Day 1
Start the morning or early afternoon with a relaxing group spa treatment at Vis a Vis Day Spa in Uptown Dallas. It's the perfect way to start a weekend full of fun, especially if your group traveled into town the previous night. Your private bus driver can shuttle everyone around town to and from each location. After hitting the spa for a group spa party, head over to the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden. The arboretum hosts events nearly every day of the week, ranging from food and tea tastings (yes, champagne is also an option) to concerts. Even if your group doesn’t necessarily want to participate in an event, touring the arboretum and the gardens is still a great group experience.
Once everyone is done at the botanical garden, hop back on your charter bus to visit the Dallas Museum of Art. The museum has an extensive collection of works, meaning there’s something for everyone to enjoy. If your group isn’t too keen on museum visits, take a walk over to Klyde Warren Park across the street. Make a reservation at Fearing’s for famous dinner and cocktails before enjoying a night of dancing at The Nines. With a built-in designated driver in your own charter bus, your group can enjoy Fearing’s Rattlesnake Bar and The Nines to the fullest.
