You probably just had family from out-of-town staying with you for the holidays. It happens maybe a handful of times throughout the year that relatives come for a visit and in some cases, it is your duty to entertain. So where would you take someone who is not from here? Is there even anything to do in Odessa? You would be surprised.

  1. The Wagner Noel Performing Arts Center-This beautiful venue has some of the best comedians, artists, performances and shows I have ever been to. Try to time your family's visit just right and check the Wagner Noel website to see which show you can take them to while they are here.
  2. Ellen Noel Art Museum-this fine art gallery is a little gem in Odessa .They have some great programs and events throughout the year for children, teens and adults. ShrimpFest is an annual event coming up in February that is super popular with the locals. Visit their website to find out more.
