Around Cowtown

Time to squeeze every drop of unstructured, stay-up-late, sleep-in, sun-baked, sticky, sweet summer fun out of the weeks remaining before school starts up. This edition of Around Cowtown has you covered for just about every activity and interest -- from free ice cream to live performances.

You wish you could leave the house, but you've got to stay cool. We get it. Fortunately, this month's "Around Cowtown" features lots of air-conditioned options -- like Lunch Bunch at McDonald's, with free food and fun for the kiddos.

You have so. much. to look forward to this month, from performances to festivals, from conventions to concerts and the most fun birthday event of the summer! 

Welcome to May, the creme filling in your spring-to-summer sandwich cookie. There are plenty of sweets and treats to be had this month. Our friends at McDonald's sponsored this edition of "Around Cowtown."

Family-friendly events happening in the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex and Tarrant County, Texas, in April 2018.

Between preparing to survive spring break and shuttling kids to swim lessons (see some options in our guide) ahead of summer, don't forget to take some time to enjoy local festivities this month.

Is anyone else feeling antsy and like it's time to get the kids out of the house? There's something for every member of your household happening in February, from nature walks to monster truck racing!
