Ready to plan a memorable Mother’s Day for your mom? Here are 6 special outings and activities to enjoy with your leading lady in DFW this year.

6 Mother’s Day Activities in DFW

1. Animals and Eats at Fort Worth Zoo

Moms often compare family dinners to feeding time at the zoo, but with tickets for the annual Mother’s Day Brunch event at Fort Worth Zoo, you can treat her to exactly that! Enjoy a delicious breakfast buffet before enjoying a meet and greet with the animals and exploring the rest of this attraction. Mom will even leave with a new “kid”—every brunch ticket comes complete with a personalized animal adoption.

Where: Fort Worth Zoo, 1989 Colonial Parkway, Fort Worth

2. Brunch at the Bird Cafe

Skip the traditional Mother’s Day breakfast in bed and head on over the Bird Cafe in Sundance Square for a delicious chef inspired brunch. Choose from artisanal breads with three types of honey, an intriguingly named “badass” bacon waffle or the more aptly titled Mother and Child reunion breakfast. Moms will love the relaxed dining in casual, elegant flight-themed surroundings which include a 2,300 square foot outdoor plaza.

Where: 155 4th and Commerce, Fort Worth

3. Catch up Over Coffee at Brewed

Mother’s Day is a time to stop and really appreciate that special lady in your life, so why not head over to Brewed and catch up properly over a cup of coffee? Dubbed ‘The Local’s Living Room’ due to the venues popularity and chilled vibe, Brewed is the perfect spot to spend some quality time with mom. Relax in the eclectic interior with barista prepared brews, or even enjoy a little something to eat.

Where: 801 Magnolia Ave, Fort Worth

 4. Bond over a Ballgame at Globe Life Park

Baseball is good, clean family fun and makes a great Mother’s Day excursion for the whole family. Take mom out to the ballgame, buy her some peanuts and crackerjacks, and root for the home team as you make lasting memories together. For true sports-fan-moms, Globe Life Park offers behind the scenes tours giving a chance to explore the press box, dugout, batting cages, and more—a great way to make Mother’s Day truly memorable. 

Where: Globe Life Park, 1000 Ballpark Way, Arlington

5. Fine Dining French Style at Lavendou

For moms that enjoy the finer things in life, there is no better Mother’s Day treat than a delicious, authentic French meal served in surroundings that are evocative of Europe. Whisk her away on a flight of foodie fantasy with traditional French treats such as escargots, moules marinieres, and decadent foie gras all gracing the menu of this delightful Provencal bistro, all lovingly presided over by proud owner Pascal.

Where: Lavendou, 19009 Preston Road Suite #200, Dallas

6. Dinner and a Movie with Mom at Ivy Kitchen

This acclaimed restaurant is part of LOOK cinemas and started life as a spot to grab a bite and a beer before or after a movie. But, over time, the Ivy Kitchen has evolved to become a player in the Dallas restaurant scene in its own right. Why not take this restaurant back to its roots and plan to enjoy a meal and a movie together this Mother’s Day. You could even treat mom to one of the Ivy Kitchen’s delicious craft cocktails.

Where: Ivy Kitchen, 5411 Beltline Road, Dallas
