For the fourth year, Dallas teens can enjoy free entry to popular city attractions in July with the Teen All Access Pass program. The pass allows one teen and three companions to access select museums, gardens, entertainment venues, and leisure facilities in Dallas at no cost.
Mayor Eric L. Johnson expressed enthusiasm for the initiative, stating, "I’m thrilled that our Park and Recreation Department is once again offering the Teen All Access Pass, which has proven year after year to be one of Dallas’ most popular summer initiatives."
The Dallas Park and Recreation Department is offering 10,000 passes on a first-come, first-served basis to Dallas residents aged 13-17. Teens must register in person at a Dallas recreation center during business hours and provide proof of residency. More information about the passes, including details and locations, can be found at DallasParks.org.
Arun Agarwal, president of the Dallas Park and Recreation Board, highlighted the importance of providing quality leisure and recreational programs, stating, "With help from many of our generous partner organizations, Dallas is giving young people a one-of-a-kind opportunity to enjoy unforgettable experiences and spend time this summer discovering new things to learn and do in the city."
The Teen All Access Pass program began in 2021, with 7,066 passes issued that year, resulting in 14,279 free admissions.
