Per gli adolescenti le vacanze di primavera sono una delle settimane più belle dell'anno. È l'occasione perfetta per rilassarsi, ricaricarsi e vivere una o due nuove avventure. Per i genitori, invece, può essere stressante, perché si cerca di trovare idee su cosa fare ogni giorno per un'intera settimana. Per fortuna, abbiamo il piano perfetto per farvi passare dal lunedì al venerdì di queste vacanze di primavera a Dallas.

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.

Iniziamo bene il martedì con una caccia al tesoro vecchio stile. L'Arts District Heist sfida voi e i vostri figli a esplorare sculture, murales e siti storici mentre siete sulle tracce di un famigerato ladro! È un ottimo modo per conoscere meglio la città e vedere un'architettura mozzafiato mentre risolvete divertenti rompicapi ed enigmi.

Il Dallas Museum of Art ospita opere d'arte che attraversano secoli di storia dell'umanità. Dalle antiche sculture mesoamericane che esplorano le nostre origini all'arte moderna che stuzzica il cervello, il DMA offre una finestra sull'anima dell'umanità di ogni epoca e angolo del mondo.

Fuori dal museo, troverete molte opzioni per il pranzo al Food Truck Lane di Klyde Warren Park. Con diverse opzioni, anche gli adolescenti più esigenti troveranno qualcosa di loro gradimento.

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.
