HERE’S A SAYING THAT “EVERYTHING’S bigger in Texas,” and that’s easy to see when exploring the Prairies and Lakes, a travel region that stretches from a northern border
along the Red River and reaches south toward the Gulf Coast. It’s where you’ll fi nd big at ractions and big fun, including world-class museums, big-time sports games and thrilling theme parks. The Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex is a popular destination, but the region also is known for its charming small towns full of antiques shops, kolaches (a favorite road-trip food) and Texas history. Nature lovers revel in wide-open spaces with numerous lakes, more than two dozen state parks and some of the best wildfl ower displays in the state during the spring. Whether you’re looking for fast-paced excitement or slow-moving experiences, you’re sure to have a great time while you’re here.
