The Ark at First Baptist Church Coppell
http://www.fbccoppell.org/the-arkThe Ark located in First Baptist Coppell (590 S Denton Tap Rd in Coppell) is a great indoor play area for kids of all ages.
Open hours vary, depending on the time of year (there is less open play time during the school year, when the church has a preschool program), but entrance is free.
Summer hours are 9am-5pm Mon-Thurs & 9am-12pm Fri. Please check the calendar on their website to verify hours before heading out.
Besides the play structures, we spotted board games a plenty, and there are definitely plenty of tables available to stop & have lunch or a snack. There is a restroom right outside The Ark, and there is also a small outdoor playground that is available to play on. You can also host a birthday party at The Ark, for a small fee.
