Useful Tips

Dallas has a range of other attractions to visit too. If you have an extra day, check out the Dallas Museum of Art, the Winspear Opera House, and the Perot Museum of Nature and Science. If you've only got one day, we recommend you choose the Sixth Floor Museum and Dealey Plaza. Before visiting a restaurant, make sure to book in advance, as tables can be fully reserved. After a busy day, make sure to take a relaxing swim or drink at the rooftop pool in the Adolphus Hotel. Have fun in Dallas!
