Toddler to Teen: 5 DFW Spots Where Kids of All Ages Have Fun (2026)

1 min read

Your four-year-old wants the bounce house and your thirteen-year-old rolls her eyes the second she hears the word. So you sit in the parking lot adding up tickets for a place where one kid will play and the other will stare at a phone for two hours.

Big age gaps make weekend plans in Dallas-Fort Worth hard because most places here pick one age group and build everything for it. When the soft play area bores your teenager and the ropes course turns away anyone under 48 inches, you end up splitting the family in half or paying for two outings in one weekend.

This guide covers things to do in DFW with kids of all ages. Each of the five places below gives a toddler and a teenager something they'd pick for themselves, and a GetOut membership for Texas DFW gets your family into all of them. If money is the bigger worry this fall, we went through the budget side in our guide to weekend fun in DFW that survives your school-year budget.

Why Age Gaps Make DFW Weekends Harder

Siblings born two years apart can usually agree on a plan. Once the gap stretches to six or eight years, you start hitting problems like these:

  • Height and age rules. Plenty of attractions set a 42- or 48-inch minimum or want kids to be at least five, so your youngest ends up sitting on a bench.
  • Rooms teens won't walk into. Anyone over ten looks at a splash pad or a soft play area and sees little-kid territory.
  • Paying twice. You buy a full ticket for a child who spends the visit waiting on a sibling.
  • Different stamina. Toddlers tend to fall apart around the 90-minute mark, right about when a teenager starts to warm up.

The places that hold up for mixed ages give each kid a space of their own inside one building, or they put the whole family into a single activity that works at any skill level. Each pick below does at least one of those.

5 DFW Spots That Work From Toddler to Teen

1. Vellix Adventure Park, Hurst

Where: 650 Grapevine Hwy, Hurst, TX 76054, in Mayfair Village GetOut visits: 1x yearly

Vellix opened in fall 2025. The 20,000-square-foot building mixes a trampoline park with VR games and climbing walls that talk back to you. Parents who leave reviews keep coming back to one point: their five-year-old and their thirteen-year-old both wanted to stay longer.

Here's what your kids will find inside:

  • A Softplay Area with tunnels and slides sized for toddlers, next to the Sky Tykes ropes course, which keeps every obstacle low enough that you can stand right underneath.
  • A Tykes pass for kids 40 inches and under, so you don't pay full price for a child who can't reach half the attractions.
  • Herozone, a free-roam VR arena where older kids walk around and fight battles with no cables holding them back.
  • Valo Climb, which turns every route up the wall into a video game on a giant screen, and Valo Arena, where the player's body becomes the controller.
  • The Sky Trail ropes course and the Strike Arena obstacle course for kids who want to race each other.
  • A $10 Parent Pass if you'd like to get on the equipment yourself. You can supervise little ones in soft play and Sky Tykes without one.

Before you go:

  • Vellix requires its own grip socks, which you buy at the desk and can wash and bring back on later visits.
  • Anybody climbing the ropes courses needs closed-toe shoes that hold the heel in place.
  • Weekday hours start at 4 p.m., and Saturday opens at 10 a.m.
  • Once you walk out you can't come back in, so plan on eating at the café inside.
  • Open the GetOut app before you drive over and check which pass your membership covers.

2. StarCenter Public Skating, 8 Rinks Across the Metroplex

Where: Frisco, Plano, Farmers Branch, Mansfield, Euless, Northlake, Irving and McKinney GetOut visits: 2x yearly

Ice skating puts the whole family on the same sheet of ice at whatever pace each kid can manage. Your six-year-old can hold onto a skating aid near the wall and your teenager can practice going backward a few feet away, and nobody has to wait in the lobby.

The StarCenter rinks belong to the Dallas Stars' network of community rinks. GetOut covers public skating at eight of them, which puts one within a short drive of most DFW neighborhoods.

What to know:

  • Beginners of any age can use skating aids in the bucket zones, which open on Friday evenings and weekends.
  • StarCenter's Learn to Skate program takes kids starting at age three.
  • A teen who catches on can move into hockey or figure skating at the same rink. Young hockey fans will want the Frisco location, where the Dallas Stars practice.
  • Public skate times shift around hockey schedules and change from rink to rink, so look yours up the day you go.
  • Pack gloves and a jacket. The rink stays cold on an 85-degree afternoon.
  • Your membership gives you two visits a year here. You can hold the second one for December, since Farmers Branch has set up an outdoor holiday rink in past years.

