I come here to hit the nature trails and enjoy the gardens. The start of the Johnnie Bendy Trail is treeless for a few but once you get down into the thick of it it’s really nice and woodsy. This place is huge, the pavilion is nice and big with restrooms, the trails are awesome, love coming here in all seasons.

Fantastic trails, nice bathroom and you can see lots of wildlife. We were able to see Big Al. :) It is such a cool experience.

Such a lovely place to walk. If you have young children there is a great playground, fishing pond, picnic areas and restrooms. My grandkids really loved looking at the little garden area that was attracting butterflies bumble bees and even humming birds in early October. I heard a young lady telling her dad she cut her run short as she encountered an alligator.
Rosalyn L — Google review
Beautiful nature preserve park that is maintained by the city if Mineola. Nature trails are well preserved. Pack a lunch with your drinks to come here. Lots of picnic tables, but no concessions at this time. Bathrooms are under the pavilion, although they also maintain a Porto potty close to the playground. Not far off of hwy 69, would be easy to get too.
Rebecca F — Google review
I've lived in the area all my life and have never been to the Mineola Nature Preserve, and boy, have I been missing out. I didn't have a whole lot of time, but with what I didn't get to see, it's a beautiful place, and I look forward to going back to experience more.

Always love my walking time here! They have clean nice trails, fishing, ponds, cool bridges, totem pole, nice restrooms, big play area, covered picnic area, cool windmill, beautiful wildflower & butterfly garden, archery, equestrian trails, disc golf course, bee hive & wildlife viewing stations, just to name a few things! They have 3 different pond areas, very nice covered pavilion that can be rented out, an amphitheater great for field trips or weddings, and equestrian area with parking for trailers. This preserve is so peaceful & beautiful no matter how many people are out there, it’s never too busy to enjoy it!
Tena C — Google review
Always one of my most favorite places to go so close to home! There is so many cool features about this preserve that you almost just have to visited your cell to see them all! There is something cool every season to see. The fact that it cost you nothing to get in makes it the perfect place for field trips, small day hikes, In a great place to take kids of all ages! Several of the trails are paved, well marked, & easy to walk on. When the water level is low you can see some of the old train bridge trestles still left in the pond! The rest of them you can see on the trail that takes you to saving the river. Incredible play area, covered picnic areas, disc golf course, equestrian trails, primitive camping, fishing, etc! Restrooms are super clean, & cold water fountains! Fun for all outdoor loving ages!

Shan C — Google review
We had a rented cabana and had a wonderful server named Alex. He was very busy and rushing around to help everyone. The management of splash kingdom sent him home for trying to help. We found a wasps nest inside our seating after one of our members were stung. We had lots of children and had told multiple workers. Alex had to run some food orders as it was VERY busy and he was serving 24 people easily. He told us to move to the cabana next to us until they got spray. Management came over to the cabana we were sitting at and had an attitude with us asking if we rented it and we explained the situation. She was very rude and snarky. She told us someone rented this cabana and we’re going to want it. Which I replied and said we would move but I’d like the furniture in ours to be moved and replaced so no one else was stung. She left and never came back. Shortly later Alex had come by to let us know he was going home and wouldn’t be able to serve us the rest of our visit. They sent him home for trying to ensure the safety of our children and other guests. Very disappointed in their rude management and the way they treat their employees. I asked why they sent him home and was told it was because he was supposed to take care of the wasp situation even while trying to run food back and forth for 24+ people. Out of everyone we told Alex was the ONLY person to help. Thank you again Alex and don’t forget your worth. Find a job that appreciates your hard work! You were wonderful given the circumstances.
Sarah S — Google review
First, we had great fun, and the kids loved it. Of course, the hot sun is hard, so bring plenty of sun skin protection. It was very busy with long lines for the rides, but it is worth it. Everything was very nice, and the staff was great answering questions and helping when we needed help. We enjoyed our time here. Yes I recommend.
Rene G — Google review
My family had a blast! I want to share that if you're military, wait to purchase tickets at the door. The cooler pass is worth it! Bring food for the whole family! They do have drink passes at the door for $8 a person. We rented a cabana. It was worth it. We got drink bands. Our server filed us up and took our food order. So no waiting in line! This also helped our daughter with celiac not get contaminated food. There are lots of water slides and one of those surf areas too! Lazy river and wave pool along with several kiddie areas. Don't forget to play in the bubbles! I would recommend for the cabanas to get pull down shades. If this review helped you, please give it a thumbs up! #crazykleinadventure
Emily K — Google review
I am giving this park 2 stars, because the staff was super nice, there were plenty of lounge chairs, and the lines weren’t super long. HOWEVER… the bathrooms and lazy river were INCREDIBLY dirty. I’ve never seen such filth at a water park before. The lazy river was absolutely teeming with ants and bugs, and my daughter found a small dead frog in it. One of the worst things was that out of our party of 6, there were 4 of us that got stuck on the wavy pink slide. By stuck, I mean right after the first little drop, we all got stuck in the curve after that and had to scoot down. I am incredibly claustrophobic and had to force myself to deep breathe and remain calm as I took about 5 minutes to slide down. I had noticed people took a while to get down but when I asked the lady at the top she said “Oh that slide takes a long time”. I find it hard to believe they aren’t aware that people get stuck on this slide. My daughter in law said a little girl got stuck on there. They had to blow a whistle until she got down to the opening. There were almost no 2 person tubes, and the single rider tubes were almost all half deflated. Splash Kingdom… CLOSE THAT SLIDE or at the least alert people. You don’t want a small child getting stuck in there and panicking. This place was disgusting and I’ll stick with the smaller but immensely cleaner Greenville park from now on.

Saturday I would suggest not going. Hot, overcrowded, and stinky water, kids were sick for a week afterward from the pee water. Other than that, they had a blast while we were there. We have been before on not so crowded days, and it's a totally different experience.

Flea market
Shopping
Flea & Street Markets
First Monday Trade Days is a well-established flea market that operates for four days each month, offering a wide range of antiques, collectibles, and unique items. While this event has put Canton on the map, there's much more to explore in this picturesque East Texas town. Visitors can enjoy activities such as golfing at scenic courses, experiencing thrills at the water park, and indulging in fishing adventures.
We loved it!! So many great finds, it was hard to decide what to fit in the car. Great selection of food, plenty of parking, and just about everything available for purchase. Love to support local artists and craftspeople and they are ALL HERE.
Heather D — Google review
PROS: 1) great way to entertain a young family 2) dependable selection of live plants and Mexican imports 3) free entry and hours of browsing 4) dog friendly 5) lots of parking 6) scooter rentals available 7) toilets in every building 8) friendly vendors & staff CONS: 1) typical State Fair Sham-Wow Bldg goods (very little hand-made or artisan ware) 2) very few vintage clothing booths 3) not designed for resellers 4) weather dependent I came on a reconnaissance mission for my vintage shop and made sure to walk the entirety of the grounds so as to offer a fair report. This is a typical flea-market set-up except this one is huge and has pavilion like buildings. One is reminded of the merchandise advertisement building at the State Fair selling Sham-Wows, hot tubs, and cheap Chinese trinkets. This is that. But bigger. A reseller may find some one-offs but not enough of anything at good value for stock. What it lacks in use for a resellers business it’s loaded with in Southern charm! The food offerings range from barbecue to funnel cake, chicken salad sandwiches to fried corn. Grab a beer or a coffee and relax while strolling with friends through the live plant selections and the cool metal yard art displays. At least half is outdoors and weather dependent so bring an umbrella, walking shoes, and a cart.
Raven R — Google review
This place has so much to do, you’re guaranteed a full days worth of activity and walking through all the vendors. Great for people who enjoy flea markets like me, not great for people who don’t want to walk a ton. Love it!
Sam P — Google review
Been a long time and FYI have to reserve carts before you get there. The mountain and that whole area is 90% closed. So just the main area is still open. Soo crowded. Everything closes by 5. Get there early, eat at 11. After 11 there will be a 30 minute wait everywhere. The app is horrible, doesn't show where you are and no search function. BUT, got some really good deals and unique finds.

Rene H — Google review
Check website for cost to park - otherwise it's free. This place is HUGE so expect a lot of walking on gravel, paved walkways, grass, and stairs. If you're looking for anything specific, utilize the map to find those areas. There's vendors both inside the buildings, in the open-air roof-covered areas, and out in the fields on the grass. You can find everything from antiques to homemade salsa to country wear to kawaii to toys to furniture. Certain areas feel like a farmers market and certain areas feel like a flea market and certain areas feel like a thrift store. It's an interesting mesh of mostly overpriced vendors with food options/trucks sprinkled throughout. The scooters that can be rented were practically racing through areas with fragile items and clogging up busy walking spaces so keep a look out so you're not run over. I saw one woman on a scooter smash into two tables of glass and get stuck and blame the vendor for the tight space.

Factory Outlets
Located in North Dallas, Allen Premium Outlets is a top shopping destination with over 120 stores offering a wide range of clothing, accessories, shoes, and home goods. The recent extension project has added more stores and facilities for an enhanced shopping experience. Visitors can explore well-known brands like Kate Spade New York, Michael Kors, Tory Burch, Coach, Polo Ralph Lauren, Under Armour, and Nike Store at discounted prices.
We spent half a Saturday here doing some early bag to school shopping with our three boys. The layout is super walkable for an outdoor outlet mall. The store selection is incredibly varied, though we tended to stick to stored selling boys active wear attire and shoes. They have plenty of dedicated restrooms areas scattered throughout the outlet mall in between stores. These include water fountains, baby changing areas and vending machines for snacks and drinks. Parking can be a bit hectic on crowded days but since it's an outdoor outlet mall, you can just pick a spot, park, then start at one point at the mall and make your way around the ring of stores and end up back at your vehicle. Overall, great prices, selection and experience. We'll definitely be back again soon.

