As the number one tourist destination in the Lone Star State, the DFW Metroplex has long established itself as a community of fun-seekers. A state-of-the-art ballpark in Arlington, multiple museums in walking distance of both downtown Dallas and Fort Worth, and performing arts venues for all art lovers are just a few reasons why leisurely visiting Dallas/Fort Worth may not be possible for the serious fun seekers. If you’re going to experience all that Dallas has to offer, it’s best not to do it in leisure-mode. Rather, get on your walking shoes and get busy! Dallas has more than 115 public art works and has the largest urban arts district in America. With nine museums, Dallas offers vast opportunities to soak in both ancient and contemporary artifacts from all over the world.
DFW is a mecca for shoppers, as it boasts more shopping centers per capita than any other U.S. city. Not only is Dallas home to the internationally recognized specialty store Neiman Marcus and retail giant JCPenney, but it is also the site of America's oldest shopping center, Highland Park Village.
