DFW Adventure Park

Don’t stay inside and sulk this winter. Outdoor thrill-seekers have ample opportunities to get the ol’ blood pumping at DFW Adventure Park in Northlake. Throughout a 170-plus-acre campus, Adventure Park boasts zip lines, paintball and airsoft combat, skeet shooting, laser tag, obstacle courses, and more.

While COVID put a damper on 2021 activities, Adventure Park plans to gradually return to normal operations in 2022. Call 817-854-0085 to learn about availability and make a reservation.

Extreme Sandbox

Have you always wanted to drive a bulldozer? Us neither, but now that we know it’s an option, it does sound pretty fun. At Extreme Sandbox in Sachse, visitors try their hand at operating heavy equipment like excavators, wheel loaders, and bulldozers. Navigate your way through an obstacle course, destroy a “perfectly good car,” and walk away with photographic and video evidence to prove it all happened.

Packages start at $195 for a half-hour of instruction and a half-hour of destruction. Call 1-855-DIG-4-FUN to book your spot.
