Things to Do for Mother's Day Weekend in Dallas
Top Mother's Day Activities in Dallas
Plan a Brunch Date
Moms get food on the table, ensure there's always a snack on hand, and are the first to ask, "Did you eat yet?" Now, it's their turn to feast. Luckily, there's no shortage of brunch spots in Dallas to gab with your loved one while enjoying breakfast staples, new creations, and a mimosa or two. We recommend rooftop dining at The Henry. This Uptown eatery offers an upscale take on brunch classics like avocado toast and huevos rancheros enchiladas. For hearty comfort food, stop by Oddfellows in the Bishop Arts District. This casual restaurant places a unique spin on deviled eggs, chicken and waffles, and other American classics.
Enjoy the Great Outdoors
If the mom in your life loves spending free time in fresh air, visit the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden. This 66-acre destination in East Dallas features cascading waterfalls, sculptures, and plenty of opportunities to stop and smell the vibrant flowers and take Instagram-worthy pictures of the surroundings. The 7.5-acre Texas Discovery Gardens at Fair Park is a great place to see colorful butterflies and explore nature trails.
Get Crafty
If mom is a crafter or has always dreamed of being an artist, there are plenty of ways to crack open creativity in Dallas. You can treat her to a perfume-making class at Expressive Aromas to formulate her new signature scent. You could also attend a glassblowing class at Dallas Glass Art to create Mother's Day mementos to display on the mantel.
Attend a Mother's Day Event
If you want to attend a holiday-focused festivity, book tickets to the Mother's Day Gala at L.A.Y.D Spaces on May 10. We also recommend checking out the Candlelight Concerts series to listen to musicians while bathed in the soft glow of candlelight.
Plan a Staycation
A planned staycation is the perfect way to unwind without having to hop on a plane first. Visit WorldSprings to give your loved one the ultimate gift of a relaxing, wellness-focused spa day she will never forget.
Why a WorldSprings' Day?
Who wouldn't jump at the opportunity to kick up their feet for a bit of pampering? In today's world, it can be hard to get a moment where the goal is to do nothing — and enjoy it.
The spa menu at WorldSprings includes red light therapy to get the blood flowing and facials promoting rejuvenation, lymphatic drainage, tension relief, and improved circulation.
Massage therapy is also on the menu, aiding relaxation, relieving built-up tension and promoting overall wellness (1). Our offerings include the mineral massage (our signature treatment) designed to exfoliate the skin while improving circulation. Our therapists can also work out kinks and deeper knots during a Swedish or deep tissue massage. If detoxification is on the agenda, book the lymphatic massage.
Mother's Day is also a time to celebrate expectant moms. Our prenatal massage is a must for soon-to-be-moms who are 14+ weeks along. Pregnancy can be uncomfortable, and this massage will make it easier to move while also loosening tense muscles, improving circulation, and addressing other common discomforts.
Booking the prenatal massage (or any other massage) includes a three-hour soak session in our restorative mineral hot springs.
Should You Go Together?
When Mom is also your other half, a couple's spa day can be a great way to recharge your relationship and focus on the two of you. In our daily lives, we may spend a lot of time together, but between work, chores, taking care of the kids, and sleeping, it doesn't leave much time to actually connect.
A couple's massage allows you to relax next to one another, enjoying the calmness of silence together. Follow it up with a soak or facial, then explore our beautiful facility. We are big proponents of social wellness (the experience of interacting with others to boost your mood), and a day of relaxation in our communal hot springs can feel like just the spark you need.
At WorldSprings, we know that moms deserve the best. Book a Mother's Day weekend spa experience now and show the mom in your life that she'll always be No. 1.

