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
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.
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.
Excellent. Our guide was very knowledgeable on the subject. One hour was not enough time. Wish I would have done the 2 hour
Johnnie was punctual, entertaining, and informative. We thought that the entire experience was outstanding.
