Fairfield Inn-Dallas

One of Arlington's most historic sites is the Fielder House. It is still standing quite impressively, as it has a wealth of stories and history that have echoed across the years. The house has the distinction of being one of the earliest brick homes in the city that was equipped with an impressive set of amenities that included electrical lighting, central heating, a hot water system and indoor plumbing. Walking through this historic attraction is like traversing time, so take a little time to explore one of Arlington's true artifacts that has withstood the test of time.

Amaze yourself as you explore some of the most interesting, bizarre and curious items and phenomena that the world has to offer through the eyes and extensive travels of legendary Robert Ripley at the ever so popular Ripley's Believe It or Not! exhibitions, brought to you at the local offering in Grand Prairie and a must stop on your fun list while in the Arlington area.  As you enter the world-renowned Odditorium, your imagination will perform back-flips as you browse 7,000 square feet of oddities, 12 galleries of uniqueness, a 7D Moving Theater, the Mirror Maze, tons of hands-on interactives, the delicious sweet Candy Factory, meet the stars at Louis Tussauds Palace of Wax as you walk through their wickedly spinning vortex tunnel. You'll have a blast, believe it or not!
