T-Bar Fence & Tennis Courts

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.

Skating is a great way to get some exercise while having a lot of fun with a date, or the whole family. This is an enjoyable experience, no matter what the skill level is. Arlington Skatium offers a friendly and safe recreation environment in which to skate (or learn how). Skate rental is available as well as a rest area and a place to enjoy some concessions before you get back out on the rink for more fun.

Arlington's Holiday Lights Parade is a family favorite. The city officially illuminates its Christmas tree and the event provides lots of family activities and entertainment provided free of charge. The celebration includes live music, free carriage rides, face painting and even free photos with Santa. Grab your eggnog and warm coat and get ready for some holiday cheer, North Texas style!

If you love the theater but hate the crowds, you'll absolutely love taking in a performance at Theatre Arlington. This venue offers highly personal theatrical experience, as there are only 200 seats in this quaint little theater that make every performance an intimate affair. On-stage entertainment ranges from excellent family fare to provocative adults-only productions, but either way, you won't miss a minute of the drama that will unfold right before your eyes.
