Course has gone through some changes since I played it last but it was in very good condition and the green rolled pretty good
Jeff P — Google review
Im from Arizona, and when I travel, I like to try to play different courses, and I was able to play Chickasaw Pointe. The greens were surprisingly fast, and overall, the course was in good shape for this time of summer. Staff was friendly, but the only bummer was they didn't have any more logo balls that is like to collect for every course I play. Just one less ball to add to my collection.

Always enjoy playing golf at Chickasaw Pointe golf course during our annual DOGFEST Lots of fun playing golf for 3 days then playing cards and dominoes with a group of men at Choctaw Casino in Durant Oklahoma after golf each day.
Owen J — Google review
This is a nice course with very nice staff and equipment. The food was amazing and almost everywhere had a beautiful view. The only thing that I’m being picky about is the greens. They’re inconsistent, all kinds of bumpy or completely eroded on a couple holes. I will return and I had a great time, but I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t frustrating.
James L — Google review
Beautiful course, great layout, and the greens were true. It was my first time out (Fri, Oct 16th). I came in the afternoon around 4pm and there wasn't alot of cars. Pace of play was perfect for a single. The gentlemen gave me a discount for the first time coming out which was appreciated! I will be playing here when my buddies want to make a casino run. At a two hour drive, it's just out of reach for one of my regularly played courses. Still loved everything about my visit and I am looking forward to the next one. Highly recommend this course. Thanks Chickasaw Pointe!
William E — Google review
We golfed here about 10 yrs ago and came back this past weekend with our golf group for our Ryder Cup style tournament for 3 days with 24 players. The course was in great shape and the views were wonderful. The entire staff at the course was fantastic even with the rain delays on Friday, and still getting everyone out on the course for a great 1st round. Shout out to Zac, Cort, (pro shop)Kenna, Kaylee (restaurant) and of course Malorie with the Beverage cart! We had a blast and thanks for all the great food and service! See you all next year!

Played behind a series of 4-somes playing a money game. Playing at 6-7 hour round pace - we waited 15–20 minutes on every tee. Called pro shop and they said they would do something. I went inside and just a 17 year old playing on his phone. Not worth $80 or anything close to it

Tedra and Jordan were the main event at our Bachelorette party and they did an amazing job! They even kept with the theme in naming the paint brushes and kept us all laughing as we attempted to immitate their art. Everyone's pieces were amazing and we were blown away at how well it turned out given our collectively poor artistic skills.

Eden Hill Winery and Vineyard

Winery
Food & Drink
Small, charming tasting room featuring wines from the estate vineyard & Napa-style cheese plates.
Amazing experience, well worth a stop even if only for a glass or 2. Don’t miss the cheese and charcuterie board (and the Gouda cheese and pecan dip!!) Bill was very knowledgeable and helpful. A fountain of information and certainly knows his wines! Well done Bill and all the best. Very peaceful setting especially outside watching the hummingbirds glide around. Spectacular!
Nevine M — Google review
Tasting flight and cheese board were great! Beautiful place. Definitely want to tour next time.

A friend of mine suggested going here for July 4 and it was so pretty and so relaxing. I’m so glad I went. The grounds are beautiful. They had food trucks tons of land, pretty ponds. It’s just a very serene beautiful winery. The coolest thing is seeing the perfect grapes on the leaves. I’m not a big wine drinker, but I loved going there and I would go back.
Barbara — Google review
Eden Hill offered an afternoon of live jazz music along with a complimentary glass of wine and a truffle for mothers in honor of Mother's Day. Suggestions for improvements: more shade options with view of the band and more variety in price points of wine.
Gina S — Google review
So this was just a happy discovery. I was at the framers market downtown Dallas and walked up to Eden Hill's wine tasting table. The wines were and got a bottle of the sparkling wine. The host told me about the winery, vineyard and tasting so we went and it was awesome. It was good and there was live music. The staff was great, friendly and knowledgeable will definitely go back.

I've been a Founder's Club member for years and love everything about this winery and vineyard. The wine is exceptional and the staff are helpful and knowledgeable. If you haven't been, you should go!
Kendra E — Google review
We have been visiting Eden Hill for the past few years now. It is by far the best Winery in North Texas. The wines are amazing! The Staff is so helpful and friendly. It's the perfect spot to hop in the car on a Saturday, take a scenic drive in the country, and enjoy some great wines with friends or family. Clark & Linda are the owners and are some of the nicest people I have ever met. The wines are very reasonably priced and they also offer custom cheese trays that are delicious. They have frequent events including live music, sip & shop events, holiday events, and much more. If you haven't taken the time to visit this beautiful winery in Celina, TX, then I highly recommend you take the time to do so. You won't be disappointed!

