Outdoor Activities
Close to home and always a nice, free activity to do with the kiddos! Plus they host a jubilee each year complete with carnival rides, vendors and food!
Ben Gill Park
Call me biased, but fall is the BEST time to visit the arboretum and makes for some amazing photo ops! If you’re a pumpkin loving fall girl like me, don’t miss out!
The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden
For only $3 per person you can swim all day! They also offer season passes for families if you plan on needing or wanting a regular summer activity. They also have specified hours for seniors and exercises. Excellent deal and fairly decent!
City of Terrell Municipal Swimming Pool
Restaurants
Not exactly local to Terrell but close enough and the steak? To die for. It’s nice for date night with your significant other and will leave you craving more for the next night out!
Four Winds Steakhouse
Local, homemade and filling. I love these old spots that support local business owners and keep the money in the town. Not to mention, it makes for a great breakfast at a reasonable price. Fill your belly and be satisfied all day long!
THE TERRELL CAFE - Updated June 2026
The most amazing restaurant for foodie enthusiasts. Gorgeous interior, exterior and the food? Superb. Highly recommend for a girls day, date night or simply because you just want to. Don’t miss out on this gem!
RH Rooftop Restaurant at RH Dallas

Not only do they offer coffee and energy drinks that will keep you alert all day long but I’ve been able to book them for private events! They also have an infamous coffee bucket that is worth every single penny! Check out a signature latte or cool d...
The Sip Society
Went for my birthday one year and it was fun! We dressed up, wore hats and felt like royalty for the day. It wasn’t terribly overpriced but the selection was limited. That was to be expected in a small town. Overall a great experience though and I wo...
Especially For You
Tucked away in a dismal shopping center but SO good. We tried the Dubai strawberry cup, chocolate covered apple, Dubai chocolate bar and a peanut butter cup. Definitely pricey but so worth it if you have a sweet tooth! Would definitely go again!
Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory
The cutest and most fun coffee house I think I’ve ever been to! Drink coffee, enjoy pastries AND pet the goats! Not to mention they have a full skincare line made entirely from goats milk. There is a $20 annual fee but it’s worth it and the food and ...
Goat Farm Coffee House
Drinks, good food and the night life. If you’re looking for fun and adventure, Deep Elum is the place for you. With something to offer everyone, it’s a perfect choice.

Perot Museum of Nature and Science
Our favorite for summer, fall and winter! We indulge in the monthly season passes and are able to take in summer days, Fright Fest and Holiday in the Park. Highly recommend taking advantage of their fast passes and meal plans for even more savings an...
Six Flags Over Texas
We signup for the “Kids Bowl Free” summers and partake regularly for a low cost activity that everyone enjoys. In today’s economy, I’m all about budget and Film Alley marks off all the boxes for us!
Film Alley Terrell
Date night? Check. Family outing? Check. Reunion tower checks all the boxes and gives stunning views of the Dallas Skyline day or night. Highly recommend for your DFW trip!
Reunion Tower

I was gifted a gift card and indulged in a two hour revitalization package. Dry brushing, massage, body wrap and scalp treatment. It was just what my body needed and gave me a pep in my step that I thought I’d never get back. They carry several retai...
