Grand Prairie is adding a spectacular new attraction to its already impressive entertainment landscape: city officials have approved a brand-new immersive dome theater at EpicCentral, the 172-acre Dallas-area entertainment district. The 360-degree dome theater will give residents and visitors an entirely new kind of experience right in their own backyard, further cementing EpicCentral’s reputation as one of North Texas’s premier destinations for family fun and entertainment.

The approval signals continued investment in Grand Prairie’s growing entertainment corridor, bringing a cutting-edge, fully immersive viewing environment that few cities in the region can claim. Whether it draws families on a weekend outing or visitors from across the Metroplex, the new dome theater promises to be a landmark addition to the community.

Meanwhile, over at Ripley’s Grand Prairie, there’s another reason to celebrate. The beloved attraction is honoring what would have been Marilyn Monroe’s 100th birthday with a limited-time display of the iconic ‘Happy Birthday Dress’ — the legendary gown Monroe wore when she famously sang to President John F. Kennedy. It’s a rare and dazzling piece of pop-culture history, and Grand Prairie residents have a front-row seat to see it in person before the display ends.

Together, these two developments underscore just how much there is to see and do in Grand Prairie right now. From world-class entertainment venues to one-of-a-kind cultural exhibits, the city continues to offer its community exciting new reasons to get out and explore.
