Dallas trip

[nlrwildcat1]

Never been to Dallas but I am going next month. I have four kids under 7 I am taking with us any advice on family things to do there?

Naturally there is Six Flags in Arlington but they will also like Dallas World Aquarium. Don't go on a Saturday though as it is packed. I would recommend going as soon as the doors open before the heat of the day sets in http://www.dwazoo.com/

Go to Ft Worth Zoo. It is better than Dallas Zoo

Frontiers of Flight is supposed to be good for kids and is highly recommended

klyde warren park, cool park they built over the highway - catered to kids.  has been a huge hit for families.  also the new perot museum of nature and science.  right next to klyde warren and has also been a big success with the kiddos.  you will have to call and get tickets early though as they sell out almost every weekend (for the museum, the park is free). 

arboretum at white rock lake would be fun for them as well. 

fort worth zoo is better than the dallas zoo but the dallas zoo has gotten a lot better and the fort worth zoo is quite a hike. 

dallas aquarium is great as well (also right next to the perot museum and klyde warren park). 

if i think of anymore i'll add them

not a problem.  how long will you be in Dallas?  trying to think of other things to do for ya.  And I've never been to Galveston before.  Done Port Aransas and I think it's close to the same feel.  Just a good ol Texas beach town.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions about Dallas or need help with anything.  Enjoy the trip

Have you ever been outside of Arkansas?

[nlrwildcat1]

Don't really travel muc I have been to Albuquerque a few times since my best friend lives there. Only other time I was on military bases for training.

Having four kids eats up most of the money for vacations lol.

Dallas Zoo, and the Galliea Mall.

Galleria sucks now.  Northpark is the one to go to.  They have a nice courtyard in the middle for the kids to run around in and their Nike store is amazing.  Every store in Northpark is pretty awesome actually.

My kids love this place!

The family and I are headed to the Big D sometime this summer.  Nice thread going here.  I was planning on taking the kids to AT&T Stadium.  I'm also pretty excited that I'll finally get to eat at a In N Out Burger!
