City Tour - Dallas, Texas

Dallas prides itself on Texas-sized attractions and the Perot Museum of Nature and Science is no exception. Consisting of five and a half levels of science fun, The Perot Museum offers a full day of discovery. See dinosaur bones and rare gems, a 4K digital theater and 11 permanent halls filled with state-of-the-art exhibits that touch on subjects ranging from dinosaurs to DNA.

Of course, history buffs won’t want to miss the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza. Located on the sixth and seventh floors of the former Texas School Book Depository warehouse, the museum uses films, photographs and other artifacts to chronicle the life, death and legacy of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated from this spot in Dallas in 1963.

For more presidential history, head over to the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum. Get an in-depth, interactive peek inside the presidency of George W. Bush. Explore presidential documents and artifacts, including gifts from foreign heads of state and a full-scale replica of the White House Oval Office. Each piece tells the story of the USA’s 43rd president.

If history isn’t your thing, Dallas still has you covered. Head over to the Dallas Zoo and immerse yourself in the wonderful world of animals. Hand-feed a giraffe and go on an urban safari at Giants of the Savanna, where you can witness elephants, giraffes and other African animals interact in a natural setting. As a home for more than 2,000 animals and over 400 species, the Dallas Zoo will bring you up close to the animal kingdom.
