Looking for the best things to do in Dallas, TX with kids? This guide counts down 20 family-friendly attractions across Dallas–Fort Worth, from a free vintage trolley to a rainforest hidden inside a downtown office building — plus 5 kid-friendly restaurants at the end.
We cover the brand-new Universal Kids Resort in Frisco, the twice-daily cattle drive in the Fort Worth Stockyards, the world's first giga dive coaster at Six Flags Over Texas, and the one attraction I'd never skip on a family trip to Dallas.
Everything here is checked for 2026: current hours, what's actually open, and the practical stuff nobody tells you (like which attractions close early in the week, and which one no longer has a monorail).
