What’s New at Grandscape? It’s Growing Bigger and Grander Every Day

If you haven’t been to Grandscape lately, you might be surprised to see how much it’s grown. The things to do at Grandscape The Colony, Texas, keep growing and growing with world-class attractions. This gigantic mixed-use development in North Texas is the largest of its kind in the United States., proving once more that everything’s bigger in Texas. Let’s talk about what’s new at Grandscape.

Grandscape – a shopping extravaganza is the largest in North Texas, located just north of Dallas in The Colony. You get the feel of being in an amusement park with the Grandscape Ferris Wheel high in the sky, the foundation that turns color, and all the outdoor wonderment around you. But I think it’s more than that. You have everything at your fingertips, including large shopping chains, restaurants of every kind, fun race cars, a theater, live music, and so much more. Let’s see what’s new at Grandscape.

Here’s What’s New At Grandscape North Texas

Tickets to ride start at $16.63 for adults and less for kids under 12, and the ride lasts about 12-15 minutes.

Did you know that Scheels Sporting Goods Store also has a wheel? The three-story department store houses an indoor Ferris wheel for anyone to ride (not just kids). It’s much smaller than the Grandscape Wheel, but the good part is it’s only $1 to ride it. Make note that the lines can get long on any given day.

It’s not new, but Andretti’s still boasts family-friendly entertainment on a suitably grand scale with go-karts, boutique bowling lanes, loads of games, and laser tag.
