When July hits and the sun scorches, Dallasites naturally start flocking indoors. But with the kids out of school, they need activities to keep their minds and bodies active. We’ve rounded up 10 kid-friendly activities in Dallas to stay cool and keep the youngsters entertained.

iFly Dallas
Knock off a bucket list item and skydive indoors. Fall, fly, and literally float on air from 8:30 am-9 pm Sunday through Thursday and 8 am-10 pm Friday and Saturday. There are several locations in the area. Kids as young as 3 years old can participate, and two flights for a first-timer are $79.95.

LOOK Cinemas Kids’ Summer Movie Series
On Tuesdays and Saturdays at 10 am, kids and adults alike can see a movie for $1. This month’s films include Captain Underpants, Secret Life of Pets, and Lego Batman. There’s also a special kids’ meal for $4.50.

Lunar Mini Golf
Play some putt-putt in an outer space-like atmosphere. The neon lights and A/C make this a really cool place to play a quality game of mini golf with the kiddos. The Grapevine Mills Mall course is open Monday through Saturday, 10 am-9 pm, and Sunday, 11 am-7 pm. A game is $9 for adults and $8 for kids ages 6-12.

Perot Museum: "Ultimate Dinosaurs"
Take a trip back to prehistoric times at the new exhibit at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science. With hands-on activities and augmented reality technology, kids of all ages can learn about a new breed of dinosaurs that evolved in South America, Africa, and Madagascar. The exhibit opens at 10 am Monday through Saturday, 11 am on Sunday, and closes at 6 pm daily. Tickets start at $13 per person.

Escape The Room
Challenge your kids (and yourself) in a game of wits and courage in an escape room. Choose from a Western bank heist, an apartment, a spy agency, or an archaeological dig — and solve your way out in 60 minutes. There are locations in Dallas and Fort Worth. Reserve your spots ahead of time online for $28 per person.

Jumpstreet
Let your kids jump out all that extra summertime energy at this indoor trampoline park located in north Dallas. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, you and your kiddos can bounce and flip for two hours for $10 each. Just arrive any time from 10 am-9 pm.

Summit Rock Climbing
For your little thrill seeker, buy a $15 day pass for unlimited rock climbing at Summit. From 11 am-10 pm Monday through Saturday and 12 pm-8 pm on Sunday, the family can scale some walls and do some yoga in air-conditioned bliss during the heat of the afternoon. There are several locations throughout the Metroplex.

George W. Bush Presidential Center: “First Ladies: Style of Influence”
School-age kids can spend the day learning about the women of the White House. Everything from rare photographs and historical documents to artifacts and gowns are on display. Tickets are $19 for adults and $13 for children and include admission to the museum and First Ladies exhibit.

Sweet Tooth Hotel
Escape the heat and check into the Sweet Tooth Hotel for an hour. This pop-up shop includes five unique rooms filled with color and candy. Open until August 31 in Victory Park, the attraction has been a hit, so make sure to purchase tickets online before you go. It’s $20 for everyone and open 10 am-7 pm most days.

Crayola Experience
Recently opened in Plano at The Shops at Willow Bend, this colorful family attraction is filled with hands-on activities. Star in your own coloring page and name and wrap your own Crayola crayon. The Experience is open 365 days a year from 10 am-8 pm, and tickets are $20.

Dallas Cowboys remain NFL’s most valuable team at staggering $16 billion

Despite last season’s record of 7-9-1 and this season’s opening loss to the New York Giants, the Dallas Cowboys remain the NFL’s golden team.

CNBC’s annual ranking of the NFL’s most valuable franchises once again puts the Cowboys at No. 1. Jerry Jones’ team is worth an estimated $16 billion based on 2025 figures, up from $12.5 billion the previous year. Just as noteworthy: The ’Boys were the only team to break the $1 billion mark for revenue, pulling in nearly $1.3 billion last year.

Jones, the team’s owner, president, and general manager, has practically transformed the Cowboys into an ATM. He bought the team in 1989 for only $150 million. Based on CNBC’s $16 billion estimate, the team’s value has jumped 10,567 percent over more than three decades.

In a 2016 interview with CNBC, Jones explained why he purchased the ’Boys: “I bought the Cowboys because I just wanted to be associated with sports and football. And I didn’t buy them for money.”

Two years later, Jones told Bloomberg that no amount of money would ever persuade him to sell the team.

“They’re a long-term asset, and my immediate family — which has been a part of making them what they are today — [will] own the Cowboys long after I’m gone,” he said.

The Cowboys make up just one component of Jones’ vast wealth. He also holds investments in the energy, real estate, hospitality and restaurant sectors. The Bloomberg Billionaires Index estimates his net worth at $20.9 billion.

Behind the Cowboys on CNBC’s most-valuable roster are the Los Angeles Rams, at $14.5 billion; Las Vegas Raiders, $13 billion; New York Giants, $12.5 billion; and New England Patriots, $12.25 billion.

What about the Cowboys’ archrival, the Philadelphia Eagles? With an estimated value of $11.5 billion, the Eagles roost at No. 8, according to CNBC.

And the Lone Star State’s other NFL team, the Houston Texans, sits at No. 15 with an estimated value of $9.9 billion.
