If you've got a future scientist in the family, or even if you and your brood just love stargazing, then a trip to the Planetarium at UT Arlington will prove to be the perfect intergalactic adventure. The out-of-this-world tool makes it possible to get an unbelievably close view of various stars and planets through their highly-powered telescope that is projected onscreen in the 165-seat viewing area. Also, the dome animation show is absolutely stunning. The Planetarium at UT Arlington does an excellent job of bringing the adventure of outer space up close for you and your family to discover and learn.

If you are looking for great bartenders, fair prices and a great time then Showdown Saloon is exactly what you expect and when you pull up you know you've come to the right place for the night. It is a constantly interesting and invariably diverse mix of University of Texas Arlington students, "regulars" and interesting characters and always a go-to spot for many and waiting for you tonight. Showdown often runs specials such as the Happy Minutes, UTA Day and the Mug Club and that is in addition to the already great prices. They also have a bar-style menu that will do the trick when you need a late, fried up snack, free peanuts, pool tables, a great jukebox and good music and even a place where you can do your laundry. Drive on by and experience the dive/biker feel, a welcoming outside covered area and all in all a good hole-in-the-wall bar. 

With the legacy of the Dallas Cowboys and the Texas Rangers looming large over the entire city of Arlington, it's not surprising that an entire museum specifically dedicated to sports art is such a popular venue. Reputed to be the nation's largest art gallery devoted to sports, the Hall of Fame Museum is a unique and awe-inspiring museum featuring original pieces as well as lithographs, statues, uniforms, autographs and various other types of memorabilia that even the most causal sports fan will find impressive. This impressive facility is housed within the Rangers Ball park and it offers a comprehensive look at the team's origins, triumphs, trials, and the people who played vital roles in the evolution of this highly regarded baseball team. The various exhibits include rare photos, memorabilia, team uniforms and audio and video presentations.

There are many imitators but only one original Six Flags Over Texas. Affectionately referred to as "The Entertainment Capital of Texas," this iconic park sprawls out over 200 acres and includes rides, shows, attractions, and entertainment. The Texas Giant is the big rollercoaster that has been getting lots of attention lately, so make sure you get ready for a wild ride you'll want to experience again and again. There's also the Batman ride, the Roaring Rapids, and Yosemite Sam's Gold River Adventure to choose from, just to name a few of the fun-tastic rides you'll find when you visit this classic park.
