Epic Waters has been nominated as Best Big Water Park for a Party in DFWChild’s 2018 Best for Families: Kids Parties.
Help us turn the nomination into a win! Submit your vote for DFW’s newest, most EPIC place to host a party here! Contest closes on Friday, June 22.
Epic Waters offers a year-round splash-tastic time! Referred to as a “cruise ship on land,’ there is something for every member of the family. Eleven waterslides are featured on the waterpark’s slide tower, and three slides are ‘first of their kind’ within the waterpark industry. An outdoor wave pool will be sure to excite, as well as birthday parties, private rentals, and events that will be held year-round.
Epic Waters is home to one-of-a-kind features like the body slide Lassoloop, the “tallest indoor Aqualoop” in the country,” and the twisty-turvy Yellow Jacket Drop, which is a combination of the popular Boomerango and Constrictor features and gives you the feeling like you’re floating in air! If the water features aren’t enough, check out the park’s Twilight Swim and Family Fun Friday events.
The Grand Prairie Farmers Market will be open from 8am – 2pm on Saturday, June 2 at Market Square, 120 W. Main Street, featuring a crawfish boil from 10am – 2pm prepared by Dustin Clement’s Head’s or Tails Cajun Crawfish. The event will also feature live music, gift market, arts and crafts, and games. The tasty crawfish, which will be available beginning at 10am, will be sold for $10 a pound and will be accompanied with potatoes and corn.
Remember Kechi from America’s Got Talent?
See Kechi LIVE in concert on May 5 at the Uptown Theater. An Evening with Kechi, presented by Baylor Orthopedic and Spine Hospital at Arlington and Landscape Structures Incorporated, is a fundraiser for the PlayGrand Adventures Foundation. PlayGrand Adventures is the largest all-inclusive playground being planned for Dallas-Ft. Worth, and will have many unique components to be enjoyed by all ages and abilities.
Kechi was a finalist on America’s Got Talent in 2017. As a teenager, she was only one of two survivors in a plane crash that killed 107 people. Despite visible burns on more than 65% of her body, Kechi bravely appeared on the televised talent show and continued to wow the judges and America as they voted her into the finals. The evening will feature a raffle, an auction, specialty drinks, and an additional performance on some of the outdoor musical instruments that will be installed on the playground site.
Concert-goers can purchase tickets at two levels: VIP tickets for $75 which gives preferred seating and a meet and greet with Kechi at a reception. Or, general admission tickets at $50. To purchase tickets or for more information, call The Uptown Theater at 972-237-8786 or visit https://UptownTheaterGP.com.
