One of the coolest, most unique minor league stadiums in the country, the Dr. Pepper Ballpark stadium is a must-visit. This place is home to the Frisco RoughRiders who regularly offer autographs after games. Post-game fireworks and family nights are regular events at this ballpark. Get tickets to a game and enjoy the local food trucks, a bouncy house, and large play areas. Parents can relax with a beer while they watch the kids play or watch a game.

The most distinguishing characteristics of the Dr. Pepper Ballpark is its lazy river. Fans can actually hang out in a pool that stretches along the outfield while enjoying baseball. Large patio areas and the beach-house feel make this the perfect spot for a warm, sunny day. If you can’t catch a game, keep in mind that the ballpark is also available for party rentals and other events. 

2. Texas Sculpture Garden

Interested in art or simply want to enjoy a relaxing walk outside? Head to the Texas Sculpture Garden. You’ll see more than 40 unique sculptures throughout the gardens welcoming you to explore and observe. There’s also an indoor art gallery along the way, great for parents and older children.
