One of the best things to do in Pharr, TX is to go to the movies. They have a lot of theaters in the city that are great and show the latest movies that have hit the big screens. The theater are first class, and some of them actually offer food and drinks while you eat. It is a great place to spend time with friends and family.

Another thing that is great about Pharr, TX is the open range. The city is not crowded, and there is plenty of space to roam freely. This makes it great for four wheeling and dirt bikes for those who enjoy extreme sports and things of that nature. This open country is also great for those who have horses or animals that like to roam freely.

There are many parks located within the city, which is great for those who have families and want to have picnics and other outdoor activities. There are many quality golf courses that are great because they are well kept. The community is also great and they treat visitors right. They have a great library and also have some quality restaurants. The restaurants feature home-cooked meals that will leave a long lasting memory. There are many great bookstores located throughout the city, which is great for those people who are into literature. They have many charity events that take place throughout the year, and this city is build on good morale principles.
