Hi there :) Thank you for sharing this post. to know more about things to do in Dallas, click here http://bit.ly/atsportsfb.
ReplyDeleteThanks for such an interesting article here. I was searching for something like that for quite a long time and at last I have found it here.
ReplyDeleteWow, I am completely mesmerised by these pictures.
ReplyDeleteSouth Fork Ranch. Not park.
ReplyDeleteor go to Trinity River Kayak to go kayaking down the Trinity River!
ReplyDeleteToo bad you can't watch the Dallas Cowboys or the Texas Rangers in Dallas (like the list claims) both of those you have to go to Arlington for! Oh, and Boo at the Zoo is at the Fort Worth Zoo, not Dallas and Joe Pool Lake is in Grand Prairie. You seem to be a little loose in your definition of "Dallas" - like most people from Dallas. Would have been nice to see more unique items to do in Dallas (not Pump it Up, Dave & Busters, Chuck E Cheese). Some awesome stuff, but not all of it is unique to Dallas or even in Dallas!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the corrections (and suggestions) I updated the list. Was there anything specific you (or anyone else) thinks should be included please let me know. Thanks!
DeleteAlso, Reunion Arena was torn down about 10 years ago but going to the top of Reunion Tower to look around is cool
ReplyDeleteMost visitors I take to Half Price Books - the flagship store on NW Highway, It's a GREAT place to find all kinds of books and gifts! Also Sam Moon jewelry is a HUGE treat for most gals of all ages!
ReplyDeleteThe American Girl store at the Galleria should be on the list. Also, shopping in the Design District and having lunch at one of the numerous food trucks.
ReplyDeleteVisit Bishop art district in Oak Cliff
