1. Dallas World Aquarium - one of my favorite places in Dallas! This is tropical rain forest right smack in the middle of downtown. There are an assortment of animals from monkeys to otters to penguins and an amazing collection of exotic aquatic animals.
2. Dallas Museum of Art - located in the Arts district, the DMA has a number of nice permanent collections, but also has cool exhibits that come through often. The DMA also hosts great events throughout the week including Thursday and Friday late nights with music, drinks and art.
3. Nasher Sculpture Garden - The Nasher Sculpture Garden is a neat little place nestled in downtown that features a serene outdoor sculpture garden against the background of the city's urban skyline. It's a beautiful place and the collection has some really beautiful pieces.
4. Dallas Arboretum - The Dallas Arboretum is one of our favorite places! The arboretum is huge and with many beautiful gardens. It holds many different events throughout the year, including concerts on their huge lawn by the lake. When we go, I feel like I'm in a Seurat painting!
5. JFK 6th Floor Museum - see how it all went down, the infamous day when JFK was gunned down. The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza chronicles the assassination and legacy of President John F. Kennedy. You can tour the 6th floor and the window that was believed to be the alleged sniper's perch.
6. American Airlines Center - Located just down the street from our venue, the American Airlines center is home to the Dallas Mavericks! It also hold many different events and concerts. Check out the website before our wedding to see what events are occurring around our wedding.
7. Shopping - If there is anything that Dallas has plenty of, it's shopping. I think the Dallas as more malls per square capita than in any city in the US! If are some shopping hot spots that may interest you while you are visiting Dallas.
8. Of course Dallas is also home to the Dallas Stars, Dallas Cowboys, and the Texas Rangers. If you're more of the betting type, you can go to the Horse Track or you are a speed demon you can visit the Texas Motor Speedway. Now if you want to do Texas, good ol' country western style, you can go to Texas Stockyards and Billy Bobs in Ft. Worth.
