Located in the heart of downtown Dallas, the GeO-Deck at Reunion Tower offers visitors the only indoor/outdoor observation deck in the city with unique views of Dallas and its surrounding communities – from 470 feet in the air! As it is affectionately known by locals, “The Ball” has been a staple of the Dallas skyline since 1978. The 259 exterior LED lights that build its iconic spherical shape can be seen for miles, but it’s what’s inside that counts.

Our team can offer ideas based on our custom curriculum designed for all age groups. Generate excitement by studying the Dallas landscape, create pre- and post-visit activities, and enhance concepts like physics, geometry, and meteorology at 470 feet above Dallas.
Take advantage of unique opportunities
Our interactive exhibits allow guests an opportunity to locate hidden gems, historic landmarks, museums and more. Free telescopes make it possible to distinguish The Texas Star from The Top of Texas and allow us to almost make out the tip of a giraffe’s nose on a well-known fixture at the Dallas Zoo.
Ask the experts
Reunion Tower Ambassadors will delight you with facts designed to enhance panoramic Dallas views. If you need more information, consult our Halo system to retrieve maps of Dallas landmarks, explore the city in detail with user-controlled high definition cameras, or interact with a simulation of Reunion Tower’s nightly exterior light shows.
Stick to a schedule
Organize your day with breaks for the restroom, meals, and photo opportunities in mind. Your Reunion Tower visit includes a digital photo and the option to eat on the revolving Cloud Nine level.
Plan for Texas weather
Prepare to trade cowboy boots for flip flops! Let the breeze cool you down on a sunny day, or shelter from the chill while taking in the 360-degree view of Dallas.
Make parking arrangements in advance
Confirm that the parking lot can accommodate your vehicle type and if cash or credit is required for payment. Identify the best place to drop-off and pick-up group members. Reunion Tower has onsite personal vehicle and bus parking and is ready to direct your group to our convenient drop-off locations.
Grab some change
All trips need a keepsake! Use your coins to press a penny or stop by Kaleidoscope Gifts & Memories for a local treat or souvenir.
