When you are a kid at the mall what could me more welcome and fun than an indoor carousel or Merry…read moreGo Round?! Well Grapevine Mills offers a really nice one right in the middle of the food court! The kids in my life absolutely love it!!! Rides on it are $5.00 per rider, but if you plan on riding often or have a lot of kids, the Frequent Rider Card might be a welcome option where you get discounts for the more rides you would like to pre-purchase. For example, 6 rides costs $25.00; 14 rides for $50.00; and for $75.00 you can pre-purchase 25 rides. The attendant is super nice and double checks everyone for safety before the ride starts, so I felt good about that.

The dinosaurs themselves were pretty neat. They moved and made noises. It would be interesting to…read morefind out how scientists have decided what the dinos sounded like. In any case, there were probably about 15 dinosaurs in total. Visitors follow a path at their own pace to view each dinosaur. Touching them is prohibited, but you can get pretty much as close as you want to observe and photograph. There is also a small dig area and a staff member walking around with a baby dino the kids can pet. Our first loop through prehistoric park took about 15 minutes. We splashed and swam a bit in the lake and then returned for another quick loop through the dinosaur trail before heading home. Overall, it's a pleasant activity and definitely a kid-pleaser. My children ages 1-9 all enjoyed it. The problem is the cost. $29 is just WAYYYY too high for what this is. Part of me thinks the city of Grapevine should just continue to charge the regular entrance fee into Meadowmere Park and use the dinosaur exhibit as a way to increase traffic into the park during the off-season. We for sure will not be returning to the park until the exhibit is over and the entrance fee returns to a more reasonable rate. If your kid loves dinosaurs and you've never been here, by all means, go, but I'd probably chalk this up to a once in a lifetime activity.

We had a blast! Upon entrance each kid receives a guide where they collect stamps around the park…read more There are 5 stations/stamps total. Our boys loved the trail and the dig site. There's an area with carnival type dinosaur games (ring toss, feed the Dino, etc.). Aside from the Dino attractions, the park itself is beautiful. Definitely worth the price of entry!

It's not a super spacious play area, but seriously has all the fun essentials neatly packed together. Let's talk about what they have in store for the kiddos. You have to climb up first to get to the slides. The slides are the perfect length for toddlers! I know some slides that I have encountered are super high up, risking the kiddos bumping their heads if they are going down solo. There was a ride on toy car, rock climbing wall, ball pit, stuff animals, target shopping area, puzzles, etc. Let's just say it was the perfect size for my toddler to run around without me worrying. I was able to keep my eyes on him while carrying a conversation. Most importantly, they keep the place so clean. You can tell when a location is not worn down based on the cleanliness of the mats and colorful padding. The weekend is a popular time for others to reserve birthday parties. Make sure to check their website to see what the hours are open play for the day. For example, today open play was from 9-11am and 5:30 to 9pm. We will definitely be back if we happen to be in the vicinity.

The birthday bear offer requires you to register with build-a-Bear and input the child's age. You then pay age of the child for the bear so a 5yr old coat $5 etc. The cost is for the stuffed bear only and it doesn't include clothing or the accessories. Children will receive a bear birth certificate, and it is an adorable interactive activity for young children. Recommend stopping in during your kiddos birthday month to create their own stuffy.

My bf said he had one once and the stuffer said she's had people come back for testifying to gift their build a bear to their kids! It wasn't a totally long wait, but I appreciate how each child was shown to feel special and if it was their birthday, they would sing! Some were shy, others had a smile! Now I want one of my own.
