Off the Beaten Path Attractions in Arlington

/in /by

At The Ryan, we love Arlington, but there’s more to do here than just Six Flags. As you plan your next visit to our short-term rentals in Arlington, TX, here are some of our favorite off-the-beaten-path locations to explore.

Top o’Hill Terrace

Head to the Top o-Hill Terrace to explore what was once an exclusive restaurant on one of the highest points in Arlington. The historic spot eventually transformed into a casino that utilized underground rooms to keep the clandestine activities out of sight of the law. Filled with hidden corridors and escape hatches, it hosted well-known names like John Wayne and Frank Sinatra. Today, many of the labyrinths have been carefully restored, and tours are available by appointment.

Dunham Farm

On Dunham Farm, you can get up close and personal with friendly capybaras, giant tortoises, and a variety of farm animals. Because the farm is open by appointment only, your visit will be highly intimate and include plenty of opportunities to interact with the animals. If you visit in the spring, chances are you’ll see plenty of babies during your trip.

Arlington Improv

During your visit to Arlington, be sure to see who’s performing at Arlington Improv. This venue hosts many well-known comedians. Keep in mind that the tickets will often sell out, so book early.

International Bowling Museum and Hall of Fame

If you love bowling, consider a visit to the International Bowling Museum and Hall of Fame. Not only can you bowl here, but you can also learn about the history of the sport. There are even artistic displays dedicated to the world of bowling.

As you consider your options for visiting Arlington, make sure to put the right accommodations on your list. For Arlington, TX, short-term rentals, consider The Ryan.