The parking situation is out of control! Getting off the main road and into the parking lot was a nightmare. After spending an hour to park (not an exaggeration) we hit up only the stores before we were completely over it. The only store I had issue in was Converse. The guy (employee) with the shoulder length dreads wearing a white shirt needs to be checked. Dude was way too close to my niece (6 years old) the entire time we were in the store. No other employee followed us around like that. Watching the store and coming to every single spot where I was standing and being THAT close to my niece are two completely different things. He has serious creeper vibes. I couldn’t shop in peace for trying to watch him. It was such an uncomfortable experience. On the flip side, I bought my niece and myself three shirts and two packs of socks each plus a pair of shoes for $120. The sale definitely wasn’t a problem. I could have gotten more if I’d stayed longer though.

This place has an amazing selection of stores from designer brands to great deals on everyday favorites. Everything is clean, well-maintained, and easy to navigate. I found incredible discounts and got exactly what I was looking for. The atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable, with plenty of parking. The staff in every store were friendly and helpful, which made the whole experience even better. If you love shopping and great deals, Allen Premium Outlets is definitely worth the visit!
Raul S — Google review
Its a nice mall no doubt but im noticing a trend in the retail industry. Its supposed to be an outlet right? Discount prices because of discontinued products well what retail will do is mark up up the price and attach a 50% off making it the original price what it would be to begin with. Thats deceptive marketing. North face does it, American Eagle did it with some of their products and im sure plenty others too. Seems to be a trend with every retail especially Amazon
Travis — Google review
I live in Michigan but was visiting friends in Texas so I stopped in here on a Sunday afternoon. The place was packed. There are much better stores in this outlet mall than we have in Michigan. I found a lot of great deals. I’ll visit again if in Texas again.

​The Allen Premium Outlets is a fantastic destination for anyone in the North Dallas area looking for designer brands and significant savings. With over 120 stores, it’s easy to spend an entire afternoon here hunting for deals. ​Allen Premium Outlets delivers a strong shopping experience with unbeatable value. It's a premier spot for outlet shopping in the DFW area. Just remember to bring comfortable shoes, and maybe a bottle of water (or an umbrella!) depending on the forecast. ​Would I recommend it? Absolutely!

My son and I went Lacoste last weekend and my son got his bag with his wallet, keys, ID, cash stolen. We had to leave the car there this weekend and pay a locksmith alot of money to get a fob made for his Acura. Beware of your surroundings and be careful laying your things around. The police did review the cameras that day and found a couple took my son's Gucci bag containing his personal items.

Relaxed, contemporary multiscreen theater featuring showings of mainstream films.
Absolutely LOVE it! Especially if you've got kiddos. Love the playground before the movie starts that the kids get to play in. If you go without kids, the upstairs seats have delicious food delivered and drinks. Absolutely awesome 💯
Andrea G — Google review
This was nice for a change. The theater was clean, and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Even the bathrooms were very clean. Nice reclining chairs with a very convenient tray to hold your drink and food. Three issues, however. We could too easily hear some other movie going on next door to our movie. The parking lot does not have enough good lighting - darker than I felt comfortable with. The "special to order food" isn't that special. That food was just okay. I'd stick with regular movie food. The drink cups were very large, which was nice. There is something I like about this theater, but it needs some adjustments. Again, the staff were very nice.
LK D — Google review
Such a fun and unique experience for kids! The chairs are comfortable and have a wonderful seat heating option. The play area is clean and well maintained. My only complaint is the play area was completely dark during the movie and my kids were too scared to climb up to the top to watch the movie (scared of the dark) so they didn’t get to play until after the credits finished and the lights came back on.
Lexie G — Google review
We tried the screen play for the first time today (see pictures and video). The kids had a blast. Remember to come early (30min) to get time to play on the playground before lights are turned off and your asked to go to your seat. They want kids to wear socks, no shoes.
Eric L — Google review
The seats are super comfy, heated, and recline all the way back, which makes long movies feel like a breeze. The theater is always clean, the sound and picture quality are amazing, and the Grand Screen is perfect for big action movies. I love the Treat Yourself Tuesdays with cheaper tickets, and the food from the Marquee Bar & Grille is actually really good! Tickets are very affordable. Whether you’re going with friends or family, there’s something for everyone here. Definitely my go-to spot for movies in Wylie!
Marya T — Google review
Not a great experience. Took my daughter's to the 330pm showing and the theater was a mess. Seats were not clean and overall the chairs are in bad shape. My daughter's did not even feel comfortable sitting back in their seat. The guy at the front desk said he was the only one there and if that was the case, that is not good.
Shaji M — Google review
We had a fun time but the place definitely needs updating. The chairs are super worn. It could also use a really good deep clean!

First time attending this venue. The young lady tried to print tickets, take concession orders, and answer questions by herself, but not quite well. Did not know bar and concessions were available upstairs as well. The theater was small, the seat big and comfy. Did not get to experience the interactive seating this time, but will next time.

Hello, I have to write this review for this store. I live in Fort Worth About 15/20 min from the Nike store in Tanger Outlet. The unnecessary rudeness is why I called this location. YOU GO WHERE YOU ARE TREATED BEST, even if it means a longer drive. The Customer Service I received on the phone is beyond exceptional. My background before teaching was In Sales/Retail for decades, even in the summers off, and strongly believe in good customer service. When I called, Marya answered, sorry if spelled wrong) was so incredibly sweet. Not just being nice, sincere! I then was transferred to Sam. I am beyond impressed at the level of PURE KINDNESS that was given. I was having a bad day, Tanger Location just made it worse. When the conversation ended. My day went from crummy ready for it to be over to....OK LETS GET THIS DAY STARTED. Whether or not they will be able to help me, the customer service alone, the pure kindness shown, I WILL 100% ALWAYS go to this Location, Thank you both so much, I truly mean it. Good Service just is not the surface of helping, it is actually taking a sincere interest in helping. Just being kind. Honestly, some of which can’t be taught. It comes from Within. 😊 Truly can’t wait to go there.

In reading the other reviews, it’s almost like they are all talking about a totally different place but NOPE; it’s the same place! This place was a complete ghost town and they didn’t have much of a selection, a couple of note worthy stores were GAP, adidas, Nike and Crocs but only went into the Adidas store which looked like a bargain basement store, not your normal outlet store….they had no “newer styles” or even last season’s style which is what you would expect at the Outlets. With only a few stores worth mentioning and not your normal outlet stores like Tommy, Couch, Nautica and Van H; I would suggest going to Dallas and checking out Nordstrom Rack or Off of 5th for a better selection and pricing. I would not waste my time coming here again.

Riders Field

Mentioned on 
8 lists 
Stadium
Baseball field
Riders Field is the home of the RoughRiders, where visitors can enjoy a lively game atmosphere. The night of the Jung/Young Bobblehead give-away was eventful, with some frustration over people receiving multiple bobbleheads. Despite this, the staff were friendly and helpful, especially in getting stamps for the MiLB Passport Stamp books. Unfortunately, a power outage caused a two-hour delay and led to a lack of energy in the stadium as many fans left before the game even started.
Fantastic experience—cheap, fun, and a great opportunity to watch quality baseball with a small crowd. The Rough Riders are the Texas Rangers’ double-A affiliate, so the quality of play is high, but the ticket prices are not (tickets for the grass in the outfield are only $14 a person). A great time for the whole family, and much easier to access than the Rangers stadium in Arlington. Also the stadium is beautiful and feels new, and the entire place has the vibe of a well-manicured theme park—as if Disneyland had its own baseball team. Only 30-minutes from downtown Dallas, this is a great option for those looking for unique things to do and see in the city.

We had a blast for the Frisco Rough Riders game. If you can give when the lazy river is available, it is a must. Kids and I had a great time watching the game from the lazy river. Plus, the lazy river is the only way to cool off in this heat. Good food and drinks as well.

I love riders field. It's such a great cozy place to watch a baseball game. I've never had a bad time here. The food is usually very good except for the time I was asked if I wanted beans on my nachos and they poured a laddelfull of baked beans on them. I've never been one to throw away a plate of nachos, and I tried to power through the sweet sauce but it really made them inedible. Luckily I've learned my lesson and just get the regular stuff now.

We have been visiting the ballpark for years and it's truly the most family friendly place to watch baseball. Not a bad seat anywhere. The playground and lawn are super fun for kids of all ages. I love the cashless payments everywhere. Plenty of food and drink options, very pricey as expected. We always have a great time.

Nature preserve
Nature & Parks
Arbor Hills Nature Preserve is a 200-acre park in West Plano, offering a variety of outdoor activities. The preserve features 3 miles of paved hiking trails, a playground, picnic pavilion, and public restrooms. For those seeking solitude, there are also 3 miles of unpaved trails that wind through the property's hidden pathways. Cycling enthusiasts can explore off-road cycling trails in the southern part of the preserve.
I visited Arbor Hills today. I used to frequent this area just to spend time in nature and enjoy my walk. I haven’t been to this area in a while until today because I moved out of the area. But today was a special day because I decided to come back and visit this beautiful nature preserve. Indeed, Arbor Hills is a nature preserve. As you’re walking this season, you will notice the beautiful grassy plains swaying in the wind. There are an abundant of trails that you can take to explore different areas of the preserve. It is a great place to casually ride your bike and is also a popular destination for photography. The nature preserve also has a well equipped playground for children to play and bathrooms for men and women and a family bathroom. There is also a picnic area that you can reserve to have gatherings. Arbor Hills is a great place to walk your dog as they provide poop bags along the main path. After finishing your walks and explorations, treat yourself to some ice cream from the ice cream truck that usually is parked near the restrooms in the afternoons, ready to happily serve customers.

