AT&T Discovery District

AT&T Discovery District is one of my go-to destinations when visiting Dallas, Texas. It is an urbanized square plaza highlighted in downtown by artwork, greenery, entertainment, and technology. There are restaurants, bars, and even a food court located within the district. Live entertainment is showcased here with outdoor events and activities. They do movie screenings on the lawn. It is a safe place for families to enjoy or for spending a day or night out on the town. The AT&T Discovery District is well-kept and is a must-see for all.

This place is beautiful. Walking between big buildings and suddenly you see this place is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. It's a place were you can stay a while, play with the little games there (throw the sacks and 4 points) and you can sit there to hace a lunch too. It's very relaxing been there. The big screen is hypnotizing and also you can hear music from it, very chill music. Great to be there. You should go and visit that place in Dallas Downtown.

This venue offers an exceptional afternoon experience, featuring live music, an inviting atmosphere, and a welcoming community. It boasts a diverse selection of dining establishments and a variety of beverages, providing an enjoyable and memorable experience.

Enjoy sophisticated and interactive art installations in this urban park in the center of the city. Clean and vibrant atmosphere complete with 'green space' made of artificial turf and tons of seating, this is the perfect place to sit back and discover. Grab a bite from one of the many nearby restaurants and cafes like the Exchange Food Hall or the City Hall Bistro for lunch or a picnic with friends and take in the sights of the massive media wall showcasing over 9000 square feet of live murals, events and sports matches from around the world. There is a great view of the historic Adolphus Hotel across the street and 5G connectivity is definitely a bonus.

This place was a nice place to hang out with family or friends. It has some very relaxing places to just sit and relax. Nice spot right in the city.

I love coming to this place to have a lunch whenever I’m working downtown! They have a cafeteria with all kinds of food! And it’s multilevel two with couches in a lounge upstairs. It also has a full bar! I’ve tried most of the places in there, but my favorite is the Japanese food place, the Indian food place, and they used to have a Ramen place, but I think they’re remodeling. They also have some barbecue! And Pizza! Matter of fact, they pretty much have everything. They also have movie nights and events on the lawn! The Security is there and they are pretty strict so make sure that you’re nit messing around.

It's a beautiful place to visit in the middle of Dallas. It's a very family-friendly place but also has adult places to visit. I saw attractions for children and adults alike. I was just there dining and people watching.

The AT&T Discovery District is a dynamic, innovative space in the heart of downtown Dallas. This 20-acre development features cutting-edge technology, interactive exhibits, green spaces, and a range of dining and retail options. The district is designed to foster creativity and engagement, with impressive features like digital displays, an outdoor amphitheater, and a large interactive video wall. It's a vibrant spot for both locals and visitors, offering a mix of modern technology, art, and entertainment in a welcoming environment. Whether you’re exploring the tech displays or enjoying a meal, the AT&T Discovery District is a unique and exciting place to visit in Dallas.

This is area is super cute to visit. They had this cool vday display up. Lots of eating areas as well. So much security that I never felt unsafe in downtown

The only discovery made here was that AT&T Discovery District is definitely not worthy of these raving reviews because let's be real here what even is the appeal? No, really someone please explain it to me because I saw a few TikTok's recommending this place. Well anyway, for those of us apparently not in the "know" of this gem I hope you like AstroTurf and patio furniture because besides the terrified AT&T employees scurrying to their cars clutching their bags in fear of not just the swarms of precious outdoor angels but of us, the wandering tourists, that's all you're gonna get. You can choose to brave the city, should you be so bold. But all that awaits you is some "stuff" maybe some restaurants? A store? A weird half empty building attached to a lobby to a high rise apartment. Now to end this open faced compliment sandwich. They offer free parking with validation from the bar at the exchange which is a single story food hall thing that's got a decent variety of food options but that deserves a review of its own.

Nice, safe, and pleasant spot to relax downtown outside. Art and furniture. Media wall. Upscale food court and bar. Live music sometimes. Not a place to seek out but rather to happen upon and enjoy for us.

Easy spot for food with groups needing different options. It says it closes at 11 but many places were closed when we got there at 10:30 after an evening of a tournament.

Stumbled upon this area today on our downtown Dallas walk. Part off the walkway is closed off for pedestrians only on Jackson for a block or so. Could see this area getting busy on a warm sunny day. It was colder, windy and Thanksgiving today. Could use some shading and trees. The Christmas tree is nice. Big silver ball ornaments that are bigger than my hand.

Since it was right across from our hotel, we had to check out the AT&T Discovery District. The area offers a few shops, restaurants, and of course plenty of AT&T work buildings. Plenty of places to lounge around as well. Would be perfect to bring your laptop and get some work done.

Spacious and nice area when I came to visit in the spring 2024. There's seating in the vicinity to relax and people watch.

Amazing place to relax, enjoy, and chill! Sit outside or dine in one of the restaurants! Love that this place always has some sort of live entertainment! It's always been a vibe! Safe, clean, and upkeep is on point! Street parking, ensure to pay ...! Drinks and food can be taken from the restaurants to the lawn area! If coming for a concert, bring your lawn chairs or blankets to sit on! Enjoy!

