Just committed to a trip to Dallas at the end of the summer. Going with a small group, not gun folks, though. What is there to do in the area? Eating BBQ and steak, is already on the agenda.
What to do in the big D?

Check to see if anything is going on at AT&T stadium while you are there. They have a number of events there besides football games. I went to Supercross there last weekend, next weekend is a PBR event. Incredible venue for all kinds of things.
Not been there but i think i would look for some beef bbq places.

The zoo is good, as is the one in Ft. Worth. Both also have good natural history museums.
Check out the Dallas Arts District, a whole bunch of museums and performance venues, all conveniently located in one spot in downtown. Here is the website: Home | Dallas Arts District
Or, you could do what a lot of Dallasites do during the summer: Go to Colorado.

Read "The Third Bullet" by Stephen Hunter, then go visit the museum at the Texas Book Depository and the DalTex building. Walk the route along Main and Oak streets and get a feeling of that fateful day of 22 November 1963.
You can even take a tour for 25 bucks. It will be very hot still so you may want to plan indoor activities
For a gun shop that is more like a collectors gun room check out Jackson Armory......but honestly, Dallas in the summer even in October can be brutal with 100 degree heat.......you will come to better appreciate air conditioning.

There was a little Mexican restaurant called Mia's that was the best I have ever experienced, I use to see Jerry Jones there on occasion.

Well, Six Flags is not that far from Dallas.
OP
Actually, I will be going to the UF vs UM football game. So I will get to see the stadium.
