There are games and a variety of kid’s activities available for family fun (check the schedule before you book).

Try out the Hyatt Regency Dallas

How about a stay at a hotel that is part of the iconic downtown Dallas skyline? Hyatt Regency Dallas is right next to another iconic Dallas landmark, the Reunion Tower.

The hotel is also within walking distance of many tourist attractions, like the Sixth-floor museum at Dealey Plaza and the Historic West End.

This is a perfect place to immerse your family in the historical past of Dallas.

It can’t get any better than that!

A visit to the top of the Reunion Tower is a must, kids of all ages can enjoy looking out from the dome’s stratospheric observation deck.

My kids had a great time with the interactive learning activities and checking out some of their favorite Dallas landmarks. I recommend you go up before sunset as it will give you a new perspective of the city.

To beat the Texas heat, you can chill by the pool and enjoy the view of the Reunion Tower from the pool deck. It is also beautiful at night time when the lights come on.

If you are in the mood for some fine dining, check out the Five Sixty by Wolfgang Puck restaurant which sits high atop Reunion Tower (at 560 ft.) with a revolving dining room that offers 360-degree views of the city.
