There’s nothing better to wile away the stresses of life like the soft lull of an inner tube in warm water and a gentle current. However, I find myself drawn to the Rio Grand Lazy River. Teens and adults ascend to the top of the water slides – five in total – upwards of 80’ feet tall, and not for the timid (LassoLoop, Yellowjacket Drop, and Aquanaut are industry firsts!). The big kids happily ride the shark and shoot hoops in the activity pool.

Babies and toddlers enjoy the Rascal’s Round-Up – a multilevel climbing structure with multiple slides, interactive play, and a bucket dump. “Fun for all ages” dutifully describes this must-see-and-do recreation center. Epic it is, especially for the fun-seeking family. Situated off of President George Bush Turnpike and Arkansas Lane in Grand Prairie sits EPIC WATERS Indoor Waterpark. Mexico? Florida? A Caribbean cruise? If only we had a week to get away… The warm, humid air, the sound of flowing water, a plethora of patio chairs and beach towels, and a stocked bar to my left. I look around and I can’t help but notice that the excitement and anticipation is contagious. My husband’s eyes light up like a child’s and a mischievous grin spreads across his face. My five month old starts babbling and kicking in the carrier. “This is amazing!” exclaims my three year old, Sadie, as we walk through the doors. In Grand Prairie, TX sits EPIC WATERS Indoor Waterpark.