Exploring the Kinosaki, Japan Waters at WorldSprings
on Mar 31, 2025 | 4 minutes
Exploring the Blue Lagoon Waters at WorldSprings Seeing the Northern Lights firsthand and taking in sweeping views of the glaciers are two popular reasons people visit Iceland. Given the country’s name and position just south of the Arctic Circle, you might be surprised to learn that the Nordic Island is home to more than 45 mineral hot springs and a rich social bathing culture. If you’ve ever been curious about what minerals are in Iceland’s hot springs and the benefits of mineral hot springs, you’re in the right place. WorldSprings has recreated the experience of an Icelandic mineral soak in the popular Blue Lagoon stateside, and we can’t wait to share what we’ve learned with you. What Is Unique About the Waters of Iceland? Part of Iceland rests on the North American tectonic plate, while the rest of the country is on the Eurasian tectonic plate. When the plates shift due to the liquified rock underneath, the movement triggers volcanic eruptions that give birth to mineral hot springs. Iceland’s mineral hot springs are known for their intense heat, which averages 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Heat levels vary based on whether magma chambers heat the water, the amount of cold water seeping in, and how fast the water flows. As a result, certain hot springs might feel lukewarm compared to others. Icelandic culture is deeply rooted in connecting with nature, which fuels the popularity of hot spring soaks. For locals, visiting hot springs reinforces a sense of community and provides a social hub. International travelers often seek out Iceland’s hot springs to enjoy the steamy waters surrounded by a rural, volcanic landscape. Although each hot spring offers different benefits, the therapeutic advantages of soaking in Iceland’s thermal pools only add to the appeal. Soaking in a thermal pool can desensitize pain receptors in the skin, joints, muscles and internal organs to relieve discomfort caused by arthritis and other chronic conditions. Relaxing and alleviating physical discomfort in one of the calming pools can also help you de-stress and feel less anxious. Hot springs can also help improve circulation thanks to the presence of calcium in Iceland’s waters. Calcium is necessary for the creation of nitric oxide, which helps relax the cells surrounding blood vessels and reduce constrictions. What Minerals Are Found in the Blue Lagoon? A trip to the Nordic country is incomplete without a trip to the Blue Lagoon. A few of the many minerals in the world-famous healing hot spring include potassium, magnesium, and sodium. Visitors and locals enjoy soothing soaks with picturesque views of Mount Þorbjörn in the backdrop. Our Iceland Pool takes its cue from the Blue Lagoon, allowing visitors to experience its therapeutic effects stateside, including: Potassium In addition to a solid skincare ritual, soaking in our potassium-infused waters will also improve skin health. Potassium aids epidermal barrier function to keep skin hydrated and looking its best. Magnesium The magnesium in the water improves skin health by blocking inflammation that occurs during acne flare-ups. The mineral also hydrates skin and strengthens its barrier, which helps it retain moisture and prevent dryness and flaking. If you are depressed or have trouble sleeping, a soak in magnesium-rich waters can reduce cortisol levels to help elevate your mood and get better-quality sleep. Sodium The sodium in WorldSprings’ waters can help curb the itching and scaliness associated with psoriasis and other dry skin conditions, while also alleviating symptoms of rheumatic diseases. Iceland Experience in Texas & Colorado WorldSprings’ wellness destinations in Dallas, TX, and Glenwood Springs, CO, are home to more than 40 mineral hot springs, cold plunges and Finnish saunas. The Blue Lagoon-inspired waters, part of the European Region, are popular among wellness-focused vacationers. The Iceland Pool’s high potassium, magnesium, and sodium content makes it possible to enjoy the type of mineral hot springs found in Iceland without leaving the U.S. Visitors can lounge in our six shaded pools to enjoy the benefits of Iceland-inspired waters before enjoying a rejuvenating dip in the nearby cold plunge pool. Book a cabana to unwind in privacy and luxury with priority refreshment service, or gather around the fire pit to enjoy lively conversations as the sun goes down. Whether you’re looking for a unique staycation or a romantic getaway with international flair, booking your WorldSprings visit will put you in a more relaxed state of mind.

