The Texas Christkindl Market was created to celebrate the nearly 70-year relationship between Arlington and its sister city, Bad Königshofen. The market had its first magical season in 2011. Drawing inspiration from various European markets, the Texas Christkindl Market partners with its Christmas city counterpart, Rothenburg ob der Tauber, to bring the same enchanting atmosphere to Texas. At the Texas Christkindl Market, a world of exclusivity awaits. Visitors can explore unique handcrafted gifts and collectibles, including the highly coveted Käthe Wohlfahrt merchandise and designs from the iconic Rothenburg ob der Tauber Christmas Village. Enjoy a magical holiday weekend by fully experiencing the annual Texas Christkindl Market and other exciting Christmas events in Arlington.
Skating is a great way to get some exercise while having a lot of fun with a date, or the whole family. This is an enjoyable experience, no matter what the skill level is. Arlington Skatium offers a friendly and safe recreation environment in which to skate (or learn how). Skate rental is available as well as a rest area and a place to enjoy some concessions before you get back out on the rink for more fun.
