This great museum shows the role women pilot played in aviation during WWII. You’ll learn about their training, their relationships to each other and the community around. If you so fancy, you can also try a flight simulator. The museum has plenty to see, allow a couple of hours. In this day and age, it is certainly important to highlight how our sisters, mothers, daughters can be inspiring… Please go!

If I could give this museum 10 stars I would! My husband and 20 month old girl stopped by over Memorial Day weekend and we loved the museum! The staff were extremely kind and very attentive to our 20 month old. They gave her bracelets to play with and the exhibits were kid friendly as well- they even put a nice booklet signed by an actual WASP! Great museum and great staff!

It’s a fantastic place to stop learn about our woman pilots from world war 2 and all they did for the war

A beautiful museum showing the roles women played in aviation during WWII. They not only showcased the important women who moved mountains during that time, but they also incorporated differrnt simulations so that you could get a sense and feel on how the women trained at the base, what their rooms looked like, and how close of a friendship and bond they all truly had. It's such an amazing and beautiful piece of history.

An impressive part of history. Recognition was long overdue. Where's the trip, and the visit. Plenty of tickets available at the door.

The best aviation museum for women have seen yet. Great staff and meticulous detail of this historic program.

A great piece of history and super interesting to learn more about the role women played in aviation during WWII. I didn't know anything about this program or the women in it before coming to Sweetwater, and I am glad to have stopped here. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable and you could tell cared about the history and information here. All four of the aircraft still operate and I wish I could've have been here to see one of them in action! Anyone passing by the area should stop in and take the time to learn about these amazing people.

Awesome historic site and museum. The gun collection is unbelievable. A must visit

One of the coolest forts I've been to!! Definitely recommend setting aside at least an hour or two to see and enjoy the whole place!!

We stopped in without knowing anything about Fort Chadbourne, and we were really glad we did. The fort exceeded our expectations and the staff was exceptionally nice and took the time to show us around personally. The museum is much more than we expected with a lot of very interesting exhibits and an entertaining film. The fort and stagecoach stop are partially reconstructed. It’s a great stop for anyone interested in western history. Admission is free but a $10 donation is suggested.

If you're into frontier history, or even US history, at all this is a must see. I was fortunate enough to meet the owners and tour with an individual that did much of the restoration work. The fort has some fascinating history and stories. Also, if you're coming from tbe south google will guide you to a cemetery nearby, keep going about another mile to the entrance.

What a hidden gem! The visitor center is fantastic—packed with fascinating artifacts, and the 20-minute introductory video is a must-see. I was genuinely in awe of the weapons collection on display. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend making time to stop by. It’s absolutely worth it!

A hidden treasure to be sure. If you like Texas history and can imagine the inhospitable terrain and conditions of the era, this is an amazing find. Privately owned and operated, it is definitely not your typical museum. Their historical gun collection is one of the most unique I have experienced. You can’t go wrong making this a stop on your west Texas tour!

Amazing collection of historic artifacts and historical structures! Worth the time to visit and browse through. Very polite staff who made me feel comfortable and welcomed! Truly a gem hidden away in the middle of the vast desert of western Texas! Gun enthusiasts will be amazed by their cool collection!

What a great experience. We received a warm welcome and were given a detailed map of the grounds. The buildings and artifacts are very interesting and documented brilliantly. I would definitely put this on your list if you are in the area.

One of the coolest walk through museums. There are numerous buildings you can go inside and see the original artifacts from the era. Staff was super friendly and we enjoyed the atmosphere. Will definitely come again soon!

This place is absolutely amazing! I definitely encourage you to come to this village. You like to see things that are cool from our history

My husband & I had a great time touring Buffalo Gap. Great spot to learn about Taylor County!

Wow, don't miss this historical place. All authentic, detailed stories of real people who lived here

Such a neat place to visit. The lady was getting ready to close (under an hour) when we got there, but so graciously let us walk around anyhow. She was SO nice! She told us where all the “must sees” were and gave us the summary version of the tour. There were more antiques and artifacts here than in the museum we were at the day before. If you’re into history and in the Abilene area, definitely stop here.

This is the most complete historic village I've ever seen. Real buildings full of furniture that you can walk around in. I was pretty amazed at what they have. I got to bring my dogs, too!

Local fixture! Cozy historical theater in downtown Abilene TX offering concerts, movie, and documentary showings. We love going every chance we get!

I LOVE this place!!!! It’s absolutely BEAUTIFUL and they have some wonderful events here too!! You can even hit the snack bar! It’s very historical and it’s just an awesome place to go for so many things— one night they’ll have an actual movie showing, another night they’ll have a live performance of the Community Orchestra… It’s a lovely venue for anything!!! If you’re gonna be in town, I’d look to see if they have anything going on! It’s beautiful when it’s lit up outside and just as gorgeous on the inside (where if you look up at the ceiling, you think the clouds are moving!). Definitely a place I’d recommend!

The theater was awesome. A beautiful, historic building. Staff was helpful and polite. We went to see Reed Timmer and the entire experience was flawless. The Dominator 3 was awesome and Will (Rocket Man) with Team Dominator was very informative. The theater was a perfect place. 🥰

This was my first visit to the Paramount Theater in Abilene and it was for a concert. The venue was a very nice theater and the sound quality was good for the performance. The theater reminded my a lot of the Majestic theater in San Antonio. It had the star lights in the ceiling and I had been well maintained. I look forward to attending lore events here.

This is one of the most lovely theaters! It has been tastefully updated in such a way that it hasn't ruined the nostalgic character. In fact, I'm glad they haven't redone everything. There's something genuine and peaceful about things that age gracefully and don't get fussed over too much. It is definitely a step back in time to the golden age of live performances and golden Hollywood character.

Lovely facility.....staff friendly and happy. Each one of them mentioned how it was an honor to work in such a place of history. Can't wait to enjoy the events we purchased tickets for . Perfect size.

Great place for a movie, was here this time for a concert. It really is a great venue for whatever they may be hosting. Ben Folds was awesome, too!

Frontier Texas! is an absolutely fantastic museum and a definite must-visit in Abilene. It is genuinely interactive and incredibly informative, making the history of the Texas frontier engaging for all ages. The museum truly brings the past to life, especially through their innovative use of hologram characters. It feels less like reading plaques and more like meeting the people who lived this history—it’s a completely immersive and memorable experience. We found the entire visit to be great and left feeling thoroughly educated and entertained. If you want history that jumps off the page and gets you involved, make sure to stop by Frontier Texas! Highly recommended!

This place was so much fun, extremely interactive so it kept the kids attention and we learned so much! We got some really cool souvenirs to take home and we talked about and referenced the museum our whole trip. Highly recommend bringing the whole family!

Such a fantastic museum! My husband & I throughly enjoyed exploring & learning about the Frontier! The holographic scenes are amazing. Take a couple hours and check this museum out!

We had a great time on our field trip. This place is interactive and informative. Can't wait to go back and visit again, but be able to take my time. Our tour guide was very patient and had a lot of knowledge.

We came on a field trip with second and third graders. There was a lot of interactive exhibits, which kept their attention well. We had a guide and she was dressed for the part and very knowledgeable and patient. There is a really cool 360 experience at the end that the kids loved.

I love the little areas where characters from history speak to you as if they were still here. It looks like animatronics meets holographic. This museum tries to tell both sides of the frontier story.

Had a fantastic time at the museum It was awesome to see the holograms and to learn a lot about the state of Texas and how hard it was to live back then people dying left and right killing each other war fighting over land

I've been to other historic forts that had amenities such as gift shops and partially- or fully-restored ruins. This site has ruins, restrooms, and a heavily spider-infested welcome area with a bit of history posted. So this is a place you come if you like the idea of walking around looking at ruins, not a museum-like ruins as you see in some other historic forts. Also FYI, there's a posted sign warning to watch out for rattlesnakes (we didn't see any; someone apparently mows the grass, which helps) and there are sticker plants, so wear long pants.

