What travelers are saying
- HeatheryBroken Arrow, OK61 contributionsLovely set of gardens, and price point is not too bad. I really enjoyed their holiday displays. They were so vivid and detailed.Written March 19, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- TravelingSoccerLoonSaint Paul, MN8,539 contributionsWell organized and poignant museum celebrating the life of JFK and telling the story of the tragic events that occurred on November 22, 1963. It is located on the 6th floor of the former Texas Book Depository from where assassin Lee Harvey Oswald was perched and fired the shots killing President Kennedy. That area of the museum is left as it looked in 1963 and is behind a glass partition. It was pretty eerie standing so close to the site where the gunman stood and knowing the impact this had in changing history. I thought the museum did a good job handling the controversy regarding whether Oswald was the lone gunman or whether there was a second shot from the grassy knoll. An entire section of the museum is dedicated to this, and it leaves the question unanswered allowing everyone to make up their own mind based on the facts known. Make sure you prebook tickets in advance from their website. Parking is right next door in the Elm Street lot and costs $10. You should also include time to wander around Dealy Plaza and the Grassy Knoll. There is an audio tour that is available from the museum that describes this area.Written March 7, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- c22hubbTerre Haute, IN498 contributionsThe path you go on once you are in here is great. However, it is very misleading calling this an aquarium. It has some fish but it is not what you imagine when something says “aquarium”. There are a variety of animals inside. You go on one path through so it is easy not to miss anything. Good to do to fill in time but not a must see.Written March 17, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Thomas VOakland, CA19,489 contributionsI guess it is the tallest building in the downtown area, modern and it stands out. And one can travel to the top to enjoy the views. An important skyscraper for the city and the skyline.Written February 6, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Khalaf KSharjah, United Arab Emirates323 contributionsThe Museum of Nature & Science in Texas is wonderful museum combined the Nature and science with story telling of our planet.
The exhibits in the museum are carefully selected to reflect the museum theme. It’s good for family with kids at all ages with a learning environment for all. You can spend easy 4-5 hours without getting board if you are a history and museum lovers. The 3D show not much that interest compared to the misuse itself. Kids and adults both can learn and enjoy.

- TDebraDallas, TX6 contributionsThe Dallas Museum of Art stands out as one of our favorite destination in Texas. As an art-loving couple, we truly relish the time we spend here.

- Thomas VOakland, CA19,489 contributionsThis is a lovely park in the center of town and lots of people come here on good weather days. We were lucky to have a couple of those on our visit so we enjoyed this space if only for 30 minutes. Very pretty.Written February 7, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- c22hubbTerre Haute, IN498 contributionsWe have been to a lot of zoos and I would sit. This one is slightly better than average. However, it was still a really nice zoo to go to. We went in the afternoon and the animals had all just been fed, which made them very active. This is the most active I’ve ever seen hippos so that was really cool. They have a fast variety of different animals and we were able to feed a giraffe so that was cool. There are not any other zoo experiences that they offer which is a bummer cause sometimes we’ll do those.Written January 13, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas VOakland, CA19,489 contributionsFor very sad reasons this is a national historic area. This is where President Kennedy was shot and Dallas will never forget. Interesting that an assassination spot is such an important tourist site, but there you are as a tourist in Dallas. This is it for your tour!Written February 7, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- BangkokSachseBangkok, Thailand53,290 contributionsWe go to NorthPark Mall every year when we visit our sons near Dallas. The Northpark center is beautiful and classic. We bought an iPhone at Apple store at Northpark two years ago. We shopped at Dillard’s and Macy’s for cosmetics with free gifts this summer.Written August 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
