This Saturday, Big Thought is inviting young people across the city to get an up-close, behind-the-scenes look at Dallas Love Field. It’s all part of the 6th annual Dallas City of Learning (DCoL) Turn Up! at Dallas Love Field!
The event, which is one of the most anticipated and attended events of the year, features everything from terminal tours and feature exhibits, to food and fun for the whole family.
It will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, June 22, at the Frontiers of Flight Museum, located at 6911 Lemmon Ave. in Dallas.
