We'll be taking a family trip to Dallas in April 2016, driving from Louisville, KY.Looking for any recommendations on a family friendly park with lots of activities for the little ones. Thanks!

You might check out the TX state parks. The down side is TX hits you with a per day per person fee on top of the camping fee. It might pay to get the $70 annual pass. On the FW side is Lake Benbrooke with ACOE campgrounds. That puts you about an hour drive from Dallas.

I use to camp a lot at Cedar Hills State park not a bad drive to dallas In Arlington my daughter really enjoyed the Koa as did I but it can be a brutal drive to dallas on I 30 the bright side you could in fort worth which has a ton of stuff for familys ie Stockyards

Where do you need to be close to?Grand Prarie has a very nice park with full hook ups on Joe Pool Lake.We stay a lot at Lake Benbrook on the s&w side of FtWorth at Holiday COE

There's a Jellystone south of Ft. Worth. If being on the Dallas side isn't mandatory it may fill the bill as kid friendly.
