Dallas is a very big city with lots to do in the summer. Visitors here have some very interesting venues to choose from. Because Dallas has committed to maintaining the best museums and has such a good civic infrastructure, locals and visitors here can enjoy water sports galore, and interesting and educational adventures

The Medieval Times is an incredible show of medieval horseback jousting and hand-to-hand battle in their expansive arena. Guests are met with 11th century-garbed actors/players, while the visitors are served feasts under color-coded pavilions as they're entertained by an original music score by the Prague Symphony plays in the background. The air is authentic, with real medieval replica swords, mace, axes, lances and javelins. The events follow a simple story line that involves a princess and rogues and knights. Show times for March are shown online, so call for reservations for later on or for the summer. The tickets are $59.95 for adults and $35.95 for children. Call to find out more about this fun-filled idea.

Every big city has a zoo, but do they have truly rare animals? Do they have-state-of the-art display areas that are ecologically pristine and beautifully landscaped? Do they have lots of interactive activities for children? Are their food emporiums quality eateries? Well there's a definite YES in regards to the Dallas Zoo, the first zoological park in the Southwest. Summer is a very busy time here because it's a comfortable season to view the animals bathing and grazing. There are separated outdoor areas for the animals of certain regions. The children's area has a farmyard, an aviary and a petting area where they can interact with and feed the animals. In addition, the pony arena allows them to take a ride on very friendly ponies. Both the nature area and the children's section have food courts where burgers can be bought. Visitors can save themselves time and money parking by using the BART red line to the Zoo Station. The cost is $8.75 for adults and $5.75 for children; it's open from 9-5 daily. The Zoo is located three miles south of downtown Dallas, on I-35E at the Marsalis exit.

Who hasn't heard of Six Flags? Most people just think of it as a huge hub of loud carnival activity with wild rides. While this is true, I think Hurricane Harbor is a really fun place for summer water activities. Escape the heat of Dallas by climbing a giant tower and partaking in watery fun from seven stories up. Select from almost 20 different water thrills, from the rapids, to a lazy river, surfing lagoon and much more. There is a lots to eat and lovely places to lounge and enjoy the sun beside fountains and even waterfalls and geysers. A season's pass for $69.95 will pay for itself in just two visits, so visitors who are planning long stays may want to go that route. Daily tickets are $31.99 at the Park and $25.99 when bought online.
