Long time residents rarely come close to exhausting the staggering
number of things to do in the Dallas – Fort Worth area.
You can watch, listen, taste, shop, sell, sport, relax, laugh,
study, observe, play or be serious if necessary in any possible
permutation. The Park Cities Limousine Events Coordinator
can custom tailor an itinerary that will meet your needs or
put the one you have in mind into immediate effect. Collectively,
our drivers have been everywhere and done everything (but
we are surprised by something new once in a while). Here are
some favorites that our clients consistently enjoy.
The Kennedy Legacy – If you have one
extra day to spend in Dallas, the Sixth Floor Museum of the
old Texas School Book Depository is almost compulsory if you
plan on telling friends of your visit. Exhibits detail Kennedy’s
life and his fateful day in Dallas in 1963. Down the street
is the Conspiracy
Museum that has collected every conceivable, alternative
explanation to the event.
The
Dallas Zoo is world famous for many reasons.
Three miles south of downtown visitors can use a slow moving
monorail to observe six African habitats on 95 acres. Founded
in 1888 the zoo is also one of the country’s most sophisticated
animal research facilities
The
Nasher Sculpture Center in downtown Dallas opened
in 2003 and houses works by Picasso, Matisse, Degas, Giacometti,
Henry Moore and many others. It has served as a restatement
of DFW’s commitment to the arts and is a logical starting
point for a museum tour.
The
Dallas Museum of Art, down the street from the
Nasher, plays host every year to impressive traveling exhibits
and has in its permanent collection many works by the Impressionists,
pre-Columbian and Egyptian art, African, Asian, Indonesian
and Contemporary art as well as large collections of photographs
The
Kimbell in Fort Worth is the most important museum
in Texas. It attracts the most significant exhibits and is
endowed with masterpieces by Rembrandt, Picasso, Monet and
Matisse. It also exhibits large collections of Egyptian, pre-Columbian
and African pieces. Considered my many to be a work of art
itself, the Kimbell stands close to the Amon
Carter Museum and the Museum
of Modern Art.
Reunion Tower gives a panoramic view of
all the city and surrounding countryside. From fifty stories
you can take in sights from the revolving lounge in the Antares
Restaurant.
Southfork
Ranch attracts a large pilgrimage of visitors
though the television show that made it famous went off the
air twenty years ago. The ranch house serves as a museum,
event and conference center and is a marketing vehicle for
all things that are considered Texan.
Six
Flags Over Texas has all that a classic amusement
park can offer. Located midway between Dallas and Fort Worth,
the park’s 205 acres has more than 100 rides and attractions
and seven roller coasters. The 10,000 seat Music Mill Amphitheater
showcases top performers in season.
Billy Bob’s
Texas Honky Tonk will give you a dose of the
two-steppin’ made famous in John Travolta’s Urban
Cowboy. And there’s the mechanical bull you can
ride but better do it before you’ve had your steak dinner.
The
State Fair of Texas in the fall of every year
brings together Texans for a celebration of their state. It
is part carnival and part cultural but above all everyone
has fun.
