Day Trips in Dallas-Fort Worth

"Sandwiched halfway between Fort Worth and Dallas, about 30 minutes from each, Arlington is a city built around sports and entertainment. It’s home to the Dallas Cowboys and AT&T Stadium, which is one of the largest and most advanced stadiums in the world. You can visit AT&T Stadium on a Sunday for a game, concert, or for one of the tours ranging from $25-35 where you can do things like go into the press box, check out the locker room, or even step on the field.The city is also where the MLB’s Texas Rangers play at Globe Life Park from April through September. The best time to check out a game is in April or May or during a night game when you can better avoid the Texas sun and heat.To get a break from the sports action, head down the road to the Six Flags Over Texas amusement park or its’ neighboring water park Hurricane Harbor. With some of the biggest and most exciting roller coasters and water slides in the country, there’s no shortage of thrills here.One of the newest attractions in DFW is Texas Live!, which is located between AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Park. Texas Live! is a venue designed to socialize while watching sports on giant screens with a wide variety of dining options and bars, including the Live! Arena located in the center of all the action." - MATADOR_NETWORK
