Dallas Outdoor Fun

Quick! This is it, this is our chance to get outside. What are some things to do in Dallas outdoors? We’re so glad you asked.

Have an adventure!
Get into nature at Lakeside Park or White Rock Lake, or get into a roller coaster at Six Flags. Just depends on whether you wanna move slow or really, really fast.

Take pictures!
Don’t you think it’s time for a photoshoot? Pose among the Blue Bonnets. Find a mural in Deep Ellum. Flex in front of the Fair Park mammoth. They call it an Instagram feed ‘cause it’s hungry! Go out there and fill it up.

Go Al Fresco
Eat at one of Dallas’ outdoor restaurants. There’s way too many to list, but in our family we like Chicken Scratch at the Foundry, Rodeo Goat, and Hat Creek. (It helps when there’s a playground). We might even stop by Katy Trail Icehouse after a hike, if only for some chips and queso. There are many other Dallas outdoor bars and restaurants worth exploring, so get moving.
