A couple of friends are meeting in dallas and would like to know if there are fun getaways in dallas or some place to hangout and chill?
When we speak of tourism I have seen mostly about food spots but would like to explore other options as well. Are there any beach nearby or some good tourism. Would appreciate any free/cheap events to go to.

There are a couple of lakes. White Rock, Lewisville, Grapevine, and Ray Hubbard. I think there's an artificial beach somewhere but I can't remember where. Lots of parks and nature preserves around too, good for hikes and bike rides when the weather is nice.
There's other stuff to do like zoos, mini golf, arcades, but you asked for free or cheap.

Lakes, maybe. The beach is HOURS away. For example, from where I am, Galveston would be 4.5 hours and South Padre Island would take 7 or 8 hours.

Beach nearby? Have you consulted google maps? Landlocked as hell here lol.

Scarborough Faire starts next weekend and is open every weekend through Memorial Day. Granted, that is a bit south of Dallas. Still worth checking out for out of towners.
