Spring Into Action - Fun Outdoors in Duncanville
Outdoor Activities and Destinations in Irving
With the epic freeze and temperatures that have kept us indoors through the winter, everyone’s gunning to get back out and take advantage of warmer weather. As spring approaches, it’s time to start planning ideas to get your family back in the sun and in nature. To get you started, take a look at some of the best warm outdoor activities and destinations for family fun in Duncanville.
Bahama Beach
Texas gets hot, and what better way to cool off than at a water park like Bahama Beach? Attractions and rides are included for the whole family, from Coconut Cove and Lil Paco’s Splash Pad for the little ones to the Tortuga Express and Boomerango for those looking for a thrill. Relax in the Lagoon or on the Calypso Cooler lazy river. Find great food and drink at Bahama Bob’s Island Eatery, complete with funnel cakes, and get souvenirs in the gift shop.
Dogwood Canyon Audubon Center
Experience the beginning of Texas Hill Country at Dogwood Canyon Audubon Center. Learn about science and nature with over 200 acres of natural habitat preservation as well as over 3,000 acres of greenbelt. High elevation allows for a great view of the area, and there are miles of hiking and biking trails for exercise and entertainment. Find native flora and fauna near the mouth of this forested canyon, check out the information center for educational purposes.
Dallas Zoo
The Dallas Zoo is always fun for everyone, with aquarium features, reptiles, and the big draws like big cats, apes, and elephants. Feed a giraffe a gourmet lettuce wrap, watch warthogs roll in the dirt, and catch a lion or two napping in the sun. In addition, this year, the Jurassic Journey opens up, with a shuttle to tour over 30 life-size dinosaurs, have photo ops, and get up close and personal with one dinosaur along the way.
Sky Helicopters
See Dallas at its best from an aerial perspective with Sky Helicopters. Fly over the most popular districts, seeing the sights from a new point of view as life flashes by below. Enjoy the sunny weather, hovering in the sky above the Galleria, American Airlines Center, and more. Expand your trip to include Downtown Fort Worth and the Stockyards, or choose to view Six Flags and Globe Life Park. It’s great fun for all.
Lions Park
Lions Park is one of many developed parklands throughout the city of Duncanville. Take the time to walk the half mile of lighted trails across the nearly 22 acres. Play baseball on the field, with bleachers and benches for convenience. Have a picnic at one of the tables, and make use of the grills available. Kids can romp on the playground, and the concession stand and restroom make it easy to plan a long, beautiful day outside.
