We used "Kid's Night Out" during our stay in December. They were really great and I would definitely use them again. We simply called (don't have the number readily available, but I am sure it is on the boards here somewhere), gave them our credit card # to reserve and then she showed up at the appointed time. She was about 5-10 minutes late, as she had never been to FW before and it took her longer to get there than she anticipated. Once there, we gave her the quick run-down on the RV, a map of FW and list of activities, the keys to the golf cart ...... and it was hasta la vista! She kept our 10 yo busy and in fact stayed over by 15 minutes to finish a game she had started with our daughter. There is a 4 hr. minimum charge and if memory serves me correctly, it was about $15/hr. It was well worth it. She was very professional yet fun, and just trying to make a living while putting herself through college. I'd recommend it if you need some time out without kids!

My DD (10) loves the daycare centers. The Cubs Den at FW and she went to the one at GF. $10/hour plus they serve dinner. She liked hanging out with a group of other kids and had fun.
