Outdoor Activities
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!
EPMA
A visit to the El Paso Museum of History is a great way to learn about the history of the borderland.

My kids and I both love this place. It has bowling, arcade, trampolines and a toddler play area. The food is pretty good too. It's a big place and it's not too busy on weekdays.

The only mall that has stood the test of time in El Paso.

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.