Mitas Hill Vineyard

Permanently Closed
Winery
Food & Drink
Mitas Hill Vineyard is a beautiful property with impeccable service and fantastic food. The owners are very welcoming, and the staff goes above and beyond to ensure a great experience, even for large groups. The wine selection is excellent, and the wood-fired pizza is highly recommended. Wedding accommodations are also top-notch, with delicious food and outstanding service. While it's primarily a winery, some visitors have suggested offering options other than wine at the bar to cater to all preferences.
My wife and I visited Mitas Hill for the first time recently. It is only a couple miles from our home and we just found out about it. We first noticed as we drove up how beautiful the property is. As we entered the restaurant we were warmly greeted and seated promptly. The wine was great, the food was fantastic and the service was outstanding. Isaac was our server and he did a great job. We will be back!

I love to visit local Texas Wineries. The wines here were average, but the knowledge of them poor. We ordered bruschetta as an appetizer and 34 minutes later I we received 5 pieces of cold toast with tomatoes on them and a sprinkle of balsamic... something I could have made it home in under 5 minutes. The atmosphere was appealing, but that's about the only thing this place has going for it.
Mely B — Google review
Pizza and salad were good. Can take a long while if they are busy. Tour was fun & informative. Been a several larger winery tours. Nice to see a perspective from a smaller vineyard.
Brennan S — Google review
Great sips, friendly server, and light and airy, if cold, atmosphere. They took way too long on coffee over and over though. A little pricey for food but great for wine.
Shane H — Google review
Really great place. Met the owners, very nice people. Service for our group of 17 was impeccable, and that's not easy! The appetizers were very good, and the entrees were fantastic. We had the sea bass and 10 oz tenderloin, both cooked to perfection. The lobster risotto was yummy! If we could suggest any changes, it would be the following: We'd love it if something other than wine was offered at the bar. Yes, it's a winery and wine bar, but some of the guys were looking for a beer or cocktail. I believe it could be offered without detracting from the awesome wine pairings. Second, the dining room is a bit loud, especially when there is live music. The room is a bit too small for anything but soft music. Some fine dining establishments do not allow children under a certain age in their dining rooms on busy weekend evenings. I don't know if this is an option, but there were a few youngsters present who would've probably been much happier making a ruckus at home. And more than a few diners who would've agreed. But we do recommend Mitas Hill for the great food, nice people, and exceptional service.

Wife and I married May 2016. Wedding staff and wedding accommodations were fantastic. We had dinner, wine n beer for about 45 people. Dinner was chicken, potatoes, n asparagus, our guests were absolutely delighted with the meal. Service and wait staff again Fantastic! From arrival til departure we were extraordinarily happy with Mitas Hill and the staff.

We had family from out of town with us when we visited. The tour was informative and we really enjoyed it. Then we stayed and had wood fired pizza; which is probably the best pizza we've ever had in Texas. Everyone was so friendly and we really enjoyed ourselves. We definitely will be back! Thanks for a great day!!
Julie W — Google review
It is clear that the family who owns this place has issues. We scheduled a tour weeks in advance and it was still late and we were treated as though it was an inconvenience to deal with us. The tour was atrocious! Harold, the owner, does nothing but complain about his family and the wine business. He did absolutely nothing to promote the purchase of their wine or food. Basically, they wanted us not to be there. The "tasting" started late and was done in front of an exit door with constant traffic. The daughter who presented was personable and quite pleasant but dressed inappropriately for the clientele. We also had young children sitting in on the tasting and on the tour. Not sure that is even legal at the tasting. This place has so much potential. The setting is beautiful and the wine they make is quite good. They do nothing to promote it. They seem to resent having to do tours so should simply stop--especially if Harold is going to continue as the guide. The family tension is palpable. The setting and building are gorgeous. Please sell it to someone who wants to run a business or hire people to manage the place.