This park is on a smaller scale, but diverse. There are three types of habitats, with various fauna and flora. The paths are well maintained, easily accessible by strollers, or wheelchairs. There are bike trails. We walked the cca 2-mile loop in about 40 minutes, but there are more paths for longer walks. There are occasional elevation changes. The restrooms are not the best looking, but had soap, water and toilet paper. The best feature is the ice cream truck positioned at the parking lot. The parking lot is quite large, for about 100 vehicles.

Arbor Hills Nature Preserve is one of my favorite places to relax and reconnect with nature. The trails are clean, well-marked, and surrounded by beautiful trees, open fields, and scenic views. I love how there’s something for everyone — paved paths for easy walks, dirt trails for a little adventure, and even a lookout tower with an amazing view!
Chippy C — Google review
I visited Arbor Hills 2 days ago. I discovered this area for walking and spending some good times in the evening. This place is good for enjoying sunset, walking, walking dogs, jogging, and cycling, and it is kids friendly. It is preserved by nature. You will pass by exotic species of vegetation, bridge, creek, playground, etc! They also have an observation tower where it is located in high elevation, and you can see beautiful sunset and view from there!! There is an abundance of trail, where you'll discover beautiful nature. All the trails will meet at one end, finally! It is a great destination for cycling, chilling out, and even photography!! They have a kids friendly playground, and they have safe and clean washrooms. You can also reserve/book a picnic spot to have a union or gatherings. This place is pet friendly as well. After finishing the long walk, sighting a best view, you can also treat yourself to some refreshing ice cream 🍨 usually parked near the main parking area or near restrooms, mostly in the afternoons. (P.s. I have spammed the photos for you guys, enjoyyyy 😁😁)

Prestonwood Baptist Church - Plano Campus

Mentioned on 
3 lists 
Baptist church
Sights & Landmarks
Prestonwood Baptist Church - Plano Campus stands as a beacon of faith and community, boasting over 40,000 members and continuing to expand. Established in 1977 by Pastor Bill Weber, this megachurch quickly outgrew its initial location due to its rapid growth. Now situated on an impressive 140-acre campus in Plano, it features a school and a grand worship center that accommodates up to 7,000 attendees. The church reached a pivotal moment in its journey when Dr.
We were visiting Dallas and wanted to try a negachurch. Giant churches can tend to get a bad rap. We wanted to decide for ourselves (we went to several on our journey from Canada). This one was very Spirit-led. It was so evident. Far more than we expected. We expected amazing production and professionalism but got so much more. We were hugely blessed at this church. Treated like royalty when we told them our was our first time. We had front row seats! Pastor Graham came and spoke to us and we didn't even know he was the pastor until he preached. He preached truth unabashedly. You won't get a watered down gospel here. The message was powerful and I couldn't take notes fast enough. Great quote from pastor Jack in the photos. Worship was quite the production but I don't mean that in a negative way. They are giving their best for God and it was beautiful. Orchestra, huge choir, incredible worship leaders. After the service we visited the guest center where we were given free passes for lunch (available weekly), a book by Pastor Jack and free kids Bibles for our kids. The free lunch was fantastic! So much variety. Menu posted. It allows for fellowship. There were hundreds there. We checked out the gift shop and it was very unique. Not just your typical Christian bookstore wares. A lot of beautiful art especially. We bought an adorable animated kids Bible. Fantastic experience here in every way. Our kids didn't attend the Sunday school as they wanted to stay with us so I can't speak to that.

If you want fresh coffee and a ride from the parking lot to the front door then come to the morning services, not to mention the breakfast and gift shop hours are only for the morning service church members. The afternoon church members do not have any of the above-mentioned privileges, but God still loves us all and heaven will fit anyone who loves their neighbor, amen ❤️ .

I don't attend this church, but have come for DTS graduations and a concert long ago. Wonderful facility with a huge Kids Ministry section, large indoor playground, coffee shop, huge dining hall, large sanctuary, and more. At times, it feels like I'm in an airport terminal. I've listened to the pastor's sermons on the radio before and he has strong messages and good teaching. During the most recent graduation, there was a singer whose voice was mostly drowned out by the instruments. He had a very good voice from what I could hear, but I think the audio team needs to lower the volume on the instruments. I've read other reviews/complaints here about the sound. Other than that, I had a great experience.

Prestonwood Baptist Church is an amazing place to worship! The services are always really good and they do a great job of making you feel at home even though its a mega church. My favorite part of the church is their amazing Christmas Program they hold each year. It's an amazing program that is great for anyone to attend. We have taken our kids to the program every year for the past 4 years and plan to continue the tradition for years to come. I've never seen a more exciting and God honoring presentation than their program. It's simply fantastic!

My wife and I have been coming to Prestonwood each year to watch The Gift of Christmas for our 3rd year. This year, we ate at the Christmas Buffet, and even though it cost a little bit, it was will worth it. Very good food and all you can eat. And all the desserts was very good. I think I gained 5 pounds.

Botanical garden
Nature & Parks
Nestled along the picturesque shores of White Rock Lake, The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden is a stunning 66-acre retreat that offers visitors a vibrant escape from the urban hustle. This botanical paradise features an array of colorful gardens, expansive lawns, and lush groves filled with pecan trees, magnolias, cherry blossoms, and azaleas. It's truly a feast for the senses!
The Dallas Arboretum & Botanical Garden is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places I’ve ever visited. Spread across 66 acres along White Rock Lake, it’s full of lush greenery, vibrant flowers, shaded walkways, and relaxing water features. Every corner feels like a photo moment, from buzzing bees and colorful blooms to quiet, tree-lined paths and sculptures tucked among the plants. It’s perfect for families, couples, or anyone who just wants a calm day outdoors. The Jonsson Color Garden and Red Maple Rill are stunning highlights, and even with some areas under construction, the gardens still look incredible. Definitely wear comfy shoes, bring water, and go early for parking. The gift shop is adorable, full of garden-themed décor and souvenirs. The Arboretum also hosts amazing seasonal events like Dallas Blooms in spring and the Pumpkin Village in fall, such we attended today. It’s worth every penny of the ticket price, a must visit spot in Dallas for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone who needs a peaceful escape. 🌸

I love it here! I came for the autumn festival. It’s a beautiful walk in nature. Would definitely come back for their Christmas event! I would recommend walking shoes, and plan to stay for a few hours. There’s a few cafes you can dine at as well. We saw a lot of people with picnic blankets and their own food or crafts, which would also be a great idea when visiting.

The Dallas Arboretum was absolutely beautiful and very well taken care of! There’s plenty of space for large groups to walk the trails comfortably. During my visit, there were two weddings happening, and both setups were stunning. The picnic area was peaceful and relaxing the view of the water made it even better. I also loved that they include areas for kids to play and learn, making it a great spot for families too. An employee mentioned that next week the Arboretum will be Christmas themed, which sounds amazing! Every staff member we came across was friendly, checked in with us, and made sure we were having a good time. I absolutely loved my experience here and definitely recommend visiting!

Took the family a few times now. Fall is beautiful with cooler temps and changing leaves. Their “12 days of Christmas” event held during the holidays is a must see. At night with all the decorations is a neat experience. Day visits we’ve seen bald eagles, falcons and all sorts of wildlife out there including coyotes early in the morning streaking through the empty open grass area!

The botanical garden is a wonderful place to experience silence, stillness, and peace. The staff is attentive and makes sure you enjoy your visit, creating a very pleasant atmosphere. However, drinks and food are a bit expensive, so it is a good idea to bring your own water. Overall, this place is excellent for spending quality time with family, disconnecting from stress, and appreciating nature in a calm environment.

While visiting family we visited this beautiful arboretum. It was decorated for October with thousands of pumpkins and gourds throughout the grounds.

Lots of parking available in the covered parking lot across the street. They have a children’s area to explore as well.

Broken Bow Ranch

Horseback riding service

Broken Bow Ranch offers a great horseback riding experience with beautiful wooded trails and rolling hills. The ranch provides an authentic Texan feel, making it perfect for visitors looking to immerse themselves in the local culture. Trail rides are a highlight, offering picturesque views and the opportunity to borrow cowboy hats for memorable photos. While some facilities may appear rustic, such as the barn and outhouse, the staff is friendly and accommodating.
We did a trail ride at Broken Bow the morning of the April 8 total eclipse, then hung out at the ranch to enjoy the eclipse. Really great experience that we’ll remember forever. Was the first time on a horse for my 7-year-old; he really enjoyed it and is eager to ride horses again. This place is a gem, highly recommend it!

Klyde Warren Park is a vibrant urban park located in the heart of Downtown Dallas. It offers a variety of activities and events, including food trucks during lunchtime, arts and music performances, fitness classes, and children's events. The park was created as a central gathering space for the city and features a spacious lawn surrounded by a tree-lined pedestrian promenade.
It was an amazing experience at this park. It offers a variety of fun activities, especially for family and kids. A big water fountain and sprinklers for kids to play is a prime attraction. It has a lot of play spots, ground to relax, food trucks etc. A very good spot for picnic, time to spend with family or to stay relaxed. I drive nearly 20 miles to go the park, and play with my kid. Very near to US75 and just a small detour takes u to the park, making commute very easy.

It was a neat little walkway to the water/light show. They play music while the water and lights are going. Great place to go relax from all the city life.

There were a few food trucks there as well.

