We’re not sure who’s more excited about the upcoming X Games around here — the parents or kids? But either way, we’re all so ready for X Games to bring tons of thrills and excitement to Circuit of the Americas Thursday, June 4 through Sunday, June 7! There is plenty of awesome action to appeal to kids of all ages, and this year there are some great improvements planned for families, such as more shady areas, more access to hydration stations, a bigger and better Playground, etc. But as parents, we know you’re not just interested in the overview of activities — you want ALL of the details ahead of time so to ensure that you’re able to plan the ultimate experience (and minimize any potential kid meltdowns, etc.).
