Exquisitely landscaped grounds that house various full-blooms all year round make the Dallas Arboretum as enchanting as it is educational for any grandkid. Stroll the Boswell Family Garden and to see some expertly shaped topiary, then make your way over to the Jonsson Color Garden where 2,000 varieties of Azaleas live, adding a beautiful blush mishmash among all the greenery. Each year, the Arboretum hosts Artscape, a family-oriented showcase of fine art, live entertainment and the Tour de Fleurs race.

Info: Adults $9.50, seniors 65 and older $8, children 3 to 12 $6, children 2 and younger free

Hours: Daily 9am to 5pm