Toyota Stadium

Mentioned on 
13 lists 
Stadium
Sights & Landmarks
Toyota Stadium is a sprawling 145-acre complex that serves as the home stadium for the professional soccer team, FC Dallas. The stadium boasts an impressive atmosphere for watching soccer matches, with DJs playing music before games and a laid-back vibe among fans. The parking is easily accessible and going through security is hassle-free. Clean bathrooms are available throughout the complex. On Military Appreciation Night, there were fireworks after the game that were well-received by attendees.
Went to the FC Dallas and Philadelphia Union Match. It was a great experience, I sat next to the fan zone and loved the energy. Can't wait for all of the updates to be completed. I wish there was better access to the Soccer Hall of Fame during the match.
Jonathan — Google review
Toyota Stadium is a fantastic venue for watching a football game. As a soccer stadium, it offers a more intimate atmosphere compared to larger venues, making you feel closer to the action on the field. I’ve only attended one game here, so I can’t speak for every section, but from what I observed, it seemed like there’s not a bad seat in the house. We were seated in Section 131, Row 13, Seats 6 and 7, with a great view of the field. We entered and exited via Lamar Hunt Way, moving efficiently through security in just a couple of minutes, which was impressive given the sold-out crowd of 20,000. The biggest challenge was getting an Uber after the game. Traffic was heavily congested in all directions, and there wasn’t a designated ride share area that we could find. We didn't even see signs mentioning ride share. We had to walk a couple of blocks to find an open street where we could meet our driver.
Brian S — Google review
I always enjoy getting to go see the FC Dallas games here. The seats are great, the food is usually pretty good and the staff are typically very friendly (especially when the metal detector goes off when you walk through it 🤣). It's always funny watching/hearing the entire stadium Booing at a player from the opposing team the entire game because said player was being unsportsman-like and causing trouble. Then you have the elementary school-aged boys who like to chant the entire game and jump up and down, hoping to get noticed by the players. Overall, it's a great experience and I will absolutely come back to watch another game. Also, their after game drone shows are top tier!
Rachel W — Google review
Low grade because its under construction and a lot of the food options repeat, not a lot stood out. They did have a souvenir cup but stopped selling standard drinks like water in the 75th minute which was not cool at 90 degrees and 30 mins of game time left. Easy in and out and lots of parking were a plus. On this particular night they had a drone show which helped with the shortfalls.

Alex Z — Google review
Great stadium. It's not a big stadium, so all seats have a great view of the field, no seat is too far. I prefer to have a more angled view of the game, so the higher seats are actually better for me, since the stadium is small. However, if you prefer to be very close to the players, the lower seats are the best option, as they are very close to the field. Food is not too expensive and from time to time they have $1 hot dogs and $3 beers. Great experience overall.

Landon Winery, located in McKinney, Texas, is a popular spot for wine enthusiasts. With two locations in historic downtown McKinney and Greenville, it's easily accessible from Dallas and Fort Worth. The winery is renowned for producing top-notch Texas wines, offering visitors the chance to observe the wine-making process at either site.

A nice spot centrally located in downtown for wine. There is ample indoor or outdoor seating available. Wines are available to taste, glass pour, or bottle. The bubbly we very nice this time. Service was okay but a little disorganized, likely due to other guests. Prices are reasonable. Will behaved family friendly. Parking may be tough at times. I'll be stopping by anytime I need some wine.

This is a charming and cozy place to enjoy a glass of wine and great conversation with friends. The wine selection is excellent, but the champagne truly stands out. It's phenomenal. The staff is consistently friendly, welcoming, and helpful, which adds to the warm atmosphere. Whatever you do, don’t skip the Landon charcuterie board. I’m not sure how they do it, but it pairs perfectly with everything! Highly recommend for a relaxed and enjoyable outing

Bit of a different service, order at the bar, then find seating. Had to go to the bar for any orders after initial order. Food came out on a small tray, had to ask for a plate, flatware and napkins. For area and price point expected more than a paper plate and paper napkins. Grilled cheese was good.

I know McKinney is family friendly, but I went there this past weekend. Terrific wine, as always. Patio weather was great. Only problem is I want to enjoy my $20 glass of wine with no screaming children by my table. Children should not be in a wine bar. Get a sitter.

So sadly today must have been an “Off” day for customer service!! We walked in for a bottle of wine to enjoy outside with finally beautiful weather on patio. Barely greeted, asked for white wine suggestions… set menu In front of us and asked if we were, Members?? We are not, so the silent treatment continued with no help suggesting anything!!!! Asked kindly for patio and stemmed glasses, that was a “No” , however a tower of stemmed glasses were outside for tasting!! No smile No service! Wine was really good, so that helped!!!

