Six Flags Over Texas Has Air Conditioned Kennels for Your Dog

If you're in Texas traveling with your dog and want to make a fun family stop at the amusement park but don't know what to do with your dog, don't fret because Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington, Texas provides kennels for your pooch.

The air conditioned kennels are located inside the red building in the parking lots (that looks like a gas station). Owners don't even have to bring their own crate because Six Flags Over Texas will provide them for you. They have kennels of all sizes so they can accommodate even large dogs. There are no restrictions and an attendant will stay with the dogs, but unfortunately the attendant will not walk any dogs. According to Six Flags Over Texas, "She (the attendant) is instructed to not touch the dogs for her own safety as some dogs are aggressive."

Dogs can stay for the duration of the day but cannot stay overnight. Six Flags Over Texas does provide water for the dogs but it's up to the dog's owner to provide food. The amusement park has bowls that they can provide or you can bring your own.

Location

Six Flags Over Texas is located in Arlington, midway between Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas at the intersection of Interstate 30 and Highway 360 (Angus Wynne Jr. Freeway).

Personal Recommendation

While this is a wonderful service that Six Flags Over Texas provides, it's best to leave your dog at home where a friend or family member can pet sit. A strange environment with a lot of other barking dogs can be frightening for your dog, so if you do decide to use the kennels at the amusement park, try to limit your stay to less than four hours to minimize your dog's stress. Leave a personal item with your dog like his favorite toy; and make sure he is walked and given an opportunity to go to the bathroom before he goes in the kennel.
