AT&T Stadium Tours & Events | Family Fun in DFW

Home of the Dallas Cowboys, AT&T Stadium is a genuine bucket-list stop even on days when nothing is on the field. The Arlington venue is one of the most advanced stadiums in the world, and for families it is best known for the behind-the-scenes tours that put you on the field, in the locker rooms, and under the enormous video board that once held the record as the largest in the world.
Ways to Visit
There are three ways to experience the stadium, and the right one depends on your budget and your kids’ ages:
- VIP Guided Tour: a staff-led walk through the marquee spaces, including the field, the Cowboys and visitor locker rooms, the press box, and the private clubs.
- Self-Guided Tour: offered on a limited basis, this lets you explore the most popular public areas at your own pace, which suits families with restless younger kids.
- Games and events: on a Cowboys game day or a concert, the atmosphere is electric, though it is a very different (and pricier) experience from a tour.
What You’ll See on a Guided Tour
Standing at midfield under that roof is the moment most kids remember, but the surprise for many parents is the art. The stadium holds a museum-quality collection of large-scale contemporary works woven right into the concourses and clubs, so a tour doubles as a walk through a modern art gallery. Kids gravitate to the locker rooms, the field, and the sheer scale of everything, from the video board to the retractable roof and end-zone doors.
Tickets and Hours
- VIP Guided Tour: about $45 for adults and $40 for children and seniors.
- Hours: tours run roughly Monday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., departing about every 30 minutes.
- Booking: tours sell out, so reserve online in advance. No tours run on game days or event days, so check the calendar before you plan a visit. The tour line is (817) 892-TOUR.
Important 2026 Note
AT&T Stadium is a host venue for the World Cup, and as a result tours are blacked out from roughly May 15 to July 21, 2026 while FIFA takes over the building. If you are planning a summer 2026 visit, confirm tour availability first, since that window is closed to the usual guided and self-guided tours.
Tips for Visiting
Book ahead and aim for an earlier slot to beat crowds. If you are attending a game or concert instead, review the bag policy in advance to speed through security and budget for premium parking. The stadium is fully accessible, with accessible parking and facilities on site.
Nearby Activities
