AT&T Stadium (home of the Dallas Cowboys)

During the tour, you’ll visit a private suite, press box, the field, the post-game interview room and both the Cowboys locker room and the Cheerleaders locker room.
Perot Museum of Nature and Science
Five floors house 11 permanent exhibit halls containing state-of-the-art video and 3D computer animation with thrilling, life-like simulations where visitors can exercise their brains through hands-on activities, interactive kiosks and educational games. The extraordinary building and outdoor space serves as a living science lesson, offering provocative illustrations of engineering, technology and conservation. The tour will be led by the museum’s CIO.

With its state-of-the-art interactive exhibits, the Presidential Library and Museum will give you an in-depth look at 8 years of American history, the American Presidency, and important issues of public policy. The Museum features the Decision Points Theater, Sept. 11 Display, a full-size replica of the White House Oval Office, and a 20-foot-tall, 360-degree, video wall with a montage of the 44 U.S. Presidents.