After visiting Frontier Texas!, we headed out to Fort Phantom Hill, and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the ruins. It offers a fascinating glimpse into history, and the information booklet provided at the entrance is excellent, allowing for a fantastic, easy, self-paced walking tour of the grounds. The site itself is a beautiful, open piece of history. The only minor drawback is that because it is an open-air historical site, there are quite a few spiders and creepy crawlers around the ruins—so be prepared and maybe wear closed shoes! Despite the bugs, it's a worthwhile, informative, and highly recommended historical stop for anyone in the Abilene area.

What a great stop on a road trip! We grabbed sandwiches in town and ate them as we walked this site. It's a free park. In mid-May, the flowers were so beautiful! So many butterflies! Cacti were in full bloom! So many huge mosquitoes! Bring insect spray or just do what we did...move quickly and watch each other's backs! The site was great for getting a short walk in on a long drive and seeing some historical ruins.

I love history, so getting to walk through a place that was first inhabited in 1850 was special to me.

such a neat place with such a history! can't wait to go back & explore around some more when it gets cooler out.

My husband & I stopped here after we visited the Frontier Texas. It was cool to walk around & imagine what life was like. Make sure to wear closed shoes, a lot of bugs 😀

If you love history and looking for a active and free activity this the place clean restrooms but not to maintain is not 💩dirty is just dusty and spider webs but is awesome 🫡🫡🫡🫡

We've been visiting the Abilene Zoo for over 13 years now, and it’s always a family favorite. All three of my kids have grown up loving this place—there’s always something new and exciting to see with each visit. The staff is one of the highlights of the zoo experience. They're friendly, approachable, and incredibly knowledgeable about the animals they care for. Whether it’s during a fun educational show for the little ones or just answering questions while you stroll by, they clearly love what they do. The zoo itself isn’t massive, which is actually a plus in my book. You can easily see everything without feeling exhausted by the end of your visit. It’s the perfect size for families with younger kids, and still entertaining for adults too. They are currently expanding, so the zoo will soon be growing—but even now, it’s a wonderful and charming place to spend the day. If you haven’t been to the Abilene Zoo yet, I highly recommend stopping by. You won’t be disappointed!

I was originally going to give the Abilene Zoo 4 stars because while it’s a great zoo, there are definitely some areas that could use improvement. A few exhibits seemed a bit overcrowded or lacking in enrichment. However, I talked to a very friendly employee at the carousel, and after hearing about everything they have planned, I’m honestly hopeful and impressed. For example, the spider monkey exhibit felt extremely overcrowded — it looked like there were more than 10, maybe 15 or more. The employee explained that they recently seized around 9 baby spider monkeys at the border and brought them here temporarily. Once they’re old enough, they’ll be placed in other zoos. Knowing that made the overcrowding make a lot more sense, and I appreciate the role the Abilene Zoo is playing in helping them. He also mentioned that many exhibits are in the process of being updated to become more enriching and spacious, which is great to hear. Another unique detail he shared was that one of the higher-ups owns a large plot of land with his own animals and brings some to the zoo depending on the time of year. Right now, for the holidays, they have reindeer — which my son was ecstatic to see! The zoo itself has a train, a carousel, and lots of great animals. My son got to see a snapping turtle for the first time, and he was both amazed and a little scared because of the size. The animals all looked well cared for, active, and easy to see. The jaguar exhibit in particular looked amazing. Ticket prices are very affordable, and honestly, I think the experience is worth more than the cost. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and would definitely recommend checking out the Abilene Zoo. I’m only passing through, but I hope that the next time I’m in the area, I’ll get to see all the improvements they’re planning.

My granddaughter and I, had a great time. Not very expensive. Lots of critters. We went during Halloween time. Decorated cool Definitely, will go back often! You can feed some animals. There is also, a giant sand pit for the kids. That's when, I rested. I had brought my umbrella for the sun. Didn't really need it. Lots of trees with shade. The monarch butterflies were everywhere, too!

Maybe it's because we had the entire zoo basically to ourselves because we were there on an off day, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The facility is beautiful, they have a great variety of animals, and they have great themes.

This zoo is a gem. Their exhibits are top notch. It’s not too long of walk to see everything, and each exhibit is well taken care of. And the giraffe feeding is one of the best zoo experiences someone can have.

This is such a cool smaller zoo you can spend time just strolling around the beautiful laid out property, It wasn't crowded and we so enjoyed looking at the animals. I would come back here again and again, can't wait to visit in the near future..!!!

It’s a beautiful serene atmosphere. So many beautiful animals and friendly workers. The trolly tour is super cool. It’s a small zoo, but there’s enough to see and appreciate. I brought a friend along with me. It was such a nice experience. We got to connect with the animals and nature. I’m looking forward to going back to whatever I may have missed or overlooked. They also give military discount which I appreciate. I’m also looking forward to the Air Force C- 130 exhibit that will eventually launch at this Zoo. I’m sure it will be a great addition to the Zoo’s collection. Love, Light, Peace, Blessings, Community

Very well executed. Nice walk through, with some nice art. It felt a little bare during our walk through, but still worth a stop. Good videos on the history of the area.

Great fun place for the whole family! They have new art pieces every month or so. So you can come back every so often for new fun! Overall cool place glad to live in the area!

After a 35 year long relationship, I can say without doubt and with personal experience, the Old Jail Art Center is a world class accredited museum.

Lovely art museum with a wonderful staff! I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of exhibits represented.

Celebrating Diwali at The OldJail Art Center in Albany, Texas!

The Old Jail Art Center is amazing. I took my niece and great nephew from Kansas to visit the Old Jail and we were in awe of the art and history in there. When we walked in we were greeted by Susan Montgomery who is super sweet and very knowledgeable of the art and museum as a whole. I have lived in Albany my whole life and it has been several years since I visited the Old Jail but I highly recommend going and taking your time and enjoying what this awesome little museum has to offer. Thank you Susan for answering all of our questions and being so sweet to me and my family. We will definitely visit again.

I absolutely love this place, especially the library. I'm a huge fan of Albany to begin with and have been through it many many times in my 58 years on earth. My mother's family is from Haskell County, and I've been stopping in Albany for years because there have always been good milkshakes and clean bathrooms. I stop in Albany every time I come through. This time it was a couple of milk shakes, a new Case knife, and a water cup from the Old Jail. The Old Jail is the prize of the town (from a visitor's perspective). If I could give it six stars I would. The exhibits are solid, and that art library is absolutely fabulous to have in a town that size.

Went camping for my daughter’s first birthday! She had a blast on the boat and in the water!! Beautiful view, Amazing Experience! 10/10 recommend

A lot of wildlife, they patrol the lake pretty hard, apparently they can stop you without cause. Be Careful

The lake was nice and quiet perfect for relaxing and taking the kids out for some boating and fishing. It’s definitely worth spending family time out here. We even had our food stolen by some of the beautiful creatures at night (lol), which just added to the fun experience! The small store on-site was great for souvenirs and little necessities. Overall, a peaceful and memorable place to unwind and enjoy nature.

We love it here. All the boaters tie up in the bay that you reach by going between hells gates. Hell's Gates are the two giant cliffs that you always see pictures of. Get there early for a good spot and to enjoy some solitude before everyone arrives. It's very busy on the weekend as you would expect.

Good lake for boating! Not too much traffic but just enough! We went over Memorial Day and rented a boat from bluffs creek Marina. Devils gate area is the best place for tying up and socializing. Good times!

Stayed in a cabin in the state park area where Texas residents can fish without a license. Beds were uncomfortable. A short walk to the fishing dock that we usually had to ourselves. Nice roped off swim area with picnic tables and shelters. Very quiet and clean area. Beautiful sunrises over the lake. There is a store that you can get some essential items from. There was a small boat docking area but no marina. We drove about a half hour from the state park to a marina where we rented a boat.

Great place to have time with your people. Clean water, beautiful nature, nice camping site. Swimming, fishing, grilling with cheap price!

