Choose your Stay
First stop – checking into your hotel! Allen has 10 fantastic options when selecting where to stay while you’re here. With amenities and price points to fit everyone, you’re sure to find the best option for your Labor Day Weekend getaway. If you’re looking to for somewhere steps away from great sales Courtyard Dallas Allen at the Event Center is the place to be! If you want to walk from your room straight into nature while being centrally located the La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Allen at The Village is a great choice. Another great option is Hilton Garden Inn Dallas/Allen – a stones throw from Watters Creek Village without staying in the same location as big events in town.
#PAWsitivelyAllen Tip: All Allen, Texas hotels are pet-friendly, so your furry baby will be welcome wherever you decide to stay.
The Perfect Late Summer Day
Start your day with an early morning walk at Allen Station Park – there’s nothing like getting out to enjoy nature before the sun is at it’s peak. Then stop by Frogg Coffee Bar & Crêperie for amazing coffee and delectable crepe or breakfast sandwich. Head back to the hotel pool for a dip and a moment or two more in the sun. In the afternoon the competition heats up as you take on your family or friends with a few friendly rounds at Topgolf. Or head over to PINSTACK for bowling, laser tag, the high ropes course and more! The fun doesn’t stop here – dinner and live music is in the cards next.
#PAWsitivelyAllen Tip: On your morning walk bring your dog to the new Bark Yard dog park for some off leash exercise and socialization.
Dinner After Dark
After a perfect mix of relaxation and excitement through out the day you’ll have worked up an appetite! For a casual family dinner Village Burger Bar is a go to option. If you’re looking for something a little more intimate, the patio at CRÚ Food and Wine Bar is the best spot to sit back with a glass of vino and have dinner or charcuterie. After dinner walk a few steps to the Village Green at Watters Creek their Creekside Live concert series.