Alexis H — Google review
I'm torn rating this place because the food, wine and ambiance are wonderful. However, the establishment doesn't wait the tables. Given the high price point, this was surprising. I chose this location because I'm already familiar with the Denison location and it seemed like a good halfway point to meet friends. The Denison location waits their tables and buses the plates when the food is gone. Why the disparity?

Riders Field

Mentioned on 
8 lists 
Stadium
Baseball field
Riders Field is the home of the RoughRiders, where visitors can enjoy a lively game atmosphere. The night of the Jung/Young Bobblehead give-away was eventful, with some frustration over people receiving multiple bobbleheads. Despite this, the staff were friendly and helpful, especially in getting stamps for the MiLB Passport Stamp books. Unfortunately, a power outage caused a two-hour delay and led to a lack of energy in the stadium as many fans left before the game even started.
Fantastic experience—cheap, fun, and a great opportunity to watch quality baseball with a small crowd. The Rough Riders are the Texas Rangers’ double-A affiliate, so the quality of play is high, but the ticket prices are not (tickets for the grass in the outfield are only $14 a person). A great time for the whole family, and much easier to access than the Rangers stadium in Arlington. Also the stadium is beautiful and feels new, and the entire place has the vibe of a well-manicured theme park—as if Disneyland had its own baseball team. Only 30-minutes from downtown Dallas, this is a great option for those looking for unique things to do and see in the city.

I love riders field. It's such a great cozy place to watch a baseball game. I've never had a bad time here. The food is usually very good except for the time I was asked if I wanted beans on my nachos and they poured a laddelfull of baked beans on them. I've never been one to throw away a plate of nachos, and I tried to power through the sweet sauce but it really made them inedible. Luckily I've learned my lesson and just get the regular stuff now.

We have been visiting the ballpark for years and it's truly the most family friendly place to watch baseball. Not a bad seat anywhere. The playground and lawn are super fun for kids of all ages. I love the cashless payments everywhere. Plenty of food and drink options, very pricey as expected. We always have a great time.

Solid place to post up, shop, eat, or just walk around and vibe. 🛍️ Good mix of food spots, boutiques, and nighttime energy. You can pull up casual or clean it works either way. Parking can get a little packed during the evening rush, but the atmosphere makes up for it. Definitely one of Frisco’s go-to lifestyle hubs when you want to eat good, look good, and move right.

The Shops at Legacy is a beautiful and vibrant destination. It’s a very well-planned area with very good architecture. I love this place for a good hangout or for a date night. If you are a person who loves to eat or shop but does not like so much crowd, this should be your place. This is a very nice area for shopping, dining, walking, socializing, and relaxing. It's beautiful. Free parking garage. I was very impressed with interesting food places like the Onanata, Cariloma, and Francesda's. Services were excellent. The waiters were wonderful. The chef was good too. Very nice vibes.

My go to here is We Whiten!!! It's excellent and has financial assistance with your dental goals! I love the calm music, the staff is a riot and surrounding the store is a fabulous hair salon and delicious restaurants!! Parking garage is your go to. Curbside parking just is an excuse for birds to poop on nice cars. Overall, it's a hell of a scene and shopping is great too!!

The Shops at Legacy is a beautiful and vibrant destination — easily one of the nicest shopping areas around. The atmosphere is upscale and well-designed, with tons of shopping options ranging from boutique stores to well-known brands. There’s no shortage of great restaurants, coffee shops, and spots to just hang out and take it all in. It definitely gets crowded (especially on weekends), but that’s to be expected with a place this popular. Despite the crowds, it’s still a great place to spend the day shopping, grabbing a bite, or just walking around and people-watching. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a well-rounded shopping and dining experience.

That's one HUGE and AMAZING lake!!! Pay a visit during the sunset, sit alone, listen to the sound of waves, gaze at the sunset and occasionally the sky that's always filled with flying planes... Observe your soul healing, and mental peace getting straight. And of course, a wonderful place to hang out with friends, to go boating or shore swim.

This has been one of the best surprises I’ve had when in Dallas. I went there for a run but many parts were flooded so I was not able to run all the way along the lake. Even so, the views, the atmosphere and the place is beautiful. Lots of people enjoying summer, having picnics and just contemplating. LOVE!

