About LBJ/Central

LBJ/Central is a DART light rail station in Dallas, a stop on the city's rail network that connects riders with downtown and the surrounding neighbourhoods. The station sits in North Dallas, close to the Park Central business area and within reach of residential streets in both Dallas and Richardson. For visitors, LBJ/Central works as a straightforward arrival and departure point: you can park the car, step onto a train and let someone else handle the driving on days when you are heading downtown for the Reunion Tower, the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza or the Dallas Arts District. The station also serves commuters and locals going about their day, so the area around it has a practical, lived-in feel rather than a touristy one.

Tips for staying near LBJ/Central

  • Dallas is spread out and most errands and sightseeing happen by car, so plan on driving or ride-sharing for anything beyond the immediate station area, and use the light rail when you would rather skip downtown traffic and parking.
  • If you are catching an early flight, remember the city is served by Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and Dallas Love Field (DAL); leaving buffer time for the drive is wise since both are some distance from the North Dallas hotels.
  • Spring, from March to May, and autumn are the most comfortable seasons in Dallas, so those periods fill up first. Book a room near LBJ/Central well ahead if your dates fall in that window.
  • Guests travelling with pets should look at the properties that allow them, such as the 5BD 2BA Cheerful Retreat with Backyard, Best of Richardson 5BD 3BA with Pool Patio BBQ and Dallas Retreat Pool & Patio Near AT&T Stadium.
  • If you want to leave the car parked, choose a hotel with free car parking and treat the station as your way into town; Forest Meadow Homestead and Sonesta ES Suites Dallas Park Central both include it.
