    Dino-mite

    Summer adventures await for both kids and adults at the Perot Museum

    Jun 17, 2024 | 12:00 pm

    The best place to be in Dallas on a hot summer night is inside an air-conditioned building — bonus points when that building is full of dinosaur fossils.

    Thursdays on Tap, Dallas’ favorite Thursday night hangout, is back in full swing at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science now through October 26.

    Grab a bite from the food trucks outside.

    Whether you’re looking for a fun date night or a unique place to meet up with friends or coworkers, Thursdays on Tap is the place to be for the 21-and-up crowd each Thursday from 6-10 pm.

    It gives you the unique opportunity to explore the Perot Museum’s premier exhibit halls without the daytime crowds or kids — and with a drink in hand. In addition to full museum access, guests can also enjoy:

    • Live music from local artists
    • Delicious snacks and meals from food trucks parked outside
    • Craft beers, courtesy of Community Beer Co.
    • Cocktail and wine options, which now include Sonoma Time Frosé
    For more information and to purchase tickets — you'll want to do that in advance, these adults-only gatherings do tend to sell out — visit here.

    If you do want to bring the kids to explore the Perot Museum's five levels of discovery and adventure, there’s no shortage of fun to be found during the day.

    Marvel at everything from towering dinosaurs to space exploration to diamonds. Take part in hands-on STEM activities, race a T. rex, catch a 3-D film, and so much more.

    This summer is also the last chance to explore the museum’s traveling exhibitions T. rex: The Ultimate Predator and Mission Mars: Perseverance Rover before they close in September.

    Regular Perot Museum hours are Sunday 11 am-5 pm and Monday-Saturday 10 am-5 pm. Visit perotmuseum.org to learn more.

    Lace up, bundle up, and hit the ice.

    This holiday season, the first-ever CultureMap City Rink is set to transform Downtown Dallas’ Main Street Garden into a winter wonderland filled with ice skating, twinkling lights, and festive fun for all ages.

    Presented by Verizon and produced in partnership with Downtown Dallas, Inc., the rink will sparkle from November 26, 2025, through January 5, 2026.

    “There’s something special about experiencing the holidays in Downtown Dallas — the lights, the skyline, the sense of togetherness,” says Jennifer Scripps, president and CEO of Downtown Dallas, Inc. “The City Rink at Main Street Garden will capture that spirit and create a destination where the joy of the season truly shines.”

    Expect themed pop-ups and a full slate of programming designed for every kind of holiday reveler. From romantic Date Skate Wednesdays to Family Movie Nights and Shop + Skate Saturday Markets, there’s something new happening each week:

    • Tree Lighting Celebration — Saturday, November 29
    • Dallas Holiday Parade Activation — Saturday, December 6
    • Cheap Skate Mondays — Select Mondays
    • Date Skate — Select Wednesdays
    • Family Movie Night — Select Fridays
    • Shop + Skate Night Market — Select Saturdays
    • Santa Skate — Select Sundays

    When the chill sets in, skaters can warm up at the Après Chalet, a cozy on-site lounge serving holiday drinks (with or without spirits) and hosting entertainment throughout the season.

    “Verizon is passionate about connecting DFW residents to unique experiences,” says Michelle R. Miller, senior vice president at Verizon. “Partnering to bring the magic of CultureMap’s City Rink to life is a wonderful way for us to help our community create lasting memories.”

    The rink will operate November 26 through December 18 with hours Monday-Friday from 4-10 pm, Saturdays 10 am-10 pm, and Sundays 10 am-8 pm.

    During school holidays (December 19-January 4), hours expand to 10 am-10 pm Monday-Saturday and 10 am-8 pm on Sundays.

    Special holiday hours include:

    • November 26-28: 10 am-10 pm
    • December 24 & 31: 10 am-7 pm
    • December 25 & January 1: 1 pm-7 pm

    Tickets are $18 for all ages, and include skate rentals and 75 minutes of ice time. Advance tickets, group reservations, and private rink rentals are available at cityrink.culturemap.com.

    So lace up, bundle up, and get ready to skate under the Dallas skyline, because this year, the holidays shine brightest at CultureMap’s City Rink.
