Singing in the rain (check). Listening to rain on the roof (check). Positive thinking about how your car is washed (check). Now what?

UT Arlington Planetarium

The Parks Mall at Arlington

Drown your rainy day blues with retail therapy! The Parks features more than 180 stores and eateries like Macy's, Pandora, The Cheesecake Factory, Nordstrom Rack, Coach, and more. Then take a spin on the NHL-sized ice skating rink, followed by a flick at the movie theater. Leave your raincoat in the car, because all of that is under one big roof. Boom.
