Dallas visit

[grego160]

I will be attending a conference for work i Dallas from June 27-30. My husband and I are also using part of the time ( June 26 and June 30 - July 2) for vacation.
The conference is at the Adams Mark Hotel on Olive and my company has arranged for our room there.

Any suggestions on what to do while we are in town? Some of our interests are : shopping (me anyway) , cultural events and museums , historic , anything native to the town we are visiting , dining - best of dallas would be great!

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Be sure to take in the Dallas World Aquarium in Downtown Dallas and the museum where Kennedy was shot. For shopping you need to hit the Galleria on 635 and the tollway. There is also 6 flags over Texas and the Arboretum and Ft. Worth has a wonderful zoo and the stockyards (gateway to the west) Enjoy

I agree with those - esp the Aquarium! And you have to get a pic on the mechnical bull @ Billy Bobs in the StockYards!

Im also a fan on Grapevine Mills Outlet Mall - its on Bass Pro Dr in Grapevine... and its not to far from the Gaylord which I love to visit. IMHO its a pretty cool hotel to visit and there is usually always something going on.

Went to all those places on my visit, loved it. Along with the musuem about Kennedy. There are people on the streets that tell the story & show you the different points for a tip. It was worth it. Along with having lunch up in the space needle or what ever they call it. What a view.
Hope you enjoy your trip. I also enjoyed the horse races.

You have to go to the Dallas world Aquarium it is absolutely my favorite place in Dallas. I also love the botanical gardens in Fort Worth and the Dallas Museum of Art-its a must see! And for the night life you might try Billy Bobs, lol
