Eats and Treats in Arlington

A unique and fun restaurant. This place has a fun feeling to it. When you walk in you are greeted with friendly service and brought to your seat. The restaurant has a fun set-up with a trolley and other old fashion kind of things. We were sat in the trolley and it was fun.

Spaghetti warehouse offers a wide variety of Italian foods, they are at a reasonable price, and might I add a nice portion of food as well. You will probably have to take home left overs.

The service from our waiter was average this time, but typically they have great service, and the food is really good. They accommodate for children and make your time enjoyable.

Johnny Rockets is a little old diner set up in a 1950s and 1960s theme—it is so cute. You feel like you really are in the 50s. When your waiter comes to seat you (dressed in 50s attire) you are given two nickels per person, this is for the jukebox at your table, which will play your song over the loud speaker while you are there (most of the time). If you go when it is really busy you may not hear your song.

Johnny's offers your typical 50s diner type foods, everything from burgers, fries, and a milk shake. The food is cooked right out in the open, and if you sit at the bar you can watch them because they do it right in front of you. The food is served like it would be in the 50s, or least what I would image it would look like. The service is great, fun, and friendly and they really get into their theme.

The food there is also very good. You do not just pay for the service, you pay for the food too.

The Parks Mall in Arlington has an ice-skating rink. It is a great family-fun place, with skating for the kids and the adults as well. It reminds me of when I was younger and went roller-skating. The rink is a legal size for hockey, and hosts a hockey league and games. They offer ice-skating lessons and classes as well as hockey lessons and teams. They also, of course, offer the public times to skate.

Here are the times and prices:
Monday: 9am-4pm
Tuesday: 9am-5pm (Coffee Club)
Wednesday: 9am-5pm & 8:45-10pm (Skate for $5)
Thursday: 9am-5pm & 6:15-7:15pm (Cheap Skate)
Friday: 1-5pm
Saturday: 1-5pm & 8:15-10:30pm
Sunday: 2:30-5pm

Admission - $6 plus skate rental fee
Skate Rental Fee -$3

It is definitely worth the money and the time. Look for holiday specials. Sometimes (like Christmas Day and New Years) they have $5 skates that includes the rental. Have a great time, and be careful not to fall.

I have been to six flags so many times I can’t even count them. Every time I go I feel like it has been my first time. I have been to Fright night in the past but this experience was one of the funniest ones. Just myself and one other very good friend of mine went. We spent a few hours there since we had to get back for something but it was well worth it.

My brother was working there at the time so we were able to get free parking and free entrance. Of course this makes the experience much better because we did not have to pay for anything. We started the day off by going to the Titan; of course this is the best ride and the longest line. We did not have to wait for too long in the line and we decided to ride it again right away. After that we road a few more rides including the Batman ride, Super man and all the other super hero rides. By this time we running close to the time we were supposed to meat my brother for his show.

He was one of the actors in the Halloween Show, since my brother worked there he got us seats right up in front and made sure we were able to get into the show in time. He took us through some of the back ways to get to the theater faster. The show was amazing and I was glad we got to sit in front. I had never been to a show at six flags so it was cool to experience that. I recommend checking out a show if you every go to six flags.

The thing that makes Fright fest so different is that it is decorated for the Halloween Season. There are decorations on every tree. There is a huge spider on the tower, and other little things here and there. They have 3 or 4 haunted houses, and at night scary people dressed up walk around acting weird.

Holiday in the park is another time of year that Six Flags does something special. Of course this time celebrating the Christmas/ New Year season. Once again we were able to get free tickets and free parking from my brother. This time my husband, son and I came and we also had a great time.

For Holiday in the park there are all kinds of Christmas Decorations everywhere, and several Christmas trees in every area. There is a snow hill that you can slide down on a little sled and a few other little things for the holiday spirit. My brother was in another show, this time though only my son and my mom went. My husband and I choose to ride as many rides as possible.

At Six Flags they have a special area for the younger kids. My son somewhat enjoyed this. He was still a little too small and unsure but we got him to try a few things. They have trucks, a train, some games and a few other kids rides.

During the holiday times they do have different hours. You will have to check there web site for those hours around that time of year. Holiday in the park usually runs from early December till the last day of December. The cost of admission is $47 for adults and $34.99 for kids and 2 and under are free. There is usually a $10 parking fee and of course all food, drinks and souvenirs will cost.

Six Flags anytime of year is a fun and enjoyable experience if you like roller coasters, shows and culture. There is plenty to do and see and also some fun food and activities. The price is a little high but well worth it.
