ADVENTURES AWAIT IN ARLINGTON, TEXAS
FROM ROLLERCOASTERS AND A STUNNING PLANETARIUM, ARLINGTON OFFERS WONDER IN SO MANY PLACES
It’s not every city that can have a tagline of “A World of Wonderful,” but Arlington, Texas isn’t just any city. And today? Well, Arlington offers more than its fair share of terrific activities for visitors and locals alike, ranging from family-friendly theme parks and champion sports teams to one-of-a-kind restaurants. In 2025, Arlington will become the permanent home of the National Medal of Honor Museum.
SIX FLAGS IN ARLINGTON, TEXAS
If heart-racing fun is your group’s idea of a good time, Arlington is happy to oblige. At Six Flags Over Texas students have the option of 13 world-class rollercoasters, including Titan (the tallest rollercoaster in the state) and El Diablo (the world’s largest loop rollercoaster). Waterlovers will appreciate Aquaman Power Wave, a first-of-its-kind water coaster. And come warmer weather, Six Flags Hurricane Harbor is the place to be with a float along the Lazy River, slides aplenty and innertube adventures.
