Gift Cards Are Another Reason to Check Out our New Visitor Center

Visit Garland Gift Cards 360x250

Help us welcome Garland residents and area visitors to our reimagined Visitor Center on the Downtown Square at 501 W. State St. by purchasing a gift card in time for the holidays! 

Share your love of Garland through giving Garland goodies! Come explore our assortment of souvenirs and one-of-a-kind finds from local boutiques, artists and artisans. Gift cards can be purchased in any denomination. They’re good year-round, but are only available at the Visitor Center. Visitor Center hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Or call 972-205-2749. We look forward to welcoming you! 

The primary focus of the Visit Garland Visitor Center is as an information source of all things Garland: 

  • Our local destinations, attractions, dining and shopping suggestions. 
  • An extensive collection of brochures, maps and guides to assist with planning trips and activities. 
  • An expanded assortment of Garland and Texas-inspired goodies. 

Our team is delighted to support and spread the word about Downtown and area special events. We often have T-shirts available for purchase that coincide with the events. A major goal of the Visitor Center is to partner with and showcase our small businesses, museums, boutiques and galleries. It features limited collections from several of our Downtown shops. It also highlights a sampling of what our fabulous local artisans and creatives have to offer as we hope to drive additional business to these locations. Add us to your destination list for the upcoming holiday season and year-round retail therapy! Our intention is to make a meaningful impact on the growth of Garland. Our vision is for the center to reflect our community and to continue to evolve and serve in new ways.
