My wife and I have a toddler and a newborn. I figure a thread on play-places, parks and kid-friendly events is a good idea :)

Even though malls are dying, we take the kids to play at

~Willow Bend - Half dead mall. Playplace is nice, but ratio of climb-ables to space means this one is better suited to running around than play.

~ Lewisville (music city). 80% dead mall. A couple small slides for the littles, and a big climbing gym for the bigger kids. Usually quite a bit quieter than any other mall, and you can generally let the littles run wild in the mall halls as it's so dead.

~ Stonebriar - fairly thriving mall. Playplace is PACKED with climbable stuff (almost too packed) and fairly small, especially for how busy it gets at times.

~ Prestonwood Church - Play place is free and not at a mall! Really better for kids out of the toddler stage.

We also like outdoor parks, but it's too darn hot outside to play much these days!

Not a toddler thing, but kids can bowl free at main event. https://www.kidsbowlfree.com/center.php?alley_id=7143

I wish I could give you some input here but I am kidless. I’ve heard Hat Creek is a good dining and family friendly experience!

Any ideas are certainly appreciated! We have a toddler and a newborn, so finding things that we can do as a family is important!

Carrollton has some great splash pads too. Worth trying on a hot day.
