Reunion Tower, known locally as “The Ball,” is a landmark in downtown Dallas with an indoor and outdoor observation deck 470 feet above the city. From the GeO-Deck, you get a 360-degree view of the skyline, with telescopes and zoom cameras to bring landmarks closer. Interactive screens share information about Dallas and the tower. Look for Dealey Plaza below, and, on a clear day, AT&T Stadium in the distance. Go near sunset to watch daylight give way to the city lights.
A landmark above downtown Dallas
Reunion Tower has been part of the Dallas skyline since 1978. Its spherical top gives it the nickname “The Ball,” and the illuminated globe is visible across the city at night. The tower stands 561 feet tall, while its GeO-Deck observation level is about 470 feet above street level.
The deck has both indoor and outdoor viewing areas. Its elevated position gives you an open panorama in every direction, taking in downtown and the surrounding city. Because the tower sits apart from many of the nearby skyscrapers, the view includes both the skyline and the streets beyond it.
What to see from the GeO-Deck
Walk around the observation level for a full circuit of city views. Dealey Plaza is one of the notable landmarks visible from above. On a clear day, you may also be able to see AT&T Stadium, about 18 miles to the west.
Telescopes and high-definition zoom cameras let you look more closely at parts of the skyline. Interactive screens provide information about Dallas landmarks and the tower itself, adding context to what you see outside. The displays make the deck useful as an early stop in a Dallas visit if you want to get your bearings before exploring the city at street level.
Choosing when to visit
The view changes with the light. Visit before sunset to watch the skyline shift from daylight to evening, or come after dark to see the city lights. The indoor and outdoor areas let you take in the panorama from different vantage points.
The tower recommends getting tickets in advance. Paid parking is available, but downtown parking can take some planning, so read the signs before leaving your car. The GeO-Deck is wheelchair accessible, including its entrance and restrooms.
