Dallas Spring Break mit Teenagern

Für Teenager sind die Frühlingsferien eine der schönsten Wochen des Jahres. Es ist die perfekte Gelegenheit, sich zu entspannen, neue Energie zu tanken und ein oder zwei neue Abenteuer zu erleben. Für Eltern kann es jedoch stressig sein, wenn sie sich nicht überlegen können, was sie eine ganze Woche lang jeden Tag unternehmen sollen. Zum Glück haben wir den perfekten Plan, um euch von Montag bis Freitag in Dallas durch den Spring Break zu bringen.

It’s time for animal adventure that’s equal parts weird and cuddly. The Dallas World Aquarium
is filled with exotic marine life from the farthest corners of the seven seas. But fish aren’t the only amazing animals waiting to be discovered. Manatees, giant anteaters, three-toed sloths, colorful tree frogs and mischievous tamarins are sure to give you a reason to be excited about what’s around the next corner.

You can’t trust everything you see, and that’s certainly the case at the Museum of Illusions. This epic collection of mind-boggling exhibits is designed to trick your sense of reality. Perfect for Instagram-worthy pic, the museum lets you and your teens start down a never-ending abyss, lose your sense of up and down and see the real you in a rainbow of colors.

Relish authentic Texan cuisine at the Y.O. Ranch Steakhouse. Settle into the inviting and rustic space, where your taste buds will be treated to a king’s feast of southwestern dishes. Explore a wide range of menu items including Nashville hot fried oysters, Buffalo filet mignon, and shrimp and grits.

Beginnen wir den Dienstag doch gleich mit einer guten altmodischen Schnitzeljagd. Der Arts District Heist fordert Sie und Ihre Kinder heraus, Skulpturen, Wandmalereien und historische Stätten zu erkunden und dabei einen berüchtigten Dieb zu verfolgen! Auf diese Weise lernen Sie mehr über die Stadt und sehen atemberaubende Architektur, während Sie lustige Rätsel lösen.

Das Dallas Museum of Art beherbergt Kunst aus allen Jahrhunderten der Menschheitsgeschichte. Von antiken mesoamerikanischen Skulpturen, die unsere Ursprünge erforschen, bis hin zu moderner Kunst, die Ihr Gehirn kitzelt, bietet das DMA einen Einblick in die Seele der Menschheit aus allen Epochen und Ecken der Welt.

Außerhalb des Museums finden Sie in der Food Truck Lane im Klyde Warren Park zahlreiche Möglichkeiten zum Mittagessen. Bei dem vielfältigen Angebot finden selbst die wählerischsten Teenager etwas, das ihnen schmeckt.

For your music lover, The Spin Coffee and Vinyl is a hybrid establishment that combines a coffee shop with a record store. How cool is that! And we know vinyl is cool again. Bonus points for their cereal bar. After, make sure to check out the Titanic Exhibit in Dallas: An Immersive Experience, with amazing recreations of the ship and storytelling of the history.

Tone it down a notch and go a little old-school with ice skating at the Galleria. Skate as long as you like, and show your kids what being cool really means.

Wrap up the day with burgers from Hopdoddy Burger Bar. While you can certainly get a great burger or chicken sandwich at Hopdoddy, the best part is you can trick your teens into eating “healthy” with the Hot Honey Sage Brussels or Buffalo Brussels. It’s a win-win for you and them.

If staring eye-to-eye with a three-story eyeball is on your bucket list, you can see one right here in the heart of Downtown Dallas. The eye is enclosed in the Joule Hotel’s lush garden (and closed to the public) but you can’t miss it when you’re walking by. The ultra-realistic fiberglass eyeball complete with streaky red veins is an exact replica of its creator, Tony Tasset’s eye. The funky art installation seems like it should be a roadside attraction and not on the grounds of one of Dallas’ swankiest hotels, but who are we to judge. After all, art is in the eye of the beholder.

Witness one of the most magnificent views in all of Texas. At 470 feet tall, Reunion Tower is one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. But the view from inside the ball is even better! If you think the breathtaking 360-degree views of Downtown Dallas and the surrounding neighborhoods are impressive, wait until you watch the sunset.

For dinner, grab a bite at Café Herrera, an upscale Mexican restaurant that’s vibrant and authentic. Serving traditional dishes alongside contemporary favorites, Café Herrera is family owned and a great way to end the day.

We saved the best for last. Rainbow Vomit. Those two simple words will have your teenagers ready to go in about 2.3 seconds. Rainbow Vomit is a 2600-square-foot immersive art experience that transports you into a fantasy of flight. Combining 10000 LEDs, 2000 Balloons, 300 pounds of cotton, 4 miles of ribbon, and a life-sized unicorn, Rainbow Vomit is something you must see to believe.

Take your tastebuds on a journey around the world with delicious culinary options at the Dallas Farmers Market. Italian. Indian. Vietnamese. Thai. They even have shawarma and sushi! It’s everything you’ve always wanted to try but have never had the chance.

And finally, wrap up your week with a Broadway musical live at Music Hall at Fair Park. For over 80 years Broadway Dallas has delivered the hottest, most award-winning, edge-of-your seat exciting shows to our diverse, multi-generational audiences.
