The Twisters star and Native Texan stopped by to show you the most instagrammable spots Arlington has to offer! From the set of Top Gun to the streets of Arlington, it’s obvious Glen knows how to strike a pose. Snap a picture at these spots and don’t forget to share your #NationalSelfieDay pics and tag @visit_arlington!
El Arroyo
After a day at the pool, grab a margarita and snap a selfie at El Arroyo’s iconic mural! Embody your inner Channel #1 or Chad Radwell (anyone else bummed that Scream Queens was canceled?!) and spend your Texas summer with a little R&R and some chips and gauc while keeping an eye out for the Red Devil serial killer, of course!
Taipo: Behind The Door
Did you know Arlington has a speakeasy? It may not be the Hard Deck bar from Top Gun, but I’m sure they wouldn’t mind if you and Glen belt out Great Balls of Fire!
Mineral Well Public Plaza
Texas weather can get the best of us all, so cool off in Downtown’s new Mineral Well Fountain. Experience some Arlington history and snap some content for the ‘gram – or in Glen’s case a fancy magazine cover story.
(P.S. please don’t actually get in the fountain!)
World of Wonderful Chair at Globe Life Field North Plaza
Before you grab a drink and a bite to eat at Texas Live!, check out this Visit Arlington photo-op! We think this larger-than-life selfie spot is totally out of this world, perfect for astronaut John Glenn, who Powell portrayed in Hidden Figures.
River Legacy Park
Just like Glen’s serenity song Unwritten says, “Live your life with arms wide open!” River Legacy Park is the perfect spot to grab some Instagram content, connect with nature, and “feel the rain on your skin!” No one else can feel it for you!
Arlington Music Hall
You don’t want to pass up a picture in front of the Arlington Music Hall. This iconic music venue has seen some of the greats like Willie Nelson, Wynonna Judd, and coming soon Glen and Brisket!
Globe Life Field
When going to a game of our 2023 World Champion Texas Rangers, don‘t forget to snap a selfie outside of gorgeous Globe Life Field. The Rangers have the best fans in the MLB but be on the lookout for some rowdy fans from other teams! Bonus points if you scheme to set up your boss on a baseball game date with your frenemy-turned-lover’s boss ala Set It Up!
Dream Sculpture
Stop by Downtown for Arlington’s most inspirational selfie spot. We’re big advocates for following your dreams! (Unless your dream is to become a hit man like Glen’s character Gary in his latest blockbuster hit…we just can’t condone that.)
