June 16, 2026—Grand Prairie has never been content to stand still. The city that built one of North Texas’ most ambitious entertainment destinations from the ground up is at it again — this time, they’re building something you’ll need to look up to fully appreciate.
City Council recently approved plans for a brand-new 360-degree immersive dome theater at EpicCentral, and the entertainment world is taking notice. Planned as a standalone destination within the district, the venue is expected to seat 400 people and offer immersive visual programming that surrounds audiences in a fully enclosed dome environment, according to NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth.
Think of it as cinema — only the screen wraps completely around you. The proposed dome will feature 360-degree projection technology that immerses guests in stunning visuals, sound, and storytelling from every direction, with experiences designed to entertain, educate, and inspire audiences of all ages. It’s the kind of attraction that turns a day trip into a destination event, according to Aqilfitnesstrainingsolutions.
City officials note there are few comparable venues in Texas, with the closest being the Omni Theater in Fort Worth. That alone underscores how significant this addition is — not just for EpicCentral, but for the entire DFW entertainment landscape. As immersive entertainment continues to grow worldwide, Grand Prairie’s investment in innovative attractions reflects the city’s commitment to creating experiences that cannot be replicated at home.
The dome is slated for the GrandLawn area of EpicCentral, a green space that has already hosted everything from life-sized animatronic dinosaur exhibits to live concerts. City officials have not yet released construction plans or a timeline for opening, but the approval itself signals serious momentum. Stay tuned to EpicCentral.com for updates as this project develops.
A tip of the hat is absolutely in order for Grand Prairie’s city leadership — Mayor Ron Jensen and the City Council — for continuing to invest boldly in experiences that put this city on the Texas entertainment map. What they’ve built at EpicCentral isn’t an accident; it’s the result of intentional, visionary leadership that has made Grand Prairie one of the state’s top entertainment destinations.
New to EpicCentral? Here’s What You’re Missing.
In the heart of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, Grand Prairie has emerged as a recognized leader in entertainment-centered economic development, transforming into a premier destination that rivals major entertainment hubs across Texas. At the center of it all is EpicCentral — a 172-acre entertainment district spanning parks, waterfront dining, concerts, hotels, and a Vegas-style water show. Strategically located off Highway 161 between Dallas and Fort Worth, it’s accessible from virtually anywhere in the Metroplex in under 30 minutes.
What sets EpicCentral apart is the sheer breadth of what it offers — under one roof, or rather, across 172 acres of open sky and covered adventure. The district features a stunning Vegas-style water and light show called Illuvia, complete with cascading fountains and a 26-foot LED wall — the first of its kind in North America. Epic Waters, one of the country’s top-rated indoor waterparks, operates year-round, rain or shine. Bolder Adventure Park delivers North Texas’ largest indoor climbing and zip-line experience. Topgolf now anchors the corridor. And free attractions like PlayGrand Adventures and the Jambox music stage mean there’s something here for every budget and every age.
The dome is the next chapter. And if EpicCentral’s track record means anything, it’ll be worth the wait.
