Places To Go In Dallas
Texas does not like to be confined—much like you, wise wanderer. This is a place that likes to exist between the lines of what you expect and what you never dreamed Texas could be. To know it is to love it, but to understand it takes an in-person exploration. Once you’ve experienced Dallas, you’ll know what we mean. Slip on your best flannel shirt and spurs and get ready to know what this undefinable city is all about.
What to Do in Dallas
It’s desert country in these parts, so what’s one of the top things to do in Dallas? The Dallas World Aquarium, naturally. Crane your neck as finned beasts swim overhead in the glass chambers. Here you’ll see sharp teeth, soft bodies, and magical colors darting between the kelp. Jellyfish float to and fro, not minding any schedule but their own, and lulling you into the life of leisure. For something even more rhythmic, roam to the Dallas Symphony, which often finds itself on top Dallas attractions lists. Sit back and let the notes take you to a place of wonder, nostalgia, and yearning. If you still have those notes playing in your head back at our Dallas hotels, you’ll know you witnessed a show of pure magic. For something of a different speed, you can always take a horseback riding tour around the city. Know what it means to let go, and allow your heartbeat to meet the cadence of your horse’s shoes.
Dallas vacations are the best ways to get to know the part of Texas that refuses to be defined. Like yourself, the city is open to surprises and wants all of its contrasts to be appreciated and loved. You may just find a familiar spirit with the city after you experience what Dallas is all about.