3. Rocky Ridge Drive-Thru Safari, Eustace

Where: 3350 FM 1256, Eustace, TX, 15 minutes south of Canton GetOut visits: 1x yearly

A drive-through safari gets around the age problem by buckling everybody into the same car. Rocky Ridge spreads across 200 acres of East Texas land, and more than 25 species wander loose out there, including zebras, American bison, Highland cows, llamas, emus and miniature donkeys. Plenty of them will push their heads right up to your window looking for a snack. Your ticket comes with parking and a bag of feed.

Here's how each age spends the drive:

  • Toddlers can watch a zebra at the glass and doze off in the car seat between stops without missing much.
  • School-age kids can hold the feed bag and keep a running list of every animal they spot.
  • Hand your teen the phone for filming, since a bison sticking its nose into the car makes a clip they'll want to send to friends.
  • You get to drive at walking speed and answer questions about what an aoudad is.

Before you go:

  • Give yourself 90 minutes to two hours on the loop, plus an hour and fifteen minutes each way from Dallas.
  • Reviewers suggest one bag of feed per person. The camels and bison will go after the bag, so keep a good grip on it.
  • Leave pets at home.
  • The park has opened at 10 a.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. on Sundays, closing at 4 p.m. If the weather turns, call ahead or check their Facebook page.
  • Go this fall, while the animals move around more and the car stays cool.

4. Mayborn Museum Complex, Waco

Where: 1300 S. University Parks Dr., Waco, TX 76706, on the Baylor campus GetOut visits: 1x yearly

Most DFW families have never heard of the Mayborn. It works for mixed ages because Baylor put a children's museum and a natural history museum under the same roof, so you can let the little ones loose in one wing while the older kids wander the galleries. If you'd rather keep the learning inside the Metroplex, our roundup of educational attractions for kids in DFW has spots closer to home.

Inside you'll find:

  • 17 themed discovery rooms where young kids can build things, splash at water tables and meet live animals.
  • Natural history galleries about Central Texas, including a walk-in diorama of the Waco Mammoth site.
  • Hands-on stations where older kids can dig into geology and paleontology.
  • A historic village outside with nine wood-frame buildings from the 1890s.
  • Traveling exhibits that rotate three times a year.

Before you go:

  • The museum closes on Saturdays when Baylor plays at home. For the rest of 2026, that means September 26, October 17, November 7 and November 21.
  • Sunday hours start at 1 p.m.
  • Parking is free, and there's a café inside.
  • Waco sits 90 minutes down I-35 from Dallas or Fort Worth. Keep driving another hour and a half and you'll reach Austin, which has its own GetOut membership for Texas Austin if you're turning the day into a long weekend.

5. Texas Sports Hall of Fame, Waco

Where: 1108 S. University Parks Dr., Waco, TX 76706 GetOut visits: 1x yearly

A few blocks up the street from the Mayborn, the Texas Sports Hall of Fame gives your older kids their turn after a morning in the discovery rooms. More than 6,000 pieces of memorabilia fill the building, and they cover Texas athletes from high school fields all the way to the pros. You'll walk past exhibits on Nolan Ryan and Tom Landry before you reach the Texas High School Football Hall of Fame.

The Southwest Conference gallery is the part kids remember. You walk in through a replica of the Cotton Bowl gates and step out onto a small field lined with every old SWC school. Any kid who plays a sport in Texas can go hunting for a hometown name on the walls.

Before you go:

  • It's closed on Sundays and opens at 9 a.m. every other day of the week.
  • Plan on an hour or two, longer if your teen reads every placard.
  • Signs out front reserve parking on game days, so skip Baylor home-game Saturdays here too.
  • Your GetOut membership covers one visit a year.

