An August 2002 trip to Arlington by luuckythree

This town is a homerun of a destination. You can visit Six Flags, Hurricane Harbor, see a play at CATS, eat wonderful food or go to The Ballpark in Arlington to see and experience the Rangers play pro baseball.

Action in ArlingtonBest of IgoUgo

Overview

I enjoy spending an evening at the ballpark, shopping their gift shops, eating whatever food I'm in the mood for and browsing their museum 'Legends of the Game'. If it's a particularly hot night I watch the game from TGIFriday's air conditioned window seat.

Quick Tips:

Best Way To Get Around:

Arlington's convenient shuttle around the entertainment district enables visitors to altogether avoid having to drive!

Hilton ArlingtonBest of IgoUgo

Hotel

Nice and cool rooms. Andrew loved the pool. Indoor and outdoor pools are connected. The best thing about this hotel is the free shuttle from the airport and trolley service to area sites like: Six Flags, The Ballpark in Arlington, Lone Star Horse Race Park, Arlington Convention Center and many restaurants and other venues.

Marsala RistoranteBest of IgoUgo

Restaurant

This is only fine dining I do without children. In the background is a classical guitarist playing. The winelist is varied, and courses are prepared by master chefs. I love the food. It's Italian French.
