Catch the most recent alien sightings at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden, where the theme of this year’s annual celebration is Planet Blooms {a more expansive take on the Arboretum’s previous Dallas Blooms). Flying saucers, rocket ships and robots have taken over the park that every spring features more than a million blooms during its five-week festival. Keep an eye out for life-size botanical UFOs-Alien Azalea and Venus Flytrap. Galileo the Galactic Gardener greets visitors as they enter the gardens.

There’s a lot for children to do: decorating planets and stars to take home, making wind chimes and the annual Easter Egg Hunt (March 29).

Parents can partake in how-to seminars, and roving horticulturalists answer the typical “Can I grow this at home?” questions.

As always, visitors (more than 120,000 annually) enjoy the colorful explosion of blooms: geraniums, tulips, daffodils, irises, snapdragons, poppies and 2.500 varieties of azaleas. Visit the Jonsson Color Garden, the misty Palmer Fern Dell, the avenue of crape myrtle trees, the toad fountain and the Lay Ornamental Garden with its native plants and walls-of-water feature.
