3. Explore the Dallas Museum of Art together
As one of the largest art museums in the country, the Dallas Museum of Art is an incredible resource that’s worth taking advantage of. Whether you’re more excited about contemporary art or are hoping to learn more about history through ancient art, there’s something for every kind of art lover here.
4. Or explore art outdoors at the Nasher Sculpture Center
Depending on the weather, you may or may not prefer to enjoy art in an outdoor setting! Just remember that the Nasher Sculpture Center is one of the best collections of sculpture not just in the country, but in the world—so it’s worth a visit!
5. Discover everything the Bishop Arts District has to offer
The ultra-trendy Bishop Arts District contains more than 60 independent boutiques, restaurants, coffee shops, and art galleries—hence their naming themselves “Dallas’ most independent neighborhood”! It’s a cute, cozy neighborhood with tons of cool and creative stuff going on all the time, so it’s definitely worth a visit. Check out their events page to see if there’s anything exciting coming up soon.

6. Take a helicopter trip at sunset with Sky Helicopters
Sky Helicopters offers a romantic sunset tour that lasts 45 minutes and passes over downtown Dallas, Six Flags, the Globe Life Park at Arlington, DFW Airport, AT&T Stadum, and more! What an amazing and memorable way to mark your anniversary.
7. De-stress and relax together at the Spa at the Joule
We recommend a luxurious couples massage, for which the spa’s highly trained massage therapists will customize their aromatherapy massage to suit exactly what your bodies need. They also offer a range of other skincare treatments and spa experiences.
8. Go on a trail ride at Widowmaker Trail Rides
It’s hard to imagine a more quintessentially Texan experience than a trail ride. While you’ll have quite a few stables and ranches to choose from, Widowmaker Trail Rides has particularly glowing reviews. Many reviewers comment that the guide is trustworthy and a great teacher, the horses are easy for beginners to ride, and the whole experience was a blast!
9. Take an idyllic private gondola cruise with Gondola Adventures
We love the idea of riding in a gondola, paddled by an old-fashioned gondolier wearing the traditional black and white stripes! You’ll have the opportunity to view the city from a totally new angle, and you’ll also be served a delicious breakfast, lunch, or dinner (you can even choose whether you’d prefer a fancy meal or a more casual one for your trip).
10. Step into the future at Sandbox VR
Sandbox VR provides fully immersive VR experiences inspired by the Star Trek Holodeck, so it’s safe to say that you’ll feel like you’ve stepped directly into the future if you choose to celebrate your anniversary here. Reviewers consistently comment that they’re blown away by how real the experience feels.
11. Walk around the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden
If your anniversary falls between February 24 and April 8, then you’re in luck. You can visit here during the largest annual floral festival in the Southwest, known as Dallas Blooms! But regardless of what time of year you visit, there’s always plenty of natural beauty here to enjoy and soak in, ideally hand in hand with your beloved.
A beautiful setting is all you need to bring our sweet anniversary photoshoot ideas to life!
12. Take a spooky ghost tour from Dallas Terrors
Perhaps you and your partner are the kind of people who like to spend your date night cuddling up while watching horror movies. If so, you enjoy a healthy fright now and then! Take this experience to the next level by taking a terrifying ghost tour like those offered by Dallas Terrors.
13. Visit a nearby lakeside beach
Although Dallas isn’t super close to the coast (it’s about a six-hour drive, in fact), this doesn’t mean you don’t have easy access to beaches nearby. They just happen to be lakeside beaches, rather than ocean-adjacent ones. A couple of great and relatively convenient examples are Ray Roberts Lake State Park and Lake Tawakoni State Park, among others!
14. Get to know the wildlife at the Dallas Zoo
It’s the largest zoo in Texas with over 406 different species housed on 106 acres of land. To make the experience extra special, consider buying tickets for the zoo’s “backstage safari” experience, which is a 90-minute guided tour showing how the zookeepers care for their animals daily.
15. Or learn more about aquatic life at the Dallas World Aquarium
If you and your spouse are more interested in aquatic animals than land animals, a trip to the Dallas World Aquarium is likely to be more your speed for an anniversary celebration. From the rainforest exhibit with exotic birds, sloths, and giant river otters to marine life like sharks, rays, and sawfish, the array of biodiversity here is truly impressive and engaging.
16. Reserve an outdoor event venue and plan an anniversary picnic that knocks your partner’s socks off
There’s no question that when the weather is nice, a beautiful picnic full of tasty treats and refreshing beverages is not only one of the best anniversary ideas in Dallas—it’s a top-notch anniversary idea anywhere.
You could always plan to have the picnic in a public park. But, if you’d prefer to have a bit more privacy and make the experience a little more special, you can also check out the outdoor venues in Dallas that are available for rent on Peerspace.
Here are just a few of the many amazing examples:
- This desert retreat in Northwest Dallas, which is a large backyard that’s surrounded by majestic trees and has impressive amenities like an outdoor shower, a garden tub, a fire pit, a dining table with seating for nine people, and a high-quality Traeger grill that gives your BBQ a delicious wood-fired flavor.
- This spectacular flower farm with a party barn and pavilion in Ferris, Texas is an absolutely stunning option if you’re willing to travel outside the city (although it’s only 25 minutes south of downtown Dallas, so it’s not too much of a trek).
- This gorgeous gathering space known as the Hidden Cliff is only a mile west from downtown Dallas, in the heart of the creative Bishop Arts District, and provides an incredible view of the Dallas skyline among other awesome features.
