Super cool! Every 1st Saturday they have a star watching party where you can drive over here and watch stars with the telescopes that they have. Its 5 dollar admission and cash only! Its super great to take children but just be careful because it is really dark so you will need to watch out! Make sure to bring some bug spray to spray on your legs and arms to avoid any bug bites too. Bringing a mat to sit on the floor and look at the stars is also another great idea!! read more

House of Blues - Music Venue

Stopped by the House of Blues for a concert and it didn't disappoint. Just as a heads up, there are…read moreseats on the second level. You'll want to double check if seating is reserved or open on the second level if you prefer to sit vs. stand. We stopped by to see Valley and they were so good live. When you arrive parking is pretty difficult and you'll either need to park in a nearby garage or on the street. The venue itself is vibrant, high energy, mixed with being in the heart of Dallas. We ended up sitting upstairs and I'm so glad we did as I didn't want to stand the entire concert. The beers are more on the expensive side so I'd recommend pregaming before the concert. This is a great venue to watch a concert from if you are in Dallas.

I did not try the food but the exclusive pass in the Foundation Room was not worth it because it…read moretook a long time for the food to come out and the bars were all understaffed. The service was really good though, everybody including the people that guided us to our seats. I also appreciate how quickly the line to get in the concert move along. Overall the ambiance is lovely and there's great art throughout the venue. I will warn you traffic is heavy for valet and parking is not optimal.
