Are you planning a trip to Arlington, Texas? If so, here are 3 fun things to do in Arlington:
Visit Six Flags Over Texas. Six Flags amusement park, located in Arlington, Texas will keep your family entertained for an entire day. This amusement park has it all, from Ferris wheels to boat ride caves. This park even holds several roller coasters, a variety of sizes for a variety of dare devils and provides an old-timers car ride for those less likely to take risks. When you get hungry, all you have to do is grab a hot dog at the nearest vendor, or you can sit down to a full meal, if you like. This park also provides a picnic area outside the gates, so you can just get your hand stamped and return for more fun once you have eaten and rested from a hard day of play. Be sure to look for discounts on specially marked Coca-Cola cans. Too, the best time to visit this amusement park is during off season because you can get on the rides much quicker. If you go during peak season, the amusement park leaves you baking in the hot sun for approximately 2 hours before you get on each ride, so save yourself the hassle and avoid the crowd.
