Have a friend who did me a huge favor recently. Like went above and beyond on something I needed help on. Enough to have a nice budget to thank him.

He’s got everything he needs. Isn’t a big drinker and likes “experiences.” Age is mid 50s. 
 

I would like to get him a really cool/unique experience…he will take his girlfriend. 
 

Was thinking private helicopter tour over the city…balloon ride…custom cowboy boots…something fun and nice. Not a major sports fan. 
 

Appreciate any thoughts.

Get him a bolt action set up a target on the X on Elm Street and see if he can make that shot.

Take him to The Lodge NorthPark Mall and get him a whore MILF.

 

And seriously these are the kinds of responses you are going to get.  I am happy to live in DFW but first to admit that in terms of unique experiences, especially with what you have already crossed off in your OP there isn't much to do that is unique to the area.  

The Lodge would be cheaper and less of a hassle. Efficient.

Yea but too easy. Gotta up the difficulty factor to make it more unique. I suggest OP dresses his friend like a hobo.

Ya, no surprises ever on the Surly. The Lodge would be a fun lol call. Maybe just bring the hookers to them with a pile of blow.

Just looked at some private chef experiences in your home where they can do/teach sushi and all kinds of stuff. 
 

 

 

 

Plant some coke in his car and turn him in to the cops. He can have the Lew Sterrett experience!

a rousing night at Main Event, Lewisville, followed by unlimited pasta dinner at Olive Garden, and afterwards, how about a small nightcap at BJ's Restaurant & Brewery since he doesn't drink much

Y'all are acting like there isn't a Ripley's Believe it or Not! museum in Grand Prairie. 

In seriousness - maybe a staycation spa package or something at a nice hotel? 

The bowling hall of fame is in Arlington near the stadiums. Medieval Times has an off menu experience where they get mer-deeve-al no your ass.

Go to the little cemetery NE of Hampton and Fort Worth Avenue, where Clyde Barrow is buried. Hop the fence (it’s been locked a long time) and check out the grave. Cool beans. 
 
Then go down to Bob’s and have a great meal.

This is similar to what I was thinking, but could also do a sur la tab group class. It’s byob so a kickass bottle of wine gifted as well. Classes are actually fun and food is pretty good.

Hire the dude in this guy's avatar.  Pick up girlfriend.  Get married in a town square.

You could suck his dick, that would be a unique experience for him

Buy them plane tickets to go somewhere fun. 

Fly him to the Super Bowl champions parade in February. It would be unique since no one in Dallas has seen one of those in a while.

How can you be sure?

Serious-ish kind of answer:

I did something super cool and kind for someone recently and they racked their brain and couldn't think of anything and probably posted on some esoteric website of their interests, but I ended up with a $500 gift card to a luxury hotel with a spa that I could use for a stay or a spa day or dinner or whatever.

I thought that was cool-- but it's been sitting unredeemed in my email and who has the time? Though a massage sounds awesome.

Get the room with the stripper pole at hotel zaza and check out their spa or the one across the street at the crescent. 

Reserve a window table at Monarch (around the 50th floor of one of the downtown hotels) and do a blow out no expenses spared dinner.
