Die laughing at a production by the Comedy Killers, Dallas' own professional murder-mystery troupe. The actors can be hired to perform at parties, corporate events and the like. Or you can watch a show at the Dallas Hub Theater, where the production was voted Best Place for a First Date. Either way, it's comedy to die for.

Explore the Wilds of Africa, learn about the Giants of the Savanna and regale in the elephants, tigers and bears of the ZooNorth, all at the Dallas Zoo. The 100-acre facility is home to 406 species and 1,800 animals.

Cheer on the championship-caliber athletes and the cowboys who ride them at the Mesquite ProRodeo, every Friday and Saturday night during the summer months. You'll see plenty of bucking bulls, barrel racing and more.
