Summer in Allen, Texas, is the best place to spend your days cooling off from the Texas heat. Kids get out of school, you get to break out that cute bathing suit you’ve been dying to show off, and most importantly—the sun is out. While blue skies and sunshine should be our summer BFF, it would be nice not to sweat through all articles of clothing. Don’t let the heat scare you to the indoors all season long because we’ve compiled some tips and tricks to keep your cool and explore all the summer fun Allen has to offer!

For the Adventurer:

If you feel like boosting your adrenaline, learning to wakeboard or improving your wakeboarding skills then look no further. Hydrous Wake Parks was voted the top cable wake-park in the world by Unleashed Wake Magazine in 2011. Their top of the line cable system pulls riders through the heart of Allen Station Park and no matter your skill level there’s guaranteed fun and adventure ahead.

For the Sweet Tooth:

Located at Watters Creek at Montgomery Farm, Frios Gourmet Pops will make you rethink why you settled for store bought freezy-pops all those summers of your childhood. Frios offers next-level flavors such as Fruity Pebbles, Truckside Honey and Spicy Pineapple making it hard to go wrong with this place.

For the Fashionista:

Another way to keep cool? Hit the mall. Allen Premium Outlets has everything you need for a fun-filled summer. We love PacSun’s cute bathing suit collection but we’re loving their prices even more!

For the Mommas/Babysitters (we salute you):

This family-friendly splash zone is the perfect place to take your little guys and gals for a special summer treat. Ford Pool has it all, from a 20-foot water slide, a kids play structure to the fun tumble bucket tower. Not to mention eight cabanas and three pavilions, offering a cool spot in the shade, for you to watch your little one from—making this place as great for you as it is for the kiddos.

For Everyone:

Bring your friends, family, neighbor, WHOEVER. There is something fun for everyone at PINSTACK to keep you out of the hot Texas sun. Guests can enjoy bowling while sipping libations from the bar, laser tag, bumper cars, rock climbing and even a high ropes course! After you’re done satisfying your fun side you can satisfy your belly with their delicious burgers, bites and more at PINSTACK’s restaurant.