The park is beautiful! There is a water area for children that has games a big lawn and also the bathroom is very clean. While across the street they have a water area for dogs to enjoy as well. The view is beautiful and a nice place to relax and enjoy the view. I would definitely check this place out with the lights. They also have events there. Just don’t drive scooters on that block they’re not allowed in the park, so if you use them you have to park across the street.

Large-scale state-of-the-art interactive & multimedia exhibits & educational programs for all ages.
I had a great time there at the Museum of Nature and there are 5 floors worth of knowledge. There's a floor that focuses on space, another one of geology and another one biodiversity. This is a great place to visit solo or with a group. It is also family friendly. Parking is across the street ans them one would walk to it from there. If you enjoy learning and science, Perot Museum of Nature is the place to visit!

Me and my boyfriend love to come here for a fun date and it was pretty fun. We went on a Thursday so we thought it would be less busy but there were a lot of field trips so it was quite busy. A lot of the interactions didn't work or were broken down for the moment. I understand that there were a lot of visitors and kids that day but at the same time should have been a bit more prepared. It's still a fun activity at the end of the day and the service is always wonderful.

This museum was fun. I really liked the Bug exhibit. It is worth the extra $10. We also watched the 3-D movie.

Great museum for the family both for those local or visiting! The process of reserving tickets online is a breeze. Everyone in my family has their favorite exhibit and although it has been a little crowded each time we've gone, it's generally possible to view or do the things we want to. Staff is always pleasant, informative and helpful during our time there. Parking is straightforward and we appreciate the discounted rate as museum members. This past visit, we took the opportunity to view the newly remodeled children's area downstairs. It was nice and pretty and all...but I would be lying if I didn't say that I was just ever-so-slightly disappointed: The use of space for is great (particularly the outdoor area) but where has all the pretend play gone? There is not a trace of it left. Also gone is any local flair that was once there. This could be a children's museum area literally anywhere in the world. The area overall seems like they wanted a "sensory" sort of vibe but even in that way, it comes up short. That all being said, the outdoor portion (with it's pretty generous shade, climbing wall, really cool water table/feature) and the LEGO table (with the camera/AI photo generator) were big hits with my kids.

This is a really awesome Museum for any age! We were going mainly for my 3 nephews ages 3-5 and honestly the only thing they really enjoyed were the lower level kids Museum where they could play-they weren't much interested in anything else! There is lots of exhibits and lots to read which kids that age could care less about! But honestly if you're wanting to just entertain your kids you can go to a park for free! Now as teens and adults I thought it was really cool but we had to hurry through the entire thing bc the kids (3-6yrs) old would get bored very easily but what I saw and read was very interesting and informational! The pics below are of the entire kids part! Just so you know! Even with young kids expect to spend 1.5-3 hours here easily

It's one of the most enjoyable places I've been to with my 14 month baby. We spend a quality bonding time in the children's area until he was done playing, then we visited the other sections in the museum. The science and natural exhibits are amazing, educational, and very enjoyable.

The Dallas World Aquarium

Aquarium
Zoos & Aquariums
The Dallas World Aquarium, located in the Historic West End District, is a captivating aquatic wonderland housed in a refurbished warehouse. It features diverse marine life from around the globe, including stingrays, piranhas, electric eels, poison dart frogs, and Orinoco crocodiles. Visitors can stroll through a 20,000-gallon exhibit with a glass tunnel where sharks swim overhead.
Unique and full of surprises. It is not the biggest aquarium you will ever see. But what you will see is amazing. They pack more awesomeness into every square foot. It feels immersive but safe. You have the different climates and geographic homes for the critters that are so well thought up and they flow from habitat to habitat well. The penguins are worth the price of admission alone. I felt like I saw it all, but if I go back I will see something new in every enclosure.
Nicholas L — Google review
The aquarium is wonderful. Interesting varieties of amazing fish, corals, birds. The shark tank is a fun place for kids and adults seeing shark swim over your head and all around you is mesmerizing and there’s a huge sword fish too. The only thing is the aquarium needs some tender loving care the bathrooms are old and not clean. The whole place needs a face lift, it’s a little dirty and stinky around the edges. The walkway outside between the front entrance and exit is pretty but when you walk through it there’s an overwhelming smell of urine. The whole outside can use a good power wash. I went several years ago when it looked newer and smelled better. The management needs to do a better job with the place. But it’s still worth visiting there are also gorgeous tropical plants.

Really good for all ages, I went with my husband and my adult son, we wanted to do something laid back relaxing, The aquarium was great! We did a lot of running around and outdoor activities, we went on a Sunday afternoon so the town was pretty quiet and so was the aquarium. They had monkeys, different types of birds and sea creatures. Not a huge aquarium but worth going Takes about 1.5hr to 2hrs to do the whole aquarium. And plenty of parking across from the aquarium.
Jo “ — Google review
This aquarium has some gorgeous fish, an amazing octopus, and very unique birds, but this feels more like they are on display rather than an educational and sustainable environment where the animals live. Education is an afterthought entirely. It was also incredibly inaccessible for wheelchair users and anyone with disabilities. Walkways are steep over the alligator pit, so if you’re in a wheelchair you face the very real danger of rolling through the wooden rails down into the pit. None of the animals/fish/birds were labeled, and we did see a few dying/ill fish in the tanks. Some tanks/wall were leaking, and it is an old building, but that seemed weird to me that you might touch a wall that’s wet from a leaking tank. The ocelot was a really cool animal to see, but it had a very small enclosure for being a big cat. They also had a few open tanks that visitors were reaching their hands into, such as the puffer fish tank and rays tank, which seemed neglectful of the fish. The staff were friendly though and seemed to be doing their best, but I really question the management of this aquarium and the possible exploitation of the creatures.
Dil J — Google review
First of all, as others have said this is less of a fish aquarium and more of an assortment of land + sea. I think this works out in its favor though - traditional aquariums can be a bit repetitive after a while, but the combination of aquarium plus rainforest mini zoo keeps things fun and engaging, particular for kids. My 3 year old wasn't interested in the fish at all, but he could have watched the flamingos all day. My older son loved all the bats. And I loved the manatee! I think the variety makes it easier for families with different interests to enjoy. We went as soon as they opened on a Monday and we were practically the only people there - it was great! I think we saw 2 other people the entire time we were there, and we spent several hours there. The map is borderline useless, but it turns out that's intentional - I was told by one of the employees that it's designed that way so that you don't skip by a bunch of animals looking for a specific one from the map. Honestly that makes sense! The layout was easy and enjoyable, an easy walk up and down the different levels, we visited each level twice because there was so much to see, we thought we saw it all and then spoke with an employee who said "oh, did you see the octopus?" No, actually, we hadn't! One of the employees there, Brian, was so great! He spent the time to talk with my kids about the animals they saw and gave them different facts about them. You could tell he had a genuine care and enthusiasm for all of the animals. Highly recommend going with the realistic expectation that you'll see many more birds than you do fish, and at least from our experience first thing in the morning was a great time to go.

Holy packed. I get we went on a Sunday midday but they can definitely slow down how quickly they're letting people in. You have 0 leg room, there are countless people stopping to take selfies with birds, and very minimum workers on the floor as you go through. Half the information cards we couldn't look at because of the swarm of people. The price we paid was way more than the experience we got as at least at other aquariums you can look at stuff without smelling the nasle cavity of a stranger. It hit the point we were like we just want to leave but we paid $40 per person (after tax.) Outside of that we had fun but other museums, and events we went to we were at least breath during as they had staggered entry.

I love aquariums and this one didn’t disappoint. While it didn’t have as many large ocean style tanks as many of the other aquariums I’ve been to, it was still a great experience. Like a little oasis or getaway that makes you feel like you’re outside of the city without having to leave. There are lots of restrooms spread throughout so you’re never too far from one. There are also lots of restaurants and even resting areas for people with children or babies that may need a place to take a break. You can prepay for parking and you’ll be able to stay in the lot until 5pm. There is not time limit to the time you can spend in the aquarium as well. Overall great experience, would go again.

This is the best aquarium that I have been to. There were so many interesting birds, fish, mammals, and reptiles to see. The aquarium was easy to get through to see all the exhibits. We took our 11, 4, and 2 year old grandchildren, and they loved it as well. I highly recommend anyone visiting Dallas to make plans to see it.

The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza

Mentioned on

$$$$affordable
History museum
The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza is a poignant tribute to the life and legacy of President John F. Kennedy, situated in the very location where his tragic assassination unfolded on November 22, 1963. Nestled within the Dallas County Administration Building, this museum offers an immersive experience that delves into JFK's presidency and the events surrounding his untimely death.
We didn’t get to go inside because of prior commitment but we were met by a gentleman by the name of Arthur who gave us an impromptu tour the site of the Kennedy assassination and some historical facts. He was everything you would expect out of a tour guide. If you walk along the grassy knoll I’m sure you can find him there eager to share a part of history with you.

This was very interesting museum, it covered JFK before he was president, up until the assassination. It was eerie seeing the view to the street from the 6th floor. 7th floor with the children's view was well done as well. Very reflective.
Elizabeth S — Google review
Visiting the Sixth Floor Museum is an emotionally charged and captivating experience. Situated in the former Texas School Book Depository, it provides an in-depth exploration of President John F. Kennedy’s life, legacy, and the tragic assassination that forever altered history. The thoughtfully curated exhibits, featuring a blend of photographs, films, and artifacts, bring history to life, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the events that unfolded. Standing near the corner window where the fateful events transpired evokes a sense of chills and surrealism. It’s impossible not to feel the weight of the view that changed the course of history. The informative audio guide enhances the experience by providing context and shedding light on the significance of that day and its profound impact on the world. The museum’s well-organized layout, respectful approach, and deep educational value make it a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and curious individuals alike. Whether you’re a seasoned history buff or simply intrigued by one of America’s most defining moments, a visit to the Sixth Floor Museum in Dallas is an unforgettable experience.

