Arlington, Texas, is a relatively small city compared to its neighbors, Dallas and Fort Worth, but its big personality more than makes up for it. Sports fans can rejoice, since the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Rangers stadiums are both located in the city. Even Ranger rivals can be happy about the Legends of the Game Baseball Museum, which celebrates players like Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle. Six Flags Over Texas and Hurricane Harbor offer thrill rides galore. And country music fans will want to check out the famous Johnnie High's Country Music Revue, which has opened the door for stars like LeAnn Rimes and Steve Holy.
The nearest major airport to Arlington is Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, 15 minutes north of the city.
