Arlington, TX

“Get MVP treatment at Globe Life Field and AT&T Stadium, home of the Texas Rangers and Dallas Cowboys. For outdoor thrills, add in Six Flags Over Texas and Hurricane Harbor to your schedule. From art museums and public art trails to concerts and theatre, scenic outdoor recreation spots and golf courses, and beloved locals’ favorite international food corridors, Arlington has something for everyone!”

– Chad Enloe, Vice President, Sales Arlington Convention & Visitors Bureau

At Six Flags Over Texas, the whole family can play like a kid with stomach-dropping, mega roller coasters, and family-friendly rides and attractions the little ones will love. And right next door you’ll find Hurricane Harbor, the gigantic water park that will make cooling off in the summer easy breezy!

When you think of Arlington, you might automatically think of sports, and no visit to Arlington would be complete without a tour of the world-renowned AT&T Stadium Obviously, a total bucket list item for a true football fan, especially when the tour allows you to step foot on the turf field. Even if you’re not a die-hard fan, AT&T Stadium doubles as a world-class gallery with incredible pieces of art to take in, making it a great option for an educational stop.

Pop across the street to visit another must-see venue, Globe Life Field, which is the mesmerizing new home of the Texas Rangers. Grab tickets, kick back with a hot dog, and “root, root, root!” for the home team. (Extra points if you sing that out loud!) Bonus, you won’t have to worry about a rained-out game with Globe Life Field’s impressive retractable roof.

Any family reunion needs space! And at River Legacy Park there are acres of playgrounds, picnic pavilions and eight miles of paved hiking and biking trails. For some indoor fun, stop by the Living Science Center to learn something new with their interactive exhibits and self-exploration activity tables.

In The District, fun is at the top of the list at Texas Live!, Arlington’s ultimate stop for eats, drinks, games, and entertainment galore. You’ll find Texas-themed hot spots like the world’s largest PBR bar, complete with a mechanical bull, or the Texas Rangers-centric Sports and Social, where you can go for a round of bowling, skeeball, or ping pong. Live music can be found at Arlington Backyard, with spectacular views of AT&T Stadium and a festival and cultural events calendar year-round.
