This was free when I visited and was a whole lot of fun to walk through.  It is one place to see when walking around downtown Big D.  I would combine it with other things. More

Do not miss this sight. It is very convenient (parking lot) and does not take a lot of time (15 minutes) and is free so you have no excuse! :) If you enjoy art, animals and the wild west you will love this. It was one of my favorite sights in Dallas. More

If you are near the convention center this is really worth the effort to see. Incredible statues and representation of "cowboy" life. More
