DART

Did you know the DART Green Line takes you to Fair Park?

Depending where you are coming from you can take any of the DART trains and connect to the Green Line train. You can exit the Green Line train at either the Fair Park station or the Martin Luther King station to reach Texas Discovery Gardens. The Fair Park station is actually on one side of the park and is further from Texas Discovery Gardens. You can walk through the park to get to TDG. The Martin Luther King station is actually outside of the park but only 1 short block till you enter Gate 6 and you’ll be at TDG.

DART also has bus routes that come to Fair Park at both the Fair Park and Martin Luther King station. Train or bus, 2 stations, either way works!
