Known for its innovative pies, Urban Crust is a local favorite for its wood-fired pizzas and city views from the rooftop patio.

This free museum showcases the history of the Texas Electric Railway along with exhibits on electricity, science and the history of Plano. Kids will love exploring the historic train car stationed outside the museum. Nearby, the open green spaces at Willow Creek Park offer a place for residents to explore.
