Food and beverages are also available.
South Padre Island Adventure Park South Padre Island	This adventure park offers fun things to do while you are on South Padre Island such as a zipline on the 6 zipline experience, horseback rides on the beach, petting barn, and beach bonfires and parties. After a fun zip or horseback ride, make sure you sign up for a round of mini golf or a few laps around the track in a go cart at Island Fun Park.
Lake Travis Zip Line Lake Travis, Austin	Lake Travis Zip line is home to the longest and fastest zipline in Texas!

After all that fun you can enjoy their Private Beach where you can picnic, swim, play games or simply relax in one of the hammocks
PlayGrand Adventures Grand Prairie	Finally, young kids now have an adventure park that was designed with them in mind and was built “to stimulate, challenge, and encourage development of several skill sets while providing social interaction, sense of discovery, creativity, and exercise.” “This is not just a children’s playground but one designed for all ages and abilities, that incorporates various challenges to encourage teamwork, cooperation, and achievement.” Phase 1 is Adventure Hill which features high intensity climbing, swinging and spinning. The playground is part of a much larger overall park project which includes The Epic, a state-of-the-art recreation center, Epic Waters indoor/outdoor water park, trail systems, The Summit 50+ Club, and GrandLawn at EpicCentral in Grand Prairie, Texas.
Trinity Forest Adventure Park Dallas	Trinity Forest Adventure Park is an aerial adventure park consisting of high ropes courses of varying levels of difficulty, including multiple climbing trees, and a “Littles course” for ages 4 and up. The color coded levels with varying degrees of difficulty become higher and gradually more difficult and include 8-12 elements each. The park has over 70 elements and over 20 zip lines!
Mo Ranch Hunt	Stay at Mo Ranch and experience the beauty of the Hill Country as well as the abundance of water and land activities. On land experience the high and low ropes course with activities such as scaling a 35-foot climbing wall, zipping down our 480-foot zip line, archery and rappelling off the catwalk. On the water ride a wheeled sled down the 38â² tall slide, and shoot out into the cool, clear waters of the Guadalupe.
Extreme Sandbox Pottsboro	Extreme Sandbox has a variety of packages with upgrade options available but the most popular includes 1 1/2 hour adventure with one piece of equipment (excavator, bulldozer, or wheel loader) and an obstacle course. The idea is to bring the construction experience to the general public.
