    Pirates Cove Fun Zone

    Wow! We had such a nice time at pirates cove and we didn't even do all the activities! We went…read morelater in the day to meet friends who were staying at Jellystone and we had to park near the jellystone entrance which was just a short walk. Once there we hung out on the smaller kid side and let me son have fun with the smaller slides. He really enjoyed the several options here, but the water pressure didn't always allow him to freely slide down the slides. He had to constantly push himself to keep going down. After a couple hours there we ventured to the bigger side where, to my surprise, my son was tall enough for just about everything! We hung out in the lazy river for awhile then enjoyed all the big slides as most of them had pretty short wait times. The attendants at the slides were all nice. It took awhile sometimes to wait for an inflatable or racing mat for two of the slides, but after you get one you go right away. I actually enjoyed all the stairs too - most of the slides on the big side share the same stairwell, which surprisingly didn't get too crowded, but I got over 15,000 steps for the day going up and down those stairs about 8 times so I appreciated that. It was a nice family place with options for entertainment! We saw that they also had an arcade that we didn't check out, but it seemed like a lot of people were having fun there too. I'd say people of all ages were having a nice time here, especially with the live DJ in the lazy river - so fun!!

    Ahoy Mateys! A Tale of Two Adventures at Pirate Cove in North Texas…read more Arrrr, gather 'round and hear this pirate's tale of feasting and frolicking at Pirate Cove in North Texas! ‍The Grub: - **Crew Size: 4 hungry souls - **Ship: Air-conditioned, ample seating for all Rations Ordered: - Cheese pizza - Grilled cheese - Cheeseburger - Nachos Would I spend my treasure on the food here again? Nay! Here be the verdict: - The pizza had a soggy bottom that would make a ship sink. - The burger was chewier than a sea monster's tentacle. - The nachos were surprisingly good, but hey, even a pirate can't mess up gas station nachos! -There is an arcade inside next to the food that is tons of fun and in the air conditioned building! Sodas: $3 with free refills - definitely worth plundering! The best part is the indoor, air-conditioned hideout. Perfect for escaping the blazing sun and resting your sunburnt bodies. **The Water Park:** - Price: Great value for yer doubloons - Lifeguards: Plenty, and actually doing their job. Some liked to just yell at the adults for fun I think. - Slides: A barrel of fun! - Water: Clean as the seven seas - First Aid:Quick and helpful, even fixed a bloody nose from a flying basketball (Arrr, beware the airborne balls of doom!) **The Bummers:** - Ye have to pay for a float for the lazy river, unless ye be lucky enough to snag a stray one floating by. - They have lockers ye can rent, but bring yer own lock and use it for free, savvy? At least that's what this pirate did. So, if ye be heading to Pirate Cove, pack your own grub, enjoy the refreshing beverages, DONT forget the sunblock and have a swashbuckling good time at the water park. Just beware of soggy pizza and chewy burgers, me hearties! #PirateLife #WaterAdventures #SunburntButHappy

    The park is fairly compact compared to Six Flags Great Adventure which is nice when you're bringing…read moreyounger kids. I was lucky to have came on a fairly slow day. Sept 13, sunday. Park opened at 12pm. It was a heat wave type of day with temps in the high 90s. My kids went on a couple of rides but alot of rides we decided not to go on because the sun made the seats really hot. They should seriously consider putting up tents/shades for the rides. My favorite coasters were the New Texas Giant and Titan. I also went on Mr.Freeze, Pandemonium, Superman,and Tormenta. Tormenta is the newest roller coaster there now but I hated it. The ride was bumpy, not smooth at all and towards the end, when its trying to get back to the station it would stop and go, stop and go, stop and go so many times. If the ride itself didnt give you a headache, that part will. Even though it wasnt busy, wait times for certain coasters and rides were long because they only had 1 car running. Mr. Freeze had a long wait time. Superman had a long wait time even though the app said less than 15 minutes. I waited roughly 30 minutes before i actually got on the ride and that was only because i was a single rider and I asked them if I can cut all the way to the front, after I waited until I was close enough to the front to talk to a worker that was there. I probably cut like 3-5 cars worth of people, each car would take like 8-12 people at a time. There was a good amount of self soda/water refill stations located all over the park. Needs more shade though. My kids (2 and 4yo) enjoyed interacting with the fright fest scary actors. My 4yo was a bit scared at first but the actors were very nice to young kids and gave fist bumps so my kids got very comfortable with them. Even though I was planning on leaving aroubd 7pm, my son wanted to find the "scariest and biggest" monster in the park so we stayed later to walk around the scary atmosphere and we were lucky to find "Cookie and Sparky". The actors mostly concentrate towards the front of the park and Gotham area. My kids enjoyed their day and thats the most important although some things couldve been better. .

    I always struggle reviewing businesses and separating the people working (who were great), from the…read morerides (which were sparse) and the location (which was abysmal since it could take over 2 hours to leave the parking lot). So with that said I'd like to level set what you should expect. The park is clean, reasonably priced, and has about 4 rides you'll write home about. The park is mainly limited by space since it's in the greater Dallas area. It was fun and you'll make memories. But it's best to take this park for what it is and not compare it to other parks. It's great for 4-7 hours.

    This was an absolutely wonderful experience. Lots of learning opportunities for the kids, every kid…read morewe saw was totally engaged and excited. Not all job sites are open at once but the QR code which led to the live schedule made it very easy to plan ahead on what to do. We went on a Thursday and it wasn't too hectic, plenty of opportunities to do different activities and no long waits. Generally, there was one staff per room which is plenty when the maximum kids allowed was 6. In the rooms where they allowed 10 or more, there were 2 or 3 staff. Wristbands and credit cards kept everything well organized, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the entire site was very clean. Highly recommend for an educational and entertaining experience. Fun fact - the airplane that you see at the entrance is a refurbished real plane donated by American Airlines, and you go inside the plane for the pilot training which had an impressive flight simulator.

    I took my godchildren to KidZania, and they had an absolute blast! From start to finish, they were…read moreengaged, having fun, and learning through all the different interactive experiences. That said, navigating the activities could be a bit confusing at times. It would be really helpful if there were a more structured flow or even a chaperone to guide families through the different experiences. Also, some of the features weren't open, and it wasn't always clear when kids could participate in certain activities. If it wasn't for Regan we would have been completely lost Even with that, the kids truly enjoyed themselves, which made it worth it. There were still plenty of things to do, and they stayed excited the entire time. I would definitely bring them back so they can experience even more of what KidZania has to offer.
