Safari Splash - Great splash pad!

Safari Splash

Such a fun place to cool off and let the littles get their energy out while at the zoo! Well worth…read moreevery penny! ($5 for zoo members, $6 for non-members). I'd say good size for around 10yrs old and under. Ample seating, clean restrooms, a small store with toys & necessities that may have been forgotten, & a small food station with sandwiches, hot dogs, dipping dots, etc. Lots of slides, fountains, waterfalls, & skirting animal heads. Believe I heard 12yrs old is oldest that can be on the slides. They have a couple of covered cabanas ($50 for 2 hours) as well as larger covered patio that can be rented. My 4yr old nephew had an absolute blast and must have gone down the slides over a hundred times. He could have kept going for hours more if we let him. We packed a lunch which saved money. Kids split a small dipping dots for $5.75. I Highly recommend you go if you have little kids and want to cool off during the hot summer days while at the zoo.

If you're going to the zoo with little ones, Safari Splash is totally worth the extra $5 with zoo…read moreadmission. If you're a zoo member, it's $4 (kids 2 and under are always free). This little splash pad is great fun if it's not too crowded and you can get a couple chairs. There's plenty of shade around the chairs and tables, and there's a few rentable cabanas as well -- $40 for 2 hours and $15 for each additional hour. Totally worth it to guarantee a shady spot to rest and eat! They say the cabanas hold 10 people but I think that'd be pretty crowded. They look more suited for 6 guests when you consider most people have bags, towels, strollers, and small ice chests to store as well. The splash pad itself is small, this isn't a huge water park. Seems best for little kids, like 10 and under. Most kids we saw were probably under 7. Lots of little toddlers! The bigger kids spend most of their time up in the main playground and on the bigger slides, leaving the outskirts of the pad to the little ones. There's a few toddler stations and itty bitty slides, perfect for babies with some supervision. Just be on alert, there's always a big kid or 3 that'll come barreling through at any moment. There are no pools here, no lazy river. It's all splash pad! 14,000 square feet; a "water play area equipped with four slides, a water dump tower, a fill wall for your water toys, animal-shaped water cannons, and a designated toddler play area." There's also concessions; sandwiches, chips, drinks. And a little stand that has anything you might have left at home: swimsuits, towels, goggles, sunscreen, swim diapers... We had the best time here. We were lucky enough to visit when it wasn't packed. Even though it's brutally hot out, we stayed cool in the shade after being splashed. We're zoo members so we'll definitely be back.

I use to ride this train as a child with my parents, now I take my own daughter whenever we're in…read moretown. She's only an infant now, but loves looking around and trying to touch the plants and trees that we pass. I will definitely continue to take her back as she gets older. It's nothing amazing, and only goes about 20 mph, so for adults or older kids it may be boring. But it's a great treat before or after the zoo. My parents use to take me after a long day at the zoo to wind down before going home. It's such a Ft. Worth staple and hopefully will stay for a long time. $4 for adults, $3.50 for kids 1yr and older, cash only Their hours vary a bit depending on the season and weather conditions. So it's just best to call if you're not sure. As of this summer they are open Wed-Sun 9am and will close early if it gets too hot. Parking is plentiful and right next to it, but it's in an unpaved gravel lot.

Fun little open-air train that starts near the Fort Worth zoo and follows a 40 minute out and back…read moreroute along the trinity river and Trinity Park. Beautiful views and a pleasant ride, if you're willing to sacrifice a bit of comfort. My 6'1" husband's legs barely fit in the train and my butt was numb by the end, but it was a small price to pay for the joy of the ride. My kids thought it was the most fun thing they'd done in a while, and we do lots of fun things. Whether or not you consider this to be an expensive activity probably depends on how many kids you have. I read a few reviews that thought this was cheap fun, but we paid $37 for our family of 7. Ouch! FYI the current prices (as of Feb 2020 anyway) are $5 per kid and $6 per adults. CASH ONLY. FYI: I think there used to be two pick up stations but the day we went the train was only picking up from the zoo station. The train left every hour on the hour, with the last departure at 4pm. The train was definitely full to capacity, so I would advise arriving 15 min before departure so you can be there when the previous train arrives and snag your seats together.

I love everything about Rogue Bricks! From the people and great prices to the awesome selection of…read moreLEGO sets, this store has it all. Everyone is always so nice, and I love stopping by. I come here every week and will definitely keep coming back. Highly recommend it to any LEGO fan!

Ok, to be fair, I know this is a specialty shop, so for that in regard to stock…read more... 3 stars for the boxed goods, as they have some but it's not extensive. 5 starts for the amount of single piece items that can be bought or used in the "make your own" set up. Little bricks EVERYWHERE and in all sorts of bins on both levels. Also has so many totes full of bricks on shelves. They also have a LOT of the small Lego figurines. 4 stars for the staff, friendly, but shortly maned. We stood at the counter to purchase a few items for quit some time. 2 stars for pricing on the box items. Some of the items in this store had almost a 40-50% mark up. One item that we recently purchased at a box chain store was $20 more at this store than it was where we purchased it. EEK! They do have a lot of premade items in glass shelves, a lot of Star Wars items, all are a gem to look at, as it gives a better perspective of the actual size of the boxed items. Another point that should be recognized, this is a family owned store that sales Legos products, they are not an actual Legos store. Something to keep in mind when you purchase items at the given mark up. Being a specialty shop, they only pay the bills from the sale of Legos, and nothing else. It's worth supporting these guys to keep them in business. One thing they do have, is a build your own model, which is a great option for children parties and such. I don't recall the price, I did see some set pricing, but listening to another speak to the employees, it almost sound like weight or volume based on pricing. It's not like they can count each lego used to build the child specific toy. It's fun little store. Dusty, be ready for that.
