If you have ever wondered what goes on inside an airline's cabin and cockpit, a tour of the C.R. Smith Museum in Fort Worth will be worth your time. This museum, just less than two miles from Euless, takes visitors through the history of American Airlines and displays interactive aviation exhibits. Learn about aerodynamics, observe full-scale aircraft engines or watch a film from the museum's digital theater. A must-see attraction is the flight simulator where guests sit in as the co-pilot to experience flying over the Golden Gate Bridge.
Get a glimpse of Euless' history by visiting Heritage Park at Cullum Drive. Attend a free, monthly guided tour or schedule a private tour with your group. Step into the historical sites of the Fuller House Museum, Himes Log House and McCormick Barn. The Fuller House is a Euless landmark as its first brick house from the 1930s and 1940s. The restored house contains displays of the city's historical artifacts, documents and memorabilia.
Cedar Hill State Park has 100 miles of shoreline with a wide array of recreation options. Tour the park's waters, upland forests, native tallgrass prairie remnants and wooded hills by mountain biking, picnicking, wildlife viewing or sailing. Watch out for wildlife species such as armadillo, coyote and bobcat. Anglers can fish the lake and access the Joe Pool Marina for bass, crappie and catfish. Cedar Hill State Park is less than half an hour away from Euless but can take up to an hour during traffic, so avoid rush hour when making a trip.
View displays of flora and fauna from 14 countries and three oceans. Visitors at Dallas World Aquarium and Zoological Garden can walk though displays and ramps filled with plant and animal exhibits. Not-to-miss exotic displays include the Wilds of Borneo and Orinoco --- Secrets of the River rainforest. Other sights include mixed avian species flying freely throughout while foraging for food, nesting or preening. After a self-guided tour, grab a bite from one of the on-site eateries or stop by the gift shop and bookstore for a souvenir.
