13
items If I only had a weekend in Dallas, these are the things I’d 100% do again. No bars in this list. Just good food and fun activities that were actually worth the time/money :-) 🫶🏻

My bestie and I absolutely lost our minds over this place. You do all of the ordering from your phone, so just scan the QR code on the table and order the spring rolls IMMEDIATELY. IMMEDIATELY. (trust me)
The vegetarian options were AMAZING. The Gen...
Bushi Bushi Dim Sum Place
The DMA is one of those places where you blink and suddenly an hour’s gone. It’s calm, it’s inspiring, it’s FREE!!! Perfect for a girls trip reset, a date, or a solo wander. 🖼️
Dallas Museum of Art
I genuinely adored this place. The menu leans into rich, Southern-inspired comfort food, but done w/ plant-based technique: crispy textures, layered spices, and deep, savory notes.
My carnivore wasn’t as impressed :-(
But I haven’t eaten meat in 5+ ...
Vegan Food House
The Myx Bar was SUCH a vibe. You literally get to mix your own lip gloss or lipstick shade, pick your scent, and they even offer a list of fun extras (like lip plumper for an extra $5). It was around $100 for both, so definitely a “treat yourself, no...
Myx Blend Bar Dallas
Even if you’ve never touched clay in your life, the instructors are super patient and helpful! They literally walk you through every single step. The weekend we went it was “make your own mug,” but they switch it up all the time. I believe the next w...
Trade Oak Cliff Pottery and Art Classes
Starship Bagel was really good. I got a bagel with cucumbers and cream cheese and it was super fresh, exactly what I was craving!! The coffee was whatever, but that is likely just me not knowing how to order coffee like an adult. The staff was SUPER...
Starship Bagel
Cidercade is one of those places where you walk in and immediately know you’re staying longer than you planned. You pay one flat fee at the door and then it’s just… endless games. SO. MANY. PINBALL. MACHINES.
Every nostalgic arcade game you forgot y...
Cidercade Dallas
Every corner of this aquarium has something worth stopping for. The sloth was totally unexpected! 🦥
Adult Tickets were $31.95 plus tax! I felt like it was well worth the money, without feeling like it was dragging on
The Dallas World Aquarium
“The poetry of the earth is never dead.”
- John Keats 🍃
💚 This is the perfect place to walk around, take photos, or just sit and chill for a minute. Definitely one of the nicer outdoor things to do in the city!!
The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden
The Sixth Floor Museum is inside the old Texas School Book Depository, the building connected to JFK’s assassination. Even if you don’t go inside, the outside area at Dealey Plaza feels strangely still. You can see the exact corner where the motorcad...
The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza
Carb Lovers STAND UP. This one’s for us! There’s so many different toppings! I personally loved the frenchtoast biscuit, but I hear the loaded tots are a local fav as well!
Extra points for yummy mimosas!!!! 😋
The Biscuit Bar
I have so many amazing memories here with my grandparents. A warm day + yummy appetizers + misting fans… This is THE place for a laidback afternoon!
Topgolf Dallas
If you’re ever near the area around Halloween, make time for Pumpkin Nights. It’s a glowing, pumpkin-filled walk-through that’s surprisingly magical and 10000% worth it. HOWEVER… the trail is all loose dirt, so do NOT wear your brand new white Chucks...
