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.

If you've got a future scientist in the family, or even if you and your brood just love stargazing, then a trip to the Planetarium at UT Arlington will prove to be the perfect intergalactic adventure. The out-of-this-world tool makes it possible to get an unbelievably close view of various stars and planets through their highly-powered telescope that is projected onscreen in the 165-seat viewing area. Also, the dome animation show is absolutely stunning. The Planetarium at UT Arlington does an excellent job of bringing the adventure of outer space up close for you and your family to discover and learn.
