One of the primary benefits of living in Dallas TX is the sub-tropical temperatures. The summer season is absolutely stunning and there are plenty of cheap activities to partake in both alone or with the family.

Whether you want to shop in a luxury Downtown boutique, venture out into the wilderness or simply take a relaxing walk in the park, Dallas TX has plenty to offer.

If you’re a little strapped for cash, take advantage of these 10 low-cost activities.

Dallas Arboretum

The Dallas Arboretum is located near White Rock Lake and is home to hundreds of thousands of plants and flowers. While entrance is $15, members of the organization get free general admission.

Fountain Place

Dallas’ Fountain Place is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city. If you appreciate architecture and want to marvel at the dancing water as it ascends skyward, Fountain Place is the place to be.

African American Museum

The African American Museum is the only establishment in the Southwest that’s specifically devoted to African American art and culture. It offers free admission every day (except holidays) from 10am to 5pm.

Nasher Sculpture Center

If you’re an art enthusiast, no doubt you’ve already heard of the Nasher Sculpture Center. This prestigious museum is free on the first Saturday of every month between 10am and 2pm, so make sure you get in line early.

Galaxy Drive In

The Galaxy Drive In theater is perfect during hot summer nights. It mainly shows family friendly movies and costs only $6 for adults and $3 for children. If you’d like a night without the kids, it also shows R-rated movies a couple times per month.

Cedar Ridge Preserve

Surf and Swim

The Surf and Swim water park is one of Dallas’ most popular attractions during the summer. Entrance is only $7, which provides access to the wave pool and water slides.
