Whether you prefer cooling down with the wind blowing in your face as you soar on a roller coaster or you’d rather jump down a water slide face first so you can catapult into the refreshing pool below, there’s an amusement park in Dallas for you. You can stick to what you know and love by heading over to Six Flags Over Texas or try something with a bit of a Texas touch at Fair Park. Want a more “adult” amusement park that’s got massages and saunas but also has crazy rides? Spend the day at the King Spa & Water Park, which has a play pool filled with slides but also the Bade Pool complete with poolside bar. There’s no better way to spend a day in Dallas than at one of the following amusement parks. CDC information for travelers. Hours/availability may have changed.
1.King Spa & Water Park
King Spa & Water Park is not your typical amusement park filled with only those thrilling rides that everyone loves. They do have all of that, but they also have a serene, calmer section to just unwind, get massages, and float around as you sip drinks from the poolside bar. It’s the perfect combination of exhilarating waterslides and relaxing lounges. Popular aspects and services include the Base Rock Room, the Bade Pool, a play pool, and the Fire Sudatorium. The park is open all year long, though timings do vary for the waterpark, sauna, and spa; when going with younger children, keep in mind that the play pool is only open Friday to Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.

2.LEGOLAND Discovery Center
Legos are loved by people of all ages, so if you’re in Dallas and looking for a way to spend the day with the kids or with your coworkers, head over to LEGOLAND Discovery Center. It is the ultimate indoor playground and has three rides, a 4D cinema, ten Lego build and play zones, and much more. The spectacular MINILAND is a popular attraction and is built with over 1.5 million Legos; while there, don’t be surprised when airships swoop down from above! Younger visitors will love helping rescue the captured princess in Kingdom Quest but will need to be wary of the beastly trolls that pop up along the way. The entire family will enjoy exploring LEGOLAND, where anything is possible.

3.Amusement Parks Near Dallas: NRH20
Get ready for a day of splashing down slides, lazing around on floats, and just watering off that hot summer heat at NRH20. Entrance to the family waterpark ranges between $20 and $30 depending on height, age, and whether you purchase tickets online or at the entrance booth. The Sidewinder is the first place all the thrill-seekers head to; it’s a 330-foot-long body slide that catapults the rider down and then drops them in a 60-foot freefall. If you’re looking for something calmer, head to Beachside Bay, where you can sunbathe on the white sand beach or play a game of sand volleyball.

The park has been around since 1961 and has 45 rides and attractions, including ten roller coasters and three water rides. The Joker is one of the most sought-out attractions there and flips riders head over heels as they go on a chaotic ride that wreaks havoc, just like the Joker. Passes can be purchased for the day or for the season; even better, they offer the additional Flash Pass that you can buy so you don’t have to spend time waiting in line.
