Fun things to do in Dallas area?

Question

I'm planning a long weekend to the Dallas area. We would be visiting over Christmas break (so I know it will be cold) and we would go to Six Flags in Arlington on Sat. December 20th. However, what would be fun to do around the area for maybe the next couple of days after that? My kids ages are 8 and 15. I have been searching the net, but thought it might be better to get ideas from people who actually live around the area.

Answer 1

Six Flags has their "Holiday in the Park" during this time.    My family goes every year.

There are a zillion restaurants. Find one that sounds interesting to you and go there. You might try Medieval Times in Dallas or Rainforest Cafe in the Grapevine Mills Mall.

Ice skating at Arlington Parks Mall or the Galleria.

Bass Pro Shop in Grapevine. That's a fun place to wander around and look.

Ft Worth Stockyards - the human maze is hilarious! And cheap. This is definitely something different. They also have a train ride you can take.

Dallas Fair Park - lots of museums, something for everyone, and affordable prices.

Go to the top of Reunion Tower for a great view of the city.  It is currently undergoing renovations, so I'm not sure when it will open back up.

And, of course, there is LOTS of shopping!

Answer 2

Well there is the ripley's believe it or not museum of wax that y'all can go to...  

Answer 3

Check out the Christmas lights in Highland Park. People go all out!
