Overload on Texas sports and theme parks

Arlington is continuously becoming one of the most exciting destinations to visit. Being home to two cutting-edge sports stadiums – AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Park – as well as the original Six Flags in the franchise, Six Flags Over Texas, it’s no wonder why droves of families head to Arlington each year for one-of-a-kind, memorable experiences.

Catch a Rangers Baseball Game

Watch Major League Baseball’s Texas Rangers face off against the toughest competition in the nation at Globe Life Park in Arlington. As an added bonus, Globe Life has possibly the most creative menu in the MLB. Don’t miss the "Boomstick" gourmet hot dog, so big it feeds four people.

If you’re a big fan of baseball, you also have the opportunity to tour Globe Life Park. Texas Rangers baseball expert tour guides guide you through the ballpark, showcasing its beautiful turn-of-the-20th century vintage architectural style.

Tour AT&T Stadium

Right across the street from Globe Life Park in Arlington sits AT&T Stadium, the most famous $1.3 billion, state-of-the-art sports complex in the world. Here, fans of the National Football League’s Dallas Cowboys can feel like a champion as they walk on the field under one of the biggest HD televisions in existence. Visitors can take a self-guided tour of the players’ locker room as well as the world-famous Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders’ dressing room. Once you visit AT&T Stadium, no other football stadium on the planet will compare.

And when we say state-of-the-art, we emphasize the "art." The brainchild of Mrs. Gene Jones, visitors with a flair for the arts can immerse themselves in breath-taking sculptures, murals and paintings in a venue unlike any other art gallery in the world.
