    The Dallas Chamber Orchestra.
    Yitzhak O.

    I enjoyed the performance of Vivaldi's Four Seasons and a comfortable venue with good lighting. There didn't seem to be a lot of signage that tells where everything is located. The self parking was a $1 less than what I expected according to their emails. Nice surprise.

    Angel Blue performance with good friend.

    January 26th, 2020 was my first and only visit to the Moody Hall thus far. American Soprano Angel Blue was performing on a quiet Sunday afternoon in the Dallas Arts District. Getting to this area is quite easy off the freeway, but parking is limited to paid garage parking only and little to no street parking. Rideshare or getting a friend to drop you off in front of this concrete grey modern building, is your easiest transportation option. A good friend from Seattle whom is a Dallas Art season ticket holder and supporter of all things cultural, was treating us to a show. Her hotel provided shuttle service from her property location to Moody Hall. We tipped him a few bucks and went on our way. Which worked out really well. Once inside we picked up our Angel Blue program's and walked around a bit. We had a few minutes before the performance started. And since it was my first visit there, I wanted to take a few photos. It's an intimate venue, with roughly 750 seats and three seating tiers. During our 2pm visit, it was not yet dark enough for lights to be on, inside or out. The romantic in me loves a well light room, full of muted tones and hues. But with their floor to ceiling, two panel stained glass installation. With colors of Van Gogh rich yellow's, lapis blue's, and soft Chrysanthemum white's, popped with January winter daytime light filtering through their foyer. It's was a special beginning to a very entertaining afternoon. As we found our way to our upper left 2nd tier raised stage seats, we realized our seats were not next to each other. A very kind guest changed seats so I could be closer to the stage and sit next to my out of town friend. Nice people really do exist. Of course I offered to buy the thoughtful lady a drink from the concession, but she declined. Once the stage lights dimmed, my ears and eyes were in for a royal treat. Ms. Angel Blue has a voice that any heavenly angel would envy. She sang several arias, and other works that blew my mind. Angel had a Russian vocal coach, and learned the language and sang a Russian ballad this particular performance. Now that is talent folks!! Incredible. Amazing. Bravo indeedy!! I would highly recommend a trip down to this performing hall when you can. During our intermission, we walked back to the foyer to stretch our legs. People of all ages were enjoying this show, which is fabulous. My favorite talk, was with a dad & young son. They were spending quality time together taking in a fine performance. Indeed. We must plant seeds of culture to kids, how else with they grow up to appreciate the finer things in life.

    DALLAS CITY PERFORMANCE HALL : Clean modern architecture.
    Siobhan F.

    I've attended various types of performances here: musical, TED Talk SMU, and choral; all have been presented with excellent sound in this modern setting. Whether on the main floor or in the balconies, there is not a bad seat in this house! At the TED Talks, the very large bi-level open lobby provided ample space for food service and 'breakout' activities; although it can get rather loud, as to be expected with a high ceiling space. This performance hall is a great medium sized venue for the Dallas Arts District!

We have a two year old and we basically had to drag him out he wanted to stay there all day. There is soft play area where there's no shoes where the very little ones can crawl around and play with big pillows and soft sticks. There's a big yarn thing to climb on. There's a big water area for them to play with pipes and running water. There's a few big tables and pits with hundreds of legos, a book corner, and a big floor to ceiling interactive screen room which was amazing. There's also an outside area with rock walls and climbing areas. You can park your stroller at the start where there are bathrooms and hand washing area as well as a place to fill your water bottles. The museum itself was really nice with multiple floors of interesting topics from dinosaurs to space to an earthquake simulator. I think for those floors it's best to be 3-4 or older. Everything is still very stroller accessible!

Dinosaurs for the kids and man with culture and gems for the ladies. My favorite is definitely the gem collection- probably the most impressive gallery on display to any museum. I love how many unique pieces and how remarkable they are. The facility is modern with multiple floors dedicated to different categories from space/science, archeology, meteorology etc. For parking , street or private- both convenient.

The Dallas Art Museum is free for most of the museum, with special exhibits costing extra, but honestly there is plenty to see without spending a dime.

