DFW attractions

Fellas,

Im heading to the DFW area next thursday for the nascar weekend, I won't be headed to the track until friday afternoon, I'm looking for suggestions on things to see and do.

I'm gonna hit the stockyards on thursday, but aside from that, I haven't really got any ideas.

Please Post up your suggestions.

Thanks

JFK Memorial and the Book Depository Building.

The Reunion Tower is closed for renovations, but typically a decent tourist attraction.

Your wife would probably enjoy a trip to Northpark or Galleria Malls

Stockyards is a must and Billy Bobs is great for a night out
