You’ve packed your spurs, shined your boots, and donned your cowboy hat for your flight to Dallas, Texas. (Lookin’ snazzy.) The only thing missing is your to-do list. There’s no shortage of events, restaurants, and activities to keep you busy in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. The problem is that there might be too many options — even if this ain’t your first rodeo, you might be feeling overwhelmed.

But that’s no reason to give up, mount your trusty steed, and ride off into the sunset. Below, you’ll find Dallas area recommendations you can hang your hat on, including tours and museums, as well as how to find your way home to Netflix House Dallas. Keep reading for more.

AT&T Stadium

Address: 1 AT&T Way, Arlington, Texas

Why it’s worth a visit: How ’bout them Cowboys? No matter which NFL team you root for, the Dallas Cowboys have been “America’s Team” since their historic run in the 1970s, when they made five Super Bowl appearances and won two. America’s Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys dives deep into the team’s history: the highs of the ’70s, the dismal lows of the ’80s, and their climb back to the top after Jerry Jones bought the team in 1989. After you’ve binged the docuseries — which features interviews with NFL legends and rare archival footage — you can take a tour of AT&T Stadium in Arlington to keep the party going.

Stoney’s Dallas Cowboys Museum

Address: 1114 Redbud Court, Arlington, Texas

Why it’s worth a visit: Hankering for more Cowboys history after finishing The Gambler and His Cowboys? Super fan Stoney Kersh has you covered. Kersh has been collecting team memorabilia since he was a kid. He opened the Stoney’s Dallas Cowboys Museum in his own home over a decade ago, and he welcomes visitors to view and appreciate his collection. But keep in mind: The official website suggests you book a by-appointment-only tour a week or two in advance.

Ford Center at The Star

Address: 9 Cowboys Way, Frisco, Texas

Why it’s worth a visit: If you watched America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, then you know the hard work and dedication it takes to be a part of football’s favorite cheer squad. DCC is the pinnacle of professional cheerleading, and the practice facilities reflect that. The team, like the football players they cheer on, practices at The Star, the Dallas Cowboys’ corporate headquarters in Frisco. You can take tours of the facility to learn more about both teams and their history. And for younger fans, the Cowboys and DCC host youth camps every summer that include coaching from former NFL players and current cheerleaders.

Dealey Plaza

Address: 400 Main Street, Dallas, Texas

Why it’s worth a visit: This city park and the surrounding area in Dallas’s West End Historic District were named a National Historic Landmark in 1993, three decades after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated there in 1963. The historical event changed American politics forever — and has since inspired films like LBJ and series like 11.22.63 and The Umbrella Academy, all of which depict Dealey Plaza and revolve around JFK’s assassination. While there, you can visit the John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza and the “John F. Kennedy and the Memory of a Nation” exhibit at the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza.

Ervay Theater

Address: 1707 S. Ervay Street, Dallas, Texas

Why it’s worth a visit: Season 2 of The Umbrella Academy takes place in ’60s-era Dallas after the super-powered Hargreeves siblings, fresh off one apocalyptic disaster, are thrown back in time to deal with another one. Luther (Tom Hopper) ends up working as a body man for Jack Ruby (John Kapelos), a local gangster. While most of the locales and characters in Season 2 are fictional, Ruby was a real person. He was a business manager and nightclub owner, and would eventually go on to kill Lee Harvey Oswald, the man accused of assassinating JFK. Among Ruby’s many business dealings was a stint managing Dallas’s Ervay Theater in the early 1950s. Formerly a movie theater, Ervay Theater is still standing today and is primarily an event space.

M.L. Leddy’s

Address: 2455 N. Main Street, Fort Worth, Texas

Why it’s worth a visit: Best friends Lee Seo-jin and Nah Yung-suk did some true cowboy-inspired shopping in their reality travel series Ready or Not: Texas, which follows their unscripted adventure through the Lone Star state. Dallas is spoiled for shopping opportunities, and M.L. Leddy’s has been making handcrafted leather boots and saddles since 1922. Seo-jin and Yung-suk got a chance to wander this historic store and get fitted for wrangler-worthy boots and classic cowboy hats.

Fort Worth Stockyards

Address: 131 E. Exchange Avenue, Fort Worth, Texas

Why it’s worth a visit: The Fort Worth Stockyards are your one-stop shop in Dallas for all things Wild West. As the centerpiece of the Fort Worth National Historic District, the stockyards feature a twice-daily cattle drive — which Seo-jin and Yung-suk got to witness in Ready or Not: Texas — as well as rodeo events, live music, and much more.

Gas Monkey Garage

Address: 2330 Merrell Road, Dallas, Texas

Why it’s worth a visit: Episode 2 of Ready or Not: Texas sees the guys take a tour of Gas Monkey Garage with owner Richard Rawlings, who gives them a firsthand look at his ever-growing collection, including historical vehicles, onscreen classics, and hot rods galore. You can follow in their revved-up footsteps by taking your own tour.

Netflix House Dallas

Address: Galleria Dallas, 13550 N. Dallas Parkway, Dallas, Texas

Why it’s worth a visit: After traveling around the greater Dallas area, it’s nice to know you can always go home — to Netflix House Dallas. Our House is free to enter (look for the oversized red envelope), and features beloved characters from some of our most popular shows and movies, including Wednesday, Squid Game, ONE PIECE, Stranger Things, KPop Demon Hunters, and Bridgerton. You can also enjoy a meal and a cocktail at Netflix Bites restaurant. And if you purchase a ticket, you can participate in larger-than-life experiences: journey into Hawkins and escape the Upside Down in Stranger Things: Face the Dark, or square off against the Front Man in Squid Game: Survive the Trials. 

You can learn more about what to expect from Netflix House Dallas — and its sister location in Philadelphia — on Tudum, and more about upcoming events on the Netflix House website.
