Plano is home to plenty of fun things to do, but a more interesting way to spend your time may be traveling off the beaten path to one of the less-visited attractions. Quite a few options are available, and they each offer unique experiences you may not normally expect from Plano. Take a look at some of our favorites.
Go Ape
The Go Ape treetop adventure course lets you and your family find fun in between the branches. Located in Oak Point Park and Nature Preserve, this facility is home to obstacles, zip lines, and more set on 800 acres of land. Each section of the course takes you higher and higher before finishing off with a zip line. Aside from the activities in the treetops, you can also enjoy scenic walks and hiking.
Heritage Farmstead
A visit to the Heritage Farmstead lets you step back in time to the 19th century where you can see how people used to live. Many of the original buildings are still standing, and you’ll find a museum alongside an active farm. That means real live animals are here too, which you can enjoy even if you aren’t all that interested in history.
Collinsworth Cemetery
For a more somber experience, you may want to visit the Collinsworth Cemetery. It’s a dark reminder of the power that smallpox once had on the community. Not only are victims buried here, but you can learn more about the history of the disease and how it affected Plano in the past.
With these odd yet fascinating activities, you’ll never be short of things to do in Plano.
