Fielder Church - Grand Prairie

If you are looking for great bartenders, fair prices and a great time then Showdown Saloon is exactly what you expect and when you pull up you know you've come to the right place for the night. It is a constantly interesting and invariably diverse mix of University of Texas Arlington students, "regulars" and interesting characters and always a go-to spot for many and waiting for you tonight. Showdown often runs specials such as the Happy Minutes, UTA Day and the Mug Club and that is in addition to the already great prices. They also have a bar-style menu that will do the trick when you need a late, fried up snack, free peanuts, pool tables, a great jukebox and good music and even a place where you can do your laundry. Drive on by and experience the dive/biker feel, a welcoming outside covered area and all in all a good hole-in-the-wall bar. 

A day at Six Flags Hurricane Harbor is one sure way to stay cool in the Texas heat! This water park features several exciting water slides and pools as well as a kiddie pool area for the park's smaller guests. The intensity of these rides is fair to medium, meaning that it's perfect for younger kids. Fun attractions include Boogie Beach that features volleyball and music, and a Lazy River where you can float along on a tube at a leisurely pace. Also, don't miss the Hook's Lagoon interactive adventure, too.

One of Arlington's most historic sites is the Fielder House. It is still standing quite impressively, as it has a wealth of stories and history that have echoed across the years. The house has the distinction of being one of the earliest brick homes in the city that was equipped with an impressive set of amenities that included electrical lighting, central heating, a hot water system and indoor plumbing. Walking through this historic attraction is like traversing time, so take a little time to explore one of Arlington's true artifacts that has withstood the test of time.

Want to strike out in a good way? Then make it a date to Alley Cats, Arlington's favorite place to bowl! The state-of-the-art scoring and incredibly well-maintained lanes will ensure that your game will be a truly enjoyable experience. In addition to an excellent gaming room, Alley Cats offers laser tag and putt putt golf that will keep the kids busy while you bowl an extra game.
