If you’re new to the Dallas area and you’re not used to the heat then the following are a few tips for avoiding the hottest days of the Dallas Summer.
Check them out.
1. Dallas Topgolf
Topgolf is one of the hottest activities around the US. You don’t need to be a pro golfer to enjoy it and you also don’t need to go outside to hit the links where it can be really hot in the summertime in Dallas.
Head over to Dallas Topgolf with a few friends. You’ll be able to enjoy drinks and food while watching a baseball game on TV and hitting a few shots at targets.
It’s like going to the bowling alley only more modern and with golf. It’s fun and really popular. You’ll probably have to book a time in advance because it gets busy…fast.
The best part is that you’re mostly inside with AC or fans blowing on you to keep you cool. And you can go at night when it’s cooler.
2. Music Clubs
During the hot summer months it’s best to hunker down during the day and come out at night when it’s cooler.
A great activity to do during the evening and night hours is to check out a great live band at one of the great music clubs in Dallas.
Check out The Loft, which has all kinds of different live music.
3. Movies And Beer
Movie theaters are great places to go in the summertime when it’s too hot to be outside. Movies have been part of summer for decades. There are blockbusters opening every weekend and some of the best “popcorn” (thrillers, action, etc.) are released in the summer.
Head over to your favorite theater or take it to a new level by checking out a place like the Alamo Drafthouse where you get food and drinks with your movie.
4. Mega Arcades
If you’re over 30 years old you probably remember arcades. Kids could go in and spend all day in the arcade and the best part was you only needed a few dollars in quarters to keep you going for that amount of time.
Arcades aren’t as popular as they once were, but they’re still just as fun. During the hot summer months you can head to the arcade at any time during the day to avoid the heat. Take a trip down memory lane and play all the classics.
You’ll have just as much fun as you did as a kid. NickelRama is a great option.
Give this one a chance. You might think arcades are just for kids, but you’ll find people of all ages looking to blow off steam and just have some fun like the good old days.
5. Indoor Water Parks
This is a great one for families or even for a group of friends. The water park is great during the hot months. There are tons of outdoor water parks to choose from, but even those can be hot when you’re out in the sun all day.
Choose an indoor water park like the Great Wolf. You’ll be able to enjoy the fun of a water park without being out in the sun all day.
Use it like a staycation. Take the family for the weekend and have some fun.
Conclusion

Try the activities above and you’ll find plenty to do all while staying cool during these hot summer months.
