Another famous landmark in Dallas is Fair Park. Home of the State Fair of Texas held every fall, Fair Park has something for everyone. The State Fair takes place from September 24 through October 17 and houses everything from a 212-foot Ferris wheel to livestock and horse show performances, games, food and shows. If you are looking for a little fun during your visit, the State Fair of Texas is an annual event you won't want to miss. The fun doesn't stop at the State Fair grounds, however.
Thrills abound at Six Flags Over Texas.
This entertainment capital in Texas is another attraction filled with activities for the entire family. The park, which is open on weekends during the fall, offers more than 200 acres of rides, shows and attractions featuring amusements for all ages. Taking in some of the cultural aspects of Dallas is another option for entertainment during one's stay. Although the State Fair of Texas is only open for three weeks in the fall, Fair Park is open year-round for the cultural attractions that are located there. The Age of Steam Museum, American Museum of the Miniature Arts, Dallas Aquarium, Dallas Horticultural Center, Dallas Museum of Natural History and the Hall of State are just a few of the permanent sites Fair Park has to offer.
