Reunion Tower with Union Station

An orb-topped 561-foot observation tower, Reunion Tower is one of the most recognizable landmarks in Dallas. Located in the Reunion District, the tower was a freestanding structure until an addition to the Hyatt Regency Dallas in 1998, which made it part of the complex. The 15th tallest building in Dallas, Reunion Tower was completed in 1978 with the Hyatt Regency Dallas as part of an urban redevelopment project that also renovated the historic Union Station that today services Amtrak, Dallas Area Rapid Transit and the Trinity Railway Express to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and Fort Worth. The observation level of Reunion Tower is called the “GeO-Deck,” which includes an interactive digital experience offering information about Dallas landmarks, Reunion Tower, the events of November 22, 1963, and live-view high-definition cameras. The exterior part of the observation deck features telescopes that provide amazing views in every direction. Also known as Dallas Union Terminal, Union Station is a rail station serving the DART Light Rail, the Trinity Railway Express (TRE) commuter rail and Amtrak. Located in the Reunion District of Downtown Dallas, the building is a Dallas Landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The station serves Amtrak’s Texas Eagle line and is a light rail station stop on the Red and Blue DART lines and for the TRE. Union Station also provides commuters with access to the Greyhound bus terminal, the George Allen Courts Building, Dealey Plaza, the Hyatt Regency at Reunion, Reunion Tower and Reunion Arena.
