Greener Pastures

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.

Sample the culinary artistry and diversity of the Big D at the annual Taste of Dallas event, which takes place every July at Fair Park. The festival offers regional cuisine and local wines to sample from sunup until after sundown.

What goes up, must come down. And when you go up at Zero Gravity, expect to come down out of the sky at top speeds. With five rides named The Texas Blastoff, Nothin' But Net and The Skyscraper, you know you're in for one wild ride at this attraction. This collection of gravity-defying rides has got your name on it.  Other death-defying thrill rides include The Skycoaster sending you soaring through the air at 60 mph then lingering at 100 feet and dropping right down as your stomach follows close behind. The Texas Blastoff resembles a giant slingshot with you in it and rocketing 150 feet up in the air at 70 mph then coming back down in a twisting, topsy-turvy free fall. Nothin' But Net gives you a chance to experience dropping from a 16-story tower, then freefalling into a safety net with (gulp!) no bungee, no cords and no harness. The Skyscraper is where you'll sit down and relax in a 165-foot propeller−until takeoff, at which point you'll get whipped around until you reach Four Gs.

The Keeton Park Golf Course is the perfect, 18-hole public course that allows anyone to experience championship play conditions, located just outside downtown Dallas.
