Sixth Floor Museum, 4.3 Stars
Created in 1989, this museum is located on the sixth and seventh floors of this 20th century warehouse. It includes films, artifacts, and photographs about the life and death of President John F Kennedy. It also includes a reading room where guests can read books and listen to audio recordings. This is a must see for anyone who likes history or presidents.


Reunion Tower, 3.3 Stars
The Reunion Tower is the large ball shaped tower in the picture. The observation deck inside the ball was closed for 6 years, but reopened last year. It offers great views of Dallas on one side. There is also a restaurant/bar inside the tower, but some reviews say the food is just OK. This is a must see for anyone who enjoys city views.


AT&T Performing Arts Center, 4.7 Stars
This performing arts center opened in 2009, but was planned 30 years before that. It now occupies 10 acres of the Dallas Arts District. The center also includes the Margot, Annette Staurss Square, and Bill Winspear Opera House (pictured). This is a must see for anyone who enjoys music, education, or culture.

My Review (7)
I give Dallas a 7 out of 10. There are a lot of interesting museums there. It's one of the cities in the US with the most restaurants per capita. I would like to visit The Reunion Tower, I like how it stands out from the rest of the city. I don't like how hot it can be, though. I'm not really sure on my review, because I haven't visited yet.
