Any family ideas? Sister is coming....

I%26#39;m new to Dallas and live in Euless. My sister is coming down and I need some ideas for her and I to do. Plus I have a husband and 2 kids who will probably be in tow also at least a little. Any ideas? Please advise. Nothing to expensive but fun. We do love to shop but you can only do that so long.... Thanks.

My ideas are going to be in Ft. Worth, but neither of these areas should be hard to get to from Euless.

The Ft. Worth Zoo might be a though if weather permits. The Stockyards area of Ft. Worth would also be a touristy/fun thing to do.

If she%26#39;s here during a ';first Monday'; weekend, you might consider leaving the little ones at home and heading out to Canton for the day.

Wed is half price day at the Ft Worth Zoo.

I like the Forest Park Train that runs from near the entrance of the zoo into Trinity Park. They make a stop in the park so you can get popcorn and a soda...my kids love doing this. This is not the train in the zoo - which is a rip-off.

Ft Worth Botanical Garden is nice - they have a Japanese Garden that costs a couple of bucks to get into. There are huge ponds of koi and fish food feeders all around (bring quarters!!). You will have to keep a good eye on your kids here - there are railings around some ponds, but it%26#39;s very easy for a kid to fall in if they are not careful.

Galleria Mall is probably going to be a stop for you. They have an indoor play area on the 3rd floor near Sak%26#39;s and Nordstrom. There are plenty of kids food options up there too.

If you want to sit down at the Galleria - the Grand Lux is great and they have wikki sticks for kids to play with so they won%26#39;t get out of hand.
