Hi guys welcome to another episode of ultimate bucket list and on today's show
I'm here in the Texan city of Dallas
they say that everything is bigger in Texas and it's certainly the case here
in Dallas the city is absolutely huge but navigating the downtown area is
actually quite straightforward I suppose the first thing I better tell you about
is this the reunion tower arguably Dallas is most famous landmark yes it
looks like a big ball on a stick but when you actually go to it it looks like
the lobby of a hotel and once you've me under the lift you
get a 360-degree view of the city of Dallas and it's quite a stunning view
you can see the sheer scale of this place from right here at the top and I
highly recommend that you pay the extra money to go up to the observation deck
because you get some fantastic photo and video opportunities you can also eat and
drink here whilst overlooking downtown but to be honest that's plenty of places
are along downtown that you can eat yes I know this is a hooters and they're
everywhere but it's just one example of a number of cuisines that you can
actually have once you're here in Dallas I highly recommend sampling all the
different culinary foods such as tex-mex and barbecue definitely the barbecue if
you get a chance to do it and once you're here in downtown I highly
recommend coming here the American Airlines Center this is home to two of
Dallas's famous sports teams the Dallas Stars who play ice hockey and the Dallas
Mavericks who play basketball if you're willing to drive further afield travel
to AT&T Stadium and watch the Dallas Cowboys their most famous football team
and arguably the most famous team in all of America
Ashlee made a separate video about it right here but back to downtown and
exploring some of the cool and quirky buildings that you'll find here in
downtown there's plenty of things to do here such
as this the Dallas world aquarium but if you want to go to any of the museum's
you might have a hard time if it's a Monday because most of the museum's for
some reason close on a Monday here in Dallas so if you do want to go to the
Dallas Museum of Arts the History Museum etc more often than not they actually
closed on a Monday so better in mind if you are visiting this city but even if
the museums are closed walk around the city and you'll find lots of interesting
architecture the Dallas Arboretum for example which is very very pretty and
there's lots of food trucks that line very streets believe it or not this
streets is actually famous for all of its food trucks once again spent some
time in the douse world aquarium if you can yes it's an aquarium but quite a
nice one this is also famous for the TV show of the same name and once again I
made a separate video about it right here on my channel if you do want to
visits Southfork Ranch but if you're short on time and you want to see Dallas
all in one stop I highly recommend getting on one of the bus tours because
they basically show you around everything including the Dealey Plaza
this is the famous building where Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated President
John F Kennedy and this X on the road literally marks the spots where he was
shot but if murder isn't your thing try and meander around some of its parks
because there's some interesting statues such as this pot which is full of steel
Longhorns and check out this kid doing pull-ups on it huh it's got better over
body strength than me but it's a nice park to walk around
okay guys if you do come here to Dallas you'll come across a few strange things
for example this I now have no idea why there's a giant I kind of sat in the
middle of the field somewhere but Sir yeah it's a tie if you want a slice of
cowboy culture I highly recommend driving for an hour across two
neighboring forts worth check out the Fort Worth Stockyards once again I made
a separate video about this right here on my channel but I highly recommend
that you do this as part of a trip to Dallas but if you do hang around
downtown wait till nightfall because the city blows up black of Christmas tree no
seriously it really does look like this it's one of the prettiest cities I've
been to at nights and I only recommend just wandering around you'll be
absolutely safe because most people carry guns you'll be fine and absorb
some of the nighttime culture that Dallas has to offer
okay I'm sorry what do I do well you need to get here to the city of
Dallas from dallas-fort Worth Airport it's literally about 20 master downtown
and unfortunately you're mostly going to have to drive because this is a big
place and you probably can't get too many places without a car there's plenty
of rental companies that are around that you can hire a car from and I highly
recommend this as your main mode of transport the cost to do these things
well the cost of Dallas was actually quite reasonable attractions are
reasonable sports events are reasonable and it's actually one of the more
cost-effective City I've been to here in the United States is there anything else
I need to know yes Texans are extremely friendly so don't
be suspicious if a Texan is very very nice to you but be warned because quite
a lot of them carry guns it doesn't mean that they're all
terrorists it just means that open carry and conceal carry are perfectly legal