I was a little sad when it was closed plus they used to make the old fashioned suds from a fountain and that place was closed too. I did walk across the street got me some Dublin soda everyone drink them on a road trip and they were delicious. Took as much pictures as I could wish I was here a lot earlier. Rip

Don't waste a trip. The museum has been closed since 2021. We drove 2 hours just to find that out. We did visit the little gift shop. It was small like a closet but at least we got to buy some souvenirs and make our own 6 pack. The lady at the register even offered us each a free pin. Afterwards, we took pictures with the world's largest soda bottle. A local offered to take our picture so we could all be in the photo. Just disappointed that the museum is closed and that it wasn't stated on here other than in other reviews which I unfortunately didn't read beforehand. Google gives hours of operation and that gives the misconception that this place is still operating.

This is a awesome fun place , takes you back in time in the old soda fountain. The tour of bottling company and Dr Pepper museum was great! The history of this place is very interesting being a Dr Pepper fan. The memorabilia is some of the best and probably one of the largest collections.

We were disappointed that none of the machinery really worked, they could have it running just for tours, they had one machine that they showed as a demo but it didn't do all the things it could do. We were also disappointed that they didn't offer us a taste of any of the sodas. My husband has diabetes and can't really have it but could have a sip. The museum tour by the employee was nice and informative.

This place is legendary for their history of making Dr. Pepper with pure cane sugar. But, since the corporation took that away from them they are now bottling their own sodas. If you're driving through, it may be worth a stop.

The facility of where it all started for the infamous Dr. Pepper soft drink we know today. But before it was known as Dr. Pepper, Dublin Bottling Works is the more humbling beginnings Location offers 2 types of tours that shares the history of the drink and it's branding better than I can. Both of which suited for all ages. Guided and unguided tours. However with the guided tours, patrons will have the ability to create there own "Dr. Pepper" soft drink to take home with you. Plus it's a good memorabilia to take with you whether you drink your concoction or not. The visitor center offers numerous flavors thru out the years Dublin has been running including their original flavors. It's a pleasant visit for anyone who wishes to Branch out.

Still some very good drinks here even though they were forced to stop making Dublin Dr. Pepper and the successor version unfortunately. Although I wouldn't consider Red Cola quite as good as the Dublin Dr. Pepper was, I would consider it a better version of Cherry Dr. Pepper. Vintage Cola has a similar taste to Pepsi. They have a bar type area where you can try any of the drinks offered here for free. Then you can pick whatever drinks you like in a case or a smaller amount if you like. Very friendly staff and some nice souvenirs.

Nice day trip .... It was a bit too hot (96°F) for any extended hike. But we had a picnic and great conversation with a Park Ranger. We will be back for hiking and biking.

Late Post | Winter Season Stayed in a campsite back in January in our camper van. Such a great Texas State Park! Well maintained and the bathrooms were clean. Did a couple of trails and even saw an armadillo! Also, love that they have a little free library where you can take/leave a book! Next time we camp there, I’ll definitely bring some books to leave.

Easy walk on a floating pontoon walkway that passes through a heavily forested area and across a lagoon with water birds and Lilly pads. Very picturesque with many benches along the way. Parking is adequate and free. Nice place for a quiet walk.

Really nice park! Stayed a couple nights and had a great time. The camp sites are kept and clean, same for the bathrooms. The lake is really nice, and there are plenty of fishing docks scattered around it, although you got a hike a bit to reach a few of them. The hiking trails are gnarly! Bring boots with ankle support, lots of rocks! They even havea rock climbing area! Oh, and the wildlife at my campsite was pretty awesome. Squirrels, armadillo, cardinals, and some big ol lizard all came out! Great park!

Wonderful place to camp, hike, and kayak. The only downside was the racoons. There were almost dozen each night that invaded the camping area. They are not afraid of anything. They ripped the tent. We kept no food out and they still invaded us for about an hour.

Beautiful lake, good access and nice facilities. Friendly staff and good shopping nearby. We rented a screened shelter and set up a tent. Only recommendation I'd make to the park staff is the shelter could use some additional cleaning.

I was uniquely impressed by this hidden gem. Perfect sized lake, fishing, boating, and hiking. It's minutes from Weatherford with fantastic fellow campers. Going back for the trails and rock climbing.

Beautiful peaceful place to spend Mothers Day or any other day. Shady trails well marked passing by all nature of Texas plants with sculptures along the paths. Would be a lovely venue for a wedding, chapel and a large reception tent. Oh and the model train setup Is fun.

I loved Clark Gardens. This was my pick from the very beginning because we wanted our wedding to feel ethereal and secret garden inspired, lush, romantic, and full of life. We were also going for a touch of Tuscany since that is where we were headed for our honeymoon, and Clark Gardens’ baroque details and Mediterranean inspired landscaping fit the vision perfectly. There are even trees in the White Garden that are the same species found in Italy, and it felt like a little piece of Europe tucked away in Texas. The planning staff was incredible from start to finish, responsive, kind, and truly invested in making our day special. Every question was met with patience and professionalism, and they went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. The venue itself is beyond magical: peacocks roaming the pathways, butterflies fluttering through the gardens, and sparkling fountains around every corner. It is pure enchantment. The wedding party stayed at The Retreat at Clark Gardens, the guest house on the property, which provided an absolutely calm and serene place to gather during the wedding weekend. It was the perfect escape, quiet, cozy, and surrounded by nature. I felt relaxed and rejuvenated the entire time, and it made the weekend feel even more special and connected. Clark Gardens is truly a hidden gem in the DFW area. The property feels private and peaceful, like you have stepped into another world, and every inch of it is breathtakingly beautiful. Our guests could not stop talking about how stunning it was, and it is no surprise they have now been featured on the cover of British Vogue. If you are dreaming of a fairytale garden wedding, this is the place. I will sing their praises forever. Clark Gardens made our day everything we imagined and more. Book them and make your dream day a reality!

While it is the tail end of the summer, the flora was beautiful. The gardens are a.wonderful walk surrounded by many varieties of trees, flowers and plants. Very relaxing place.

I went september 30th. It may have been offseason. I am not a horticulturalist. There was plush with green bushes. A few annuals, but the groundwork was there I bet during the season.This place is absolutely beautiful

Clark Gardens in Weatherford, TX is undeniably beautiful. The gardens are lush, spacious, and well-maintained, with several lovely water features and scenic backdrops that make for stunning photos. The property feels peaceful and clean, and on our event day, the staff worked diligently to keep the main floor dry and safe despite steady rain. However, there are some important things future guests and couples should know. While the venue sets up the essentials — such as tables and chairs — you’re largely responsible for ensuring all additional items and details are taken care of. Unfortunately, the gardens don’t hold rainwater well. Even under the tented areas, puddles lingered, leaving the bottoms of dresses and pant legs wet and muddy. Outdoor walkways quickly turned to soft mud, and accessibility was especially difficult for anyone using a wheelchair or stroller. Another challenge is navigation. The website and Airbnb listings provide very limited instructions, and because cell service can be spotty in the area, GPS often struggles to lead guests to the correct entrance. There are multiple entry points — some private or gated — and with minimal lighting at night, it’s easy to get lost. Guests, especially older ones unfamiliar with digital maps, found this particularly confusing. It’s highly recommended to map out directions before losing daylight, as signage and visibility at night are limited. The on-site cottage is charming, complete with beautiful peacocks wandering nearby, which adds to the charm of the gardens. However, guests should be aware that a copperhead snake was spotted on the cottage porch during our stay, so it’s wise to be cautious when walking the property at night. Additionally, while the cottage address is listed as the same as the main venue, there are multiple buildings and homes on the property — and no clear directions provided to distinguish which one is the cottage, adding to the navigation confusion. The cottage host was incredibly kind, responsive, and helpful, which we greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, interactions with the venue’s day-of manager, Janet, were not as pleasant. While she was efficient and ensured key tasks were completed, her demeanor toward guests and wedding party members felt abrupt and unwelcoming at times. The bride and several guests experienced interactions that came across as dismissive rather than understanding, which added unnecessary stress to an already emotional day. For example, when there was confusion about use of the nearby kitchen area, instead of calmly clarifying, Janet corrected the bride sharply in front of others, leaving her embarrassed and uncomfortable. Later, the bridal suite was locked before cleanup was finished, which made the party feel rushed out. While some staff were kind and hardworking, the overall experience — particularly due to inconsistent communication, confusing logistics, and tone of guest interaction — made the day more stressful than it needed to be. That said, Clark Gardens remains a lovely location for photos and nature-filled celebrations. With clearer directions, improved accessibility, and more thoughtful communication from staff, it could easily become a top-tier venue experience.

