Where a card says no price or no hours listed, the venue does not publish it. We would rather leave the gap than fill it with a guess. Prices come from each venue's own website, and we publish one only when the figure appears on the page we took it from. Tell us if we are missing one you know.

Before you go

Quick answers for busy parents.

Expect a lot of walkingPaths are often uneven, cobbled or unpaved. A stroller is not always practical.
Check the seasonMany historic sites close or cut their hours outside summer, and some open only at weekends.
Tour or self-guidedA guided tour has set times and a length that suits older children. Self-guided lets you leave when you need to.
Shade and waterGrounds and ruins rarely have much of either.

Common questions about historic sites in Dallas

How many historic sites are there in Dallas?

We list 3 historic sites within 65 miles of Dallas, TX. Every one is a published listing with an address we checked.

How did Mini Navigators choose these historic sites?

We list every one we have within 65 miles of the center of Dallas. Each is a published place with an address we geocoded and checked, and the business can claim its listing to keep the hours and prices current.

Do adults have to pay?

It varies more than you would expect, from free to full price, and it changes the cost of a visit by a lot when there are two of you. The price on each card is what it costs to get a child in. None of the places on this page publish a price, so call ahead before you rely on a figure from anywhere else.

Do I need to book ahead?

Grounds are often walk-in, but guided tours and house interiors sell out and some sites close in winter. Where a venue publishes a booking page, the listing links straight to it.

What should I bring?

Comfortable shoes, water and a layer for the weather. Much of a visit is outdoors and on uneven ground. Whatever else you need is in the notes beside the listings above.

What else is there to do with kids in Dallas?

Dallas has 22 categories of kid-friendly places on Mini Navigators, from playgrounds and museums to splash pads and zoos. The Dallas hub lists all of them.

Listings last checked October 5, 2026.
