It’s going to be an epic spring break at EpicCentral Grand Prairie, where visitors of all ages will have access to tons of free and affordable family fun, adventure, and learning from morning to night. Throughout the month of March, visitors to the development that is home to Epic Waters Indoor Waterpark and The Epic can enjoy one-of-kind thrilling waterslides, swimming movies, arcade games, contests, and classes—and much more, regardless of weather conditions.

Just in time for spring break, Epic Waters and The Epic are introducing a new “wet and dry” Epic Combo Pass, which offers discounted extended all-day access to both venues, with opportunities to go back and forth between the walkable destinations to sample both special spring break programming and regular activities and attractions throughout the day—regardless of the weather, since most of the activities and attractions are indoors.

Activities planned between March 8 and March 24 that are featured as part of the Epic Combo ticket include dance and hula hoop contests, arcade challenges, family gameroom activities, indoor and outdoor movie screenings*, an outdoor concert*, goat yoga*, recording studio tours, internet radio station broadcasts, open athletic court play, hoop shooting on the court and in the water, fitness classes (CrossFit, Zumba, and yoga), ping-pong/chess/checkers/cornhole play, and make-and-take art classes.

There will also be a number of fee-upgrade options available, such as private cabana seating at Epic Waters, painting and pottery classes, March Madness watch parties (at Crompton’s Pub at The Epic), cooking classes for kids and adults, a singing workshop, concerts, Parents’ Night Out (featuring babysitting with kids’ activities), basketball and futsal camps.

PRICING AND MORE INFORMATION: The Epic Combo Pass is available for $30/$40 each for adults and kids over 48 inches and $25/$35 each for kids under 48 inches (Grand Prairie resident and non-residents, respectively). Children three and under get in free. Online pre-purchase of Epic Combo tickets is highly recommended. To learn more, visit epicwatersgp.com or jointheepic.com, or call 972-337-3131.