Gorgeous place. So much to explore. Lots of flowers and trees of every sort and lots of different bees and butterflies.

Glad we basically stumbled across this garden. We would come back for sure and spend more time. We a beautiful, serene place.

Was here for the 2019 Peach Festival! Wish they had it for more than just 1 day of Incredible vendors! Great time!

I have looked forward to this festival nearly my entire life. It's one of my favorite traditions. Each year, there's more to see and experience!

Went there for a wedding, it seems to be steeped in southern religion.

Wonderful historic building. A lot of history and wonderful architecture.

Move this building out of the way! Also, who didn't read the instructions on how roundabouts work.

An example of cool and yet quant Texas county seat courthouses. The Parker County offering is a truly majestic structure.

The town of weatherford is steep in history as well as parker county courtlhouse. There have been droves of weddings and historical figures passing through these halls. It is a well preserved and beautiful building anchoring the town right from the center of it all. You can see this building from all sides of town.

Very quaint town square with lots of cute little shops and restaurants. There is a free parking lot just a little off the square if you don’t want to fight traffic on a busy day.

The Historic Granbury Square, located in Granbury, Texas, is a vibrant blend of rich history, charming architecture, and small-town hospitality. Established in the late 1800s, the square is anchored by the iconic Hood County Courthouse, a striking example of Second Empire-style architecture that remains the heart of the community. Surrounding the courthouse are beautifully restored 19th-century buildings, which now house a variety of unique boutiques, antique stores, cozy cafes, wine bars, and fine dining establishments. One of the standout attractions on the square is the Granbury Opera House, which dates back to 1886. Restored to reflect its original grandeur, the opera house hosts live performances year-round, adding to the town’s cultural appeal. Visitors can also explore the old Hood County Jail, now a museum that tells stories of the town’s colorful past, including legends of famous outlaws like Jesse James and even whispers that John Wilkes Booth once lived there under an alias. The square isn’t just about history—it’s also a hub for community life. Throughout the year, it comes alive with festivals, art shows, and live music events. Farmers markets and seasonal celebrations make it a lively place for both residents and tourists. With its picturesque setting, walkable layout and sit out outside

This is quaint little town where you can hang out, walk, dine, shop, and just enjoy the day. There are many shops to walk in and enjoy a glass of wine, an ice cream, or a meal.

Visited Granbury, Texas today and absolutely loved it! It’s such a charming little town with a classic vintage American vibe. The historic downtown square is filled with antique shops, boutiques, and cozy local stores — perfect for a relaxed stroll. A wonderful place for a weekend getaway and definitely worth the drive!

Lots to see an do, loved all the unique stores and restaurant options. Felt safe to walk at night and was just a fun place to be.

Just drove in for a few hours to check out the vibe. Didn't take many photos but next time I will.

We spent a Saturday roaming the myriad shops on the square and supporting a community wide lemonade sale for charity. If you enjoy a lively yet subdued stroll around an old town square, this is the place for you!

Absolutely delighted! I am a nerd. But a nerd that will turn on my favorites getting poor renditions - this Pride and Prejudice play was done so well - I know so many of the lines by heart and the way they collapsed storylines without compromising the story - it was done so well. They did a great job and I don't have one thing to say bad about it.

just saw Young Frankenstein!! it was our first time watching a musical in person and it did not disappoint!! the performance was phenomenal. we fell in love with the characters and actors by the end. the absolute talent, staging and energy were outstanding and left us wanting more. thank you so much for an unforgettable performance!

We have been coming to the opera house since I was a child. They use amazing local talent to produce classic musicals and plays. We recently saw Singin’ in the Rain and Pride and Prejudice. There a great little candy store next door to grab a sweet treat before the play.

The show was so much fun! The one thing that wasn't great is when you're seated on the end, seats A 19 &20, there's a lot of times when part of the show is blocked by either props or actors. The place was really clean. My only complaint about the establishment is I wish they had a concessions type area, especially for drinks!

Watched Elf, the musical. We loved the show, but the only reason we didn't give five stars is because to many very little kids that their parents wouldn't keep them quiet or take them out in the lobby. There should be an age limit. No babies. Update: My wife and I have been coming here for years. Besides Elf, everything else has been good. We just went to watch White Christmas, the play. It was very good. I liked the guy who walked really slow with a funny grin. My wife liked the lady in red who stayed behind the desk with a red dress. She was very funny and good at what she did. Update as of March 2, 2024: My wife and I just watched "My Fair Lady," and we loved it.

Gorgeous theater! Just saw Mary Poppins jr. I have to say, I was really impressed. The best money 💰 I have spent in a long time! I just moved to the area and this was my first experience here and I look forward to going again and again and again… Awesome job to everyone involved.

Fabulous and quaint place. The play we saw was “The Scrooge”. The actors were superb and the production itself couldn’t have been better. We loved it, the authenticity, the staff, the opera house itself. We will definitely go back.

If you're planning a visit, make sure to arrive early! While parking is sufficient, it can get limited as everyone arrives for the day. The location boasts a spacious picnic area equipped with grills and tethers for your furry friends. You'll find plumbing for restrooms in the picnic area, along with portable toilets at the entrances to most trails. The water is stunningly clear, allowing you to spot everything from dinosaur footprints to seashells. The trails are clean and well-maintained, with connections that let you choose between long treks or shorter loops. Most trails are shaded, providing a welcome break from the sun. That said, it does get quite hot, so be sure to bring extra water and layers for sun protection. There’s also a charming little store that offers all the essentials. Overall, this place is fantastic for everyone, from seasoned hikers to toddlers just looking to splash around in the water.

It was so peaceful once we walked down to the river. I wish the signage was a little better. The dinosaur tracks in the river are just really neat to see and think about. It was a pretty warm day, but the river was so nice and cool. My husband road his bike around some of the trails. He liked it.

It's a nice place to cool off in the water. I took my shoes off and walked across the slippery rocks to see the dinosaur tracks. I was amazed at how big they were! They offer life jackets to use for safety in the swimming area, too. It's a very clean park that offers several hiking trails, horseback riding, and picnic areas. They also have a fun souvenir store. I can wait to go again.

We were driving through Glen Rose, Texas, and noticed several dinosaur statues and signs around town. Curious, we asked Siri why—and learned about Dinosaur Valley State Park. We decided to take the short 10-mile detour, and it was absolutely worth it! The river area is beautiful, and the dinosaur tracks are fascinating to see up close. The trails to the tracks were well marked, and parking was plentiful and convenient. All of the track sites were within a couple hundred yards of the parking areas, making them easy to reach.

We love coming here. There are some easy hikes and some hard. The river is peaceful and relaxing, and warm enough to play in. The dinosaur footprints are pretty visible and really cool!

As a child my parents took me here, so I knew I had to take my kids as well. We stopped by the little “merch” shop (that’s my kids call it), and I got them some t shirts. I would highly recommend bringing swim clothes for the kids and yourself, so they can swim close to the Dino tracks. There was a high amount of algae today, so certain areas of the Dino tracks were not that visible. Other than that we had a great time in the creek / river.

Lovely place. Drive was worth it. Dino footprints are located in an area called Ballroom something. It's all under water. Take water shoes, water runs knee high in the summer. You'll have to cross the river. Glen Rose is a bit of a corny town. Dino statues are everywhere Clever idea! Nice picnic area to eat at. Bathrooms are decent. Best to go during the week. It will take less time to arrive. Tickets are purchased by time slots.

