Activities and Things To Do
In town for Thanksgiving? Here are a couple of classic Dallas activities that you can do with your family (or on your own!) that'll give you a taste of the town and help you kick off the holiday season.
Explore Dallas on a Tour
Dallas Super Tours
If your family is looking to explore the city's highlights, take them on an exciting 14-stop trolley tour of Dallas. Showcase iconic places like Klyde Warren Park and Deep Ellum during a leisurely 80-minute drive or create a jam-packed journey for your family by choosing the Hop-On Hop-Off tour. This ticket allows you to leave and rejoin the bus tour at any time for two consecutive days.
Dallas Bites & Sights Tours
Let Dallas Bites & Sights be your family’s gateway to unforgettable experiences! Check out their signature Texas BBQ Tour, where you’ll visit top Dallas-area barbecue spots, cruise around in climate-controlled transport, and dig into classic Texas smoked meats. Or you can snag a spot on their Dallas Sightseeing Tour, which takes you through downtown landmarks, cultural gems, and hidden corners of the city. With expert guides, comfortable pickups anywhere in the metro, and tours crafted to appeal to families, foodies, and culture-seekers, it’s a fun way to spend part of your holiday week together.
Dallas Party Bike
If you and your crew are looking for the perfect pre-Thanksgiving night out in Dallas, the Dallas Party Bike is your go-to for a high-energy bar-crawl on wheels. Imagine rolling through hangouts in Deep Ellum and downtown in a 15-person pedal-powered party bike, blasting your playlist, sipping your favorite drinks (yes, BYOB!), and stopping at 2-3 of the city’s coolest bars for a 2-hour adventure. Whether it’s a friends’ reunion, a casual night before Thanksgiving or just a fun way to kick off the holiday week.
