“Downtown Dallas Fact of the Week”

The Tunnels

Downtown Dallas has a collection of underground Tunnels and aboveground Skywalks that few people seem to know about. They weren’t all built at once, or even before the buildings were put above them. The tunnels were an afterthought, and it was hoped that the businesses “downstairs” would thrive. They were built to allow Dallasites to enjoy the services of Downtown without having to step out on a hot Texas pavement or in to one of our infamous Texas storms.

The tunnels house eateries, retail shops, shoe-shiners, and tables of vendors with various goods and services offered. The City of Dallas itself doesn’t publicize the tunnel system much; word of mouth does all the work. There are several entrances to the tunnels in Downtown Dallas, one of which is within the Universities Center at Dallas, at 1901 Main Street. Come in, ask to be pointed towards the tunnels, and enjoy an underground adventure!
