeo going on, but a heads up would have been nice before we booked.

3-Hour Small-Group Dallas Cowboys Stadium Tour Reviewed by Stephanie, 3/23/2021

Helpful?

Matt did a phenomenal tour for us. Very informative and it was neat to watch them preparing the stadium floor for the rodeo. Would highly recommend the tour even if you aren’t a cowboys fan, the stadium is interesting to see.

Orlando was a great guide. We learned lots about the main people involved in those days’ events. We saw more than just the shooting area. Lots of interesting history. And Orlando was very professional and nice.

2-Hour JFK Assassination Without Museum Reviewed by Anonymous, 4/13/2021

Helpful?

Awesome tour. Had to be modified due to covid, but none the less, Orlando did a wonderful job of re-creating the era. Played 60s music in the van played clips, & videos.
