Are you a new mom to Dallas? Want to meet new friends? Do you want to discover what some of our favorite playspaces have to offer?
Then you won’t want to miss this!
Dallas Moms Blog has partnered with some of our favorite Dallas metroplex playspaces for a summer of DMB playdates!
Join us as we venture to a new location every other week for an introduction to some of the great family-friendly businesses that Dallas has to offer and a unique way to build up your list of indoor activities before the heat of summer approaches.
We’re heading north and popping in to Play Street Museum – McKinney, heading south to Gymboree Play & Music of Dallas (Preston/Forest Shopping Center), over to Texas Discovery Gardens in Fair Park, back up to Richardson for some scary fun at Monster Yogurt…and are keeping a few surprises up our sleeves for two additional playdates in July & August.
With each stop along the way, you’ll receive private access to the venue, special offers and opportunities from each business, chances to win great prizes, meet new families, and experience all the fun and magic each has to offer! As an added bonus, we’ve partnered with Lilly & Bella – a local, mom-owned business that provides fresh, organic produce and handcrafted recipes, delivered to your right to your doorstep to help you make baby food simple. Lilly & Bella will be present at each play date to answer any questions about how their service can make your life easier.
You can purchase your tickets below for each event, or keep up-to-date with Dallas Moms Blog to discover what each stop will highlight as the event gets closer. However, be warned! Due to the size of the venues and availability of their schedules, each playdate has a very limited number of spots. We urge you to grab your tickets while you can!

Each month, the GeO-Deck at Reunion Tower hosts some fun events for children under the age of 10. Their weekday activities including up-close animal encounters with the Dallas Zoo and Tall Tales story time led by the Dallas Public Library, and after wards they invite you to stay to enjoy casual dining options at the revolving Cloud Nine Café.
