If you are going to Dallas this April there are tons of events not to miss for both adults and children.

For families looking for something to do as a unit you shouldn’t miss Discovery Days 2010 it will be hosted on Saturday, Apr 10 from 10 A.M. to 5P.M. at the Museum of Nature and Science; there’s sure to be fun and hands on activities for the whole family at this festival. The first ever World Balloon Convention happening April 15-18 featuring a showcase of giant balloon sculptures, classes on making your own and an opening night costume party; even thought this is mostly geared at individuals in the business of party decor I could see this becoming an annual fun for the whole family event. Richland College ‘s Carnival of Steel will be held April 17th featuring steel bands and percussion ensembles from around the United States performing all styles of music from Caribbean and Latin to classical and rock, best of all it’s free and an all ages show.

Now that I’ve covered the family friendly events, here is something for the rest of us. If you’re into body art and rock music, Apr. 9 – 11 is the Musink Tattoo convention and music festival’s first year in Dallas, perfect for supporting up an coming artists of all stripes. Thursday, April 15 is the Single Malt & Scotch Whiskey Extravaganza with malts and whiskeys from around the globe to sample. The evening event will feature a sampling of over 100 of Scotland’s most prestigious single malt & Scotch whiskeys along side award winners from Ireland and Japan.

There is so much going on that I’d have to stay the whole month to see it all and I’ve heard Plano, Garland, and Allendale hotels are affordable and not far from all the points of interest. I may just have to stop in.
