I'm native to El Paso, so I might be biased, but I do enjoy living here. Many will say there is nothing to do, but there's plenty of things and places if you look hard enough. So I've compiled this list! Have fun exploring El Paso!

Vendor and farmers markets, parks, etc.
One of my favorites! It's on the west side, and they might be bringing it to the east side of El Paso
Upper Valley Market
This one is downtown, makes for a nice day to go with the family and ride the trolley!
Art & Farmers Market
Can't forget the zoo! It's not the best zoo there is (to be honest), but it makes for a nice outing especially in the fall when temps are lower.
El Paso Zoo
Beautiful park, you can rock climb, hike, camp!
Franklin Mountains State Park — Texas Parks & Wildlife Department
Museums
They have ongoing events, so make sure to check back often!

All the gems and crystals you could dream of, you'll definitely want to leave with one of everything :) They also have gem panning!

The Outlets Shoppes at El Paso
The only mall that has stood the test of time in El Paso.
Cielo Vista™ Mall
I'm not a fan of the parking layout but it's a nice place. There's a large area downstairs for kids to run around and play. They often have events, and markets as well during the holidays.
