What People Say

David Bush and Jim Parsons
Authors, Fair Park Deco
"Fair Park is one of the finest collections of Deco architecture in the country, but it is so much more: the embodiment of Texan swagger, it is a testament to the Texanic task of creating a dazzling spectacle in the darkest days of the Depression."
Texas State Historical Association
The authority on Texas history since 1897
"Fair Park houses one of the greatest concentrations of early twentieth-century Art Deco exposition buildings in the United States."
American Planning Association
Great Places in America
"For more than a century the park, two miles east of downtown Dallas, has been delighting millions of visitors. Attractions on its 277 acres include eight museums, six performance facilities, and a major sports stadium."
National Geographic Traveler

"Fair Park is much more than an assemblage of buildings; it’s a district telling dozens of stories from dozens of cultures."
