NWR: Wichita Falls

Anyone here from Wichita Falls? Im going down there next Saturday for a week with my students for a Habitat for Humanity trip. Any recommendations on where we should go or what we should do? I am contacting a bunch of restuarants tomorrow to ask for donations since we are on such a limited budget. any reccomendations? Thanks knotties!

    I'm not from there, but I have friends from up north and when they come we take them to either BBQ or Mexican.

    My FI is from there and I went to school there... Um... there isn't much to do there.  What kind of thing you were wanting to do?

    This was my thinking too.  We don't ever have much to do when we are there except go out to a few bars.  The casinos are close...

    Yeah... the few bars and it's not even that "happening".  I say head to the casino :)

    I don't think a casino or bar is a great place to take students....  just sayin'.

    I'm sure there are plenty of restaurants for dinners and stuff.   As for other entertainment.... I don't know..bring games?  Does the hotel have an indoor pool or something?

    Not much else to do...

    Lists all of the restaurants in order of popularity and lists things to do. Sadly, there is only 1 thing to do, but a nature center could be cool for students depending on their ages.

    oops... okay, I didn't think about it may be a group of students. 

    I agree with you, bring games etc... I can't think of a local restaurant that can't be found anywhere else either.  It's mostly chain restaurants there.

    Parkway is good!  ANd Gene's hamburgers but that's all I got for food.  They have DQ's everywhere so that is usually one of the places I hit up. 

    I say games bring games and they have a few parks to play in so if it's nice out take them to a park. 

    DH swears he was never bored growing up there but I just don't see how, but then again I'm a city girl and bored with the big city most of the time!
