BEDFORD, TX, March 22, 2012 (Press-News.org) With Spring Break in full effect across Texas for the next few weeks, the term "staycation" has become all the rage in DFW.

There are a multitude of reasons these staycations have continued to increase in popularity over the past several years, including the steady rise in oil prices, baggage fees and ticket prices, as well as offering more time for rest and relaxation and also to help support the local economy.
Connect DFW has partnered with a multitude of local family fun centers that offer a variety of entertainment for adults and kids, designed to keep them busy for hours on end. So whether you're looking for a way to impress a new date, wear out your children or spend some quality time with friends, Connect DFW's ever expanding portfolio of clients provide endless amounts of entertainment, whatever your taste.
