Reunion Tower
Ideal: Ideal for views, photography, couples, a quick city break, and first-time Dallas visitors.
The 171-meter tower opened in 1978 and locals nicknamed it the ball or lollipop for the geodesic sphere on top. Two hundred fifty-nine programmable LED units wrap the sphere and can show animation, flags, or messages through the night — the most recognizable element on the skyline. The GeO-Deck at 143 meters offers an open-air terrace and telescopes for 360-degree Dallas views, with a slowly rotating restaurant just above.
