What if we told you there’s an indoor amusement park just outside Dallas where you can race go-karts, play two themed mini golf courses, ride a roller coaster, go duckpin bowling, and pack an entire evening into one spot? Malibu Jack’s North Richland Hills opened in fall 2025 and quickly became one of the most talked-about entertainment spots in the Dallas suburbs for families, groups, and date nights alike.
With arcade games, thrill rides, bowling, laser tag, and attractions all under one roof, Malibu Jack’s makes planning easy—whether you’re looking for a casual first date, a double date, a family outing, or just something different from the usual dinner plans.

One of the biggest reasons Malibu Jack’s works so well for date night is how easy it is to keep the energy going. Instead of sitting across from each other at dinner trying to force conversation, you have built-in activities that make the night feel natural, playful, and low-pressure.

The Atmosphere

Seating is a mix of tables and bar-style areas near the food section. The overall feel is relaxed, busy, and centered around movement.
What to Order at Malibu Jack’s
Think casual bites like pizza, burgers, wings and shareable snacks. Drinks are simple and quick, with sodas and casual bar options available. Plan to eat lightly and keep moving between activities.
Price Range
They offer an unlimited attraction pass for $45.95 that gets you unlimited access to all the adventure activities. However, they also have a pay-per-play option where you can play for each activity individually, which starts at about $10 per person.
We like that it’s flexible, so you can keep it budget-friendly or go all in for the full experience.
Location and Parking
Malibu Jack’s is located in North Richland Hills, just outside Dallas. Parking is self-serve and straightforward. No complicated navigation once you arrive.
Tips for a Better Date
Go earlier in the day if you want shorter lines and more time to explore. Around noon is a sweet spot before the evening crowd builds. They also have late-night specials with half-price games and select appetizers after 9 pm.
Wear something comfortable and plan your time loosely so you can hit your top activities first. It’s easy to lose track of time here.
Things to Do Nearby
If you want to extend the night, a quick drive toward Grapevine or Southlake gives you more options for a quieter wind-down.
