During your Dallas vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Dallas Zoo
If you're headed west to Fort Worth, and one zoo trip will do, you'd be better off waiting (the Fort Worth Zoo, along with the one in San Antonio, are the two best in Texas and two of the best in the country). Otherwise, if the kids are clamoring for some wild animals, the recently renovated Dallas Zoo -- the oldest zoo in Texas, founded in 1888 -- isn't likely to disappoint (one feature, "Wilds of Africa," was named the top African zoo exhibit in the country). The 85-acre park also features a habitat for rare Sumatran tigers, a chimpanzee forest, and a monorail safari ride. A couple of hours spent here should suffice for the kids.
Dallas Museum of Art
Though a substantial notch below a world-class institution, this I. M. Pei-designed museum contains impressive collections of international art, especially from the Americas, Africa, and Asia and the Pacific. The Arts of the Americas section is the largest and most impressive, with valuable contributions from pre-Columbian lost civilizations of the Aztec, Maya, and Nazca peoples and Spanish colonial arts. The more limited Art of Europe gallery exhibits a handful of works by the biggies -- van Gogh, Monet, Cézanne, Gauguin, and Degas -- while the small 20th-century collection includes Picasso, Mondrian, and Giacometti, among others. The contemporary collection includes works by Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, the Texan Robert Rauschenberg, and Jasper Johns. In the Wendy & Emery Reves Collection is a curious re-creation of Coco Chanel's French summer home, complete with her collection of furnishings and paintings by French Impressionists like Monet, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Degas. The DMA puts on interesting occasional shows, such as the recent, colorful "Day of the Dead" installation and the blockbuster "Splendors of China's Forbidden City" exhibit. In the atrium, where jazz combos play for free on Thursday evenings, hangs a gorgeous, monumental blown-glass sculpture by Dale Chihuly. A couple of hours should be sufficient, unless you're a dedicated art hound.
The Dallas World Aquarium
Housed in a former warehouse in the West End district, the Dallas aquarium not at Fair Park is a good place to hide out from the sun downtown. My niece and nephew enjoy communing with the stingrays, sea turtles, sharks, and reef fish. Their favorite, though, is "Orinoco -- Secrets of the River," an immersion into the tropical rainforest of Venezuela, a cool area teeming with Peruvian squirrel monkeys, endangered Orinoco crocs, jaguars, and soft-billed toucans. The newest exhibit is "Mundo Maya," with a 400,000-gallon shark tank. Plan on about an hour's visit. A restaurant and a cafe are on the premises.

Great value for the money

SMU is only 15 minutes away and a great wine bar- Wine'tastic- is only 10 minutes away.
StudioPlus was a perfect sized room for me and my small dog. The room was very comfortable and the kitchen was perfect to do some easy cooking. The bathroom was modern with a larger than average tub. The hotel's fitness room was a nice bonus. I would highly recommend this hotel for the money.

Remember that you are on a service road so pay attention to the exits
We were in Dallas for a basketball tournament that meant we would be watching games from 11:00 am until around l0:00 pm. In the past finding a place to eat has been a problem. This is the reason for trying the Studio Plus. I was impressed with the helpfull person I spoke to when I called to make sure that we would get a non smoking room. We went to a grocery store< nearby, and we were then able to have our breakfast while getting dressed. At night when we came home we could have a lite supper before retiring for the evening. The arena was only 2 exits from the hotel. Location was super for the West End District.

Terrible Experience
Anonymous, 2005-10-09
I would not know, my reservation was cancelled days before I was to arrive in Dallas.
My reservation was cancelled because there was a football game in town and the hotel realized it could make more money if it cancelled my reservation and rented out the rooms at a much higher rate. I had reserved my room approximately four months in advance. I was notified days before I was to arrive in Dallas that I would not have a room. Customer service, customer service, customer service, customer service, customer service.

It was a great room for the price. The location is right off the interstate as well which made it easy to locate as well as convenient to get to the game without even having to get back on the interstate. I'd recommend
