About Epic Waters Indoor Waterpark: Situated west of Highway 161 between Arkansas Lane and Warrior Trail near the southwest Dallas County-Tarrant County border, Epic Waters is an award-winning, 80,000-square foot, resort-styled, indoor-outdoor waterpark that offers year-round operations delivered courtesy of an enormous retractable roof and a climate-controlled wintertime interior. The venue is the largest indoor waterpark under a single retractable roof in North America.
Billed as a “cruise ship on land,” the park boasts wet and dry attractions for every member of the family, including 11 waterslides, (three of which are waterpark industry firsts), the longest indoor action river in Texas, a children’s play area that’s equipped with an aquatic fort, a double FlowRider® surfing simulator, a 45-game arcade, a café, full-service bar, private event space, table-service cabanas, and much more. In May, the park opened Epic Waves, a 10,000 outdoor wave pool featuring four-foot high wave surges and a poolside dining area.
Since opening in January of 2018, the park has attracted guests from around the world and earned awards and recognition from the World Waterpark Association. Epic Waters has also been singled out for inclusion in the Travel Channel’s “8 Of the Most Incredible Indoor Waterparks” list, USA Today’s “10 Best Dallas Waterparks” list, and the “Best of Dallas 2018 Critic’s Pick” list from the Dallas Observer.
Epic Waters is a headline destination in an area known as EpicCentral Grand Prairie, a 172-acre recreation and entertainment development that is owned by the City of Grand Prairie. Other destinations at EpicCentral include The Summit (an award-winning, country club-styled recreation facility for active adults age 50+); the GrandLawn Amphitheater (an open air concert space that opened in August of 2018); The Epic (a 120,000 square-foot recreation facility that opened in November of 2018); and PlayGrand Adventures (a phased-development, ADA-accessible playground that’s expected to open in 2019). Wrapped around all of these walkable destinations are expansive green spaces, lakes, and a paved walking trail. In the next few years, these amenities will expand to include hotels and restaurants.
