Part of EpicCentral, Grand Prairie’s 172-acre dining and entertainment district, Epic Waters is the largest indoor waterpark in North Texas. In addition to its slides and wave pool, the park features a multi-level play fort for kids, a 50-plus game arcade, a full-service café and bar and private cabanas. The popular destination was recently named the number three indoor waterpark in the nation by USA Today and the number two indoor waterpark by Newsweek.
