Most people usually just stick to their favorite restaurants, parks, and shops, however, there are lots of hidden spots around the city that you may not have noticed before.
Here are five hidden gems in Dallas that you have to visit:
Street Art at The Hill

The 30-Foot Giant Eyeball
If you're looking for something a little out of the box, check out the giant eyeball structure just outside of The Joule Hotel. The art piece was created by Tony Tasset in 2007, but was brought to its permanent Texas home in 2013. This thing is massive and is the height of three African Bush Elephants!
