Tourism

Dining in Mansfield reflects the town itself. There are many options for down home comfort food as well as authentic Tex-Mex cooking. Numerous national chains offer additional eating alternatives. Several restaurants are located right on the shores of Joe Pool Lake, so the sights of the marina can be appreciated along with a meal. In addition, a short drive to the Metroplex opens the door to a whole world of delicious cuisines.

Visitors to Mansfield can easily meet their lodging needs with four motels in town and ample other national chains located within minutes in nearby Arlington and Midlothian. With its proximity to Dallas/Fort Worth, ranked second in the nation as a meeting and convention center, Mansfield is an affordable, more relaxed lodging option for visitors to the Metroplex area.

While staying in Mansfield, tourists will soon be able to enjoy visiting Big League Dreams Sports Center. Big League Dreams features eight scaled down replica baseball stadiums, including Yankee Stadium, Fenway Park and Wrigley Field. There will also be two indoor pavilions for conferences, soccer, baseball and hockey as well as four sand volleyball courts. The Center is designed to feature batting cages, two restaurants and a one million square foot commercial lifestyle center. Two hotels are already committed to be built adjacent to the Center. Other regional tourist destinations include Six Flags Over Texas, Hurricane Harbor Water Park, and the Dallas and Fort Worth zoos.
