Listeners looking for a dynamic adventure in Dallas this week are in for a treat, with the city serving up a mix of classic attractions, live events, and unique local gems.
Start your Dallas journey with unmatched panoramic views atop the Reunion Tower’s GeO-Deck. From 470 feet up, the skyline dazzles day or night, and according to Tripadvisor, this iconic spot also hosts interactive exhibits, making it a must-see for first-time visitors. History buffs can hop onto a guided JFK assassination walking tour downtown—recent guests praised the knowledgeable narration and immersive storytelling that brings Dallas’ complex past to life.
If exploration is your style, Dallas’ Hop On Hop Off trolley tours loop through historic districts, art-filled neighborhoods, and the famous West End. Self-guided walking tours are also available for those who want to wander at their own pace, soaking up architectural marvels and vibrant murals.
Sports fans can catch the Five Tool Texas UT Dallas Summer Bash, a high-energy youth baseball tournament taking place July 11-13 featuring 30 teams from around the region, as well as the local Dallas Tigers. Check out schedules online and experience the competitive spirit at Ford Sports Village and area fields. Looking ahead this month, the Texas Black Invitational Rodeo returns July 26 to the Fair Park Coliseum, blending thrilling rodeo action with deep cultural roots and energetic performances.
Art lovers can stroll the Dallas Arts District, home to world-class venues like the Dallas Museum of Art, Nasher Sculpture Center, Crow Museum of Asian Art, and the Perot Museum of Nature and Science. The Perot’s Bug Lab exhibit, running all summer, offers an interactive, family-friendly dive into the wondrous world of insects. For live performance fans, the Winspear Opera House, Wyly Theatre, and Meyerson Symphony Center anchor a calendar full of dance, theater, symphony, and ballet throughout the week.
On the food front, Dallas’ legendary barbecue and Tex-Mex are just the beginning. Elm Street Cask & Kitchen is highlighted by locals as a hidden culinary gem, famous for creative cocktails and comfort food in a speakeasy atmosphere. For listeners craving sun with their supper, Dallas is packed with rooftop bars and restaurants where you can dine with sweeping urban views. According to VisitDallas, the city’s patios and al fresco spots are perfect for catching a summer sunset.
Outdoor adventurers can decompress in the city’s leafy escape spaces. Head to Klyde Warren Park—built atop a freeway—for live music, food trucks, and open-air yoga, or trek the Katy Trail, a scenic urban path perfect for walking, jogging, or renting a bike. Dallas’ botanical gardens and lakeside parks offer shaded picnic spots ideal for beating the Texas heat, while splash pads and pool clubs cater to families and solo travelers alike.
For a quirky twist, seek out the fun indoor experiences cropping up this summer: from immersive escape rooms to interactive museums, bowling lounges, and retro arcades, Dallas is loaded with ways to stay entertained when the weather gets steamy.
