Things to Do in Frisco, Texas
Frisco has branded itself as a sports city, and it has earned it — the Dallas Cowboys' headquarters, an MLS stadium, the National Soccer Hall of Fame, and one of the country's premier golf resorts are all here. Add a couple of unusual museums and a historic downtown, and it's one of the biggest things-to-do destinations in the northern Metroplex.
Here's what to do in and around Frisco.
The Star
The Star is Frisco's best-known attraction — the Dallas Cowboys' 91-acre world headquarters and entertainment campus, a district of restaurants, bars, and shops built around the Ford Center, a 12,000-seat indoor stadium where the Cowboys practice. Free public spaces and paid tours both draw crowds.
A few miles away, in the Frisco Discovery Center on the Dallas North Tollway, the National Videogame Museum traces the history of the video game industry. Between the Cowboys campus and the museum, it's easy to fill most of a day.
Soccer and Golf
Frisco is a hub for two more sports. Toyota Stadium is home to MLS's FC Dallas and hosts concerts and events, with the National Soccer Hall of Fame right across the way, full of interactive exhibits, memorabilia, and VR displays celebrating U.S. soccer.
And PGA Frisco has made the city a golf destination: the Omni PGA Frisco Resort and its Fields Ranch — home to the PGA of America's headquarters — offer two championship courses open to the public, plus the Dance Floor, a roughly two-acre putting course.
The Rail District
For a change of pace from the big venues, downtown Frisco's historic Rail District is a walkable strip of restored bungalows along Main Street, holding boutiques, breweries, coffee shops, axe-throwing, art galleries, and farm-to-table restaurants.
It's the independent, small-scale counterpoint to the Cowboys campus and the resorts, and it's where Frisco's older, local character still shows.
Parks, Museums, and Family Fun
Frisco has plenty of free and family-friendly stops. Frisco Commons Park and the newer Kaleidoscope Park offer green space and interactive art, the Texas Sculpture Garden displays Texas artists outdoors, and the Frisco Public Library is home to Rexy, a full-size T-Rex skeleton replica that kids love.
Stonebriar Centre adds a big shopping district for a rainy day. Between the sports venues, the museums, the parks, and the Rail District, Frisco can fill a multi-day visit.
