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.

Final Thoughts: Would I Do Tea Around Town Again?


If you’re:


  • An afternoon tea enthusiast

  • A bougie mom who loves aesthetic experiences

  • A parent looking for something unique to do in Dallas/DFW

  • Someone who values experiences over stuff


Then yes — Tea Around Town Dallas is absolutely worth adding to your list.


It’s cute, memorable, and gave my daughter and I a fall afternoon we’ll always remember.


And honestly? That’s priceless.
