A Texas-sized water park, Hurricane Harbor features the Tornado funnel ride, the Surf Rider simulated wavemaker, the Surf Lagoon wave pool, Hook's Lagoon, an interactive water play area for the young kiddos, and the usual water park complement of water slides. The water park is across the street from Six Flags Over Texas, but each park requires a separate admission.
With over 100 different rides, attractions, and shows--including the 255-foot tall, 85 mph hypercoaster Titan and the harrowing 325-foot plunge of Superman: Tower of Power--the original Six Flags park and the nation's first real regional theme park is still one of the best.
Billy Bob's is known for great Bar-b-que and concerts. Children are fine with a parent or guardian. The Building now known as Billy Bob's Texas was built in 1910 and was once a large open-air barn for housing prize cattle during the Fort Worth Stock Show.
