What to do and see in Dallas, Texas (TX): The Best Game & Entertainment Centers
You may have all heard that everything is bigger in Texas. Well, Dallas does its best to fulfill that promise. You'll find several museums with vast art collections and fascinating specialty museums like The Sixth Floor Museum/Texas School Book Depository, which, though small in size, offers an immense amount of information about the assassination of John F. Kennedy. And of course, visit a local steakhouse for a terrific (and enormous) meal.

1. Dallas Circus Center
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 71 reviews
Dallas Circus Center (formerly Skyline Trapeze) started in 2013 as a way for professional performers to practice while they travel. Since then, we've evolved into a training facility dedicated to sharing our love for our creative sport. We love helping people learn and introducing them to the art that we're so passionate about, so if you're looking for an original way to get some fresh air and experience new heights, we hope you'll come see our new facility near Love Field!

I booked a two hour private trapeze class for my sister's bachelorette party and it was a HUGE SUCCESS. My sister was so surprised and excited and all the ladies had an incredible time. Even the ones who were nervous still tried and loved it, because the instructors made us feel so safe and comfortable. Very clear, thorough instruction while still being super fun and personable. Donovan was in communication with me before, helping me to plan the whole event. They also took amazing photos for us throughout the class. This was a truly unforgettable experience. Days later and we can't stop talking about it. Book a class! You will not be disappointed.

My family and I took an overnight trip to Dallas this weekend and decided to visit Spark after finding discount tickets on a coupon site. I have a five year old, a tween, and a teen. They all really enjoyed themselves. It’s a beautiful (and clean) facility that highlights creativity in all forms, as well as recycling/sustainability. There we multiple art stations and an INSANE play place for all ages in the other large room. The staff was personable, knowledgeable, and helpful. There are free lockers available for storage and a snack bar. I was pleasantly surprised at how despite it being a Saturday there was still plenty of room to try all of the art exhibits and installations. We will definitely return! Recommendation: dress your little ones in jeans in lieu of knit bottoms. My daughter’s sweatpants snagged on the metal slide and tore a little. She’ll definitely wear jeans next go round. Have fun, play hard!

5. Cidercade Dallas

5.0 based on 156 reviews
The best arcade bar in Dallas. $10 admission for unlimited play on 125+ games! Enjoy adult beverages from Bishop Cider and food trucks every day. We're family-friendly during the day and 21+ at 8pm.
Reviewed By Curtis_Wise
As the name "Cidercade" suggests, this place has two selling points: cider and an arcade. First up, the cider is awesome. Mango Habanero and The Light Cide are two of my favorites. Texas doesn't have a plethora of great cideries so this place is a godsend. Second is the arcade. Ten bucks gets you in the door and gives you free play to everything. (A $20 month pass is available too.) Well over 100 games I'd guess. Lots of them are old and obscure, but there's still some classics and a selection of modern games. Plus a ton of pinball cabinets! All in all a great place for a date or a hangout with friends!
6. XD Ride Adventure
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1 reviews
XD Ride brings the thrill of a roller coaster and the 7D interactive simulation of a video game right to you to create an exhilarating experience for the whole family. All guests are strapped into a motion seat that gives you the feeling that you are really falling, crashing and flying. Along with the motion effect, there is state of the art surround sound, wind, and light effects that make you feel like you are a part of the game. The best part of the experience is that you will be equipped with a laser blaster to fend off the enemy attack and compete for the high score to beat your family and friends. Don’t hesitate to add this new experience to your Things-To-Do list.

Had a large team building event there while we were in town. Negatives - in what seemed like a shady part of town. Also lots of lanes open but our party of 20 had to use one lane so a lot of standing around waiting. Place seemed slightly run down. Positives - Experience was very cool. Instructed did a great job. Some games like Jenga, connect4, while you waited, alcohol available, it was fun!

Topgolf takes all your favorite leisure activities - bowling, darts and golf - and fuses them with great food and drinks to form a truly unique game and outdoor entertainment facility. Topgolf requires no golf experience. What makes Topgolf so revolutionary? Each ball contains a microchip that awards points by hitting targets that look like dart boards. The further the target and the closer you get to the center, the more points you are awarded.
