  • Attractions That No Longer Exist in DFW

    Today I happened across a forum discussion about a DFW attraction that no longer exists, and it kickstarted a chain reaction of memories. Here are a few attractions that no longer exist, but were once a BIG deal in DFW:

    Sesame Place (now a Walmart on Esters and Airport Freeway in Irving) – theme park with tons of activities for kids.

    International Wildlife Park (Grand Prairie) – flooded twice in 1989. 200+ acre preserve that was located directly across Beltline from the Race Track in Grand Prairie.

    Casa Bonita (Hulen Mall, Fort Worth) – only the coolest Mexican restaurant EVER.

    White Water – Water park now a Ford dealership on northwest corner of I-30 and Beltline in Grand Prairie.

    What else have I forgotten?

    Beltline Station (Hwy 183 and Beltline Rd in Irving) – Go carts, arcade, and batting cages. Possibly also mini golf. Very similar to Putt Putt Golf and Games, I think.
