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.

Raise a bottle of grog, wipe your matted beard on your sleeve and toast your knight at the Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament. This attraction will make you feel like royalty with its banquet-style theater in the round, and you can tour the grounds where period-costumed actors create a Medieval village experience.

Hike or bike on one of the best recreation trails in the area in Boulder Park. Mountain bikers swear by the long uphill stretches and birders rave about the beauty and diversity of species that can be found there.

At the crossroads of the southwest and American History, the city of Dallas has earned the status of requiring a museum to tell its extensive history. The Old Red Museum does just that, chronicling the history and culture of the Big D with fascinating historical artifacts, exhibits, touch-screen displays and four mini-theaters. Exhibits include the Early Years Gallery, the Trading Center Gallery, the Big "D" Gallery and the World Crossroads Gallery. The Old Red Museum of Dallas County History & Culture is located in the 1892 Old Red Courthouse, now fully restored to its original glory. Cultural, economic, political and social history is on display. The courthouse also stands at the crossroads of historical events in the city. It is next to the JFK Memorial and Dealey Plaza, across the street from a replica of Dallas founder John Neely Bryan's cabin and a block from the historic West End of Dallas.
