There are many imitators but only one original Six Flags Over Texas. Affectionately referred to as "The Entertainment Capital of Texas," this iconic park sprawls out over 200 acres and includes rides, shows, attractions, and entertainment. The Texas Giant is the big rollercoaster that has been getting lots of attention lately, so make sure you get ready for a wild ride you'll want to experience again and again. There's also the Batman ride, the Roaring Rapids, and Yosemite Sam's Gold River Adventure to choose from, just to name a few of the fun-tastic rides you'll find when you visit this classic park.

The Arlington Museum of Art has maintained an impressive tradition of fostering the creativity of artists from all around the world and then giving them a venue in which their work can be appreciated. This museum and art attraction maintains an active schedule of various exhibits, programs and events all designed to further the importance of artistic expression in the community. There are also special presentations for students and various groups, as well as classes and other special events throughout the year that serve to underscore the importance of art in all of our lives.

One of Arlington's most popular annual events is the Cardboard Boat Regatta. Yes, that's real cardboard that all of these vessels are made out of, and the crowds show up in droves to see who will sink and who will stay afloat this time around. It is sponsored by River Legacy Parks, and teams explore the characteristics of cardboard and the challenge it presents when constructed as a boat meant to stay afloat. And, thankfully, since not all cardboard boats float, there are plenty of rescue teams on hand for the event to safely return contestants back to shore.

Get behind the wheel of one of the many go-karts at Putt-Putt Fun Center and you'll waste no time putting the pedal to the metal! This fun go-kart track is perfect for all ages and skill levels, and of course, it is tightly supervised to ensure everyone's safety. When you're at Putt Putt, remember to play a round of miniature golf as well as all the other great games available at this family-friendly recreation venue.