Reach out and touch someone! (Please don't touch people here) This is a weird public/private kinda park in the middle of downtown. Here's the (brief) history. Ma Bell got broken up into lots of the little "Baby Bells" due to anti-trust legislation back in the day. Southwestern Bell came out on the top of the heap. Southwestern Bell was headquartered in beautiful San Antonio. They bought out AT&T, changed their name from Southwestern Bell to AT&T, the smaller company, and then moved their headquarters from San Antonio to Dallas, where there's better airports. Scoff. AT&T bought out four whole city blocks (and more) downtown Dallas, took out the streets that run between them, and created a public pedestrian space that's carefully guarded by private security. "Stay out of the fountains!" They shout at people wanting to cool off on a hot day. They show movies here, and have a big ol' screen like they have in Times Square. There's a pavillion that's shaped like the Death Star you see on all your AT&T statements, and the food court has some reasonably priced grub. It's a fun spot to sit and watch the crowds go by. Be sure to check out the lobby with all the futuristic screens and art gallery. There's a whole other Yelp page for that. This is not a review for just AT&T, it's for their downtown public campus.

Took some friends here that were visiting out of town and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We grabbed some boozy apple cider from one of the outdoor bars located by the stage they had placed for some live music. We were able to go inside if the food court area, which has many options from pizza to tacos and a full bar. They also had a bad Santa upstairs for adults and kids.

Great atmosphere for people watching, chatting with a pal, or meditating. When you done chilling out, there is plenty of art, food and music in a futuristic space in the heart of the city. It's a unique and enjoyable experience and I had no intention of stopping there on my way to a work lunch. I canceled and sat by the "jelly fish" for 2 more hours in 70 degree sunlight.

AT&T Discovery District is a pedestrian greenspace downtown in the middle of a complex of AT&T buildings. A multistory TV screen which AT&T uses to display advertisements and videos towers over the space. There's ample tables and seating, and fountains and art installations make it a pleasant space. When I visited on the weekend, it was filled with families and young children enjoying running around. There were a number of security guards too which I think was appropriate for its downtown location. The Exchange food hall is in the center of this space, so you can grab a bite to eat there and then enjoy your food outside. There's also a public restroom inside The Exchange, so I recommend that if you're needing a pitstop downtown.

I spent some time in downtown Dallas this weekend enjoying the great weather and taking photos of architecture and the AT&T Discovery District which opened one year ago. It's really amazing with lots of people relaxing in the yard, having drinks at the Jaxon Beer Garden or viewing the multiple media walls outside and in the lobby. I highly recommend visiting and spending a few hours relaxing in the plaza.

This is a great spot to take the family or a date in the downtown Dallas area. Always come here to check out the Cowboys or Mavs games. Ideal if you don't want to spend a lot of money and not deal with large crowds. Spacious outdoor lawn with a humongous big screen. I suggest coming early to find a good spot to spread a blanket or set up some outdoor chairs . Parking is validated upon purchase of a drink or food item from the many vendors , just ask a server. There's also inside seating if the weather doesn't permit so that's a plus as well for the unpredictable Texas weather. Nice spot if your a tourist or first time visiting Dallas.

This is such a cute spot! There's a food court nearby and when I was there, there was a movie screening of Selena that was open to the public. There were booths selling Selena merchandise and there were plenty of cars showcased around the area. I guess they do events here from time to time so I would definitely look up upcoming events before you go to Dallas. Some areas in Downton Dallas don't feel safe but this area is a nice little bubble of safety as there was lot of security patrolling the area and the area was well maintained and clean.

Just had to add some more cool pics from this place! We've visited several times and keep finding new things to explore!

Review for Easy Slider-The Exchange inside the food court of AT&T Discovery District. Was here on business and needed to pick up food for dinner to take back to the hotel. The folks at the counter were friendly, professional and attentive. They offer several types of sliders, I opted for the Classic, the roadside & side of tots. Everything was prepared to order, fresh and seasoned well and the tots were nice and crispy even after I returned to the hotel before dining. The next time I am in town I would absolutely return to try other things.

Really cool place to be. Parking is really easy you just parking in the at&t garage and they have signs leading you the discovery area. When you first get there they have a huge media wall with different pictures, art and ads showing. They have a lawn area where you can play games or just sit and enjoy your friends. They also have games like a large connect four. There is food in the food court like area called the exchange. There are also a couple restaurants outside the exchange to enjoy but you can also bring your own food and enjoy on the lawn if you want. They also have an interactive at&t store you can go in an play with some new technology. There was an art exhibit when we went and also these large screens with swimming jellyfish on them. The area is super safe a you have multiple security throughout and police patrolling the area. It's a great spot to visit if you are in Dallas

Have been here twice !!!!! Worth it. Fun to walk around spend an hour or 2. They have food and little pop up alcohol shacks. Very cool place to hang. Parking is decent near the area so you don't have to walk far. Go for it. Chill. Bring the kids. At night people sell stuff for kids too. Little light up toys. People walking around. Just nice.

@they actual space is beautiful but we tried 3 different restaurants and the food was inedible. Especially an all edged lamb gyro that looked and tasted like shredded bbq from 7"11. Bad sushi and a terrible fish taco. Very disappointed in the food.

This screen is huge, looks very clear, and 3D too! You can hear the sound system everywhere! It is Very good for movies. Here is a good view of what it looks like: https://youtu.be/wbrNKSdnJTI
