Everything Else
I'm not guaranteeing you'll see the Marfa Lights, but it's fun to head out there (wait until full dark) in good weather and try to spot them. Great view of the night skies in any event.

Arts & Culture
To see the collection, you must book a tour. I suggest doing this in advance as some weekends get very busy. For art-lovers, this is truly a must see. To book a tour, see their website: chinati.org.