The Benefits of Compression Boots
on Mar 24, 2025 | 6 minutes
The Benefits of Compression Boots If you’re a sports fan, there’s a chance that you’ve heard of compression boots. Many professional athletes swear by them to help improve performance and recovery after a challenging workout. They’re also gaining popularity among fitness enthusiasts and anyone dealing with the pain and swelling associated with circulation issues. What are compression boots, how do they work, and should you try a session the next time you visit The Spa at WorldSprings? Keep reading to find out. What Do Compression Boots Do? Compression boots aren’t actually boots in the traditional sense. They are inflatable devices made from durable fabric that slip over your legs, usually reaching your upper thighs. When engaged, the air chambers inside the boots inflate and deflate in a rhythmic pattern, similar to a massage, in a process called intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) (1). The overall effect of this process is improved blood flow since IPC has physical and chemical effects on the body. When the boots inflate, they push down on your veins, forcing stagnant blood and lymphatic fluid out and back into circulation. Putting extra stress on the muscle linings also increases blood flow into the deep veins, triggering the production of various hormones and blood gases. This process can help reduce the risk of clotting and better regulate blood pressure, thickness, and circulation. What Compression Boots Can Do For You Because compression boots can stimulate blood flow and lymphatic drainage, they are becoming increasingly common in sports medicine, physical therapy, and wellness centers. Even if you have a more sedentary lifestyle, you can experience the benefits of compression boots. Fans of the treatment report that they gain a long list of benefits from their sessions, including: Better Circulation Compression boots help oxygen-rich blood reach the muscles and tissues more efficiently, speeding recovery and reducing inflammation after a hard workout or injury. Good blood circulation also helps your body eliminate metabolic waste products such as lactic acid, which can contribute to muscle pain and stiffness (2). Frequent travelers and people who spend long hours on their feet or at a desk can also experience the benefits of compression boot therapy. Reduce Swelling A tough workout, prolonged standing or sitting periods, injuries, and overuse can all contribute to swelling in the legs and feet. Compression boot therapy uses gentle pressure to help move excess fluid out of the legs, reducing swelling and helping you recover faster (3). Many people with varicose veins find that compression boots help relieve the swelling and pain of the condition. Promote Lymphatic Drainage Your body naturally removes toxins and waste via the lymphatic system. However, toxins can accumulate in your bloodstream when circulation slows, affecting your well-being. A session with compression boots can help stimulate this system and aid recovery (2). Better Sleep Poor sleep quality can impact your overall quality of life. A compression boot therapy session could lead to better sleep. The process is relaxing, and the massage-like experience helps calm brain waves and supports central nervous system recovery (1). Relieve Muscle Soreness Wearing compression boots after an intense workout or when you feel sore and sluggish can feel like a massage and help your muscles feel looser, less tense, and pain-free. Although many people use compression or recovery boots to boost their athletic performance, you don’t have to be an athlete to experience the benefits. Many people schedule sessions to get relief from chronic conditions like chronic venous insufficiency or lymphedema (4). These conditions cause legs to swell and feel heavy or painful. This non-invasive and drug-free option is great for anyone living with pain who wants a relaxing alternative to find relief. Let Compression Boots Do the Work For You Compression boot aficionados often rave about how easy and comfortable treatment is, noting that it feels great and that they immediately feel the difference. Sessions typically last about 30 minutes, and while the boots do their work, you can relax and read, watch TV, or just let your mind drift. It’s important to note that while there are some significant compression boots benefits, they’re not suitable for everyone. Certain medical conditions and circumstances can make it unsafe to use them, so consult your healthcare professional if you are pregnant or have: Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) or a history of blood clots Severe peripheral artery disease (PAD) Uncontrolled heart failure Skin conditions or healing wounds In some cases, you can still enjoy compression boot therapy even with these conditions if they are well-controlled and your provider approves. Schedule a Compression Boot Therapy Session at WorldSprings Now that you know what compression boots do, schedule a 30-minute session at WorldSprings in conjunction with your therapeutic soak. Whether you want to ease the soreness from your intense training regimen or reduce swelling, you’ll feel calmer and rejuvenated after a half hour in compression boots. 1. (December 9, 2024).
