Public Transportation

Public transportation has a huge impact on the environment and its use is highly encouraged. Each guest arriving at the DWA via public transportation, will receive $1.00 off regular admission price by presenting his/her transportation receipt.

The closest DART Rail station to the DWA is the West End Station, which is a three to four- minute walk.

The DART Rail has four lines and works in conjunction with the TRE and the DCTA (Denton County Transportation Authority), thus there are multiple options for convenient public transportation to the DWA.