A perfect spot to get a little culture in between meals. Honestly, a must hit for out of town visitors looking for something fun to do that does not involve eating. Be sure to hit the gift store too, a museum gift shop is usually well curated, and this one is no exception! (though I will say the lady working the store had a sh:tty attitude)

The DMA has a supporter membership for $120. It includes parking which would cost you $20 otherwise. You also get two free admission tickets that you can use to view the museum's collections or any special exhibitions each and every day of the year. The membership will also provide a discount at the museum store and in the snack bar. Visit twice during the year, and the membership more than pays for itself. You can buy your membership online, print the receipt, and show it for free parking. Once inside the venue, show the receipt at the check-in desk to get your free tickets to the special exhibit(s). Your DMA cards will be mailed to you in four weeks, in the mean time, use that printed receipt for everything. We renewed our membership this weekend April 2026 and went to see the Samurai Collection. Metalwork is not a favorite of mine, but I was still fascinated by the stories presented on the placards throughout the exhibit and I certainly appreciated the beautiful, intricate craftsmanship presented in each piece. I didn't realize that the Samurai swords and armor had been banned from production in Japan, so the metal workers pivoted and learned to become artisans. They started to make and repair metal embellishments, lanterns, and incense burners for the numerous temples in the country. Many of the items in this collection were from Kyoto and Nara, both places my husband and I visited in November 2009. The full body armor was fascinating. Little pieces of leather were coated in metal, painted, and woven tightly together to form a moveable, but protective layer over the body. The workmanship was exquisite. The exhibit had a few short videos you could watch to learn about the work. I especially liked the 30 second clip about the process of making cloisonné. These vases are beautiful and the process to make each one is detailed and meticulous. Kids could collect a postcard-sized scavenger hunt near the entrance and use that to stay in engaged throughout the visit. At the end, there was a sign on the wall with the answer key pictures showing which art pieces help the intricate designs they were looking for. The DMA has a permanent collection that includes a variety of art from around the globe, as well as multiple special exhibits throughout the year. Everyone is bound to find something that delights them and inspires conversation and wonder. Worth a visit!

    This was a fun little event that i found out about on Instagram. I think my favorite thing about…read morethis is that it was not overly crowded. I think they could have easily sold more tickets and packed people in but it would not have been enjoyable. I also liked that the price was super reasonable! Tickets were $25 each with free entry for kids. Entry comes with a free drink- alcoholic or not, stickers, and tattoos. They also gave a card with food/drink discounts to downtown restaurants and bars that can be used throughout the month of April. I will say they did a lot with a pretty small space. The fake flowers were actually beautiful. There were a few qr codes around for an interactive experience but i didnt really get it. I loved the swings and the bubble machines. Very cute. There were a couple benches and chairs throughout to sit in/take photos but they were pretty flimsy. Please get some sturdier stuff out there next time. I wish they had more food options. They had adult lunchables that were around $12 and not great. My cheese was suspect. I ate it bc i was hungry and there wasnt really other real food. Like they had popcorn and kale chips. Some kind of random snack things. The drinks were very sweet- alcoholic and nonalcoholic. The drinks were served very cute in the bottle and bag. There were others in normal cups as well. This place didnt have bathrooms, but you can access some across the street at the joule hotel. I wasnt sure if you could get back in after leaving, so make sure you use the bathroom first. Event ran 4/5-4/14 with a couple different entry options- we went to golden hour. It is sold out for this year. I want to add that originally i had tickets for Tuesday afternoon but they cancelled due to the forecasted weather and issued refunds immediately. For some reason my explanation email went to spam and the refund email went to my inbox. When i emailed them to see what was going on they were quick to respond and explain as well as to tell me to check my spam. For the original email- which i did and found it. They also opened some extra dates so we could still enjoy the experience. I thought this was excellent service. Overall i will say it was worth the $25 and was a fun experience- lots of photo ops but its definitely something i would do once and probably not again. Cool art installation

    Interesting exhibit. It was a shame that you could not go into the park area for a closet look.read more

They began by learning about the seven elements of art in a clear and age appropriate way. After that, they created their own clay sculptures, which allowed them to apply what they had learned in a hands on and meaningful way. The highlight was when a docent guided the students through the galleries and taught them about different art pieces. The explanations were thoughtful, interactive, and kept the students genuinely interested. Our class left inspired, excited, and talking about art long after we left.
