Midland's museums tell the story of the Permian Basin, while downtown green space, performing arts, and professional baseball add variety to a short stay. Start with the city's defining cultural stops, then choose an evening activity that suits your schedule.
The Permian Basin Petroleum Museum explores more than 230 million years of regional history through educational exhibits and interactive experiences. It gives families and first-time visitors useful context for the landscape and industry that shaped Midland.

Best for:
Wagner Noël Performing Arts Center hosts touring concerts, stage productions, comedy, and family programming. Check the event calendar before your trip if you want to pair a museum day with a ticketed evening performance.
Centennial Park is a downtown gathering space with a great lawn, stage pavilion, shaded areas, a children's play area, dog parks, and a splash pad. It suits travelers who want a casual break between downtown stops or space for younger visitors to move around.
Midland can serve as a base for a wider look at West Texas. Big Spring offers a distinct landscape-and-history outing east of the city and works best as a dedicated regional day.
Big Spring State Park sits outside Midland on Scenic Mountain, where trails, a paved loop road, picnic areas, and a historic Civilian Conservation Corps pavilion frame views across the surrounding plains. Plan it as a full-day outing, especially if your group wants time to walk, bike, picnic, or combine the park with another Big Spring stop.
