The Dallas/ Fort Worth metroplex has experienced uncharacteristically cloudy, cold weather this year making everyone feel a little claustrophobic. The first official day of Spring was just a couple of days ago and unfortunately this weekend will be in the low to mid 50s. North Texas just can't seem to shake off the cold hands of winter.
So what do you do when you want to experience spring when it's unseasonably cold? Dallas has many indoor and outdoor attractions to lift your spirits!
The newly opened Perot Museum of Nature and Science welcomes hundreds of children (and the children at heart) who wish to explore the wonders of nature and science and broaden their minds in one convenient location. One piece of advice: purchase a ticket online before you go. This place is in high demand and even the general exhibit hall can only contain a few hundred visitors at one time. Thousands of visitors have already roamed its spacious rooms and theater, and you don't want to get stuck waiting outside.
Another classic go-to Dallas preferred outdoor activity: The Dallas Arboretum. Dallas Blooms, the garden's seasonal floral showcase opened March 2 and will delight admirers until April 7th. The botanical gardens recently updated a rain policy which will allow visitors to receive a rain check if the "rain will not go away." So, this weekend could be an opportune time to test the waters. Despite the chill in the air, locals can enjoy nestling together on a blanket, picnic style, while gazing at the colorful floral festival.
Even though the weather might contain a chill, there is no need to simply stay at home for yet another weekend! Hopefully April will bring showers for May flowers, but also a little sun for those of us who want to break free from winter's grasp.
