Are you a fan of craft spirits? Then consider hosting your birthday at Dallas’s own New Artisan Distillery. It’s a 7,500-square-foot distillery with a boutique tasting room. Here, you’ll get to enjoy a private tour of the distillery itself before indulging in its finest homemade spirits.

Invite your guests to join you as you explore the distillery and enjoy some food and craft drinks in the private lounge. This is one of our favorite Dallas birthday ideas when you want to support a local, family-owned business.

But don’t just take our word for it! Check out what a Peerspace reviewer shared after hosting here: “Don and will are the ultimate professionals. From the second we walked in, his hospitality was evident. He was kind, courteous, and welcoming. The venue is even better in person than advertised. The spirits are some of the best I’ve ever tried in my lifetime. This host and venue are a 10/10.”

2. Visit the zoo

Who says zoo field trips are just for kids? If you’re a fan of wildlife, why not visit the Dallas Zoo to explore nature on your birthday? 

You can discover over 2,000 animals, including elephants, gorillas, otters, tigers, and much more. You can even enjoy a more hands-on experience, like feeding giraffes! Just watch out for their tongues.

4. Challenge yourself with paintball 

Want to bring some color to your special day? Then head to Gat Splat and experience a round of paintball with your friends! 

You can go head-to-head against your friends in an indoor paintball field — so the weather won’t be an issue. And if you get tired of flinging paint, you can unwind with a bit of low-stakes axe throwing, which the venue also provides on-site.

5. Go indoor skydiving 

This Dallas birthday party idea is for the thrill seekers out there. Visit iFLY in Dallas for a little indoor skydiving! You can book a private flight session just for you and your guests — and experience the thrill of flying in a state-of-the-art wind tunnel. If you’ve always been scared of heights, this is your ticket to enjoy the thrill of skydiving without the terrifying plane ride. 

After flying around with your friends, consider unwinding with some food and drinks at this inviting Lower Greenville coffee shop. It has indoor and outdoor seating as well as a tasty selection of coffees and cocktails.

6. Make pottery with your friends 

Of course, maybe you’d prefer a more low-key activity for your birthday. In that case, why not take a pottery class with your friends? 

At Paint My Pottery in Dallas, you can plan an adult pottery party where you and your guests will learn to make handmade bowls – and enjoy a healthy dose of art therapy. You can even return afterward to glaze your bowl, letting you make your own handmade birthday present. 

7. Satisfy your sweet tooth with a chocolate tour

Want to satisfy your sweet tooth?  This Dallas birthday idea has you covered. 

The Dallas by Chocolate tour will lead you on a pilgrimage to visit five award-winning Dallas chocolate shops throughout the city. You can sample decadent pastries, truffles, ice creams, and more. You’ll even learn fun facts and tidbits about chocolate as you travel between destinations — on an air-conditioned bus, no less. It’s a chocoholic’s paradise. 

8. Immerse yourself in a VR arcade 

You may have a VR headset at home, but have you ever played at a VR arcade?

Fixation VR is the largest, most advanced VR arcade in Texas. So if you’re a fan of gaming, you can take your experience to the next level. Totally immerse yourself in a multiplayer zombie shootout, free the trapped souls in a haunted house, or just hang out with your friends in a totally different world. It’s an awesome way to escape reality for your special day. 

9. Spend the day at Sundance Square 

There’s nothing like a classic dinner party to celebrate your birthday. Luckily for you, Sundance Square is home to 20+ amazing restaurant options, perfect for special occasions. But there’s more to do here than just grab a bite — you can explore historical sites, admire the artwork on the street and in galleries, or just enjoy some warm Texas sunshine. Sounds like a relaxing birthday to us!