How to Plan a Weekend When Your Kids Are Years Apart

Finding the right place solves half the problem. The rest comes down to how you run the day:

  • Let your oldest choose one part of the plan. A teenager who picked the stop shows up in a much better mood.
  • Give older kids a job, like navigating or running the feed bag, so they feel like part of the crew.
  • Leave for the long drives to Rocky Ridge or Waco right before your youngest goes down for a nap.
  • Choose places with separate areas, where siblings can split up inside one building and meet back for lunch.
  • Open the GetOut app before you leave, because visit limits change from venue to venue.
  • Everyone in the family needs their own GetOut membership, so count heads before you sign up.

Sample Weekend Plans for Mixed-Age Families

These plans each fill one day. When a single outing starts growing into the whole weekend, our 48-hour Dallas family itinerary maps out Saturday and Sunday for you.

  • The rainy Saturday: Head to Vellix. The toddler can bounce between soft play and Sky Tykes while the older kids work through VR and the climbing wall, and everybody regroups at the café.
  • The Friday night reset: Pick whichever StarCenter rink sits closest to your house. Bucket zones open on Friday evenings, so the youngest gets to skate too, and our list of active Friday night things to do in DFW with kids has more ideas for the weeks your crew wants something else.
  • The one-tank Sunday: Drive out to Rocky Ridge in the late morning and grab lunch in Canton or Athens on the way home.
  • The Waco double: Spend the morning at the Mayborn and walk over to the Texas Sports Hall of Fame after lunch. Pick a Saturday without a Baylor home game, or use a fall break weekday, since the Hall of Fame closes on Sundays.

What These Outings Cost Without a Membership

Here's what each place charges at the counter, going by the latest published rates:

  • Vellix Adventure Park: $17.99 for a Tykes pass, $24.99 for 90 minutes, or $31.99 for the all-day Platinum pass. A Parent Pass adds $10.
  • StarCenter public skating: Prices change by rink and go up if you rent skates.
  • Rocky Ridge Drive-Thru Safari: Tickets have run $13.50 to $17.50 per person depending on party size, and kids two and under get in free.
  • Mayborn Museum: $10 for adults and $8 for kids ages 2 to 12 at last published rates.
  • Texas Sports Hall of Fame: Check the museum's website for current prices.

A GetOut membership for Texas DFW costs $74.95 per person and lasts 12 months. It covers more than 73 venues around North Texas, including all five in this guide, and pays for itself after two or three visits. At checkout you can add LEGOLAND Discovery Center and SEA LIFE Grapevine Aquarium, a good fit for families with kids under ten. You also get 120 days to try it risk-free.

Headed Out of DFW?

Fall break and the holidays pull plenty of North Texas families out of the Metroplex. The drive to Rocky Ridge already points you toward East Texas, and a few more hours on I-20 gets you into Arkansas, where GetOut runs its own membership with a separate list of venues.

Thanksgiving often means a long drive south to see family. The GetOut membership for Houston covers museums and play spaces around that city, so you'll have somewhere to take everybody the day after the big meal.

Families who head to the mountains over winter break can look through GetOut's Colorado lineup before they load the car. Having a few indoor spots picked out helps on the afternoon the lifts close for wind.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are things to do in Dallas with a toddler and a teenager? Try Vellix Adventure Park in Hurst, which has a soft play area for toddlers and free-roam VR for teens in the same building. StarCenter public skating works well too, since the whole family skates together and each kid goes at their own speed.

Is Vellix Adventure Park good for toddlers? Yes. Toddlers get a Softplay Area and the low Sky Tykes ropes course, and kids 40 inches and under qualify for the cheaper Tykes pass.

Can toddlers ice skate at StarCenter? Young beginners can hold onto skating aids in the bucket zones on Friday evenings and weekends. Kids can start the Learn to Skate program at age three.

Is Rocky Ridge Safari worth the drive from Dallas? For families with a wide age range, it is. The drive takes an hour and fifteen minutes from Dallas and the loop takes 90 minutes to two hours, and every kid in the car stays busy because the animals walk right up to the windows.

Does GetOut cover ice skating in Dallas-Fort Worth? Yes. The GetOut DFW membership includes two public skating visits a year at eight StarCenter rinks: Frisco, Plano, Farmers Branch, Mansfield, Euless, Northlake, Irving and McKinney.
