Return to the Civil War era by visiting Old City Park, where you can experience what life was like for ordinary Texans over 100 years ago. Visit the fully restored, Antebellum-style Millermore Mansion and the finest collection of 19th-century pioneer and Victorian homes and commercial buildings in Texas. These buildings were moved from North Central Texas to provide a recreational space where visitors can connect with the past, inspire the future, and celebrate Dallas' rich diversity. The Park is used to educate and celebrate the history, support local artists, provide recreational activities, and serve as a venue for events for adults and families year-round.

Dallas Arboretum & Botanical Gardens has 66 acres of lush plants and flowers, and you'll feel like you've entered a different world. And the best part? You'll have a stunning view of downtown White Rock Lake and the Dallas skyline. Dallas Arboretum is considered one of the best in the nation and has over a dozen different gardens and thousands of species of plants, and visitors can enjoy the parks year-round. Be sure to check out the azalea collection with its 2,400 varieties and the ferns, holly, and color garden. And don't miss the Women's Garden, a recent addition featuring small garden rooms and a reflecting pool overlooking White Rock Lake.

If you're interested in exploring religious art from different denominations, visiting the Museum of Biblical Art is necessary. The museum strongly emphasizes art history and showcases decorative art from Israel and the Holy Land, providing a unique and educational experience. Additionally, the museum collaborates with Jesuit Preparatory School on an educational initiative that combines gardening with art appreciation and history, allowing students to connect their real-life experiences to their faith and understanding of the Mass, personal devotions, and the Fourteen Stations of the Cross. With eleven galleries, The National Center for Jewish Art, the Museum of Holocaust Art, the European Art Treasury, an on-site Art Conservation Lab, Via Dolorosa Sculpture Garden, and other significant pilgrimage attractions, the museum offers a wide range of programs, field trips, and events for art enthusiasts of all ages, backgrounds, and beliefs.