Just a facinating place to visit. I felt like the place was frozen in time of November, 1963. Loved all the displays and must say that we spent the better part of 3 hours taking it all in. The corner of the 6th floor, where Oswald fired his shots, is on display behind glass so that it can be preserved. It's best to buy tickets and make a reservation in advance.
Robert K — Google review
We visited The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza during a long layover, arriving about an hour before closing. The museum is small but packed with a lot of information about JFK’s life and assassination. There’s a lot of reading involved, though they do include some video portions, which help break things up. It was very busy the day we went, so it was hard to see all the exhibit pieces clearly. The areas on the street marking the shots are also a bit hard to spot. There’s also some loitering outside near the memorial, which felt a little off-putting. Overall, it’s a good museum with important historical content, but I expected a bit more from the experience.
Taylor M — Google review
I was really excited to visit this museum due to my fascination with the Kennedy era. The museum has a lot of information about JFK’s campaign and time in office. There is a section of boxes in the spot where the fatal shot was fired from, with a replica of the gun sitting on the other side. My favorite section of the museum was the one dedicated to shutting down conspiracy theorists. Of course, when I left the museum I asked my fellow patrons if they thought Oswald acted alone. None of them said they did. It seems like people are still hungry for the truth many years later! There is an exhibit of children’s drawings on the top floor and the gift shop has some nice souvenirs if you are into JFK nostalgia. Overall though, I found this museum to be a bit overpriced for what it is, hence the four star rating. If you wanna simply see the spot where Kennedy got shot, just drive down the route for free.
Joe G — Google review
This is a very interesting museum to visit for sure. It offers a lot of details about the JFK assassination, and even information from before he became president and his family. Staff was nice and knowledgeable.
Leidi C — Google review
Interesting museum. I would say if you are interested at all in the assassination / politics its very worth going. I love their gift shop too. The nostalgic items were great. The image is from the 7th floor, the same angle the shot was allegedly fired from, just one floor above. (No politics, just a statement. :))

Dealey Plaza is a significant city park and National Historic Landmark in Dallas, Texas. It gained notoriety as the site of President John F. Kennedy's assassination in 1963. The 'grassy knoll' outside the area is where the museum is located, marking the exact spot on the roadway where JFK was shot. The former Texas School Book Depository at Dealey Plaza now houses the Sixth Floor Museum, dedicated to preserving the memory of this tragic event.
very cool to see in real life, the area felt safe enough to walk around for bit and really understand what happened there. it wasn’t super crowded. we visited the plaza after the sixth floor museum and had a great experience.
Alyssa W — Google review
This plaza is the location of the JFK assassination in 1963 and a landmark location with quite a few things related to the assassination. Here you will find the grassy knoll, triple underpass, Sixth Floor Museum (Texas School Book Repository) and not far from the JFK Memorial Plaza. This is also the location of a monument to George B. Dealey while the Old Red Museum is just across the street as well.

Have always been fascinated by the facts and myths surrounding the JFK assassination. Spent a couple hours walking around the area and felt like I was taken back in time to Nov. 22, 1963. A fascinating area of downtown Dallas.

Visited Dealey Plaza in Dallas today — the spot where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963. Standing here gives you chills. It’s one of those places where you can feel how much history changed in a single moment. JFK was more than just a president; he believed in progress, equality, and pushing the nation forward. From the space race to his call for public service, his vision still matters today. I wanted my daughter to see this and understand why moments like this are important — to know that history isn’t just what we read about, it’s what shaped the world we live in.

I got chills thinking about the history here. For people my age we grew up seeing the sad emotional images of Kennedy being shot. Being here was very emotional on how history was changed on this day. If you get the chance do not miss this historical site.

Grapevine Mills Mall is my second favorite Mall in the DFW area. I have been there numerous times. But my favorite is still The Stonebriar Mall, I just don't live close enough to the Stonebriar, to make it there more often. Anyway I like the numerous Cologne and Perfume stores that they have there and have purchased a few different colognes in the past few months. Recently I visited the Aquarium with my sister and that was fun. So it has a lot to see, a decent food court of course lots of parking space etc. It's visited by both locals and a lot of people that you can tell have just arrived from the nearby DFW airport. So it's definitely one of the hot spots for the DFW area.
Dennis G — Google review
Favorite mall to explore with my kids. We love all the food court options and that there are so many stores for each of our interests. Hot topic, box lunch, earthbound, round 1 and the custom t-shirt kiosk are some of our favorites. Its cool there is five below and Boba tea options also. When we're feeling fancy we spend forever in bath and body works and I take a walk through Victoria secret. Legoland, the movies, sea quest, meow wolf and rainforest cafe are all super fun! Overall like I said it's our favorite mall.

Manikandan — Google review
Grapevine Mills shopping mall is a gigantic, better than average brand name discount outlet center. It offers a nearly complete set of top fashion brands, as well as a few European ones, but not Vitton, of course. Discounts vary from brand to brand, store to store, but generally can be 30% to 50% in some cases. Some brands, like Ralph Lauran, are usually only 10% except for "special sales." These are augmented with some American discount retailers like Ross's and Marshalls, along with specialty fast food take away restaurants in the large food court, and a couple of sit down ones like Chili's. We have shopped there countless times and found some very good buys over the years. It has TWO full length full store aisleways. It can be quite crowded on weekends and holidays. It is about one half miles+ long and takes about 20 minutes to walk end to end. There are good restroom and baby changing facilities throughout. There is more than substantial parking, but you may have to write your parking spot down, because the parking is equal to, or exceeds Disneyland in size with NO trolly to ferry you back and forth. Customer service is generally quite good, but varies from store to store. We do recommend it if you prefer name brand clothing. I highly recommend you review it online before you go to see what brands are there and what clothing models or retail items are being offered.

We here a couple weeks ago. My friend had his kids birthday party there. We had a private room to celebrate and have fun activities for kids and everyone. It was pretty nice just make sure you know the rules first we wasn’t aware we couldn’t separate to go to the aquarium until we were done with the birthday but it all worked out anyway. The people there were nice and helpful. When we went to the aquarium, it was pretty nice and bigger than expected. Just know there are other kids there so it can get crowded at times but in the end, it was still fun. In case you looking for it it’s next to the Lego place.

I had a wonderful time here! We celebrated my granddaughter’s 1st birthday party here. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We loved the atmosphere and aquatic attraction they have here. You don’t expect it to be as big as it is by the way it looks from the photos. We were shocked by how big it was and talk about beautiful, you can tell that they take care of there fishes and other species. I give it a 10 out of 10.

It was amazing. The only thing that I would say is I think it's a little overpriced but it blows away the one in Dallas. My daughter went to the one in Dallas when she saw these pictures she said wow where's this one! I really liked when you're walking What looks like through the water that was really awesome and my grandson loved it. I just think it should be a little bit cheaper but it's beautiful

First time to visit and would definitely do it again. The kids had so much fun. Since I do have a special needs daughter, I look out for our community. Sea Life Grapevine is wheelchair friendly. Everything is open inside for all to see. The peak through tunnels are the only issue inside, as the child has to be removed from their chair if possible to look through, but you can the fish without doing the peek bubble. Handicap bathroom is large, but only has a changing table for babies. I added the $7 tour behind the scenes. Our tour guide was amazing and what we saw was worth the price; however I wouldn't buy it again it. Tickets were less on their website compared to Groupon. We had 3 adults, 3 kids, 1yr old who was free. I ONLY paid $179 and this included behind the scenes. It was a fun-filled day with my kids.

Sea Life is an amazing place to visit! There’s a wide variety of fish and sea creatures to see, and you can tell they take really good care of them. The ticket price is quite reasonable for the experience you get. The staff are passionate and happy to explain things, which makes the visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Loved going to this place with my family. We bought tickets the day before, and you can't take food or drink in the aquarium, but it is inside the mall, so you can go eat at the nearby food court. They also have VR section, but that is an additional thing to pay for when you buy your tickets. You do have the option to print the tickets out, or just show them on your phone.

The view of Dallas from the top is absolutely stunning! My wife and I had a day out and decided to visit Reunion Tower. We arrived around 6:30 PM, just in time to enjoy a lively Mexican dance performance at the top, such a fun surprise! We stayed to watch the sunset, which made the whole experience even more magical. I highly recommend buying your tickets in advance, you will saves money and makes entry quick. Upon arrival, you can even have your picture taken for free, which is a nice touch. The elevator ride to the top is smooth and takes you straight up in no time. Parking, we parked close by from the tower paid $10 for 4 hours.
Muntakimur R — Google review
Reunion Tower was a pretty cool experience. Offers 360 degree views and a great view of the city. While not the highest observation deck we’ve been to it was still a fun experience. One unique thing about this observation deck is that it gives you history on the assassination of JFK along with a perfect view of the building where the shooter was. Overall not the most exciting observation deck if you’ve been to other cities like New York or Chicago and not something I’d come specifically for but if you happen to be in town and have some free time it’s worth checking out.

Reunion Tower is such a unique Dallas experience! Parking is pretty easy with garages and lots nearby, and if you want extra convenience, you can valet through the hotel it’s attached to. Once you head up to the 50th floor, the views are incredible. The observation deck gives you a full 360° walk-around view of the city, and it’s designed so you can enjoy both the indoor space and the outdoor terrace. There are tons of opportunities to take photos. whether you want skyline shots, sunset views, or just fun pictures with family and friends. The space is well-kept, staff are helpful, and the whole vibe feels memorable. Overall, it’s definitely worth a visit for the panoramic views and photo opportunities!

