It’s always a good time to talk STEM but have you “walked STEM”? 😏 We’ve teamed up with @talkingstem to highlight a series of videos that they created on #FairPark for their Family Explorers program. We invite you and your family to come out to Fair Park (open daily from 6a-9p) to walk, listen and learn more about one of Dallas’s historical gems. Check below for more information, and click the link in our bio for the video playlist. #FairParkYourPark #Repost @talkingstem: 🍂 Have you checked out our Family Explorers program yet? 🚶‍♀️ It's almost the weekend and time to get the family, especially the kids away from those screens! Our newest program is designed to take you outside and spark your children's natural curiosity in more ways than one.

The Texas Vietnam Veterans Memorial at Fair Park pays honor to those Texans who served the United States in the Vietnam War. Dedicated by former President George H. W. Bush in 1989, the Memorial features five tablets of Texas granite bearing the names of 3,271 Texans killed in action during the war in Vietnam, and 156 missing in action. A soothing waterfall flows alongside the memorial, which is familiarly known simply as, "The Wall.” On this #VeteransDay, we thank them and all the veterans who have served our country! 🙏 🇺🇸

‼️UPDATE‼️ Howdy! 🤠 Now that Big Tex is back up at Fair Park, we have updates to share about park hours and public access during this time. As you may have heard, the State Fair of Texas is hosting several alternative events this year at Fair Park. During these events, and similar to when the State Fair of Texas occurs during normal years, the park will be closed to non-ticketed guests. However, we know there are Fair Park and other DFW neighbors who enjoy using Fair Park for walks, exercise, bike rides, walking pets, visiting museums and facilities, etc. To safely accommodate our guests between now and October 18, the public may visit the park by entering at Gate 5 from 6 a.m. until 7 p.m. on non-State Fair event operating days. For a full update on our gates and operating hours, please visit the link in our bio. We appreciate your understanding and patience during this time.
