Few experiences evoke the feeling of “summer” quite like a day at the waterpark. Epic Waters, already recognized as North Texas’ top waterpark destination, recently received national acclaim as the No. 2 indoor waterpark in the U.S., as reported by USA TODAY. As one of the flagship attractions at EpicCentral, this 80,000-square-foot waterpark attracts visitors from Texas, across the U.S., and internationally.

Open year-round beneath its iconic retractable roof offering weatherproof fun, Epic Waters features 11 water slides, North Texas’ longest indoor lazy river, the FlowRider surf simulator and an outdoor wave pool. Soaring glass walls and elevated attractions offer sweeping views of EpicCentral and the Dallas skyline, creating a one-of-a-kind setting for celebrating the coolest day of summer.

Epic Waters is a signature destination of EpicCentral, a 172-acre recreation and entertainment development owned by the City of Grand Prairie that is growing in prominence as a top destination for North Texas, particularly in the southern Dallas-Fort Worth sector. Centrally located off Highway 161 north of I-20, EpicCentral boasts adventure parks, waterfront dining for all budgets, special events, live music, scenic paths, play spaces and green spaces, hotels, an event and convention center, and Illuvia, a nightly Vegas-style water and light show. In addition to Epic Waters, notable EpicCentral destinations include Bolder Adventure Park, PlayGrand Adventures, and Chicken N Pickle, along with dining options including Vidorra, Serious Eats and The Finch.
