Spring break revelers from Texas and beyond are invited to dive into waves of Spring Break fun at Epic Waters Indoor Waterpark, where mesmerizing circus acts, hands-on activities, creative crafts and interactive games promise epic fun happening now through March 23.
For Spring Break 2026, the waterpark is leveling up with two experiences for the price of one. Along with full access to the waterpark’s signature slides and attractions, admission also includes free access to the Epic Circus Spectacular, a live, cirque-style performance staged under the big top on the EpicCentral lawn just steps from the park. Together, the waterpark and circus offer an action-packed day of entertainment designed to appeal to visitors of all ages.
Special spring break activities and programming include:
Epic Circus Spectacular: Watch aerialists, magicians and hula hoop artists perform shows at 1 p.m., 4 p.m., and 7:30 p.m. under the big top. (The Circus will perform most days during Spring Break, but the schedule is subject to variation.) The Epic Circus Spectacular features world-class talent and high-impact performances throughout the day, offering a lineup that includes acclaimed aerialist Luis Hernandez, whose 36 years of elite artistry span breathtaking feats on the aerial trapeze and the Gravity Wheel, along with father-son duo Jorgen and Logan Dominguez, who push physics to the limit in a high-speed motorcycle pursuit inside the iconic Sonic Sphere. A rotating cast of specialty acts rounds out the experience with nonstop, crowd-pleasing performances.
Creative Activities: Check out Waddles Workshop (Thursdays-Mondays) for coloring and crafts, including glitter tattoos, slime, Picasso art, shrink art and tie-dying.
Epic Games and Challenges: Dance it out at the Spring Break Dance Party, test skills in the Arcade Challenge, and join high-energy games like Musical Dots, Ring of Fire, Heads & Tails and the Bucket Relay.
Mystical Mermaids: An extra splash of magic awaits waterpark visitors in the form of special mermaid appearances happening throughout Spring Break.
Located at EpicCentral in Grand Prairie, Epic Waters offers year-round family splash fun under a retractable roof. The park features 12 thrilling waterslides, such as the E-Racer, an exhilarating side-by-side racing slide; and the Locura, a high-intensity looping slide. Other notable Epic Waters attractions and amenities include a 4,000-square-foot arcade, an interactive children's play area, private cabanas, the Hungry Wave Cafe, the longest indoor lazy river in North Texas, and the FlowRider surfing simulator.
In 2025, Epic Waters was named the number two indoor waterpark in the nation by Newsweek's Readers' Choice Awards. Additional consumer accolades include recognition as a “10 Best” top waterpark in the nation by USA Today Reader’s Choice Awards in 2023 and 2024.
Although a hotel reservation is not required to enjoy the full range of fun at Epic Waters, guests have the option to elevate and extend their waterpark adventure by taking advantage of lodging and destinations located within easy walking distance in the surrounding EpicCentral campus, including two Hilton properties, Chicken N Pickle, Bolder Adventure Park, and PlayGrand Inclusive Playground. EpicCentral dining options from casual bites to upscale cuisine are plentiful, with standout destinations like Vidorra Mexican Kitchen, The Finch, and Serious Eats just minutes away from the waterpark.
“Whether you're looking for adrenaline-pumping slides, family-friendly entertainment, or just an out-of-the-ordinary Spring Break experience, Epic Waters is the ultimate Spring Break destination, rain or shine,” said Rob Lapinto, General Manager of Epic Waters. “For the best experience, we suggest purchasing tickets early for guaranteed admission, bringing plenty of towels and being ready to make family memories of a lifetime!”
