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.

Empecemos bien el martes con una búsqueda del tesoro a la antigua usanza. The Arts District Heist le reta a usted y a sus hijos a explorar esculturas, murales y lugares históricos mientras siguen la pista de un famoso ladrón. Es una forma estupenda de aprender más sobre la ciudad y contemplar una arquitectura impresionante mientras se resuelven rompecabezas y acertijos.

El Museo de Arte de Dallas alberga obras de arte que abarcan siglos de la historia de la humanidad. Desde antiguas esculturas mesoamericanas que exploran nuestros orígenes hasta arte moderno que te hace cosquillas en el cerebro, el DMA ofrece una ventana al alma de la humanidad desde todos los periodos y rincones del planeta.

Fuera del museo, encontrarás un montón de opciones para comer en Food Truck Lane, en Klyde Warren Park. Con sus variadas opciones, hasta los adolescentes más quisquillosos encontrarán algo que les guste.

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.
