Kids and family events in Dallas-Fort Worth, November 5-11

by Alex Bentley

See all kids and family events.

After the excitement of Halloween, it's only natural to want to take a break. Even though the slate of events is a little sparser than usual, there are still a few fun things worth getting out of the house for.

On Thursday, the Dallas Arboretum will host An Evening with Richard Louv. The author of Last Child in the Woods will talk about how to get kids interested in nature again and how doing so will make them happy and healthy.

Who doesn't like a good magic trick? If you're in Lewisville, then you can check out The David Hira Magic and Variety Show at the Castle Hills Village Shops Plaza on Friday, November 6. David Hira will do his best to entertain and amaze the crowd.

Also on Friday is the start of the run of Stuart Little at Theatre Arlington. The story of the mouse who tries to make it in the real world of New York City will play on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday through November 15.