🦖Family Fun Day, in Glen Rose TX @Dinosaur World with My Daughter and 5 grandchildren who love everything Dinosaurs, until my 3yr old grandson got the opportunity to see them up close and in person, and he was sure that they were going to eat him 🙂🤨😂. As terrible as that sounds, we had a great time. He cried on the way in, and cried when we left because he wants to go back again 🤷🏽👌🏾✨. They have a splash park, an animated museum, a train 🚂 ride, a dinosaur trail that makes for a great learning experience, and exercise, a nice pond with fish and turtles that I'm sure you can feed, and from the looks of it, they fish and turtle knew that we could feed them as well, as you can see in the video the minute we walked up, they all came to the surface. There was so much to see, that we will definitely be going back again 🦕.

Listen , i give nothing but honest reviews so take a second and read what I have to say about this place. This place is great for your first time going, but if you live in the area and go more than once, hoping that just maybe they will come up with some more exciting ideas instead of some worn painted slightly damaged dinosaurs then you would have spent waaaayy to much money yet again and will be highly disappointed unfortunately. Although I will say, we went recently sept 9th 2025 for my son's birthday and they did have a little water park for the kids to cool off in after the short circle walk looking at the dinosaurs, oh! And they did have a pterodactyl in the museum area, a squeaky one displayed lol! I dont know if this is government funded , which would make sense for how poorly its ran. Customer service is way below average , they are worried about you stepping over the stupid ropes so you dont touch the idiotic skeletons laying all over the place smh. Do you remember the movie "land of the lost" with will Ferrell when he goes to that run down "amusement park" and he goes to another dimension? Well this place and its employees are not far off, all I was missing was his tachyon amplifier and i was set lmao! Go once but never again , in my opinion, its not worth the 100's of dollars you will spend on the tickets, train ride, gift shop and everything else they will try and charge you for .

If you like dinosaurs, you will absolutely love this place! They have life-size dinosaurs, you can walk among, an animatronic museum, a dig sight, a park and a gift shop. Its so much fun for kids of all ages! Adult kids too!

Took my 3 year old and he loved it. My only complaint is it's pretty pricey for what it is and general admission doesn't pay for some of the activities, like the train ride or fossil dig. The dinosaurs were the best we've seen at similar attractions. For general admission and the train ride it was $86 for two adults and one child. If we lived closer I think the annual pass would be a better deal.

Over priced general admission, you have to pay extra per person for a train ride, a dig and some other activity. We payed nearly $100 for 3 adults and 2 children. The splash pad is a makeshift 15x15 area with water sprinklers and an electric cord right next to it supplying electricity to some fans on the other side of the sidewalk. The dinosaur information plaques on the trail are half erased. The playground has half of its jungle gym closed off. You're probably better off going half a mile down the road to the State Park.

What a fun trip! We explored the entire park and had a blast! Gem Mining, Fossil Digging, Train Riding, and visiting the museum was all very educational and FUN! The staff is all amazing and helpful. The gift shop is extensive and has a little something for every budget. They also have two big playgrounds for kids up to 12. Definitely bring sunscreen and water because Texas is HOT! DON'T MISS THIS PARK!

We had a lot of fun! I think they offer a lot for the price point. There was hardly anyone there when we went. We walked the trail and saw the dinosaurs with our 4 year old. The trail is a little over .5 mile long with lots of shady spots. There is a stocked pond along the way. The park was large and provided fun entertainment while parents took a break. The extras aren't that expensive and are fun for the Littles!

Big Rocks Park in Glen Rose is a hidden gem for a laid-back family outing. The shallow river is perfect for kids to splash around, and the massive limestone rocks make it feel like nature’s playground. The sunset views were beautiful, and the whole area felt peaceful and relaxed. One thing to be aware of: we spotted a snake in the water, so stay alert, especially with young kids. Still, it felt safe overall, and the mix of water, rocks, and open space made it a memorable stop. A great spot for a picnic, photos, and cooling off on a hot day.

The water depth is very shallow. Too shallow to really swim in if an adult. Very rocky near the river. No shade anywhere. The rocks and sand are quite hot in the summer.

The park was a very beautiful area. Love the river rock bed.

Still like I remember from my childhood in the 80s.. The water was very low, but it's still. A beautiful place. No amenities available. Bring your own chairs.

​Big Rocks Park in Glen Rose, TX, is a scenic and family-friendly day trip destination known for the massive, smooth rocks lining the Paluxy River. ​The water is shallow and safe, making it ideal for younger kids to wade and play during the summer. It's also a great spot for dogs, provided they are strictly kept on a leash. ​Be aware that the parking lot is made of uneven stone, so wear appropriate shoes and drive carefully. ​Overall, this park is a beautiful, low-key, slice of nature perfect for a relaxed family outing.

Very beautiful Great view Great place to walk n clear your mind Amazing sunset

Fun stop in a small town. The rocks are giant boulders with a nice mileish trail near a rustic old downtown.

It was a 5 star for me until recently. Something changed and I hoped to get in touch through their website but seems like most every other company it has become virtually impossible. So I will leave my complaint and review here. When I first tasted Revolver Brewing Blood and Honey many years back, I became an instant fan. However, my last purchase some days back, my favorite beer wasn't available in bottles. So I purchased the available 12 pack in cans. The taste and flavor from this packaging has been the worst ever. Horrible! It is not the Blood and Honey I've grown to enjoy so much. Please don't do away with glass bottles and DUMP the cans. Thank you. J A G

Everything there was good and a great price, product and atmosphere, except for the older white haired guy that worked at the outdoor pavilion was a jerk. It was 10 minutes before closing, but said the bar was closed. My husband said it's not 430. He said, I don't care what they said inside ....We don't have any CO2. He did have canned beer that he could have given us. But just didn't give a crap. Another guy at the bar committed on how the sam guy had a bad attitude earlier when he asked if he could taste something and told him no you just get it and gave him a full beer and took a ticket.

It’s a drive from Dallas but worth it for a good Saturday. Whole experience was great. For 20 bucks you get a wristband for 6 pours of the many options of beers. Plenty plenty of space under the shade and out in the sun. Live singers when I was there. Very glad I finally made the trip out and see it for myself.

Although Revolver is more of a destination brewery for anyone living in DFW, it's worth Saturday afternoon visit. For $15, you get 6, 8 ounce pours of any of the 30 or so beers/selzers on tap. A lot of them you can't get in stores. You get to keep the glass. They have semi indoor and outdoor seating, with live music and a food truck. It was a fun time for my friends and myself.

So happy to finally have made it out to their brewery! Very Large property, nicely set up for visiting and great outdoor area with food truck , music stage and games. Beer of course was great and I had fun talking with the staff about the brewery. Looking forward to going back.

If you are looking for clear blue skies and a great place to drink Texas beer, look no further than Revolver Brewing in Granbury. They are only open to the public on Saturday afternoons, but it is worth the wait. Patrons over 21 pay $15 for a souvenir cup and 4 to 6 sample pours depending on the time of arrival. The beer is tasty and it is a fun atmosphere with live music. Several shaded pavilions available for large parties. Dogs are permitted in the outdoor areas.

Epically huge brewery, perfect for a family picnic. Every $10 glass to keep comes with four short pours of their best options - always Blood and Honey, but also plenty of brewery-only options. Way out there, so plan for a trip. Barbecue table was set up on a recent Saturday.

