Permata yang Tak Boleh Dilewatkan di Fair Park/Dallas Selatan

Karena bepergian tidak memungkinkan bagi banyak orang, manfaatkan kesempatan ini untuk menjelajahi kota Anda sendiri. Anda mungkin akan terkejut betapa banyak hal yang dapat dilihat, dilakukan, dan disantap di Fair Park (dan saya tidak sedang membicarakan tentang State Fair!) Area Dallas ini menawarkan aktivitas unik yang tidak dapat Anda temukan di bagian lain dari Big D.

5 HAL YANG HARUS DILAKUKAN:

Texas Vietnam Veteran's Memorial - A portion of the State Fair grounds is designated as Veteran's Park, where this special memorial was dedicated in 1989 by then-President George H.W. Bush. Near the Automobile Building you'll find the names of 3,427 Texans who served and died in the Vietnam War. A small but powerful memorial, it's a wonderful place to pause and pay your respects to these brave Texans. Learn more about the memorial here.

Kebun Binatang Dallas - Di mana lagi Anda bisa melihat 2.000 hewan sekaligus? Sedikit lebih jauh ke selatan adalah hadiah untuk Dallas, yang memamerkan berbagai jenis burung yang indah, gajah, zebra, gorila, dan penguin, hanya untuk beberapa nama saja. Bawalah bekal piknik dan selada untuk memberi makan jerapah - jangan lupa untuk memesan reservasi secara online sebelum datang dan bawalah masker untuk mereka yang berusia di atas 10 tahun. Rencanakan kunjungan Anda di sini.

Old Mill Inn - Untuk tamasya yang tak terlupakan, jelajahi masa lalu di replika pabrik tepung bersejarah yang bersebelahan dengan Fair Park Music Hall. Dibangun pada tahun 1936, penginapan ini kini menyambut tamu dari seluruh penjuru untuk pesta dan acara pribadi, serta menjadi tuan rumah bagi kelompok untuk makan malam klasik Murder Mystery pada Sabtu malam. Dengan $60 per orang, Anda dapat menikmati makan malam dengan tiga menu (steak ayam goreng pemenang penghargaan, siapa saja?) plus malam penuh misteri di Old Mill. Beli tiket di sini.

South Dallas Cultural Center - The South Dallas Cultural Center is a vibrant hub for celebrating the African heritage and culture in Dallas through powerful art, live music, film, and community programs. From the popular Film Fridays series to the youth-focused Summer Arts at the Center, this cultural cornerstone offers immersive experiences that reflect Dallas’ can-do spirit. Whether you're catching a bold performance or exploring a new exhibit, the Center invites you to connect with the city's creative pulse. Follow the Center here.

African American Museum - Did you know this museum began as part of a historically black college (Bishop College)? Though the college is no longer there, the museum has been proud to operate independently since 1979. Displaying an impressive African American Folk Art collection plus period rooms and more, the museum hosts special programming and conferences regularly. Don't neglect a chance to educate yourself further on Black history by stopping in; check their Facebook page for updated business hours.

5 TEMPAT MAKAN:

Ronnie's Catfish - If you're looking for a non-fussy, yummy lunch, pop into Ronnie's on South 2nd Avenue for a box of fried catfish to share. A few other specialties are included on the menu, such as hot wings, burgers and shrimp, but the fish is the main event here. The classic meal comes with fries, pickles, peppers and Texas toast. Is your mouth watering yet?

Sunny South Barbeque - Walk up to this downhome BBQ joint for some tasty smoked meat and sides. Daily specials will cost you less than $10, or you can grab a loaded baked potato. No frills here, and there may be a line, but it's a South Dallas gem.

Ka-Tip Thai Street Food - For a taste of Thailand in Dallas, order the pad ka prow, chicken green curry or pad thai goong sod. All the dishes are family recipes straight from Bangkok, so you won't be disappointed. More information is here.

Noble Coyote Coffee Roasters - Stop at this micro roaster and coffee lab for a bag of freshly roasted coffee or a "lab drink" such as a cortado or the maple- and cinnamon-infused brew, the "Cozy Canadian." With curbside pick-up available, it's a no-brainer stop, plus they offer coffee-free steamers for kids. Learn more about the roaster here.

Craft and Growler - While you can't enjoy your craft beer inside, this "filling station" continues to fulfill pickup or curbside orders. Right across the street from Fair Park, you'll want to try one of their own brewed creations or get a growler full of another beer on tap. Many are local, such as Peticolas or Trinity Cider of Dallas. More information is here.
