Visit McKinney's mission is to ensure McKinney is the most welcoming gem in Texas.
Our Experience Center is designed to be a welcoming place where visitors and residents can get a little taste of what awaits them in our community. Part of this experience is to give guests an idea of items McKinney small businesses create and sell here.
When visiting our Experience Center:
- Select a complimentary snack, water, or coffee then relax a bit in our seating area where we also have reading material pertinent to Texas and McKinney.
- Explore the portion of our Visitor Experience Center where we offer products made by artisans and makers in McKinney and Collin County, with an emphasis on food and beverage as well as handcrafted gifts and goods. Items are carefully curated to ensure they're interesting to visitors and locals and provide a nice mix of products made locally.
- In addition to souvenirs and gifts, we also have brochures, magazines, and maps of attractions, restaurants, and more.
- Take advantage of one of our free guided walking tours, held two to three times a month, to learn more about the history of McKinney's downtown square and/or to learn more about the public art installations (murals, sculptures, and Tiny Doors) that can be found all around Downtown McKinney. The schedule of these tours can be found on our website and on the kiosk in front of our Visitor Experience Center.
- Snap a selfie (or one of our staff will be happy to take a photo of you and your family) in front of our mural, painted for us by local artist Andrea Holmes.
- Slip on a virtual reality headset to get a peek at various places in McKinney you might like to visit.
We look forward to meeting you!
