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.

Inwood Tavern is Dallas's oldest continuously operating bar, which means it has been in business for an impressive 58 years. This place is a fundamental neighborhood institution, and it's easy to see why. With good times, good friends, cold drinks, and a fantastic patio, you'll feel right at home here. It's a great spot to unwind after work or catch up with friends on the weekends. But don't let the casual atmosphere fool you. The revived former dive has plenty of entertainment options, like a pool table, sports on TV, and occasional DJ and band nights. And if you're looking for a private event space in Dallas, Inwood Tavern has you covered. They have multiple areas for your guests to gather, including a side room with a stage and a pool table, and a full bar outside on the covered patio, complete with heaters, fans, and misters.
