Experience the Best of McAllen

To understand McAllen today, you must first understand its history. Start at the Museum of South Texas History, which chronicles life in the Rio Grande Valley from prehistoric times to the present day. Permanent exhibits feature historic artifacts, documents, furnishings, and clothing to provide insight into how the area transitioned into modern-day Hidalgo County.

Just down the road, the McAllen Heritage Center is housed within a historic church building. This cultural center highlights McAllen's early 20th-century development, including its once-booming citrus industry, art, and music. Beautiful gardens and an art gallery are also open for exploring.

For an in-depth look at the city's Mexican-American heritage and culture, visit the Basilica of San Juan del Valle National Shrine. This Spanish Renaissance-style church is considered the most important religious site for Mexican Americans. The "Valle de Palmas" murals, hand-carved wooden altars, and relics of St. John Bosco provide a glimpse into the Valley's faith and values.

Soak in the Natural Surroundings

Despite its urban growth, McAllen has retained a connection with nature. At the Quinta Mazatlan, you can stroll through themed gardens, hike nature trails and see over 200 species of birds that call this urban oasis home. The 15-acre grounds feature native plants and trees, as well as historic buildings from McAllen's ranching days.

Just minutes away, the Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge is one of the top birding destinations in the country. More than 400 bird species—including colorful parrots, hawks, herons, and the endangered ocelot—have been spotted enjoying the refuge's varied habitats. Walking trails, an observation tower, and photo blinds allow for prime wildlife viewing.

Palm trees, tropical plants, and flowers bloom year-round at the McAllen Botanical Gardens. These gardens have 17 themed areas showcasing the diversity of plants that thrive in South Texas. The award-winning rose garden contains over 2,000 bushes and 200 varieties. The Gardens frequently host community events, art shows, and cultural festivals.

Experience the Local Culture

From Tex-Mex to homemade tamales, McAllen's food reflects its cultural heritage. Sample fajitas, enchiladas and margaritas on bustling 17th Street, or visit family-owned eateries like Jasmin's Mexican Restaurant and El Taco Tote.

McAllen comes alive on weekend evenings, especially in the historic downtown district. Catch a show at the McAllen Performing Arts Center, then go bar hopping and listen to live music along Main Street. The downtown area has been revitalized with murals, boutiques, art galleries, coffee shops and nightlife.

Each December, over two million lights illuminate McAllen's holiday spirit during the Rio Grande Valley Livestock Show & Rodeo. This 16-day event features livestock auctions, carnival rides, parades, musical performances, and, of course, exciting rodeo competitions.
