They place a real premium on indulgence here, from the anti-gravity chairs that line the walls in the waiting area to the spectacular treatments. Along with that, they offer true Texan hospitality, with daily extended hours so that guests can enjoy an exceptional spa experience on their own schedules."

"After decades of building a loyal customer base and opening outposts across the state, Hiatus is practically a Texas spa institution. The spa’s flagship location in Inwood Village recently received a makeover and now sports a trendy white-and-wood aesthetic, and several new locations have popped up around Dallas in the past year. Regardless of which location you choose, the spa services are consistently solid (as is Hiatus’ signature green tea)."

"Vivian’s, situated at the corner of Ross and Greenville, may be one of the smaller spas on this list, but it also boasts an extensive treatment menu and a chic, cozy interior. The pedicure chairs and cabinets were custom-built in a wood shop in Ennis, and white quartz accents and velvet furniture contribute to the spa’s sophisticated and welcoming aesthetic.

This massage-centric oasis has an airy interior filled with natural materials like rattan, crystals, and raw wood. In place of private rooms, The NOW separates spagoers with thick canvas drapes."

"Home to the Instagram-worthy giant teddy bear statues, this Highland Park city park is a picturesque spot for walking around the creek or picnicking on the grass along Lakeside Drive. The 14-acre park is located along Turtle Creek between Beverly Drive and Armstrong Parkway. It’s very scenic with a bridge over the Turtle Creek Dam, views of palacial Highland Park estates, and the Read Memorial — just be mindful not to step into the many photoshoots visitors set up in the park."

"Lakeside Park is by far my favorite park, and not just because that’s where my husband proposed to me. When you’re not walking on a perfectly manicured lawn or immaculate bridge, there are areas of the park that have a raw beauty that you wouldn’t believe. There’s a stunning mansion and gazebo across the pond (on private land) that look like you’re in the English countryside in a Jane Austen novel."

"Running adjacent to Turtle Creek in the upscale Highland Park neighborhood, Lakeside Park has over 14 acres of perfectly manicured grounds. It’s an idyllic spot for a leisurely stroll or picnic, as there are several walking paths and benches dotting the park. It’s also nice to sit on the banks of Turtle Creek and take in the natural beauty of the area."

"In 1994, the plans for this park and its namesake artwork were a huge source of controversy. Local artists actually sued to prevent them from coming to fruition, taking issue with the subject matter of the giant bronze sculpture — a 19th-century cattle drive — because they felt it misrepresented Dallas’ history. As you might have guessed if you’ve ever driven down Young Street and seen 70 six-foot-tall longhorns, their efforts were for naught."

"Interested in seeing a cattle drive but don’t have time to visit the Fort Worth Stockyards?. Head to Pioneer Plaza where there’s a re-creation of a cattle drive done with over 70 bronze statues. Located adjacent to the Dallas Convention Center, families can pose with the statues (some which are placed on hills and crossing a stream) and check out the waterfall and man-made cliffs."

"For a Texas-sized photo op or just a sight of the largest bronze monument on earth, head to Pioneer Plaza. Its showpiece is a collection of 40 bronze larger-than-life longhorns, amassed as if they were on a cattle drive. There is an unmistakable and compelling power to the tableau."

"Anyone willing to travel a bit further for some natural beauty will be rewarded by this 200-acre park, 20 minutes away in Plano. At Arbor Hills there’s a trail system adding up to about nine miles, including three miles that are paved. The park is broken down into three main habitats: Blackland Prairie, Riparian Forest and Upland Forest, sustaining birds like woodpeckers, herons, owls and turkey vultures, as well as coyotes, deer, bobcats and several snake species."

"Just north of Dallas in Plano is the Arbor Hills Nature Preserve. You can easily spend all day here (if you bring a picnic). The 200-acre park has miles of hiking and biking trails, a playground, and lots of opportunities for spotting wildlife, from coyotes to woodpeckers."

"Located in Plano, Texas, Arbor Hills Nature Preserve is a wonderful display of natural beauty near Dallas. If you’re looking for places to go that are beautiful and rewarding to experience, come here. It’s one of the most gorgeous places in the Dallas area."

"A post shared by Bowl & Barrel (@bowlandbarrel) on Jul 14, 2018 at 7:27am PDT. If you like to get a little competitive with your partner, head to Bowl and Barrel to test your bowling skills. It’s not your typical bowling alley though."

"A family-friendly chain that got its start as a food truck in Austin, Hat Creek Burger Company in Walnut Hill has a spacious play area for kids that features a half-airstream, buried tires, climbing equipment, and a slide. Kids and adults alike will enjoy the milkshakes and burgers, which are made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Keep in mind that Tuesday nights are Family Night, when Big Hat and Little Hat burgers are half price."

"It doesn’t get much more kid-friendly than Hat Creek Burger Company. Sometimes, it isn’t a fancy meal you’re after, but a quick bite and a quick wiggle release. Dallas’ Hat Creek, like all of its locations, includes a pretty epic playground."

"WHY WE LOVE IT: Chef Kirstyn Brewer’s cooking is original, fresh and appealing, and her plates are great for sharing. If you don’t mind high-energy gastropub ambience (and sometimes a long wait for dishes), the rewards can be great."