The Kimbell Museum in Fort Worth made a strong impression on me. The atmosphere is cozy and peaceful, and it makes you want to stay longer and simply enjoy the art. I was especially amazed to see original works by Caravaggio, Michelangelo, and other great masters. It’s a rare chance to experience world-famous masterpieces in person. The exhibition is beautifully curated, everything is high-quality and thoughtfully arranged. This place truly inspires and leaves a pleasant aftertaste. Highly recommend it for a cultural escape

Went for the Myth and Marble rotating exhibit. Also, walked around to see their permanent art collections. Overall, very nice and interesting. Lots of French artists but still some good variety. Preferred the sculptures and pottery over the paintings. Definitely a fun and quick thing to do on an outing. May not recommend bringing young children as the museum staff enforce “quiet and pleasant” atmosphere. Also, not allowed to get too close to each piece not all are roped off with preferred distance for viewing but there is quite a bit of staff stationed in each area. Myth and Marble exhibit was interesting but not as good as I was expecting. A lot of statues not in their original design or were renovated with modern materials to reflect the idea of what it would have looked like when first being made.

A true Louis Kahn masterpiece. I love that the museum features works by Picasso, Alma-Tadema, and Tintoretto—and the best part: admission is free! You can fully enjoy both the stunning architecture and the remarkable art collection.

I recently visited the ancient Roman sculpture exhibit, and it was a captivating experience! The collection was not only fascinating but also beautifully curated, allowing each piece to shine. I found myself completely engrossed in the artistry and stories behind the sculptures. It was a wonderful day.

Very fun and cool, the children's place have lots of toys and books. The museum have plenty of collections which impressed me a lot! I love the Chinese collections and was amazed by the Maya art collection. Hope I will go there another day!

The Kimbell Art Museum is an exceptionally clean, well-organized, and beautifully maintained facility. The collection features a wide range of artwork spanning various time periods, with a strong emphasis on European, Central, and South Asian pieces. I visited on a weekday, and the museum was pleasantly quiet, making for a peaceful and immersive experience. I also enjoyed a glass of white wine at the museum café, which added a nice touch of relaxation to my visit. Overall, it was a wonderful cultural experience, and I highly recommend it to both art lovers and casual visitors alike.

I love visiting! They have wonderful exhibits and their permanent collection is beautiful. Staff is always friendly and very helpful. I don't mind the srive from Dallas, a visit to the Kimball is always a good day.

Absolutely incredible place to visit. The Ft. Worth Botanical Gardens are worth the trip. We didn't get to cover half of the property but spent a solid 3 hours on the first half. Bring water and snacks and plan to spend some time exploring. It has something for all ages and overall just a wonderful place. Highly recommend!

Absolutely beautiful and refreshing gardens. We went while they had the musical swings, which were so fun! They’re taking them out December 7th, so definitely visit before! I visited around 9AM-11AM on Sunday, perfect time to go. Not too hot outside/in the conservatory and not too many people/no crowds

We love this place! It’s our favorite place to go on family walks. Right now they have the musical swings which are fun for any age! I love how we can feed the giant fishes and see all the gorgeous plants. Every time we come there is something new to see! This time of year beware you might see some creepy crawlers. Perfect for Halloween! 🕷️🕸️

A great place to go when you have a family gathering and you want to do some special activities outdoors or just pack a lunch and go sit on the nice big lawn and watch all the beautiful insects go by sometimes butterflies but definitely fall is not the best place here unless you like the Christmas lights for the Christmas light show. I use the gardens when they were in full bloom for weddings in June and I've attached one that I did long time ago but it gives you an idea just how pretty the place is when it's full of color.

This is a fantastic garden and is one of the oldest in the entire state! You can explore over 20 themed spaces across 100+ acres. There are native plants and exotic plants that have been selected to thrive in the central Texas climate.

This is a wonderful place to visit—perfect for studying, enjoying a peaceful walk, spending time with friends and family, or simply unwinding in nature. The area is beautiful, tranquil, and filled with scenic views. If you get thirsty or a bit hungry, there’s a small spot nearby where you can grab a quick bite. There are plenty of places to sit and relax, and the walking trails offer a great way to explore the surroundings. Highly recommended for anyone looking to connect with nature in a serene setting.

Even though on our walk through the garden it rained we still enjoyed our time. Had the opportunity to see flowers I have not seen before and take in all the beauty of the botanical garden. Highly recommend getting the $4 bag of fish food for the fish and turtles. Such a peaceful and calming place to visit.

As a destination, it's a very cool place. The buildings and atmosphere are truly amazing. The restaurants are great, and the buildings really look the part. But things are quite touristy; only a few shops have authentic feel to the western goods they sell. Most are of the t-shirts and trinkets variety, although there are boots galore and a fair array of hats for sale, and the tiniest bit of tack. One excellent furniture store. Terrific place to see urban "woo!" girls in shorts and boots falling out of their tops; it's easy to imagine this is a Bachelorette destination. Pricing varies from cheap tourist trash to woah, pardner, I left the Platinum card in my other pants. If like to have seen more local craftsmen but I think that's true for me everywhere I go. $30 to park ensures you don't just drop in for an hour, the place is a commitment best spread over the chunk of a day. Glad we went, hope my son takes his family some day, not sure I'll be back for a couple of decades but sure enjoyed it once.

As someone who lived in Fort Worth, the Stockyards isn’t my go-to place to hang out, but if you’re visiting or looking for something unique, I cannot recommend it more! First, of course, the history is so interesting and the area is such a good representation of the Western/Texan style while being modernized. It is largely a shopping center with bars and restaurants. If you’re visiting Fort Worth, DEFINITELY take some hours to explore! There’s some good food, Texan-owned businesses, fun stores to check out, unique bars, and more! Definitely spend some time on the street to check out the longhorns and enjoy the people watching! Definitely stop into Billybob’s! Enjoy!

Well worth the visit! Lots of shopping and plenty of great restaurants to choose from. We had lunch at Provender Hall. Sat upstairs (you have to be able to climb the stairs.) Great atmosphere, awesome service, and outstanding. Parking can be a challenge. There is valet parking available throughout the area. Free parking is available, and it fills up fast.

Great place to take the entire family and could easily spend a couple days there and not get bored. We visited a lot of shops and grabbed some food on a Sunday and watched the cattle drive. We had a lot of fun and found some great treasures.

So much can be said about the Stockyards. From the bulls to the bars. Billy Bobs was awesome. We were there mid day so it wasn't busy at all. The night life picked up and we did a little dancing. We will definitely be visiting again 😊

Great place for an adult weekend getaway! We visited the world famous Billy Bob’s for a concert, watched the daily longhorn cattle drive, attended the rodeo and shopped at the stores. Parking in the public lots range $10-$25 a day. Be prepared for a lot of walking.

The wife and I decided that we would bring our teenage daughter and our autistic son here this week along with our ranch hand. Our son just loves the longhorns and the dinosaur shaped water feature. We all had a good time. Great place to visit with the family!! I just wish that the Old Spaghetti Warehouse was still open and running like back in the day!!

Wow this zoo was amazing and clean, we spent 5 hours walking around looking at all the animals. Very well kept and maintained. Food choices are okay and prices are good. Loved seeing how many animals were out. Price for admission is right on in my opinion. There is plenty of shade and lots of places to sit and relax along the way.

I have been to zoos across America and this by far is the best I’ve been to. Clean, thoughtfully laid out with misting and covered areas that blend in with the environment for you to view the animals. The food was really good and not expensive. So many options also. Now let’s talk animals. Other zoos I’ve been to have their animals in small spaces and you can tell they’re under distress. The animals here are vibrant and healthy! They are so fun to watch. The babies are adorable 🥰 My son and I had the best time here yesterday. I live 2 hours away but am going to get a membership because it’s just that great of a place. Well done to the owners!

This zoo is worth visiting. It has a lot to offer. The theming throughout the zoo makes it really nice. It is clean with lots of paths and lots of plants. We live in Dallas, but it is really worth the drive all the way across time. We really enjoyed the barn play area as well. It has a nice slide and lots of entertaining activities. One thing to keep in mind is that if you go on the weekend parking is absolutely crazy. We actually parked outside the zoo and walked to the zoo. We will definitely be back soon

As someone who hasn't been to the zoo or aquarium in decades this was a fun experience to be able to visit. Much better zoo than the Los Angeles zoo I went to when I was a kid not knocking the other one. Great prices for food and entry very shaded almost didn't need sunblock. Bring your kids bring your wife Heck bring your girlfriend just not both at the same time it'll be fun.

