As summer vacation flies by, you may feel tempted to devise last-minute plans for a family road trip or a beach vacation. However, when factoring in the price of lodging, airfare or extra amenities, it can seem disappointing or just nearly impossible. But, that doesn’t mean you can’t finish out this summer with plenty of family fun or a weekend for the books. After all, with so many festivals, activities and places to visit around Frisco and Dallas, it seems the perfect place for your last-minute vacation is right here in your own backyard. Stop in to Crest Nissan for a quick service appointment and then hit the road!
Families with kids will be pleased with all there is to do around Frisco. From the ultra-fun Six Flags over Texas that is just 45 minutes away to the even closer Hurricane Harbor that promises plenty of splashes, an enjoyable getaway may just come in the form of thrilling rides and extra amusement.
If you’re interested in a family day in Dallas, you may be excited to hear that the Dallas CityPass has you covered. Not only does it include admission to the Perot Museum of Nature and Science that is now showcasing an Amazing Animal: Built to Survive exhibit alongside other interactive displays, but it also comes with three more tickets for a perfect tour of the city. Of course, the day in Dallas isn’t complete without a trip to the zoo.
Included in the CityPass, admission to the Dallas Zoo means plenty of “monkeying around” and hang time with your favorite animals. Visit the Dallas Zoo on an upcoming Saturday night this summer and you’ll also gain free access to Safari Night activities that range from a family-friendly concert to exciting Animal Adventures.
While a day in Dallas may prove as the perfect getaway, there’s also plenty to do within Frisco’s city limits. Catch an FC Dallas game, check out Frisco’s own RoughRiders minor league baseball team at the Dr Pepper Ballpark, take a walk around the nearby Arbor Hills Nature Preserve or visit the Museum of the American Railroad and you’ll find that a refreshing weekend may just mean exploring your own turf.
