Amaze yourself as you explore some of the most interesting, bizarre and curious items and phenomena that the world has to offer through the eyes and extensive travels of legendary Robert Ripley at the ever so popular Ripley's Believe It or Not! exhibitions, brought to you at the local offering in Grand Prairie and a must stop on your fun list while in the Arlington area. As you enter the world-renowned Odditorium, your imagination will perform back-flips as you browse 7,000 square feet of oddities, 12 galleries of uniqueness, a 7D Moving Theater, the Mirror Maze, tons of hands-on interactives, the delicious sweet Candy Factory, meet the stars at Louis Tussauds Palace of Wax as you walk through their wickedly spinning vortex tunnel. You'll have a blast, believe it or not!
Enjoy a low-key but fun family day out when you head to Woodland West Outdoor Park and the Dottie Lynn Rec Center. Pack a picnic lunch and make sure the kids bring their frisbees or footballs so that they can play in the park's outdoor field areas. Also, remember the swimwear since the pool is open in the summer, and making a splash is the perfect way to cool off. Other amenities include playground equipment, a tennis court, restrooms, and a basketball court.
