Why do they call Arlington, TX, Fun City?

  • 2 reviews
This is a huge city. Located int he DFW metroplex, many residents of Arlington work in Dallas and Fort Worth. Centrally located between Big D and Fort Worth, it is the larges suburb I have ever been in.

A quirky fact: Largest city in the world w/o public transportation.

Also a dry county.

Quick Tips:

There is lots to do, just think of 5 suburbs that you know, sew them together and you have Arlington.

Best Way To Get Around:

You need a car
Woo Wee. I typically love amusement parks but this is the most Ghetto one I have ever been to. We only go because it is local, but last time we went, they ran out, yes ran out (how can you run out of stuff) of Turkey legs! And a fight broke out between adults at one of the food places. It's dirty, it's raggedy, and it's not one of my favorite places to go. They have done a good job at including rides and games for the younger crowd (3-7), but that effort resembles a roving carnival. For $45 a pop plus parking, it's not worth it. I do not recommend this park.
