Wyndham Garden Dallas Park Central, Dallas

Advantages: Very exciting, rich and entertaining city
Disadvantages: Can get expensive

...visitors make the sombre trip to the museum, which is housed in the former Texas School Book Depository. The exhibits explain minute by minute in huge detail the exact events of the 22nd November 1963. The most fascinating part is the corner window overlooking Dealey Plaza, the grassy knoll and the triple underpass. There is also a Conspiracy Museum. Depending on your own views of the assassination this still tells you some things you never knew, and makes you think twice. South Fork ranch is another essential. Any lover of the TV show Dallas has to visit the setting where the whole series was filmed. You can even see the prop gun that was used to shoot JR!! The cultural district is another interesting place for visitors. There are a number of museums, and other attractions. Fair Park is a great place to see also. If you come... Read review

Advantages: Beautiful. Large. Filled with things to do.
Disadvantages: Uhmn...I used to live there.

...If you want to see a metroplex that is rich in culture, with many different attractions and entertainment venues, then Dallas/Ft. Worth is the place to go! Now, I used to live in the heart of Dallas, and was therefore very close to the action. However, for the past decade or so I've lived outside of the big city - I moved an hour south of Dallas/Ft. Worth in order to enjoy the peaceful life of a town boasting a whopping 500 citizens. With that out of the way, let me go into a few details to explain why DFW is one of my favorite places to visit. *Amusement Parks.

Advantages: An oasis in the city
Disadvantages: None that I know

...I have lived in Peterborough for 37 years, and the Central Park has always been the place to take your children, photos of the park go back to Victorian times and the actual layout has not changed since then. For one it cannot get any bigger as it is in the older central part of the city with buildings all around, though this does not distract from the Park itself. The Park is one large circle with a very wide road around the outside. There are four gates, entry points to the Park and about ten yards in an inner footpath that goes around the Park. The four gates all have footpaths that lead to the centre which is a large flower bed that has a willow tree, this my husband tells me was planted some time in the 60's as there used to be a band stand on the same spot. It seems that the demise of the band caused the band stand... Read review
