Help local students start the school year strong! Epic Waters Indoor Waterpark is teaming up with Grand Prairie ISD to collect new school supplies for students throughout our community.
From July 20 through August 9, bring 10 eligible school supply items to Epic Waters and receive one complimentary General Admission ticket. Complimentary General Admission tickets are valid August 10–December 30, 2026. Tickets are not valid on Saturdays or holidays. Each guest may receive a maximum of one complimentary admission ticket per person, per day during the school supply drive.
Every notebook, pencil, backpack, and box of crayons will help a local student arrive at school prepared to learn. Together, we can fill the bus and make the start of the school year truly epic!
