Top-level professional sports, high-end shopping, and all the unique adventures and experiences you can handle comprise the many fun things to do in Frisco. No matter what you enjoy doing, you’ll find something to like about this community, located 25 minutes north of downtown Dallas. To help get you started, we’ve put together a list of some of the top things to do in Frisco while you’re in town.
To have an up-close look at these cars, and the history of rail in North Texas, head to the Museum of the American Railroad in Frisco. Here you’ll find numerous restored vintage railcars, some of which you can climb in to, as well as artifacts and other exhibits.
You’ll see all of this as part of an hour-long guided tour led by a knowledgeable guide who will provide a historical and technical prospective on the museum’s railcars and equipment. This one-of-a-kind opportunity to experience a bygone era is one of the top things to do in Frisco for anyone who loves history.
There's even more fun on the rails to be had at TrainTopia - A Railroad Odyssey in Miniature. Located inside the Frisco Discovery Center, the one-of-a-kind Museum of the American Railroad exhibit features running G-scale trains that roll through a 2,500-square-foot environment that spans Arizona to Texas.
While you're at the Toyota Stadium, discover the history of American soccer at the National Soccer Hall of Fame. Learn about the biggest male and female stars of U.S. Soccer and check out interactive exhibits and iconic memorabilia.
Of course, FC Dallas isn’t the only sports team in town. Frisco is also home to the Dallas Cowboy's world headquarters and practice facility, The Star. Embark on a guided tour to see Super Bowl memorabilia and visit the areas of the facilities the pros use throughout the year.
Additionally, the Texas Legends (basketball) and the Frisco RoughRiders (baseball) are located in Frisco. The Texas Legends are the G-League affiliate of the Dallas Mavericks, while the RoughRiders are associated with the Texas Rangers. Both teams offer sports fans the rare chance to see young and talented athletes before they hit primetime, all while taking advantage of ticket prices that are more affordable than the those offered by the big guys.
Several professional teams in one town offer major-league entertainment that is as fun as it is affordable. If you’re a sports fan, then attending a game is a definite must-do while you’re in Frisco.

Finally, you can find large department stores such as Macy’s, Nordstrom, and Dillard’s at the Stonebriar Centre, as well as a movie theater and a carousel. With so many choices, shopping in Frisco is a must-do for just about anyone.
