One Of The World’s Best Bridge Observatories Is Right Here In Texas And It’s Bucket List Worthy

The Texas Skywalk in Dallas Arboretum offers a unique treetop adventure with interactive exhibits for all ages.

There are lots of bridges in Texas. There are pedestrian bridges in Texas; there are swinging bridges in Texas; there are even haunted bridges in Texas. So, as you can see, no two bridges in Texas are created equal, and that certainly applies to the Texas Skywalk. One of the most unique things to do in Texas, it differs from all the bridges in the state - not only due to its location in our state’s busiest arboretum but also because it takes visitors high into the treetops. Keep reading to learn more about this high-in-the-sky adventure.

Although the garden was designed for children, adults enjoy it all the same. Interactive exhibits amid a lush, breathtaking landscape provide an immersive and educational experience for nature lovers of all ages.

That distant circular structure is the Texas Skywalk. Many visitors like to make it a grand finale of sorts, letting anticipation build as they meander through the garden.

Approaching the bridge, you'll traverse a twisting and turning trail of vibrant greenery. Little ones will have an absolute blast trying to name all the different varieties of plant life.

Spanning 240 feet, the bridge cuts right through the treetops. Look around and see if there are any critters hiding in the forest canopy!

You'll find the arboretum at 8525 Garland Road, Dallas, TX 75218. For more information, or to purchase tickets for the children's garden, check out the Dallas Arboretum website.