The Fort Worth Zoo is one of the best zoos we have been to. We were very impressed with the enclosures and habitats the animals have. The facility is clean and well maintained. Staff were friendly. Lots of animals to see. We also loved seeing all the improvements they are making to better the environment for the animals. Will definitely be back!

I know there are a lot of people who don't like zoos because they think that animals are mistreated or that they were taken out of their natural habitat. I respect that. But within that perspective of people, the animals look very clean, the area is clean, the water of the elephants is spectacular, and I would like to recommend it. I Love it!!

Not the biggest zoo I have been to but it is always a great experience. They have a wide variety of animals with great themed exhibits. For the kids you have a petting zoo, train ride, carousal, and can feed the giraffes. Every time I go my kids and I have a ton of fun. The average time is spend there is 3 to 5 hours. I would definitely recommend it the families or people who love seeing animals.

Amazing experience!!! They are the best! Their team is great, so friendly and helpful! This was one of the best things I've done! Thanks for everything! I'm so glad our company chose this speedway for our event! I would definitely come back with my friends and family so they can live this great experience too!

What can I say about a state of the art massive Texas sized venue that it's main purpose is NASCAR, but hold a multitude of events. NASCAR, swap meets, LS Fest, Good Guys, Banda's Y Trokas, Hemi Fest, No Prep racing down out road, October Truck Madness, and many more! If you haven't been then you're missing out!

Recently the speedway has been playing movies to raise funds for Kerr. They ask for a $20 donation. I was there for How to Train your Dragon and the F1 movie. I think this is a phenomenal idea that they need to keep doing! The last time I was there, they sold Andy’s custard. They were practically almost out of all of their ice cream by the end of the night. Next time it would be cool if they invited more food trucks! I really hope the speedway keeps this up! Even if it’s for other charities, it was a ton of fun for family and friends!

Went for the annual ghost meet, never seen so many motorcycles at once in my life. Great music, food, and good vibes all around. Was a parking lot event. All I would say is to have more food vendors and more lights towards the evening to display more visibility. All in all, i will be back next year.

As a faculty member at Tarleton State University, I brought a group of Sport Management majors to the Texas Motor Speedway expecting an educational and engaging experience. Unfortunately, the visit was extremely disappointing from start to finish. The staff we encountered were unwelcoming and appeared disinterested, giving the impression that our presence was an inconvenience rather than an opportunity to showcase their facility to future sport industry professionals. They said there were too many events going on to accommodate us, but there wasn’t. And if so, why book us?? The tour itself was poorly organized — it started late, lasted less than 30 minutes, and consisted mostly of looking through a window at the track. We were not permitted to walk on the track or meaningfully engage with any behind-the-scenes operations. They didn’t talk us through anything other than the basic google questions. Considering the cost and the reputation of the venue, the experience fell far short of expectations. The facilities and presentation felt outdated, and there was little to no educational value offered. As an educator, it was disheartening to see such a missed opportunity to inspire students and demonstrate effective sport facility management. Overall, it was not worth the time or resources and unfortunately served as an example of what not to do when hosting academic or professional groups. I gave it one star because zero isn’t an option.

Went for the NASCAR races. I thought it would have been chaos but was pleseantly surprised. We were there 2 hrs prior to racetime and were able to park for FREE very close to our gate. Was able to bring in our food/drinks but they had some great concessions and we spent money on a large selection of shirts and other items. I recommend good ear protection for racing. We were in seats and they were fairly comfy and in the shade. Getting out was obviously slower but traffic flowed well. Officers were directing traffic. The only thing I didn't like and it's not venue related is that police had shut down the road we needed to get to. We had to route to i35 to i30 to get to our destination instead of going east then south.

1st race and rally enjoyed myself. Received tickets and decided to try it out. At 1st it was a lil boring but bam it got interesting. Then choosing favorites to see who could maintain the lead but drivers slipped by while following the escorts. Sorry again if using the wrong terms, 1st time. But check it out.

The Fort Worth Water Gardens are a unique spot with some stunning features, like the beautiful trees, striking rock wall “mountains,” and the impressive fountains. The active water features are mesmerizing to watch and really set the gardens apart. That said, it can get pretty crowded, which makes it harder to fully enjoy the space, and there’s a bit of an odor near the first pool when you walk down the steps. The gardens can also feel a little less inviting at night, as there are often homeless individuals around. Overall, it’s worth visiting during the day to appreciate the fountains, design, and natural beauty.

It is absolutely beautiful but a good portion of the fountain was not working. You can you see my pictures a lot of the white portions are just staining on the rocks not actual water coming down. Kind of ruined the aesthetic. :/ hopefully they get it fixed soon because it is a very relaxing and calming environment. They don't want you climbing on all of the features that don't have water, even though it's impossible to keep kids off, of but the portion with a scary descent with no handrails into the water feature is encouraged. Confused:/

I’ve only been here once before, years ago, and decided to stop by again while showing friends around Fort Worth. It’s still such a cool and peaceful spot right in the middle of the city. A few of the water features weren’t working this time, which was kind of a bummer, but it’s still worth a quick visit. You can walk through and see everything in about 20 minutes. Definitely a unique place to bring out-of-town guests or just take a little break from the city noise.

We had planned to go there many days ago, but couldn't manage our time. Finally, when we did visit, the mesmerizing view of the fantastic water garden was a source of mental peace. Many people were there, enjoying the beauty of the waterfall, the calm garden, and the small artificial mountains. We truly loved our time there.

This place is breathtaking and fun because you can actually walk all the way down into the big one! We definitely had a great time and would highly recommend it!

They were pretty cool. Hadn't been there since I was a kid. It's free to check out except you have to pay for parking. I only put like a dollar on the meter and that was about 20 minutes longer than we needed.

Absolutely stunning attraction in the heart of downtown! Love the different pools that create different atmospheres and transform you to a different place away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Great local theatre that offers a variety of opportunities to all ages to be involved in theatre arts including acting, dancing, and of course music. Also tech support available to learn and do hands on. Performances are stellar and definitely worth the price of admission!

We have attended several productions and always enjoy the drive to Cleburne. The plays have always been very entertaining and well worth the effort to attend. I highly recommend!

Went to see 101 dalmatians kids. What a great program. To see these young special needs children preform was amazing. Thanks to all the people that works with the children. Thanks to Bond family dentistry for all their support. The work you do is so wonderful. Thanks.

Their work with Harmony Connections special needs performers is outstanding.

Super fun intimate theater with amazing actors & shows. We saw 'Fiddler On The Roof' and it was so much fun. Definitely coming back again!

We love the Plaza! This theater is by far, the best around! Amazing talent - both singing and acting are good. Great seating, no matter where you sit. Not a bad seat in the whole theater! My husband and I have been season ticket holders for several years now and we look forward to the variety of shows. It's family friendly, so we even take our kids (ages 10, 8 and 5) with us to some of the shows. Would highly recommend the Plaza Theater.

Plaza Theater is AMAZING! The work they do with special needs kids is beyond words! So heart touching and fulfilling. Each actor/actress have put in so much work and it shows in a great way. Definitely will be going back to see another show!

This is hidden gem. We came for the tour and stayed for a few glasses of their great wines. Wonderful tour, great property and most importantly, great people. We were lucky enough to sit down with the founder, Gene Estes, for a great conversation. He is a wonderful person. Do yourself a favor and visit this great place, you’ll be happy you did.

