Dallas's prettiest mall is also a free modern art museum: large sculptures fill the corridors, ducks and turtles live in the pond of the CenterPark garden in the middle, and Bookmarks is a Dallas Public Library children's branch built right into the mall, with story times.
💡 Tips
Bookmarks is on the first floor on the Nordstrom side; check the Dallas Public Library calendar for story times. Parking takes some circling at weekend midday, so arrive at the 10am opening. In summer it's the most comfortable free indoor outing in North Dallas.What this place offers
