I always enjoy hitting the trails in Wichita Falls. They are well kept and fun! I was disappointed with the cancelation of the HHH but I was able to ride and enjoy the trails.

The Pecan Shed

Reviewed By shellys80

We were on a road trip and decided to stop at this little place we kept hearing about. They had lots to choose from but we were mainly interested in the snacks. We bought several varieties of nuts and all of them were perfect. We really enjoyed looking at all the unique gifts as well. I would recommend this place to anyone whether you're on a road trip or not just stop by and take a look. You wont be disappointed.

We had so much fun! We must have spent at least an hour wandering around. Everything is so reasonably priced, and every time you think you've finished looking around, there's another room or floor or hidden corner! In an otherwise seemingly abandoned downtown, this place shines. Be sure to snuggle the kittens napping on the counter on your way out!

Wichita Falls Brewing

We're passionate about good beer. In our opinion, there isn't enough of that around. (…but it's not like there could ever be too much good beer.) So we've built a brewery right in the heart of downtown Wichita Falls! Our vision is big. Wichita Falls Brewing is a family friendly spot to gather, drink good beer, eat good food from local food trucks and drink more good beer.

Reviewed By ChristopherB568

The owner was so kind that even though we got there past closing and just expected to look a moment and go, he came out and gave us the full tour of this interesting place. Not normally my cup of tea but he’s a good storyteller and I’m glad my wife recommended it. I’m just sad it took me a while to get around to writing reviews.
