Killeen

The city of Killeen, Texas, offers many possibilities. Perhaps the most notable feature of this Central Texas town is its northern neighbor, one of the largest military installations in the world: Fort Hood.Though Fort Hood has several museums and other interesting things to see and do, that’s not all Killeen has to offer.As a starter, there are two enormous lakes that feature excellent fishing and a lot of recreation opportunities. It is also home to one of the few planetariums in Texas, along with a performing arts theater that hosts plays and musicals year-round. The most efficient way to experience all Killeen has to offer is to drive 70 miles north from Austin and you’ll be at “Where Freedom Grows.”
