The store attracts outdoor enthusiasts, hunters, anglers, and families - bringing consistent visitation from across DFW and reinforcing Grand Prairie as a regional draw. During the end of the year holiday season, Bass Pro hosts Santa's Wonderland, a Christmas experience where families get to take photos with Santa Claus for free!
One of the biggest new additions to the Grand Prairie entertainment scene is Topgolf Grand Prairie, which officially opened in January 2026 near the EpicCentral district. This massive two-level venue features over 80 climate-controlled hitting bays, high-tech Toptracer games, and a full-service restaurant and bar, creating a year-round destination for families, groups, and social outings. Designed for all skill levels, Topgolf blends golf, entertainment, and nightlife into one high-energy experience, further solidifying Grand Prairie as a growing hotspot for fun and activity in DFW.
