If you’re coming to Dallas this Spring Break, safely plan your time in the city visiting Dallas’ top attractions. The CityPASS lets you visit the Perot Museum of Nature and Science, Reunion Tower’s GeO-Deck, The Sixth Floor Museum, and the Dallas Zoo (which is usually an or option with the George W. Bush Museum – we can’t wait for them to reopen!) for the low price of $31 for children and $47 for adults – a deal that simply can’t be beat!
Each attraction has safely reopened their doors with plenty of health and safety protocols to keep you and your family safe during your visit. Here is what’s happening at each of these attractions during Spring Break!
