SOLAR ECLIPSE

Our Equrina Fields location will enjoy pretty much the longest time of FULL 100% totality at 4 min 15 seconds to 4 min and 22 seconds roughly.  Early research shows that Texas has the lowest chance of having cloud cover out any US states on the eclipse path so this will be one of the best places you can view the big event!  Be sure to check out our astronomy workshops to learn all about how to photograph and video record eclipses!

Midway Carnival

Come enjoy our Midway Carnival that will be coming in just for this event.  Later in the summer we will be announcing which Midway Carnival amusement company we have chosen for our event.  We have several of them really wanting our 25 acre space at our Equrina Fields Location.  The photo above is representative only and will be updated soon! It's sure to be a blast!

XD Dark Ride Interactive Theater

We have an extremely fun interactive Triotech XD Dark Ride Interactive theatre that seats 32 guests.  These are interactive shooters and "virtual rides".  Just CLICK HERE for details on movies/games and previews.
