Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza
Are you a history buff? If so, go check out the museum that chronicles the assassination of President John. F. Kennedy Jr. The museum, which is located on the sixth and seventh floors of the Texas Book Depository building, is where Lee Harvey Oswald allegedly shot the president in 1963.

Public ArtWalk Dallas
Weather permitting, the ArtWalk is a fantastic, free activity. The self-guided, 3.3-mile tour highlights 30 pieces of art and architecture in the Arts District of Dallas.

Fun for the whole family, the Dallas Museum of Nature and Science is currently hosting an exhibit called “Dinosaurs Unearthed,” featuring lifelike animatronic dinosaurs!

NFL Experience
Open since January 27th, the NFL Experience is possibly the biggest family event surrounding the Super Bowl. At the Dallas Convention Center, your family can partake in games, displays, football clinics, autograph sessions and more!
