Dallas Family Vacations

Dallas is the top-visited city in Texas, and with its array of family-friendly activities, it makes sense families are flocking to it. With attractions kids love, such as Six Flags, Hurricane Harbor, a zoo, an aquarium, rodeos and fairs, parents are also drawn to the city for its historic draw, pulled to the Sixth Floor Museum to take in a fateful November day when the nation lost a beloved president.

The city's entertainment also includes its top place as a sports destination, as home to the Dallas Cowboys, Dallas Mavericks, Dallas Stars, Texas Rangers and more. Its 68-acre Arts District includes a number of performing arts centers, museums and galleries. And is the largest contiguous urban arts district in the country. Babbling brooks, gardens, arbortoriums and more than 21,000 acres of parks that include 17 lakes and 61-plus miles of biking and jogging trails help visitors enjoy Dallas' year-round warmth.
