Day trip: AT&T Stadium, Six Flags and Arlington highlights
From Omni Frisco Hotel at The Star you can do a full day-trip loop: start with AT&T Stadium and Arlington attractions in the morning and early afternoon, then head to Six Flags Over Texas or Rangers Ballpark before returning to The Star for the hotel pool and Neighborhood Services restaurant. The hotel sits inside The Star District, a one-minute walk to Ford Center, making it a convenient base for sports- and family-focused outings.

Getting there and parking
Omni Frisco Hotel at The Star is at 11 Cowboys Way, Frisco, Texas, inside The Star District and directly adjacent to the Ford Center. The property lists valet parking for a nightly charge; third-party sites show varying valet rates, so confirm at check-in.
Frisco has limited fixed-route public transit and no DART station inside the city, so most visitors use rideshare, a rental car, or local on-demand GoZone service (weekday hours and zone limits apply). If you’re driving, allow extra time for event-day traffic when major games or concerts are scheduled in Frisco or Arlington.
- Address: 11 Cowboys Way, Frisco, TX 75034
- Valet parking available (nightly charge; rates vary by booking source)
- Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) widely available with short waits; rental car recommended for broader day trips

Morning: AT&T Stadium (Arlington) — plan your visit
AT&T Stadium in Arlington is a feasible day-trip destination from the hotel; VisitDallas lists the distance as about 29 miles from the Omni Frisco Hotel at The Star. Travel time varies with traffic and event schedules, so check local traffic or event-day guidance before you go.

Practical day-trip tips

Also check each attraction’s policies on bags, re-entry and security; pets are not permitted in the hotel pool area or dining outlets, and the hotel requires a kennel at check-in for pets left unattended in rooms.
- Official hotel check-in 4:00 PM / check-out 11:00 AM (confirm with hotel; third-party sites vary)
- Late check-out to 3:00 PM may be available for a fee — confirm at booking
- Pets under 25 lbs allowed with non-refundable $150 cleaning fee; guide/service animals exempt
- Bring sun protection and water for summer outings; check attraction hours before leaving
