Plan a Staycation
There's never been a better time for a change of scenery. Whether you're getting out for a staycation to explore your city or heading to Allen for a much needed getaway, our hotels are making sure their guests aren't worried about breaking the bank so you can focus more on the FUN!
JUMPSTART YOUR DAY
Bounce into fun at Jumping World, home of trampoline dodgeball, basketball, Escape Rooms, and more! Test out your skills at the ultimate Ninja Warrior Obstacle Course as you race against the clock to balance on tightropes or swing across platforms. Younger kids will find their own fun at the indoor playground. No matter the age, the whole family will love this giant trampoline city!
SKATE THE DAY AWAY
Score extra cool points with your teens and take them to The Edge. The largest outdoor facility of its kind in the state, the kids can grab their boards and grind with the best of them or sit back and watch some amazing kickflips and tricks from other skaters. Best of all, the use of the park is free! If you’re looking for something for the entire family, check out Allen Community Ice Rink during open skate. Kids of all ages and skaters of all abilities can enjoy gliding and spinning around the state-of-the-art ice rink.
STAY COOL
If you want fun that also keeps you cool, make your way to Hydrous Wake Park where a full state-of-the-art cable wakeboard system awaits your little boarders. With a beginner system as well as pipes and rails for advanced riders, the entire family can get in on the action no matter their size or skill level. Still looking for ways to make a splash? When Texas heat is blazing, head over to Celebration Park to let the kiddos spend the afternoon frolicking through the sprayground and enjoy one of the largest handicap-accessible parks in Texas.
LUNCH WITH THE LOCALS
After a long afternoon of shopping and fun, grab lunch at any one of Allen’s 250+ restaurants. Grimaldi’s Pizzeria at Watters Creek Village is the place to go for the ultimate pizza experience. Get a taste of one of the best coal brick-oven pizzas you’ll find with home-made mozzarella cheese, “secret ingredient” dough, and savory sauce. Or, Indulge in hamburgers and creamy milkshakes at Liberty Burger. It’s a winner for the parents with picky eaters on their hands. But, if you’re looking for something the whole family will love, you can’t go wrong with Lazy dog Restaurant and Bar. With a sizeable selection that highlights the freshest ingredients available, there’s something for the kiddos and your fur babies.
MAKE IT AN EVENT
Get into the groove or the game at Credit Union of Texas Event Center where your family can catch a concert or sports game during the season. "Rock the red” in stands full of rallying Allen Americans hockey fans as you snack on a fresh pretzel from the concessions. Or, be amazed as the Allen Event Center transforms from an ice hockey rink into a soccer field for Allen’s major soccer team - the Dallas Sidekicks. From Disney on Ice to big-name concerts and sporting events, Credit Union of Texas Event Center has year-round entertainment worth attending.
