Walk around the 7.5 acres of lush tropical greenery and native plants at Texas Discovery Gardens. You will want to attend the Butterfly House, where you can see hundreds of free-flying butterflies worldwide. The Gardens is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating children and adults on how to sustain the natural world. They aim to provide a safe and natural oasis for the Dallas community and hope every visitor leaves with the knowledge and desire to emulate the sustainable practices at home.
If you're a fan of natural wonders from around the world, then the Dallas World Aquarium is the place for you to visit if you want to experience them all in one place. Once inside, you'll embark on a world tour of the Earth's oceans and its unique bodies of water through exhibits and attractions. Encounter the bird's-eye view of the Secrets of the River Rainforest Exhibit, filled with birds, mammals, amphibians, and reptiles all living in harmony. Then check out the special South Africa exhibit that will transport you to the exotic land of Madagascar, where the permanent exhibits include fish, jellyfish, and coral from around the world, and visitors can even walk through a tunnel that runs through one of the large tanks, where you'll see sharks and manta rays swimming about.
Barcadia Dallas is a fantastic spot where you can enjoy a blast from the past with classic arcade murals and vintage games. They've even added modern touches like play cards to improve your experience. It's the perfect place to challenge your partner, friends, and family to a game of life-size Jenga on the patio. And if that's not your thing, they also have skee ball machines, a pool table, air hockey, HD sports, and the famous Guitar Hero. Who needs fancy bars with dress codes and expensive drinks when you can have all this fun? It's a playful venue for bar bites, an extensive beer menu, and games galore.
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.
