Whenever your near Dallas, TX. You should stop by the Dallas Arboretum whenever you have a chance. They change it so if you come back more than once, you won't be seeing the same exact things. It is very pretty and it is so fun to visit! I would higly reccommend it.

Dallas Arboretum is a beautiful place to visit during the spring. They have multiple gardens with different arrangements in each one. During the day they also have an animal petting zoo for the children. You have so many photo opportunities during your walk through the garden. It is nice and clean and parking is plentiful however there is a parking fee.

A few weeks ago, I went to the Dallas Arboretum over the weekend with a group of ladies for the final days of Dallas Blooms, and have to say, this place is gorgeous! It was the perfect day to walk through all these gardens and water areas - very soothing! There were lots of folks talking photos of their kids or wedding photos. The breeze was blowing - it was SO nice! There are lots of beautiful flowers in bloom and lush grasses swaying in the breeze - and LOTS of trees! I would encourage you to visit the Dallas Arboretum, take a picnic lunch and take your shoes off and run your toes through the grass. The little prairie-style village is an intersting place to learn about those brave Texas Pioneers too! PROS: Wonderful place for a picnic CONS: Can get crowded - bad if you have allergies
