CAMP, A Family Experience Store

If you haven’t taken your kids to CAMP yet, you’re missing one of the better things Dallas has going for it right now. It’s part store, part hands-on playground — think slime bars, arts and crafts, and themed pop-up shows that actually hold a kid’s attention. The staff here are genuinely good with children, patient and enthusiastic without being over the top. Character meet-and-greets make it feel like more than just a drop-in activity spot, and for the 1-12 crowd, there’s enough variety to keep everyone busy.