This is a must visit landmark in Dallas offers an 360 degree view from its lollipop style observation deck. The city skyline is a sight to behold, especially breathtaking during sunset or at night when the lights illuminate the city. The interactive displays provide an engaging and educational experience, while the friendly staff enhances the overall visit. A special mention goes to Willie, the elevator operator, whose humor, knowledge, and genuine enthusiasm make the experience truly memorable. I sincerely hope his boss recognizes his contributions and considers giving him a raise which he truly deserves it. Whether you’re a local showcasing the city to friends or a visitor exploring Dallas for the first time, Reunion Tower offers an unforgettable experience with its stunning views and positive atmosphere.

Parking is horrendous. No good parking directions. The construction going on around the tower and the hotel is confusing making it hard to get into. Once inside the hotel you are in the convention hall and very little clear signage directing you to the tower entrance. $19 dollars per person to go up an elevator and walk around for just a few minutes is not very economical. The only reason I agreed is because it was what my son wanted to do for his Birthday. The views were ok, but not really what I was hoping for. The one redeeming factor (the only reason I am willing give 3 stars instead of 1) is the staff in the tower was very warm, friendly and inviting. Was able to strike up a good conversation with a couple of them and they were amazing. The staff at the Hyatt was also great and directed me a much easier way back to our parking spot using a tunnel. It was a nice walk back.
Jeremy G — Google review
The view from this high altitude mesmerizes us as we enter the top of the tower. We spend quality time there. Specifically at the sunset time :) One thing recommended: They will ask you to take photos while entering the elevator. Take as many as possible because they will email you all, but you must purchase at least one. That will cost 25-30.

Great Wolf Lodge | Grapevine

Resort hotel
Water & Amusement Parks
Nestled in Grapevine, Texas, the Great Wolf Lodge Water Park is a vibrant family-friendly resort that promises an unforgettable getaway. Just a short drive from Downtown Dallas, this destination boasts an impressive indoor water park filled with thrilling slides, multiple pools, and engaging water games that will keep kids entertained for hours. Beyond the splashes and slides, families can enjoy character meet-and-greets, storytime sessions, and cozy PJ parties designed to create lasting memories.
Me and my family visit water parks multiple times a year. Each time we reserve cabana’s. Schlitterbahn, six flags, and kalahari to name a few in the state. Layne was hands down the best server I have ever had. We had a cabana for 2 days and this man treated us like family and was like clockwork anywhere in the park. Even when we weren’t in our private cabana he was refilling our drinks when they got low anywhere in the park. He was very charismatic and genuinely a great individual. Great wolf lodge we were the Langley family in cabana #3 and #4 on 25th and 26th of October 2025. Show this employee a great deal of appreciation he is exceptional. He is the reason we will be coming back and continuing to spend our money on cabana’s As for rooms: I’ve had better but that’s not why we came. They were clean but basic. The dance party for my 2 year old was great and she loved all the activities for her and all the children everyday including children’s morning yoga. If you’re old this isn’t a destination meant for you. It’s geared towards children and that’s what makes this place special. On top of employee’s like Layne who make the experience memorable.

Great Wolf Lodge Review Our recent stay at Great Wolf Lodge was a fun-filled family adventure with a few areas for improvement. Water Park & Safety: The lifeguards were absolutely amazing — incredibly attentive and quick to act. We even saw them step in multiple times to help kids who needed assistance, which made us feel very safe. The water park itself is great, but next time I’ll definitely bring water shoes — the floors can feel a little icky at times. Staff & Service: We had a couple of moments where kids got separated from their families, but the staff handled it swiftly and professionally. Overall, the employees are friendly, though they could use more help during peak times. Lines at the attractions can get long, and service at the restaurants is noticeably slow. Food prices are a bit steep if it’s not part of your package. Breakfast was definitely better than dinner, so I’d recommend going with a breakfast-inclusive deal if possible. Facilities & Amenities: The elevators are pretty slow, so if you’re able, it’s faster to take the stairs. The MagiQuest game is a big hit with kids, but parents should pack patience — and comfy shoes! There’s also a full Starbucks on site, which is a lifesaver for early mornings. Tips for Your Stay: Bring hand sanitizer (there aren’t enough stations around the resort) and water shoes for the park. Overall: Despite some slow service and long waits, Great Wolf Lodge offers a safe, family-friendly environment packed with activities. The staff’s attentiveness and the fun atmosphere make it worth the visit — just go prepared and plan ahead for the crowds.

We had a great experience. I read a lot of horrible reviews before I left and was prepared for a disappointing experience but it was the opposite. Cleanliness: the rooms, resort, main areas, and water park were all clean. I saw mutlple workers cleaning throughout the day. No concerns in this area, rarely saw trash or debris anywhere. Food: yes overpriced, convenient not to leave the resort though. We did breakfast buffet, pizza and salad for lunch and dinner buffet. We also brought snacks and sanswhich stuff. Disappointed in the meal plan only because I thought I waa saving money but turns out the breakfast buffet for the kids was only 12.99 so plus the 30 a day dining credit, I saved 0 dollars (42.99 a person a day). Mediocre food but was not expecting a fine dining experience. Skip the dinner buffet and just get a couple pizzas. Food credits work as a balance on your account, they only expire when you leave but not at midnight like other posts I read. Waterpark: go early in the am and the last 2 hours of ope ingredients 6-8 if you want to ride the slides, all other times were 30 plus minute wait. The tornado and green tube slide were our favorite. There was enough seating even on Saturday. The outside pool waa open too which was great to get some air. Activities: kids loved magiquest, halloween events and Luna story. We got the wolf pass and 2nights/3 days struggled to complete all the activities. We did it though! This place is a whole experience, its expensive. They try to upgrade you on everything (the wand, candy, etc). I knew this going in so it waa no big deal, this was one and done for us bucket list item. Probably won't be back unless we can get rooms super cheap. 2 nights, 2 wolf passes, late check out, upgraded patio, wolf den, and dining plan for 3, parking etc our bill was 1400. Pricey but worth it for a quick get away. Try it out but level set expectations. Other things to note, they dont check bags going into water park, people brought coolers etc, they have towels no need to bring them. A back pack is a must, goggles, snacks, water cups, enjoy your time!

Very upset with GWL. We booked a room a month in advance for my daughters 10th birthday. We also added an extra package (birthday package) where the room was supposed to be decorated just for them and make kids feel special. When checking in we reminded the desk clerk about the package and she said yes and to give them some extra time to make sure it was ready. So we went and had a late lunch. We came back and went to our room and absolutely nothing . So we put our swimsuits on and went to the water park for a few hours and came back and still nothing. Greatly disappointed. So its Halloween time and the app says trick or treating is about to start, so we get my daughter in her costume and go out to go trick or treating and they cancelled it. Also the outside waterpark was closed without any notice. Everything GWL was supposed to do was not done. With the price we paid and flying from California to Dallas for our vacation and then not doing what was paid for was a huge let down We have been to 2 other GWL and never had a problem. This place is much smaller and management needs better training. The food in the corn dog place was burnt and old and I forgot to mention that we planned to have dinner at the buffet however that was closed too for some reason I don't think we will be returning . We paid good money and did not receive what we paid for.

Our group of five women meets yearly to attend a conference, and this year we chose the Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine, reserving a suite months in advance so we could all stay together for collaboration and convenience. We booked directly and even confirmed the week of our arrival. Unfortunately, when we checked in, we were given a basic standard room with one bathroom for five adults. After much back and forth, we were finally provided two rooms, but it was not the suite we had carefully planned for. We were also looking forward to relaxing by the pool, only to find it closed “for the season”—despite the fact that temperatures were in the upper 80s during our stay. Our wing of the hotel was under renovation and it showed: messy hallways, water leaks, and multiple maintenance issues. One of our rooms had no hot water, a leaking faucet, and non-functioning AC, and non working appliances. The other room developed a water leak into the wall and hallway, which led to workers needing to enter our space during our stay. The hallways also had large wet areas, suggesting this was not an isolated issue. The food was mediocre at best and very overpriced. By the weekend, the property turned into a madhouse. Elevators broke down, leaving only one set available, which was overcrowded with guests and staff. More than once, we were bumped for service carts. Stairs then were closed for an accident which left us waiting for 35+ minutes for elevators. The restrooms near the waterpark were also in unacceptable condition—wet floors, toilet paper everywhere, and overflowing toilets. To be fair, there were a few bright spots. The front desk staff truly did the best they could under difficult circumstances. Our waitress at Fireside was lovely, and Joshua—the 22-year-old maintenance worker—was outstanding. He came to our rescue multiple times and was the most helpful part of our stay. Unfortunately, the negatives far outweighed the positives. This was my second visit to a Great Wolf Lodge (the first was in Denver), and both times I encountered significant issues. The concept is wonderful, but the execution and upkeep are sorely lacking. For the price and expectations, I cannot recommend this property.

The room was very nice and clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. Pretty pricey but we had a great time! The waterpark was so much fun. I recommend getting the passes for the kids, it’s worth the money for all they get to do around the resort.

