If you’re a parent in the Dallas / Fort Worth area looking for something different to do with your kid — something that’s equal parts cute, calm, and memory-making — let me introduce you to Tea Around Town Dallas.

My daughter and I hopped on the iconic pink double-decker tea bus, and honestly? It was one of those experiences that feels extra in the best way!

Think: afternoon tea, city views, pastries, and quality time — without needing to chase your kid around a loud venue. A total mom win.

What Is Tea Around Town Dallas?

Tea Around Town Dallas is a 90-minute mobile afternoon tea experience that takes place on a beautifully decorated double-decker bus that cruises through downtown Dallas.

You sip tea, snack on sweet and savory bites, and enjoy views of iconic landmarks like:

The Dallas Arts District
Reunion Tower
Downtown Dallas skyline

All while sitting comfortably at a table — yes, actual seating, not balancing snacks on your lap like a theme park ride.

How Much Does Tea Around Town Cost?

Let’s talk cheddah', because parents need transparency.

Ticket prices typically range from $69–$85 per person, depending on the date and package you choose.

What’s included:

A curated afternoon tea service
Multiple tea tastings
Pastries, scones, and light savory bites
A guided city tour experience
A keepsake Tumbler
Cozy seating and air-conditioning (underrated but important)

Is it cheap? No.

Is it worth it if you love afternoon tea, aesthetic experiences, something memorable to do with friends/family or intentional one-on-one time with your child? Absolutely.

What the Experience Is Actually Like

Here’s what you can expect when you board:

You’re welcomed onto a beautifully styled tea bus (very social media-friendly)

Tea is served while the bus begins its scenic route

You enjoy snacks and tea at your own pace (they do provide to-go boxes)

The city rolls by outside your window — no walking, no rushing

Friendly tour guide(s) who narrate and provide light entertainment which adds to the vibe. Our tour guide sung beautifully to a few tracks and my daughter loved it.

It’s calm, charming, and feels like a mini escape — which is exactly what busy parents need sometimes.

Why This Was Perfect as a Mom-Daughter Date

This experience stood out because...

It’s relaxed — no overstimulation or crowds
It feels grown-up, but kids can still enjoy it
It creates real memories, not just photos
You’re sitting together, talking, laughing, and sipping tea

And yes, my daughter loved feeling fancy.

And yes, I loved not having to entertain her every second.

Balance.

Is Tea Around Town Kid-Friendly?

Yes — especially for kids who:

Can sit for a bit
Enjoy snacks and treats
Like sightseeing and unique experiences

It’s best for pre-elementary aged kids and up (Naiya-Shenell is 4), but every child is different. There is a bathroom on the bus, which is a huge parent bonus.

Honest Mom Notes (Because We Keep It Real)

This isn’t meant to be a deep history lesson or luxury Michelin experience — it’s more about the vibe, the views, and the quality time. Go in with that mindset, and you’ll enjoy it much more.
