If you've ever wondered what driving in a race car is like, the Richard Petty Driving Experience is your ticket to adrenaline-pumping action. Sit in the driver's seat or take the wheel yourself. The company has a menu of options to quench your thirst for speed. At Texas Motor Speedway, you can experience the excitement of NASCAR racing with the NASCAR Racing Experience. Drive a NASCAR race car around the 1.50-mile oval track with 24-degree banks in the turns. With one-on-one instruction from a spotter over in-car radio, you can work on driving faster and even pass slower cars as you catch them. And if you'd rather ride as a passenger, take a NASCAR ride along for an action-packed adventure. NASCAR driving experiences are offered year-round, so make your dream of driving a race car a reality.

Enjoy an unforgettable escapade with a treetop adventure at Go Ape, where they offer a 28-foot-high tree-to-tree crossing, super-long zip lines, and heart-stopping Tarzan swings. This 2-3 hour experience is like no other. The course at Go Ape in Oak Point Park takes you over 27 feet up in the woodland canopy, providing breathtaking views of the lush landscape below. Plus, the zipline even crosses over Rowlett Creek. With 40 crossings featuring varying suspended obstacles and four zip lines, this is not your typical aerial ropes or canopy tour.
