Now that summer is quickly approaching, most of us find ourselves asking about things we can do to make this summer a memorable one. To help assist in answering that, here are 10 things you should do this summer if you find yourself in the DFW area.
1. Get Outside.
Klyde Warren Park, for example, is a great place to do that. There is a little bit of everything to spark the interest of just about everyone. From cool places to curl up with a book to outdoor games like checkers, chess, ping pong, putting greens and petanque, there are so many ways to enjoy the outdoors alone or with a group of friends. There is also an amazing dog park and running trail if you are feeling on the athletic side. There is also a great deal of food around, anything from food trucks to five star restaurants with an amazing view. You won't be disappointed. There are also always a ton of events going on, anything from yoga in the park to dance classes to slam poetry events to weekly movie nights.
The address is 2012 Woodall Rodgers Freeway, Dallas, TX, and the park is open from 6 a.m.-11 p.m. every day.
2. Cool Off
White Rock Lake is an awesome place to do that. White Rock Lake is a 1,015-acre city lake located approximately five miles northeast of downtown Dallas. It features a 9.33-mile hike and bike trail, rental facilities, Dallas Arboretum, dog parks, picnic areas, piers to fish off of, boat ramps, and kayak concessions. This is an awesome place to cool off and get away from the everyday hustle and bustle of Dallas.
The address is 1500 Marilla St, Dallas, TX, and the park is open 24/7.
3. Get High Over The City
Expand your horizons from the breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views at the Reunion Tower. You can buy a ticket and experience the geo-deck, which is 470 feet up, or have dinner in the five-star restaurant that is over 50 stories up in the iconic glowing ball. The food is to die for, but keep in mind that it is on the pricey side and almost always requires you to book at least a week in advance.
The address is 300 Reunion Blvd East, Dallas, TX, and you can book your experience at http://www.reuniontower.com/.
4. Get A Little Sporty
Dallas is home to multiple different sports teams as I am sure you are aware. Go and show your support or at least just go to experience a game if you are not really into sports. Dallas is also near Texas Motor Speedway, if you enjoy watching people go in circles for hours. I truthfully am not a big sports person but love going to games just to people watch.
5. Do Something You've Never Done Before
Make this summer a memorable one by doing something you've never done before. Go to those art museums you've been wanting to see, check out those historic monuments and/or check something like bungee jumping off your bucket list at Zero Gravity. There is so much to do in this city, so experience it like a tourist.
