What to do and see in Dallas, Texas (TX): The Best Day Trips from

September 1, 2021 Carley Gatson

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.

We had a great experience with AAA Limo on a Friday night round-trip to the Stars game for a party of 8. The part I liked the most was transparency around the price - there was a single price quoted and that's what we paid. No fuel or toll surcharges or other fees that tend for limo costs to creep up. Our driver was Jack and he was awesome and super friendly. The car was in excellent shape, played our music well and it was fun to arrive and depart at the hockey game in style.
