Casa Manana Children's Playhouse Kids Dallas

The little ones have worn out their favorite DVDs by watching them in a loop, so take them to the theater. Ease them in with The Jungle Book, Cinderella, or Peter Pan, and soon they’ll be dragging you to Pinter.

Stop the waterworks and take kids to splash around in the children’s pool, giant water slides, a 600-foot-long continuous flowing river, and lazy river. There’s an amphitheater, too.
