Sporting Events
Dallas Mavericks
Catching a Dallas Mavericks game is an easy winter win. Check out a game for a night of electric energy downtown. The American Airlines Center is right near Victory Park dining and sports bars, so if you don't snag tickets, you can always head to Chop Sports, Frankie's Downtown, or The End of the Trail to watch the game with fellow fans.
Dallas Stars
Of course, winter is the perfect time for hockey! The Stars’ home schedule lines up perfectly with the season and gives you the chance to experience NHL hockey without braving the elements. If you're looking for an evening full of fast-paced action, snag tickets to a Dallas Stars game and get ready to celly.
Dallas Cowboys
If your winter visit lines up with football season, you can check the Dallas Cowboys schedule or join a watch party around town to soak up the game-day energy. Even outside of game days, a tour of AT&T Stadium in nearby Arlington gives fans a behind-the-scenes look at one of the NFL’s most recognizable venues.
Ice Skating
Glide into the season at the Galleria Dallas ice rink, where you can skate no matter the weather! The rink is beautifully decorated for Christmas, but it stays open year-round and is a fun stop for classic winter activities during your trip to Dallas. You can grab a hot chocolate afterward or explore the mall’s shops and dining to make an afternoon of the outing.
For outdoor skating during the holiday season, you can check out the CultureMap City Rink at Main Street Garden. It's open November 26, 2025 - January 5, 2026, so if you're looking for outdoor skating, be sure to book a reservation before it closes for the season.
Outdoor Recreation
Parks & Lakes
Winter is perfect for brisk walks, jogging, or cycling around White Rock Lake, where the cooler temperatures make outdoor exercise more comfortable. Klyde Warren Park is ideal for a mid-winter stroll, plus it has food trucks and outdoor seating for coffee or lunch breaks on warmer winter days. For a nature escape, explore the trails at Cedar Ridge Preserve, just a short drive from the city, where quiet woods and open prairie make winter hikes especially peaceful.
Winter Adventures
Dallas offers plenty of fresh-air activities even when temperatures dip. You can bike or walk along the Trinity River Audubon Center trails, or explore Turtle Creek Park for a shorter hike right in the heart of the city. Birdwatchers and nature lovers will enjoy spotting winter wildlife across the city’s parks and preserves.
Indoor Activities
Not ready to brave the cold? No problem! There are plenty of indoor activities to enjoy, too.
Musei

Stanze di fuga
For a fun and interactive indoor adventure, try one of Dallas’ escape rooms. These challenges are a great way to bond with friends or family or test your relationship with a competitive date night, all while staying out of the winter chill.
