Dallas

North Texas city with the Arts District, the Sixth Floor Museum and a light rail from DFW.

Downtown and the airport work without a car. The DART Orange Line runs from DFW Airport Terminal A into downtown Dallas. A local day pass is $6, and a 3-hour pass is $3. Trains run every 20 minutes in weekday peak hours. A 2014 DART post put the ride to West End at 50 minutes, and that time is not confirmed as current.

Klyde Warren Park is free and open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. The Dallas Museum of Art is free too, but every visitor needs a ticket, and it is closed Monday and Tuesday. The Sixth Floor Museum is $27 at the door, and the Perot Museum is $27 for an adult. The Arboretum is $21.95 to $25.95, plus $15 to park. No transit route to the Arboretum, the Zoo or AT&T Stadium is confirmed, so a car or rideshare is the safe plan there.

You can reach Fort Worth by train. Ride the Trinity Railway Express to Fort Worth Central Station, then take the Trinity Metro Orange Line bus to the Stockyards. The train has no regular Sunday service, and a regional day pass is $9. The free Stockyards cattle drive runs at 11:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
