10 Fun and Unique Things to Do in Dallas This Year (That Aren’t the Same Old Spots)

Jun 23

Dallas-Fort Worth is packed with things to do, but if you’re tired of the usual tourist attractions and want something fun, fresh, and memorable for your next outing, we’ve got you covered. Whether you’re planning a family day, a birthday, or a corporate get-together, these activities will give you a reason to get out and explore the DFW area.

And for a one-of-a-kind group experience, don’t miss the newest interactive trend hitting Dallas events: Hoop Dallas, the mobile arcade basketball trailer that turns any party or gathering into a high-energy experience.

1. Shoot Hoops in the Hoop Dallas Mobile Arcade

Tired of bowling and mini-golf? Hoop Dallas brings a totally unique entertainment option right to you. Our custom trailer features four professional arcade basketball hoops inside a climate-controlled, LED-lit space. Guests can shoot, compete, and play for hours, making it perfect for birthdays, corporate events, school fundraisers, and neighborhood parties.

Unlike brick-and-mortar arcades, Hoop Dallas comes to your driveway, office, park, or venue anywhere in DFW. With rates starting at $400 for four hours, it’s an affordable and unforgettable way to host a gathering without the hassle of booking a traditional event space.

2. Stroll Through Klyde Warren Park

Located in the heart of downtown, Klyde Warren Park is a Dallas staple, but it never gets old. With food trucks, live music, and plenty of open space, it’s perfect for a picnic or casual day out. For group events, pair it with Hoop Dallas by booking a section of the park (with the city’s permission) to create a one-of-a-kind outing.

3. Check Out Bishop Arts District

For those who love exploring, Bishop Arts District is full of eclectic shops, local restaurants, and art galleries. Plan a day of shopping and food, then wrap up your evening with a private Hoop Dallas rental at a local brewery or parking lot nearby for a unique twist.

4. Visit a Dallas Brewery with Friends

DFW is home to incredible breweries like Deep Ellum Brewing, Community Beer Co., and Peticolas Brewing. These spots frequently host pop-up markets and private events, and adding Hoop Dallas into the mix gives your group or crowd something active to enjoy between tastings.

5. Experience the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden

If you’re looking for something peaceful and scenic, the Arboretum is a must. While Hoop Dallas can’t roll into the gardens themselves, you can easily plan a two-part day: start with a relaxing walk through the grounds, then host a post-visit party at a nearby park or event space with the basketball arcade trailer as the centerpiece.

6. Host a Backyard Movie Night and Party

Why settle for a regular backyard get-together when you can go big? Rent a projector for a movie under the stars, set up lawn games, and bring in Hoop Dallas to keep the energy up before and after the film. It’s a hit for birthdays and summer gatherings alike.

7. Spend the Day at White Rock Lake

White Rock Lake is ideal for picnics, kayaking, and bike rides. If you’re organizing a larger group outing or a company day, Hoop Dallas can park near a rented pavilion to add a competitive, arcade-style element to the event.

8. Hit Up a Local Food Festival

Dallas hosts countless food festivals throughout the year, from BBQ competitions to taco festivals. Vendors and organizers can boost foot traffic and keep guests engaged by adding Hoop Dallas to the mix. Guests can grab a plate, shoot some hoops, and share the experience on social media.

9. Host a Neighborhood Block Party

Bring your neighbors together with music, food, and interactive fun. Hoop Dallas makes it easy by serving as the centerpiece attraction—something that keeps everyone, from kids to adults, involved and entertained.

10. Plan a Charity Event That Draws a Crowd

Whether it’s a 5K, a fundraiser at a local business, or a community gathering, adding Hoop Dallas can increase turnout and make your event stand out. Guests love interactive attractions, and it’s a simple way to build excitement and raise more money.

Why Hoop Dallas Works for Any Dallas Outing

Most group activities in Dallas require traveling to a venue, coordinating schedules, and settling for the same activities everyone has done before. Hoop Dallas flips that model by coming to you, providing a fully immersive, arcade-style basketball experience that works for groups of all sizes and ages.

It’s climate-controlled, weather-proof, and completely hassle-free—we deliver, set up, and break everything down so you can focus on enjoying your event.

Make Your Next Dallas Day Out Memorable

Whether you’re hosting a small gathering, planning a birthday, or organizing a major community event, Hoop Dallas brings the fun directly to you and makes your outing one people will remember long after it’s over.
