Hello All.

I moved to Austin less than a year ago and my folks are coming down from PA for a visit. They are flying into DFW and we are going to spend a few days in the area. Anyone have any suggestions for things to do....hopefully some inside activities so we don't melt....

I think they might enjoy the JFK exhibit and I wanted to go to the Fort Worth Zoo but after that I need some suggestions.

Thanks in Advance!

6th Floor is good history.
I love the Dallas World Aquarium.
Check the Dallas Summer Musicals and the Water Tower Theater for shows.
Sometimes there are funny folks at the Addison Improv or some fun piano dueling going on at various bars/restaurants.
Try learning a line dance at a country western club.
Rent a boat or kayak at any number of lakes.

World Aquarium is awesome. If their into baseball, a game is a must but get seats in the Right field area, it's the most shaded.
