Bowling is a real fun thing to do. It's not expensive, easy to pick up (literally watch any 10 minute Youtube video), and the one in East Plano is open nearly all the time

Steam game sales going on, find a new game to play on this kind of days off scenario . Parks are open. Arbor hills and oak point are still fun to go to even in these sorta cold , sorta warm days. And if you don't mind being outdoors, then try some fishing. You won't get too much competition this time of year, so you can enjoy solitude

I know it's not wandering around walkable areas and it might sound dumb but I use this time of year to clean out my closet and drawers. If you are into art, the Kimball Museum has a Roman marble exhibit

There are multiple exhibits including the permanent exhibits. It's worth the drive.

Got to klyde Warren park. But without car. Take the red like then the trolley. Some good food places on the way of the trolley. La gourmet is a good pizza by slice place. Walk around. Read. Museum I believe is free to visit. And head back

I wish there more outside restaurants. I grew up on Lincoln Road mall, strolling, people watching.

The DMA is great if you don't mind going to downtown Dallas. The Legacy's and The Star are fun browsing areas. It's more shopping but you dint have to actually shop to enjoy the area. And it's not walking but The Alamo Drafthouse is awesome imo.

Downtown Plano is 100% walkable. Good spots for coffee and lunch, fun new independent bookstore (technically shopping I know but also enriching and interesting), Interurban Railway Museum, then stroll across beautiful Haggard Park over to the ArtCentre of Plano—Technicolor Cowboy exhibit I just saw there was so fun!

Meow Wolf in Grapevine. My cousin, her kids, and I went to Medieval Times last year for NYE. It was a fun crowd, no one goes for the food.

Allen Americans have a hockey game tomorrow. Tickets are fairly cheap and parking is free. We'll be there with friends especially now that they've released rapist Ben Johnson. Let me know if you come and we can have a drink and I'll introduce you to the gang.

Zoo(Dallas or Fort Worth) or DMA/Perot museum in the morning then lunch at Klyde Warren are a couple good options

The animals don’t come out as much when it’s cold. At the zoos and the Dallas World Aquarium. The Perot Museum was fun. Fort Worth also has good museums.
