Best Weekend Activities For Seniors In DFW

Fort Worth Cultural District is packed full of culture and class, including six museums and plenty of greenery to enjoy. This area includes the Amon Carter Museum, Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Cattle Raisers Museum, Kimbell Art Museum, National Cowgirl Hall of Fame and the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History.

Every Saturday at 2 p.m., the Dallas Museum of Art hosts Saturday Spotlight Tours. Free and open to the public, the tours depart from the service desk and lead participants through the museum's multi-level collections, focusing on their most famous and buzz-worthy works of art. Wheelchair accessibility is a plus with this free weekend entertainment option.

Weekends are made for exploring. For seniors, or anyone for that matter, the M-Line Trolley is an ideal way to meander through Uptown. With plentiful stops, there is little need to walk long distances. The M-Line Trolley runs seven days a week and makes a loop in and around Uptown. All employees of the M-Line are volunteers who feel a personal connection to the history and importance of the trolley. Many have fascinating stories to tell. From CityPlace down around McKinney Avenue, Uptown is accessible to anyone. This is the best option for multi-stop days of shopping, lunching or just browsing the area. One of the best parts of this ride is that it is completely free.

The Dallas ArtWalk is one of the largest attractions in the city, which covers about three miles of urban sprawl. Seniors have no obligation to see all of this on foot. Why not try something new like a pedicab ride? Let someone else do the pedal pushing, while you sit back, relax and take in the joys of this great city. On an Arts District Pedicab ride you will wheel past the biggest area attractions like the Winspear Opera House, The Dallas Museum of Art, the Nasher Sculpture Center, the Perot Museum, One Arts Plaza and Klyde Warren Park. This can be a guided tour, or just a refreshing whip around the city. Change up the itinerary by trying something new at the food trucks at Klyde Warren Park to polish off your adventurous day behind a pedicab operator's wheels.

The Dallas Arboretum provides endless loveliness, not to mention plenty of walking and sitting space to admire nature at its most glorious. Bring some snacks for a picnic in the grass, filling your lungs with fresh air and the unforgettable scent of a gallery of flowers. Take your time and admire the views, while perusing through the Boswell Family Garden, the McCasland Sunken Garden, A Woman's Garden and more. With luck, the entire day can be spent in beauty recognized nationwide at the Dallas Arboretum any time of year.
