If you’re in Dallas-Fort Worth this week and wondering what to do, you are in the right place, so let’s map out a fun, event-packed stretch in DFW.

Dickies Arena describes it as a high-energy Texas country rock show rooted in West Texas storytelling and rowdy guitars, perfect for listeners who want a loud, sing-along Saturday night.

If you’d rather keep things cozy and festive, the Dallas Zoo Lights Presented by Reliant transforms the Dallas Zoo into a glowing winter wonderland every evening this weekend. According to KidsOutAndAbout Dallas, you can stroll past massive light installations, themed displays, and holiday photo spots while grabbing cocoa and snacks as the animals sleep and the lights take over.

For movie lovers, Patch reports that Rooftop Cinema Club in downtown Fort Worth is screening the holiday favorite “Love Actually” at 6:30 p.m. tonight. You can choose classic or “Fireside” seating with chair-side heaters and a warm drink, all under the open sky with the Fort Worth skyline as your backdrop.

Families looking for daytime fun can head to the Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary in McKinney for “Dinosaurs Live,” where life-size animatronic dinos roar along the trails. KidsOutAndAbout notes that it’s a walking exhibit, so you get both prehistoric creatures and real Texas nature in one stop.

When the sun goes down, get your lantern fix in Grand Prairie at the Tianyu Lights Festival: Koda’s Adventure – Magical Ocean at Texas Trust CU Theatre. According to KidsOutAndAbout, it’s a sprawling lantern festival with glowing sea creatures, themed walk-through tunnels, and plenty of photo-ready backdrops that feel like stepping into a storybook.

If you’re in the mood for laughs, Big Laugh Comedy Club in downtown Fort Worth is stacked tonight. The club’s calendar shows early evening improv with After School Special, then Big Laughs: Down & Dirty Comedy Show, followed by Uncensored & Unhinged, billed as Fort Worth’s boldest, rawest stand-up showcase.

The AT&T Performing Arts Center notes that this production runs through December 28, bringing Tchaikovsky’s score, snowflakes, toy soldiers, and the Sugar Plum Fairy to life in one of Texas’s most beautiful theaters.

And if you just want to cruise and look at lights, CultureMap Dallas points listeners toward legendary neighborhood displays like Interlochen Lights in Arlington, where more than 200 homes go all-in on Christmas décor and you can drive slowly through with music on, or Diamond Loch in North Richland Hills, a “Whoville” style cul-de-sac with a computerized show and surprise Grinch appearances.

Headline: Maximize Your DFW Staycation with Dinosaurs, Pickleball, and Comedy Galore
If you’re in Dallas-Fort Worth this week and wondering how to turn these next few days into a mini staycation, you’re in exactly the right place. Let’s walk through some of the most fun ways to spend your time around the Metroplex, from midweek escapes to big weekend nights.

Start in Fort Worth with a mix of science and dinosaurs. The Fort Worth Museum of Science and History is running its regular slate of daytime experiences, and according to the museum’s events calendar, you can grab general admission in the morning, then catch screenings like T. Rex at 1:30 p.m., HFSC: Science of the Season at 2 p.m., Wild Rescue at 2:30 p.m., and Shark Kingdom at 3:30 p.m. It’s an easy win for families, date days, or anyone who wants to feel like a kid again wandering the exhibits and then ducking into the Omni-style theater shows.

If you want to move instead of just look, the City of Fort Worth’s own events calendar lists open play pickleball at the Diamond Hill center, and it’s open to all skill levels. That means you can show up as a total beginner or a die-hard regular, get a good sweat in, and still be part of the same friendly pickup scene. It’s a low-cost, social way to meet people and break up the workweek.

Once the sun goes down, it’s comedy time. Big Laugh Comedy Club in downtown Fort Worth is stacking the week. Their calendar shows Whiskey + Laughs on Wednesday night in the Funky Room, with doors at 6:30 and showtime at 8. It’s built as a classic “best night out” setup: a rotating cast of comics, a two-item minimum, and first-come seating that keeps the energy loose and fast. Later that same night, Wizop Wednesday’s Open Mic kicks in around 9:30 p.m., giving you a chance to either hop on stage or watch local comics try brand-new material in a late-night, anything-can-happen vibe.

As you roll into Thursday, Big Laugh shifts gears into Big Laugh Live, a high-energy showcase at 7:30 p.m. that’s produced like a broadcast taping, followed by a Tequila Thursday Showcase at 9:30 p.m., where the drinks and punchy sets come equally strong. According to the club’s calendar, Friday brings Mikey B and Crux Crawford live at 7:30, plus Cowtown Killers: A Stand-Up Stampede in the Panther Room, packing the night with rising stand-up talent from all over North Texas.

Saturday is a full run: an all-ages After School Special Improv Club at 5 p.m. for something spontaneous and family-friendly, then the Down & Dirty early show and Uncensored & Unhinged late show if you’re looking for edgier stand-up. One of the big marquee nights is Spinderella’s Comedy Jam, blending comedy with classic hip-hop, with the legendary Spinderella on the turntables and comics bringing high-energy sets for what the club promises is more “full vibe” than just show.

If you’re dragging by Sunday, Big Laugh’s Sunday Funday Comedy Jam turns the last night of the weekend into a reset button. Their description sells it as the cure for the Monday scaries, with doors opening late afternoon and a 6 p.m. showtime, plus a lineup of some of Texas’s funniest comics and a laid-back “let’s squeeze a little more fun out of the weekend” feel.

That’s just a slice of what’s happening, but it’s more than enough to fill your week with laughs, learning, and a little movement.
