Area Attractions

Gaylord Texan is centrally located in the heart of Texas, just outside Dallas-Fort Worth, and near fantastic theme parks, sports arenas and local attractions. Take the family out to the ballpark for a baseball game at Ameriquest Field or catch an NBA or NHL game at American Airlines Center. What visit would be complete without a visit to Cowboys Stadium, home of America's team—The Dallas Cowboys.

Enjoy the water at nearby Silver Marina on Lake Grapevine where you can rent a boat or grab a burger at the lakeside restaurant. Shop to your heart's content at Grapevine Mills Mall. Shopping may get your pulse rate up, but to really get it racing, check out the new Wild West at the Mesquite Championship Rodeo or sample the wild rides at Six Flags Over Texas.

Once you've chosen your activities, our concierge professionals can help with your planning needs by purchasing tickets to local attractions, making reservations, scheduling tee times, and assist with special requests.

 

American Airlines Center

The award-winning home to the NBA's Dallas Mavericks and the NHL's Dallas Stars, American Airlines Center is the anchor of the 72-acre Victory Park mixed-used development.

American Airlines Center features a one-of-a-kind retractable seating system that reduces conversion time between basketball and hockey configurations. The unique design creates great sightlines so that you'll have a great view no matter where you sit.

Aesthetically pleasing décor including terrazzo floors, windows, crown molding and painted walls and a five concourse design create an open, easy to navigate and visually stunning entertainment venue.

 

Ameriquest Field

Home to Major League Baseball's Texas Rangers, Ameriquest Field is a 49,115 seat open-air ballpark and the centerpiece of a 270-acres complex. The ballpark features Texas architecture throughout with Lone Stars in the concourses and on the seat-aisles.

This family-friendly complex is great place for a day-trip from the Texan and includes a baseball museum, a children's learning center, and a four-story office building within the ballpark and a youth baseball park, a 12-acre lake, and parks and recreation space on the perimeter.

Right across the street is Six Flags Hurricane Harbor, the largest water park in the Southwest.
