Dallas makes entertaining the whole family easy with climate-controlled indoor activities, highly accessible attractions, expansive outdoor gardens, and dining options that will please all ages.
Svjetski akvarij u Dallasu
Plan a visit to the Dallas World Aquarium to see marine life, birds, and other animals. Kids and adults alike will be captivated by the rainforest exhibit, where birds fly overhead and flamingos, sloths, and monkeys can be seen. Then, pass through the tunnel to watch sharks swim overhead. Because the aquarium is wheelchair accessible and has nursing stations, grandparents and parents with infants will be comfortable.
Muzej prirode i znanosti Perot
Everyone in the family will be engaged and entertained by the interactive exhibits and activities at the Perot Museum. Kids age 5 and under will love digging for dinosaurs and creating their own art at the Moody Family Children's Museum. If anyone needs a break from the action, the museum also has a movie theater that shows science films throughout the day. All public entrances and all levels of the Perot Museum are accessible by either elevator or walkways. Admission is valid all day, so if kids need a nap you can always return later.
Toranj Reuniona

McKinney Avenue Trolley
Explore Dallas by riding the M-Line! Hop on and off the free trolley to visit the different parks and museums in the city or simply ride the trolley and enjoy the scenery.

Where to Stay
Traveling with three generations means everyone needs their own space, but nobody wants to be a floor away when the grandkids wake up early or someone wants to unwind while the rest of the group is still up.
The hotels below are the perfect solution, with connecting rooms or multi-room suites, so you can stay together without being on top of each other. No separate check-ins or hallway meetups required.