I visited Lost Oak Winery with a friend last year and had the most amazing time!! First, we took a tour of their property, and we got to learn SO MUCH about the grapes and vines, and how they maintain their health and growth during the off season. We also learned about which grapes they hand pick and how those are processed, in comparison with which they purchase and then remove debris, etc. We also got to see where they ferment the wine and store the barrels. The room of barrels smelt AMAZING! The tour was absolutely awesome and we had a great time. We never felt talked down to and felt like we could always contribute and ask questions! Additionally, the grounds as a whole are BEAUTIFUL. There is a lake and a bridge, there are outdoor tables, and there is a stream! We found it to be beautiful! We also got to do a wine tasting after the tour, and this was also super fun and fascinating. The selected wines were great choices, as they all tapped into different flavor profiles and styles. I ended up leaving with three bottles because of how much I enjoyed the wines. The sangiovese specifically was one of my all-time favorite sangiovese bottles I’ve ever had. I highly recommend this one! Please check out Lost Oak Winery!! It is very much worth the time!

Celebrated and catered my friends baby shower here and it was an amazing venue. The space was open and no one felt crowded. The staff who were there showcased amazing hospitality towards us and were very helpful. The outdoor space is lovely overlooking the water and the grounds were very nicely up-kept. If you’re looking for a beautiful, not so expensive venue to host your next event I would certainly look into this place! We came from Florida to provide the catering and charcuterie setup and would do my best to partner with this space if I was a local.

We took a tour with Ashley, it was so much fun. We got to see where they grow their grapes, the place they produce the wine and got to look around the beautiful property. Afterwards got to try 4 amazing wines. Ashley was so sweet and helpful. We stayed for live music and more wine. It was an amazing experience and we can’t wait to go back. 🍷❤️

The Tour was great! The Pairing was wonderful! We enjoyed the wine, the people, and the host Riley. If you can request a tour or pairing with her you won’t be disappointed.

If you do not have sweet wine available to complete a flight, then do not sell the flight to a customer. We were in from out of town, stopped in, and had a server say I was spoiled for preferring a good sweet wine. We will not be returning. Too busy and only 2 staff to try and serve....

We love this winery!!!! Ashley was the best Tour Guide ever as she walked us all through the grounds and buildings!!! She shared with us the history from its beginnings to present day with insights of the founders lives as they became master Texas wine makers!!!! Treat yourself to a great day there and enjoy the delicious wine and food offerings!!!!!

Full details below, but overall experience was poor and would not recommend this place. Movie experience: 2/5 The worst part of this was how the waiter/waitresses would come by in the middle of the movie and block your view. They even brought the checks right at the ending / major scenes of the movie, not enjoyable. They then proceeded to try cleaning off the trays/tables making noise and blocking your view again. Staff : 3/5 Front office / desk staff were very nice, waitresses seemed a bit short and rude but overall I wouldn't say this was a deal breaker. Food: 2/5 The food was really bland and priced as high as a typical restaurant. I don't mind paying this price, but quality needs to backup the pricing. Seating: 1/5 Very poor seating, in fact there was many rows that have office chairs instead of real chairs. There was too many negatives to make this place worth going back to, that's why I rated it at just 1 star instead of a 2 or 3.

Great place. Pre order tickets and pick your seats before you leave your home. Theater 8 is updated and smaller. It's actually very small and you can not sit anywhere with a level view. The chairs are all short back. Broken. Wobbly arm rests. Our table was left over dirty from someone else. The cup our water was served in was chipped. The coffee ordered and brought to is was half full of coffee grounds. All in all a terrible experience.

Nice, clean SMG but if you're expecting loungers in each theatre, you will be disappointed. Tonight, we decided to watch Jumanji at this location. It is located in a heavily-trafficked area with tons of shopping and dining options surrounding the venue. Although they messed up our food order, the servers were pretty awesome. We will eventually return for another visit but we certainly won't go out of our way to return anytime soon....

Slow service and high prices for what you get. I would recommend eating elsewhere. They don't let you take your seat before the movie starts even if you make it obvious you're going to order food. I asked for soft drink refill and it took them 15 minutes to come back with my soft drink. The $25 meal deal is a joke because you still have to pay an extra $4 for 1 drink and $5 for dessert. Our totaltotal food bill was $50 for 2 adults and on child -without alcohol! The movie was $25 and our total spent at #studiomoviegrill was $75 -that's too much for slow service and making us wait 1 hour to eat. We have been to most of the other #movietaverns and #studiomoviegrills - I have to say this is the 2ND to the worst one in the DFW area.

This was my first time visiting Studio Movie Grill, and I really enjoyed it. I thought the drink selection was decent, the bartenders in the lobby made you feel comfortable and very polite. The food was good, I really liked the service and convenience of getting delivered to, never leaving your seat. The only reason of not giving it a 5 would be the seats. They don't recline, and they are smaller, more executive chairs. Still comfy, just not a five star chair. I recommend you check it out, good for a date night.

There is nothing wrong with this Studio Movie Grill. The workers are very attentive and the food looks good. I am giving this place 3 stars because the seats are not that comfortable. I understand that the seats are designed this way for eating but I came here to watch a movie. I am also giving this place 3 stars because the sound system is incredibly loud. I could feel the vibrations of the speakers.

It's been a while since I've been here, and I'll definitely be back soon. The chairs are in groups of four. So find your letter before you start walking up to your seat. Great ticket prices, clean with good service. The movie volume was way too loud to begin with, but the manager adjusted it on request. By the end of the movie the theatre was a little too warm. Overall great experience!

The place was filled with smoke and smelled like something was burning. My eyes burned and the kids only wanted to stay for about 30 min. There isn’t much to do but can be fun for the littler ones. You have to watch your kids because there isn’t much supervision unless it’s a ride you pay extra for.

The kids had a great time here. There was plenty for them to do and very adventurous. The only downside was the crowd. There were so many kids due to several birthday parties going on at the same time. Luckily the kids at the venue were polite and were not too rambunctious. The restrooms were not too bad considering the number of people at the venue. Overall it was a good experience.

My child enjoys the activities offered, but I will choose a different place next time, even if we have to drive further. Drinks spilled in multiple locations on the floor when we arrived. Two hours later, the same spills remained. Food and drink trash all over the place. No supervision at any of the activities unless a harness was required, which means kids were not following the rules, and generally made it harder to enjoy some of the experiences. I’ve been to parks with much better supervision around the entire facility, and found the experience to be much better and much cleaner. Too bad since this one is conveniently located.

We celebrated my Grandsons Birthday at this location. We technically celebrated at home the week prior but since it was on a weekday after work we decided to take the boys here. I called ahead of time and asked if we could bring our own cupcakes, a young man on the phone said we could but that we might have a hard time finding our own table because they were busy. We get there I purchase wrist bands for 4 kids with socks. The young lady up front asked us if we were bringing anything in and I let her know we had intended to have cupcakes. She advised us that the tables were free but if you bring cupcakes then it’s $50. So the tables are first come first serve and free to sit down unless you have cake or cupcakes then it’s $50. Needless to say we didn’t pay $50 so once the boys asked for their cupcakes we walked them outside when it was 45 degrees so they could eat them right outside the front door. It’s a shame when companies like this price gouge families any way they can. Never going back to this place again. We did buy their crappy pizzas and paid over $90 dollars total.

Riley was a great party host for our nieces birthday! He really went the extra mile to make sure the day was successful. 10/10 would recommend coming here for your next birthday!

What an amazing time family and friends had here at Urban Air Mansfield for my daughter’s birthday! Clean facility, fresh food, and professional staff. But our party host in particular, Brooklyn, was outstanding. I truly believe that we had the best host in the building. She was extremely sweet, and was there for everything we needed. I never had to go around looking for her when in need and she catered to our party so well throughout the two hours we were there. She is truly a beautiful, amazing young woman, and I want to thank her for making our daughter’s party such an easy & amazing experience here at Urban Air Mansfield!

Arrived at 5:08 pm with my two kids and left at 5:40 pm after talking to Manager. My kids had XYZONE trampoline socks. They said that I had to purchase specific name brand Uben Air shocks to continue using the place. I asked for a refund and they said no because they had already played. Total time spent playing after arguing and requesting refund was less than 25 min. They should have stated that from the beginning that thay had to be Uban Air socks specifically, before I made payment of the deluxe package of $56.27. I won't be going there ever! Especially if your main concern is making money over any kids enjoyment.
