Had our first visit and was impressed by it! It is a family friend center that is spacious, and…read morehas four different areas for kids and adults of all ages. They also had several rooms where you can host birthday parties and an upstairs floor with additional seating to eat and hangout. It is nice because the whole place is indoors so you can always enjoy the place in all weather conditions, which is great if you're looking for entertainment as a family. All the staff were really nice, and helpful, including the lifeguards. You can bring in your own coolers of food, drinks, etc. just no glassware, which helps on costs too. I'd definitely recommend if you're looking for a nice, clean indoor swimming!

This place is leaps and bounds better than Epic waters!!!…read more Clean, TONS AND TONS of life guards, a perfect split, one side adults and older kids, middle is the surfing, next to that is the 5-9 yr old and the farthest left ( judging from when you walk in the doors and look left) is where the babies, infants and toddlers have their space The food was better than expected! Normal price point (about $10) They have a $12 souvenir cup you can buy and it's unlimited refills every-time you come. The burger comes on a really yummy almost Hawaiian bread bun! It's big and comes with a ton of fries You can also bring food in as well as a cooler Adult drinks can be found upstairs Tables downstairs are free and far between and some folks were simply just not raised right so they will see your items, see that your sitting their and as soon as you get up, they will take your chair. Rude! Bought a summer family session pass non resident $300 for 2 adults and up to 4 kids who live in your house hold! Worth it!!

There's an area for diving off the diving board, an area for a smaller children, lazy river for all ages and a water slide. That looks really interesting. I didn't go on that one but yeah, it's really nice. Lots of grassy area so if you wanna picnic out there, while enjoying the water. There's lounging chairs that go pretty quickly as well as the tubes for the lazy river. The lifeguards are very nice very well trained, constantly looking, constantly watching everyone to make sure no one is in distress. And yes, there are a lot of lifeguards which is really great considering how many people are there. There are rules to to the aquatic center too many for me to mention here, but if you want to check it out, go to their website. When I checked on the website, for the past couple days, it said it was closed, but the best thing to do is call to make sure it is open. Even the day I went the website online said it was closed. Before you reach the aquatic center you wind your way through the park that is very beautiful and very clean.

No need to record because they do it for you (and you can buy your video sessions/pics for extra).

Sigh . . . The City of Dallas is talking about closing down community pools are prides themselves…read moreabout this flagship water park. However the cost keeps going up, and the amenities keep going down. Now they charge $20 no matter the size of the cooler. You can't bring in your own float devices but at the same time, there's never enough tubes for the lazy river. This last visit, I want to say there were 10 and the life guard mentioned people taking them out the water to their tables & chairs. There were also lots of tubes deflated. The structure needs to be updated and walls are crumbling and falling apart. Seriously, this place needs a make over especially if we are closing the affordable community pools and pushing folks to these places.

Admittedly, the ticket buying process is a bit cumbersome on site. And parking is ridiculously inadequate. BUT, once you actually get inside, it's so much fun.

Why 4 stars? Because it's a nice in-between option if you don't want to go into full Great Wolf…read moreLodge mode. --- --- --- We were heading up to DFW to pick up a puppy and wanted to give our 6 year old son something a little fun to do for coming along the 7-ish hour round trip ride with us. He loves waterparks more than anything in life, but we've already been to Great Wolf Lodge on multiple occasions, and we preferred to book with Bonvoy points over shelling out the cash for GWL. Plus, we didn't have a ton of waterpark time on the schedule - win, win, win. One thing that was frustrating is that there was zero record anywhere on the internet of the height requirement for the slides here. Well, internet, I'm here to save you with the answers. We have a son that was 43" as of this visit, and he would be crushed to get his hopes up about doing these slides, only to find out that he's not allowed to. There's one big water "castle" with 3 slides. Those requirements are 42". We actually came here a couple of years ago and he definitely did those slides then, and he was most certainly not 42" then. So I'm not sure if they just changed these or they just weren't enforcing the rules in 2023, but they definitely were measuring him on this visit. Then there's one bigger water slide that's stand alone. The requirements are that you have to be 48" to ride freely, but 42-47" is ok with a life jacket. And then the same restrictions apply to the zip line where you can jump in the water after hanging from several feet above the water. The annoying thing about this was that we were there early in the morning and were the only ones doing it. Yet the lifeguard literally measured my son each time he walked up, despite the fact that he was literally doing it over and over again with no one else around. Make it make sense. Overall, this is not the most amazing waterpark you'll find. But when you book with points, all you have to pay is the resort fee and for parking. It's pretty good bang for your buck when you think about it in those terms.

There's actual dinosaur tracks preserved in the rock at Dinosaur Valley State Park, and that just adds even more fun to the experience! We went for the day and the entrance fee was $8 per adult. They accept cards and cash at the Ranger Station. Prior to arriving I tried to buy tickets online, but I kept only seeing tickets for overnight camping. Nonetheless, we were still able to pay at the entrance and we were even able to get out and use the restroom facilities at the entrance. Once you pay your entrance fee, a ranger will give you a trail map. There is ample parking inside the park, so there are lots of possibilities on where to start your adventure. We started on the Pawluxy River trail and crossed over to the main track site where the dinosaur prints are very clear. The river crossing has slightly protruding rocks that you have to navigate on foot to get across the river. I wore hiking boots and I think this was ideal for the environment. From there we switched to the overlook trail where the elevation is 850 ft, so you get a great view of the whole Pawluxy River Valley. From there we descended to the Black-capped Vireo Trail, then crossed the Pawluxy River to make our way back to our car. While there's endless combinations of hikes you can take, ours took about 3 hours. Along the way there were lots of people. Mostly gathered at the river and at the tracks. The rest of the trails were actually very quiet and peaceful. In addition to hiking, there are other points of interest. There are dinosaur models, a swimming hole and of course multiple dinosaur track sites. Overall, Dinosaur Valley is a great state park with something for everyone!

They do not have a concession stand, however, you are more than welcome to bring in your coolers and food to enjoy a day there. Despite people bringing in food, the pool and the pool area was clean.
