Itinerary

Starting at Akard Plaza on Marilla Street, by City Hall, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and head into downtown Dallas. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city. Pioneer Plaza stampedes into view first: forty-nine bronze longhorns and three cowboys frozen mid-drive, the largest bronze monument of its kind. Riddles ride alongside. The Old Red Courthouse follows, its red sandstone turrets watching over the city since 1892. Trivia climbs the clock tower in spirit. Then Dealey Plaza asks for quieter attention — the birthplace of Dallas and the site the world remembers from November 1963. Around two hours through glass towers and granite history. The leaderboard settles the score, Texas-style.
