Malibu Jack's North Richland Hills

Malibu Jack's in North Richland Hills is a well-established family entertainment center that serves the Mid-Cities area between Dallas and Fort Worth — and for families who want a packed activity day with multiple attractions in one location, it delivers reliably.

The formula is classic FEC (Family Entertainment Center): outdoor go-karts as the marquee attraction, laser tag, mini golf, batting cages, an arcade, and a mix of indoor and outdoor activities that together can absorb 2–4 hours of family time. The breadth of options means the inevitable 'that's for babies' / 'I'm too little for that' sibling dynamic is managed better than single-activity venues — everyone finds something appropriate.

Go-karts are genuinely the draw here, and they're good ones — real track, real speed relative to the driver's height, and the kind of experience that older kids and teens find legitimately exciting rather than the watered-down kiddie version some parks offer. Height minimums apply for the full-speed track, and there's typically a junior track for younger children.

Laser tag is consistently the most popular activity for mixed-age family groups because it genuinely levels the playing field — a 7-year-old and a 14-year-old have roughly equal chances, which keeps it fun for everyone.

Budget appropriately: the per-activity pricing adds up quickly. Check the website for package deals before visiting — bundles are typically 20–30% cheaper than individual pricing. Weekday visits have shorter waits and occasional promotional pricing.
