Dallas is the third largest city in Texas, yet is the center of the state's largest metropolitan area, having contributed significantly to the petroleum, telecommunications and computer technology industries. It’s also a popular destination for conventions. Because of all this, it has a reputation as being "less Texan" than Houston or San Antonio. If you want to see a cowboy hat, you may have to venture into a honky-tonk. Fort Worth is 30 miles away and a much better bet for "cowboy culture."

In September and October, the State Fair is held at Dallas, vying with its Iowa counterpart for the title of the country's largest state fair. There are a large variety of wonderful golf courses in the Dallas area, and the city boasts five municipal courses. Other attractions include the Dallas Museum of Art, Dallas Mavericks (NBA) and Cowboys (NFL), and the Dallas World Aquarium. More than just an aquarium, the zoo tour starts at the canopy level of a rain forest. Visitors wind their way down past many types of animals to find the aquarium at the bottom.
