I'm totally new to fishing in Texas and it seems like my 5y old daughter likes it a lot after being to BassPro shop kids fishing for 3 times now.
Is there a good place near Dallas that we could go for kids to have fun (it would be catch and release) something like a fish farm would be the best as kids are loosing patience waiting for the fish.
thanks !

if you are looking for a pay place Catfish Corner in Mesquite is a pretty decent place to go, they will catch fish, but you keep all you catch

Not "near" Dallas but TPWD's Athens fish hatchery is a nice day trip. They have kid fishing, a huge aquarium, educational materials/tours, etc. Kids love it! http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/spdest/visitorcenters/tffc/

+1 forgot about that place, and I believe if you use their gear it is free to fish

Thank you all for the pointers -- looks like Catfish Corner in
Mesquite is going to be a first stop and then it TPWD's (it is
just one hour longer to get there and looks like a nice day
trip).

For a 5 year old, any local park will do. Small hook and whole kernel corn is all you need to catch as many perch as she wants.
He is truly a sick individual.

our local park is way over fished. She is getting bored and is scaring other fisherman by trying to cast herself

There is a place called Samuel Farms off of 80 in Mesquite that has 2 ponds and is open Wed - Sun 9 - 5. You may want to check it out also.
