Garland City Travel Guide, Texas USA. The History. Tourism. A quaint downtown full of antique shops and boutiques resides moments from high-end department stores in an ultra-modern mall. The complex flavors of locally brewed craft beer and the tantalizing aromas of smoked meat mingle with the intoxicating smells of freshly cooked tortillas. A dramatic play captures the imagination, while the beauty of the outdoors lays bare unlimited possibilities. Experience all of these things in Garland, a Dallas-area getaway for all ages, tastes, and seasons. With a relaxing small-town feel, a thriving arts scene, one-of-a-kind dining, and a limitless amount of adventure, a visit to Garland is just as ideal for out of towners as it is for locals looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the big city. Spurred by the expansion of the Dallas and Fort Worth Metroplex, this once-quiet town has seen exciting growth and development in recent years, making it an even better vacation destination. Hawaiian Falls Waterpark welcomes thousands of visitors each summer who come to shoot down a 65-foot slide, surf in a 16,000-square-foot wave pool, and relax on a lazy river. The million-square-foot Firewheel Town Center off Highway 78 arrived in 2005 and has quickly become a popular spot for dining and shopping in Garland. The addition of a Bass Pro Shops store on the banks of Lake Ray Hubbard was a match made in heaven, letting anglers pull their boats right up to the dock while they grab all the fishing gear they can carry.
