Southwest® flights from Baltimore/Washington to Dallas (Love Field) from $149

Reunion Tower and downtown Dallas say hello! Visitors to Dallas are sure to spot The Ball, as locals know it, straight away. Take a ride up to the observation level GeO-Deck to explore interactive exhibits indoors and peek through the telescopes outdoors. Have a meal at the café, or head up to the rotating top level for fine dining provided by a celebrity chef’s empire. The observation deck includes an exhibit about the fateful events of November 22, 1963; Dealey Plaza is just 1,000 feet away.

There are dozens of engaging museums and landmarks to see dotted around Dallas. Consider starting downtown in the Arts District—the largest arts district in the U.S.—and visit the Dallas Museum of Art, the Nasher Sculpture Center, the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center, and the Trammell & Margaret Crow Collection of Asian Art. Take plenty of breaks between locations for snapping pictures and taking in the local flavor. Speaking of flavor, make sure to try some Texas barbeque or Tex-Mex while you’re in town!
