Bass Pro Shop in Harlingen

 

A very nice place to visit even if you aren't buying anything. The restaurant, bowling alley, and the snack bar have been closed since the pandemic started. They usually have season decorations and characters for kids. The bathrooms are usually very clean and the workers are friendly. The only exception is the people at the travel booth, but I think it's necessary to be pushy if they are ever going to make some money. I've had a few reps tell me in the past that it's not a time share thing, but it is.

There are sprinklers to the right that are open for kids to run through at times. I'm not sure why they weren't open now. 

Eating Area.

Harlingen boys club is right across the street. There are multiple basketball courts that are new. More Harlingen basketball courts are needed in other parts of the city. These were recently made and there is a small skate park on the other side of the building. 

This is one of the 2 outdoor swimming pools that I am aware of that is open to the public. 

Another water park across the street.

Valley International Airport - Harlingen Texas

     The Valley International Airport located in Harlingen is the best place to fly from if you are mid-valley. 

Fountain at Harlingen Airport

This is a small airport has 7 airlines flying into it; Southwest, American, United, Frontier, Viva, Sun Country, and Delta. 

This picture literally shows most of the space available to wait for passengers who are arriving. You aren't allowed up the stairs or escalators.

If you have to wait her for any amount of time, bring entertainment. Otherwise, you'll be bored here in five minutes. It's obviously not DFW.

Currently, Washed Up Texas, has some interesting "statues?" to look at and ponder the state of our environment.

Luckily, like most airports there is a bar and grill available.

The "remote" parking isn't far away at all. You can walk from the airport entrance to remote parking in under 30 seconds. Keep in mind the remote parking is free for 30 minutes and then $1.50 from 31 minutes to 1 Hour and 30 minutes. The meters in front of the airport are 25 cents per 20 minutes. Therefore, if you are going to be there for 31 minutes to 2 hours, you might as well park at the meters.
