Many of the residents of McKinney describe it as idyllic. There is almost no crime, the weather is great and there are jobs a-plenty. Let's check out some of the most popular places to visit.
One of the most popular destinations is the Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary. It is over 250 acres and their goal is to educate children about nature.

The Landon Winery is one of the most popular locations in McKinney. They conduct barrel tastings and tours every Saturday. You can have breakfast, lunch or dinner there and sample the many varieties of wine they have on location.
If you are a dog lover, you will want to go to the Dog Park at Bonnie Wenk Park. People from all over bring their dogs here to burn off some energy and get some exercise. There is a splash pad, separate areas for big dogs and small dogs and a shaded pavilion in case it gets too hot out. This is considered by some to be one of the best dog parks in the world. It is 2 acres and even has water fountains for dogs to drink from.
The Erwin Park Hike & Bike Trail is the preferred destination for runners and bikers in the area. The trail is 6 miles long and well maintained. Most of the trail has signs that lead you to difficult paths if you are looking for an intense workout. Some call this the best trail in North Texas.
The Franconia Brewing Company specializes in creating Bavarian brews and is a popular place to visit. The owner, German-born Dennis Wehrmann, has spent his whole life studying brewing. He spent time brewing in Bavaria where beer is still made like it was in the 18th century. Tours are conducted every Saturday and last about two hours. For just $5 you get to see their beer brewing process and try free samples of their many different beer varieties. Larger groups can book a separate appointment for a private tour.
Chestnut Square Historic Village is a destination where you can explore what life was like back in the 18th century. They have a farmers market where you can buy organic meat and honey. Tours are very inexpensive and allow you to explore six historic sites, including the Faires House, which has a kitchen with an open fireplace. You can take a trolley tour and learn about the many historic people and places in the city. The monthly ghostly haunting events are very popular.
