We enjoyed multiple visits to the Dallas area this summer since my daughter moved there for college. I use the name Dallas loosely as we spent just as much time in the surrounding towns of Frisco, Plano, Denton, Grapevine, and more. There are just so many interesting and fun places to check out.
1. The travelling TITANIC museum. While it did not have as much to offer as one of the more permanent sites around the United States and across the pond, this location still had many interesting displays. In addition to replicas from the set and ship itself, there were many recovered artifacts and screenplay memorabilia. When you first arrive at the museum, you are assigned a passport as if you are a real person who boarded the ship that fateful week. As you travel through the exhibit, you try to learn what you (your person) experienced in those days and if they survived. The whole experience was very poignant. https://thetitanicexhibition.com/dallas/
3. Grapevine Mills Escape Rooms: The Heist - I've done escape rooms before, some of them much more elaborate than others. I've interviewed and published articles on the people who are hired to write these escape room scenarios. It never ceases to amaze me how much planning and details goes into organizing one of these. We had so much fun at this one. They had many more exciting escape room options, but this is the one we chose. https://theescapegame.com/grapevine/escape-rooms/
4. Recycled Books, Records, CD's - This used bookstore is housed in the town of Denton's original opera house. There are rooms upon room, hallways upon hallways, and three floors of new and used books, records, and CD's. They also have posters, old Nintendo, Atari, and more machines and games as well as many other collectibles. You can trade your own or just enjoy perusing and buying from them. Plan to spend some time. You could easily enjoy this place for several hours. https://familydestinationsguide.com/bookstore-unique-literary-wonders-denton-tx/
5. Two Gentlemen of Verona - I love cities that appreciate and integrate the arts into their own culture. For instance, just down the street from #4 in Denton, you can enjoy gelato, sorbet, pastries, and more at this Shakespearean titled locale. https://www.facebook.com/people/Two-Gentlemen-of-Verona/100075739102736/#How about you? Have you enjoyed any great literary travels recently? How about in the Dallas area?

That sounds like a wonderful experience! The Dallas area and its nearby towns like Frisco, Plano, and Grapevine truly have so much to offer in terms of culture, food, and entertainment.

I really enjoyed reading about your experiences in the Dallas area—sounds like you had a wonderful time exploring! The Titanic museum in particular must have been both fascinating and moving. It’s interesting how history, whether through artifacts or storytelling, teaches us the importance of resilience and preservation. It actually reminds me of how car enthusiasts value quality and durability, choosing trusted components like reliance engine parts to keep things running smoothly for years to come. Both show how careful choices help preserve what matters most.
