You may have all heard that everything is bigger in Texas. Well, Dallas does its best to fulfill that promise. You'll find several museums with vast art collections and fascinating specialty museums like The Sixth Floor Museum/Texas School Book Depository, which, though small in size, offers an immense amount of information about the assassination of John F. Kennedy. And of course, visit a local steakhouse for a terrific (and enormous) meal.

Reunion Tower, an iconic Dallas landmark, offers panoramic 360-degree views of the Dallas skyline. Located next to the Hyatt Regency Dallas, the Reunion Tower GeO-Deck offers an indoor/outdoor observation deck and unique entertaining spaces. Visit with family, friends, a group or your sweetheart to create unforgettable memories at 470 feet in the air! * Restaurants are currently closed for renovations.
Bought a City Pass which saves you money on all the places of interest. No queues on the day we visited, handbags checked on entry. Can take as long as you like viewing the sites, and sitting in the geo-deck, where you can buy refreshments, the floor moves around very gently/slowly so you can see full circle view as you relax. Need to wait to be taken up/down in the lift. Busy times will mean lots of queuing/waiting no doubt.

Trendy neighborhood featuring galleries, shops, antique stores and restaurants.
This was our favorite neighborhood that we visited during our stay in Dallas. It was also the busiest as well but could have been due to the real nice day in the 70s. Similar to Deep Ellum the stores and restaurants had a lot of character but a more urban appeal to us. We ate BBQ at Lockhart Smokehouse and drooled over the pies slices at Emporium. We listened to guitar players outside of Parker Barrows and the competing one down the same block outside Whitehall Exchange. The was even a band playing inside Revelers Hall (not real sure how they fit along with guests) but the place was jamming. Clothing, outdoor gear and even a vintage record store, Vintage Records, were great places to stop by and shop. Need a haircut then checkout the garage setting at Brass Tacks Barbershop and get your hair cut next to Harleys. Further down Bishop Road was a new and modern building along with a large parking lot. The lot was nice since it was tough finding street parking (free on Sundays).