Overall, a good experience. We had some not so awesome things and some awesome things. We had to switch rooms twice, had issues with the smell, once we had our second room our room phone didn’t work nor our refrigerator but they were doing what seemed to be a whole floor construction renovation, so maybe that is why it didn’t work. The Waterpark seems rundown, in need of some renovation and overall The cleanliness of the waterpark was not there. I will say the water was clear, but the walkways were filled with Band-Aids, spilled ice cream, smooshed, cupcakes, wet napkins, etc. the only time I really saw someone clean was about 7 PM when the waterpark closed at 8 PM. Now, I will say that there is some amazing things about this place. There were several employees that went out of there way to make her experience magical. My boys absolutely loved Magiquest , had fun at the bowling alley, had fun at the arcade, And enjoy some other amenities. The wolf pass/pup pass seem to be a wonderful add-on. The kids felt like they had tons of options with this pass and us as parents didn’t feel like we had to keep spending more and more money, as it was already included in the pass. The Luna bedtime story was extremely well done And all of my kids were enamored by the story. We had a ton of fun at the dance party, enjoyed interactive games at the grounds, and Had fun at the virtual trail. However, it is the employees that would make you want to come back. One employee stuck out from the rest and that was Evan. He went out of his way to make sure that we had the best guest experience. We appreciate all you did for our family! Thank you, Evan for making a howling good time.

These are some of the photos of 38th Annual Main Street Festival. The Festival lasts for May 20, 21 and 22 2022. There are a lot of people at this festival and there are bands, varieties of foods and rides for children. There are also different things that you can buy as well. There's also wine tasting, jewelry that you can buy and more. The booths are scattered throughout the festival and each both offers something different. This particular event is kid friendly and has something for everyone in it.

Grapevine is often called the "Christmas Capital of Texas", and going off their downtown you can definitely see why. A majority of the buildings are elaborately decorated, and there is an abundance of photo opportunities if you need to create last-minute Christmas cards. There are plenty of interactive elements, including a model train exhibit in the visitor center, a live blacksmith, and snowman which come to life to sing a "Can't Stop the Feeling" parody at night. I will say a high percentage of the shops fall under the "tourist trap" category: I'm a big fan of weird socks, but once you see the same designs for the dozenth time it starts to get a bit tiring. There seemed to be an outsized focus on small businesses, so that's nice. It gets very crowded during the Christmas season. I first arrived at a Sunday around 5, and the adjacent parking garage was completely full, leading to a 20 minute wait to find a parking spot. It got ridicously slammed by 7. On a Tuesday I arrived at 11am to low crowds but it got a bit busy by 1 and started to really pick up by when I left at 3. The rate for the garage is thankfully very reasonable. If you are in the DFW area, I definitely recommend visiting. Even beyond Christmas, downtown Grapevine has a lot of interesting historical landmarks throughout as one of the oldest incorporated communities in the metroplex, and although I complained about the shopping options, there are some real gems here. Grapevine is right next to the DFW airport and within a 30 minute drive of most major cities in the area, so travel should not be a big issue.

Theme park
Water & Amusement Parks
Six Flags Over Texas is a 200-acre amusement park in Arlington, offering over 50 rides and live entertainment. It has been a popular destination for tourists and locals for more than 50 years. The park features a variety of attractions suitable for all ages, from thrilling roller coasters like the Galactic Attack virtual reality coaster to family-friendly rides such as the Runaway Mine Train and El Sombrero. There's also Bugs Bunny Boomtown, designed for young thrill-seekers.
Great Day Out – Highly Recommended! We had a fantastic day at the park! It’s easy to reach and there are plenty of parking spaces, which made our arrival really smooth. When we visited, it wasn’t very crowded, so we didn’t have to wait long for any of the rides – a big plus! The attractions themselves are excellent – everything looked well-maintained and fairly new. There’s something for every age group, from little kids to thrill-seekers looking for a serious adrenaline rush. The park really offers a great mix of fun for everyone. We absolutely loved our time there and would definitely recommend it. The overall experience, especially considering the price, is excellent value for money.

This is a very cool park, I was so excited to visit since it's the original six flags park. a few rides were closed like the train and observation tower, but the rest of the park was open and running well. They have a nice assortment of coasters and other rides, and although I had a little trouble finding my way around the park, I did manage to ride everything that I planned to. The park was clean, I felt safe and the employees were great during my visit. I enjoyed it very much.
Sarah P — Google review
We had a great time at Six Flags! The rides were awesome, and the overall atmosphere was full of energy and fun. Definitely a place where thrill-seekers can have a blast. That said, a few things could have been better planned for. Some of the more popular rides had wait times up to an hour, which slowed down our day a bit — wish we’d known that ahead of time so we could have prioritized better. Also, the food prices inside the park were quite expensive, which caught us off guard. We ended up stepping out for about an hour to grab lunch elsewhere, which worked out okay but took time away from the park. Lastly, it would be really helpful if there were more public water fountains especially on a hot day. Staying hydrated shouldn't be so difficult! Overall, we still had a wonderful day full of memories, just recommended to come prepared!

We had a great time! Lines to get in were quick but the ride lines were all about an hour or longer. We got the membership though so we came the next day for the last night of fright fest. I love the membership option! I'm glad I get to experience the park with my kids like I did with my dad. I do miss the old show at the Blackburn Theater. I always wanted to sing and dance so watching the performers was always my favorite. This year's show was called Toxicity I think. It was more acrobatic but not what I hoped for. Amazing skills none the less. The trampoline skeletons were my favorite lol Can't wait for Holiday in the Park.

I took my boys here for a day on our way back home to Phoenix from Arkansas. I hadn’t been to six Flags since 1996, so my expectations were low based on what I hear people say about the Six Flags brand. Unfortunately, those people are usually comparing six flags to Disneyland. It’s just not a fair comparison. Six Flags Over Texas is a great one day theme park when you factor in the price. We paid $150 for three tickets plus my two year old, which is a third of the cost of Disneyland. The unlimited drink cup is an absolute blessing that every theme park needs to adopt. I was extremely happy with the amount of family/kid friendly rides at the park. That was a big concern for me with smaller children. We spent about six hours in the park on a Monday and rode probably twenty rides total. Early in the week is Devin the way to go. I really wish Six Flags would open a park I. The Phoenix Metro area. We would be frequent customers for sure (Hurricane Harbor doesn’t count).

Hurricane Harbor Arlington stands as North Texas' largest water park, sprawling over an impressive 50 acres filled with thrilling rides and refreshing attractions. This aquatic paradise boasts a staggering one-million-gallon wave pool and features unique areas like Hook's Lagoon, which offers three lagoons, a pirate ship, and 150 interactive elements spread across twelve levels—ensuring that staying dry is nearly impossible!
Pretty fun park and good fries. The family rides on the left of the park are the best. Arrive when it opens for short lines. Floors are a little hot and I don't recommend the side salad.

Visited for my first time on a Friday. Got the Silver Season Pass online that morning (it was the same price as a single-day ticket with parking). WHAT I LIKED: Rolled up about 40 minutes after the park opened. There was no wait to enter the lot or the park itself. Slides were fun and wait times weren't bad (with the exception of Sea Wolf). Lazy river was relaxing, wave pool was fun, and the water temperatures weren't too cold. They honor the All Season Drink Bottle from the Six Flags park. There are lots of lockers which are super conveniently located and easy to access throughout the day. WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE Not near enough shaded chairs / loungers!!! There's lot of shaded picnic tables. The very small amount of shaded seats get snagged by the first people in the park. They are located to the left of the wave pool (chairs) and by Suntan Lagoon (lounge chairs). You can't bring your own tubes for the lazy river but can rent theirs. Not tubes allowed in the wave pool. Some of the best slides require 2 riders. There could be better signage leading to the rides, entrances to the lazy river (some spots are exit only) and restrooms. NOTE: Some slides require you to step on a scale just before placing your tube to be launched.

The park is great for kids of all ages with lots of water areas for playing and swimming. They're are lots of waterslides to choose from, even a mini version of two fun ones for the littles! The only complaint we had was the all day dining tickets had all kinds of issues! It was frustrating, but we still had fun at the park.
Michele M — Google review
Had a blast! Kids loved it since we got there early to get on some of the best slides without a long wait. Also it helps with some shaded seating areas. Went on almost all the slides, the kids splash pad area is really fun even for the bigger kids. Food and drinks are a bit pricey as you would expect but the quality is above average, no complaints. Can't wait to go back!

We came to Hurricane Harbor on a Wednesday and the lines were short for most slides and there was plenty of parking. The staff members we met were respectful and professional. Hurricane Harbor is a fun place but shade is a premium. We rented a locker, the bathrooms are large and clean. With benches for changing.

I have been having fun at this water park for 30 years! We love cooling off with so much to do in one place. The slides are awesome with lots of levels of wild for all ages. Loads of food, treats, shade, lounge chairs, pools, and gear. A must go for summertime joy!
Katy L — Google review
Had a great time here! Ample parking but had to walk a bit from car to park entrance. It would help if there were location identifiers in the parking lot to help remember where cars are parked. Numbered rows or even an animal or shape for zones. Liked all the places for shoes at bottom of rides but they weren't at all the rides.
Melissa M — Google review
Six flag water park, hurricane Harbor. It's the biggest water park in Dallas fort Worth, located in Arlington. It's just on the other side of Six Flags. It has a wave pool, lazy river, a new 2025 kids area, o lot of baby slides to every extreme ones. Lines are long as normal six flag, be patient. The pop corn bucket and soda bottle from six flags can be used here. They also have paid lockers. It's a lot of sun, make sure to bring sunscreen.

We attended a high school playoff game here. It was a great experience. The Budewiser banner and illuminated sign were a little concerning, given UIL rules regarding allowing alcohol to be advertizrd to minors. I'm sure it isn't intentional, but with the number of high school games played here, this signage really should be taken down and or covered or simply turned off.

