Fair Park's Basically Beethoven Proves: Like Everything, Classical Music's Better with Beer

By Katie Womack | Thu, July 19, 2012

Most classical music organizations (the opera, symphony, etc.) follow an academic calendar with regularly scheduled concerts from September through May, which means that that come June, musicians get ... More »
Revel in Ravel and Get Brassy

By Marlene Gonzalez | Thu, June 28, 2012

French composer Maurice Ravel reputedly described his famed work “Bolro” as “a piece for orchestra without music.” Apparently, it was not his favorite creation, but then he died long before Bo Derek introduced the piece (heh) to a whole new... More »
Eco-Fashion, Dig It

By Allison Perkins | Thu, March 22, 2012

Turns out that whole green thing wasn’t a fad after all. Thanks a lot, people from the Northeast. Well, at least we got one good thing out of it -- adrenaline rushes when we litter. Just kidding. We have eco-friendly fashion, of course, and... More »

2010 | Best Place For A Kids' Party

The Texas Discovery Gardens now include a new wonderful butterfly conservatory that is basically a rain forest in a three-story greenhouse brimming with exotic butterflies. Elevated walkways allow guests to follow the butterflies all the way up into the tops of the trees. For $200 you can take 40 kids there for a unique and memorable birthday party. The thoughtful folks at the Discovery Gardens provide decorations and have even come up with gender-specific themes: "For the Love of... More »
2005 | Best Organic Garden

At Fair Park in the building and area where the botanical society used to be, Texas Discovery Gardens is a year-round medley of all-organic garden themes, including a butterfly habitat (especially worth seeing during the State Fair), wildlife pond, scent garden, shade garden and heirloom garden. The Dallas Arboretum is more fancy-schmancy, of course, but unlike the Arboretum, the Discovery Gardens is a place where you can see what you can grow without excoriating the earth with 50-pound bags...

2003 | Best Urban Waterfall

Sit on the natural stone ledge and peer into the pondering pool at the base of the two-story waterfall, and you'll forget you're in a building at Fair Park in Dallas. Best of all, you'll forget the three hot checks that beat your direct deposit to the bank last week, your boss' bullshit, your never-ending "to-do" list and the unsavory state of the world. In the glass-walled conservatory at Texas Discovery Gardens, you'll discover a tranquil, tropical paradise--a cross between Blue Lagoon and... More »
