Reunion Tower

This is an iconic tower located in the heart of downtown. You will find tons of commercial parking lots available to park. I recommend exploring parking apps to find some deals on parking. The tower is also conveniently located right next to Union Station. So, taking public transit here would be an option too.This is not a very tall tower. At 561 feet, it is only the 15th tallest building in Dallas. Yes, the 16th tallest tower in the city, not even the state or nation. The tower is the site of the city's annual New Years Eve festivities. That is what brought me here. I decided to go up the tower and check it out as well. The tickets to go up the tower are timed and can be purchased at a kiosk or at the agent next to the kiosk. Once you purchase your ticket, you just get in line when its your time. You then pass through a security sensor and take a green screen souvenir photo. You can retrieve the photos by entering an email address in a kiosk at the top of the tower on the GeO Deck. A few of the photos are free and you can purchase prints of others. I got photos with different backgrounds for free.Once you take the photo, you get in the line que to go to the tower's viewing platform. The line moved relatively quick. I would say it took about 15 to 20 minutes to get on the elevator. After a short elevator ride you are up on the viewing area which is enclosed. It is a somewhat small area and has some snacks for sell and some seating. There is an interactive kiosk there where you can operate a camera on the tower and look at sites around the city. you are free to partake in the 360-degree views of the Dallas cityscape, at your own pace.You can go out to the outer ring which is outdoors and you will find free binoculars to use. Next to the binoculars you will see pictures of landmarks, with names that you can try to locate.Once you are done checking things out up there, visitors can just get in a line to catch the elevator to go back down. Once you are back down on level ground, you exit through........yep, you guessed it, the gift shop which sells light snacks, toys, magnets, shirt and other typical souvenirs. All of the staff that I interacted with at the tower were very friendly and helpful. They made the experience more enjoyable. I liked my visit to the tower. I spent about 30 minutes or so up at the top and I was ready to go though. This is definitely a must visit while in Dallas.

Very good location for a tall building, view of the city is one of a kind. Been here on several occasions always quality. Good vibes y'all!!

Great view of Dallas and JFK tragedy. Visited family for holiday and we worked our way up to enjoy the view. I think it's worth visiting. I love getting a view of where I am from the top. It's a whole other world. They gave a gift shop. Very nice staff. Old tourist attraction so expect it to be dated.

The food, the service, the wine everything was better than expected. I would recommend going back to this place and trying some of their other dishes as well. It's conveniently located and we liked how the manager came to check on us.

This place is great way to see the whole city. I specifically enjoyed how it was way cooler on top than being on the ground. There are plenty of parking spaces nearby and it's $10 last time I went so it wasn't that bad. At least you won't have to drive around.Short walk to the entrance and short line too. Wait time was fast, faster if you buy tickets ahead of time. Ticket comes with free picture per group. Only digital copy is free though but printed copy will cost you.

Highly recommend buying the Dallas CityPass to have the Reunion tower as a part of your plans along with other museums and the zoo as options to finish out your ticket package. Enter through the front entrance of the Hyatt Hotel to enter the Reunion tower. We used a map app that had us walking around the building and unsuccessful at getting in to side doors!Having a pre-set time for our entrance made it hassle free and really limited crowds. We went on a Saturday afternoon in the summer. The weather was clear so you could see for miles. Don't forget to watch the videos they have inside on TV like screens regarding the death of JFK and other highlights of the views around you. You can really get a sense of how expansive the DFW area is when you have the view from the observation deck. You can stay inside (climate controlled) and walk around, or go outside and be able to see around. They only offer vended beverages at the observation deck.

This is a really cool landmark to check out. I was in town on business and a business partners suggested we go check it out. The views are amazing.I will admit, when you're going up 450 feet plus in the elevator it felt kind of intense for a minute, but I'm just afraid of heights so that's just probably unique to me. The views are absolutely amazing! You get a great view of the city. The weather was very nice too. Nice and cool with a bit of wind. I suggest you check this out. Perfect for date night, kids, etc. I'll definitely come back and check this out again. Easy five star experience!

Our first ever trip to Dallas, Texas and we did all the iconic tourist attractions. We purchased the Dallas City Pass, which included the Reunion Tower as one of the options. The Tower is 470 foot high viewing experience with an incredible 360-degree panoramic view of Downtown Dallas. The entrance to the tower is located inside the Omni Hotel. They will take your picture before you take the elevator ride to the top. The elevator ride was cool because there is a glass window that you can look out as you make your way to the top. One in the observation deck, there is a small gift shop that has some light snacks. There is an indoor seating area that has a panel that will show you videos of the history of Dallas. But the best part is walking along the outside and checking out the views. One of the most unique views you will see here is the birds eye view of Elm Street, where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. There are free telescopes throughout the outdoor viewing area for you to use. When we went, it was raining. But the views were still beautiful.Tickets range from $19 to $40 depending on when you go. Your admission includes the souvenir digital photo you take at the start of your adventure. They also require you to make reservations for a specific day and time. I had to change my reservation at the last minute and there was no issues, but again, I went on a rainy day when the crowd was probably lighter than usual. Parking was a challenge. There was some kind of convention going on in the normal parking lot, and the alternative was to park in their secondary lot, which is a far walk....especially in the rain. So given the situation, I opted for the hotel Valet parking, which was $20 vs. the self park $10.Overall, the views are nice. The admission price is a stretch, especially for a big family. I'm glad it was part of our City Pass.

My partner's reaction said it best. Very upscale and beautiful place to be with very attentive and welcoming staff. We celebrated a milestone there and will likely go back for other milestones. Portion size of the food was a little smaller than I had anticipated but still tasty. I wish the restaurant still rotated and that parking garage was easier to secure.

Underwhelming compared to NYC or Chicago, but this was a reasonably priced experience that didn't have a ton of crowds. It isn't anything fancy, as it's tucked away inside a hotel. But you can get in quickly and see pretty much all of Dallas. If you go at sunset, as I did, you get some great views of the dusky red sun reflecting off the skyscrapers. It was also quite a sight to see the sun setting in the background, behind the winding overpasses and highways, like an art piece made of spaghetti and concrete. Definitely recommend the later evening, you won't regret it.