The architecture is stunning, the atmosphere electric, and the massive retractable roof makes every event unforgettable. From the moment you walk in, everything feels grand — the giant video screens, comfortable seating, and great sound quality. The staff are professional, and the stadium is well maintained with plenty of food and drink options. Parking is well organized, and it’s conveniently located near restaurants, shops, and major stores like Walmart on Randol Mill Road. Whether you’re here for a game, concert, or tour — AT&T Stadium is a must-visit landmark in Texas! 🏈🎶

I had an amazing experience visiting AT&T Stadium for the Dallas Cowboys VIP tour. Our guide, Todd, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable, engaging, and made the tour truly enjoyable. It was incredible getting behind-the-scenes access and seeing the different parts of the stadium up close. From the locker rooms to the field and all the unique details in between, the tour gave me a whole new appreciation for the stadium. Highly recommend this tour if you want to really experience the home of the Cowboys!

We had a really fun time at the game. We had club member seats and did a pretty game Stadium tour which was really interesting. The staff was nice and professional. However a lot of people can't give you directions. They want you to use the map on the app, which is pretty sad. The brisket macaroni and cheese was so good! Highly recommend that. The club member area was really nice, quite, and not very crowded so that was pleasant. I was in a wheelchair, we were supposed to get a handicap chair, and the rep we worked with to get the tickets/tour at the stadium got 4 seats together in a non wheelchair available row. But the attendant seating us was really great and showed us how we can exchange our tickets for a wheelchair seat. Luckily they ended up being next to each other, just separated by the row of stairs so we were all still together. The elevators get really crowded when leaving so if you have a chance get on it no matter which direction it's going. It will eventually go your direction but it's better to get on. Directions around were clear, and people were nice. Overall a pretty fun experience.

I attended a Dallas Cowboys Monday Night Football game in early November, and although the Cowboys didn’t win, the entire experience was absolutely unforgettable. From start to finish, AT&T Stadium lived up to its reputation as one of the most impressive sports venues in the country. I arrived early to soak in the pregame atmosphere at the Miller Lite House, located right outside the stadium gates. The setup was incredible — an open area with a full-size replica Cowboys field, surrounded by bars, food vendors, and fans everywhere. There were plenty of options for drinks, whether you wanted a cold beer, a mixed drink, or something nonalcoholic. Food choices were plentiful and looked great. The Cowboys mascot was out on the field taking photos and interacting with fans, and the live band performing filled the space with music that gave the area the energy of a concert. The crowd was lively, excited, and full of team spirit. The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders even performed a pre-game show that had everyone cheering before kickoff. The whole scene was electric and made the buildup to the game just as fun as the game itself. Once I headed inside, I was lucky enough to have club-level seats, which provided an upscale and comfortable experience. The club area had a sleek, high-end look with stylish decor and an open layout. There were several bars and food stations, including a BBQ spot that felt more like a restaurant than a concession stand. You could actually watch the chefs preparing your food right in front of you, which was a nice touch. The seats themselves were padded, spacious, and offered a great view of the field. But it’s almost impossible not to be mesmerized by the massive HD video board hanging above the field — it’s truly something you have to see in person to appreciate. The atmosphere inside the stadium was beyond anything I’ve experienced at a sporting event. Every detail, from the lighting to the sound system, made the game feel larger than life. The fans were passionate and loud but also welcoming to visiting supporters. As a lifelong Cowboys fan from out of state attending my first game at AT&T Stadium, it was an emotional experience seeing the team take the field in person. One of the most memorable parts of the night was the patriotic display throughout the event. Before kickoff, a massive American flag covered the entire field during the national anthem, followed by President George W. Bush conducting the coin toss. During halftime, Medal of Honor recipients were honored, and country music legend Lee Greenwood performed I’m Proud to Be an American live. The level of pride and respect shown for our country was powerful and gave me chills. Even though the final score wasn’t in our favor, the night was everything I hoped it would be and more. AT&T Stadium isn’t just a football venue — it’s an experience that combines entertainment, tradition, and pride in a way few places can. Whether you’re a lifelong Cowboys fan or just a football lover, this is a must-visit stadium that delivers an unforgettable game-day atmosphere.

Im not a cowboys fan but got free club tickets from a friend. The stadium is very nice and modern. The seats were comfortable. I expected food and drinks to be more than expensive but they were reasonable for ball park pricing. I enjoyed the salute to service and seeing the American Flag that covers the entire field. Overall a great experience.

Came in from out of town. Highly recommend the tour before a big game so you can move around the stadium without the crowds. Learned so much about the facilities. Glad I did that. During game day make sure to check your ticket stub to see what entrance to enter from. The only level that circles all the way around is level 400. If your below that you won't be able to circle to the other side of the stadium once inside due to the private suites and vip sections. During game day get their early and enjoy the Miller Life outdoor party.

Love love love! It's been a dream of mine to see cowboys play in their own field and I made it! We also went to the rally day day before the game and took the tour. So so nice. Lots of information. Lots to see behind the scenes. Our tour guide was ples and Tameka (I think that's her name). Wonderful ladies. Very informative and helpful. I was in a scooter and they made it easy to accommodate me needs. Only issue is there was no food to purchase. Only liquor and maybe water. Upon talking to someone they think it was due to the game being Monday night football. So just be aware that could be a possibility. They did say they usually have food for sale.

This park is awesome for camping we went here on my son's birthday and the campgrounds are very nice and clean and well-maintained and they have really good hiking trails and they have a lake that you can get in it is absolutely beautiful! This place is also good for other trips such as Boy Scout trips which we noticed when we were there a lot of people were taking family trips and group activities such as youth groups and family reunions. Still with all the people the noise level wasn't bad.

We came on 4/25, paid for expedited, the passport arrived today on 5/7. You will need originals and copies of originals front and back. Also you will need a money order for the passport and pay a separate fee for the application (for the application fee you can pay with your debit). Hope this helps. Lastly, their hours are from 8am - 2pm, not 3 as stated in google.

Not friendly. They tell you just what you need to know, nothing helpful. Bring a bank check for passport fee, they don't take cash or credit. BUT they do take credit for their fee and charge you $2 to use! She could have told us this when we had to run to the bank. Also tou have to make copies of your license, any change and old passport- @25cents each. Really.🤨

Ellis County Museum

History Museums
Local museum showcasing the county's heritage, through photographs, historic documents & home tours.
Small museum, but there is plenty to see. I spent an easy 40 minutes looking at all the artifacts they carry. Very cool if you like to know about Texas history.

Every country / city we visit , we always visit the local Museum, to help bring perspective to everything we arr about to see. However, most of everything they had in the museum was II WW memorabilia, which strike me as odd, giving the rich heritage of Waxahachie, Texas. Nonetheless, I do recomend the stop over and enjoy the beautiful southern hospitality at the Museum.

Very cool experience my nephew loved it! We learned so much about Waxahachie a place we grew up in and apparently knew so little about, completely free but they do kindly accept donations.

Water & Amusement Parks
Amusement park
Hawaiian Falls Mansfield, located in The Colony and Garland, Texas, features slides, rides, a wave pool and lazy river. It is set to reopen on June 4th in The Colony and June 5th in Garland. This water park is themed after the tropical paradise of Hawaii and is family-friendly. Limited capacity ensures visitor safety while staying in line with Governor Abbott's recommendation of 25%.
First time to this Hawaiian falls, and we all had a blast , bought season passes w buddy pass . So we all gained from the experience with savings and tons of fun for my 6, 4 and 1 year old. Recommended if your on a friendly budget. And staff at kids area did the best job 👏 🙌

I’ve been a loyal guest at Hawaiian Falls for years and have never had issues—until now. During our recent visit, the park was in poor condition: trash everywhere, filthy restrooms, and an overall unsanitary environment. It was so bad we left within two hours. When I raised my concerns, my family and I felt singled out and disrespected. Although management initially responded, I was only offered a season pass transfer or VIP experience—no refund, despite the seriousness of the situation. I’m leaving this review not out of spite, but in hopes that Hawaiian Falls will take feedback seriously and improve conditions.

The waterpark itself is fun, but most of the staff is very young, customer service here lacks, and you can tell. For example, they sell Pretzels With Cheese... They make you get the Cheese from the Sharkey's Bar, which is a separate line and is normally very long. Then, after you get the Cheese from Sharkey's, you have to go back and stand in line again at Surfside Snack Shack to buy the Pretzel. Why not just pre fill a bunch of cheese containers and keep them in the small warmer with the Churros AT THE SURFSIDE SNACK SHACK. NO ONE WANTS TO GO STAND IN A SEPARATE LINE WHILE THE ICE IN THE DRINKS MELT. Do better Hawaiian Falls.

We brought our daughter here and was pleasantly surprised by how much bigger it was than we thought it would be. I was expecting a tiny little local "neighborhood" feel but this place is actually pretty big. It's like a smaller version of hurricane harbor. My daughter had a lot of fun and we did as well. The blue and yellow big slide was a lot of fun. My only disappointment was the wave pool. We sat in it for about 25 minutes because when the "waves" would start, we assumed those weren't the actual waves considering they were barely noticeable. I mean, literally you can hardly tell there's waves coming, I kept thinking those waves just meant the machines were starting up and the bigger ones were coming soon, but it never happened. I guess with it being a more smaller-kid focused park, it's understandable though.

Great way to spend quality time with your kids... Really great play areas for little kids. I have never had to wait to get in. We like to go early and the wait for the big slides is minimal. The only downside is that if you want to buy lunch there, it always takes forever.

Took incredibly long to ride any rides. Learned later that you could speed up ride time slightly by renting a tube. There are not enough tubes on any of the rides. One ride near wave pool have a deflated tube. I guess if i were to return, I would rent a tube to at least skip the wait on the free tube.

Had a blast! Not crowded so we barely waited for any of the slides, had fresh food, friendly staff and it was very clean :)