The preserve features 3 miles of paved hiking trails, a playground, picnic pavilion, and public restrooms. For those seeking solitude, there are also 3 miles of unpaved trails that wind through the property's hidden pathways. Cycling enthusiasts can explore off-road cycling trails in the southern part of the preserve.
I visited Arbor Hills today. I used to frequent this area just to spend time in nature and enjoy my walk. I haven’t been to this area in a while until today because I moved out of the area. But today was a special day because I decided to come back and visit this beautiful nature preserve. Indeed, Arbor Hills is a nature preserve. As you’re walking this season, you will notice the beautiful grassy plains swaying in the wind. There are an abundant of trails that you can take to explore different areas of the preserve. It is a great place to casually ride your bike and is also a popular destination for photography. The nature preserve also has a well equipped playground for children to play and bathrooms for men and women and a family bathroom. There is also a picnic area that you can reserve to have gatherings. Arbor Hills is a great place to walk your dog as they provide poop bags along the main path. After finishing your walks and explorations, treat yourself to some ice cream from the ice cream truck that usually is parked near the restrooms in the afternoons, ready to happily serve customers.

This park is on a smaller scale, but diverse. There are three types of habitats, with various fauna and flora. The paths are well maintained, easily accessible by strollers, or wheelchairs. There are bike trails. We walked the cca 2-mile loop in about 40 minutes, but there are more paths for longer walks. There are occasional elevation changes. The restrooms are not the best looking, but had soap, water and toilet paper. The best feature is the ice cream truck positioned at the parking lot. The parking lot is quite large, for about 100 vehicles.

Arbor Hills Nature Preserve is one of my favorite places to relax and reconnect with nature. The trails are clean, well-marked, and surrounded by beautiful trees, open fields, and scenic views. I love how there’s something for everyone — paved paths for easy walks, dirt trails for a little adventure, and even a lookout tower with an amazing view!

I visited Arbor Hills 2 days ago. I discovered this area for walking and spending some good times in the evening. This place is good for enjoying sunset, walking, walking dogs, jogging, and cycling, and it is kids friendly. It is preserved by nature. You will pass by exotic species of vegetation, bridge, creek, playground, etc! They also have an observation tower where it is located in high elevation, and you can see beautiful sunset and view from there!! There is an abundance of trail, where you'll discover beautiful nature. All the trails will meet at one end, finally! It is a great destination for cycling, chilling out, and even photography!! They have a kids friendly playground, and they have safe and clean washrooms. You can also reserve/book a picnic spot to have a union or gatherings. This place is pet friendly as well. After finishing the long walk, sighting a best view, you can also treat yourself to some refreshing ice cream 🍨 usually parked near the main parking area or near restrooms, mostly in the afternoons. (P.s. I have spammed the photos for you guys, enjoyyyy 😁😁)

We here a couple weeks ago. My friend had his kids birthday party there. We had a private room to celebrate and have fun activities for kids and everyone. It was pretty nice just make sure you know the rules first we wasn’t aware we couldn’t separate to go to the aquarium until we were done with the birthday but it all worked out anyway. The people there were nice and helpful. When we went to the aquarium, it was pretty nice and bigger than expected. Just know there are other kids there so it can get crowded at times but in the end, it was still fun. In case you looking for it it’s next to the Lego place.

I had a wonderful time here! We celebrated my granddaughter’s 1st birthday party here. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We loved the atmosphere and aquatic attraction they have here. You don’t expect it to be as big as it is by the way it looks from the photos. We were shocked by how big it was and talk about beautiful, you can tell that they take care of there fishes and other species. I give it a 10 out of 10.

It was amazing. The only thing that I would say is I think it's a little overpriced but it blows away the one in Dallas. My daughter went to the one in Dallas when she saw these pictures she said wow where's this one! I really liked when you're walking What looks like through the water that was really awesome and my grandson loved it. I just think it should be a little bit cheaper but it's beautiful

First time to visit and would definitely do it again. The kids had so much fun. Since I do have a special needs daughter, I look out for our community. Sea Life Grapevine is wheelchair friendly. Everything is open inside for all to see. The peak through tunnels are the only issue inside, as the child has to be removed from their chair if possible to look through, but you can the fish without doing the peek bubble. Handicap bathroom is large, but only has a changing table for babies. I added the $7 tour behind the scenes. Our tour guide was amazing and what we saw was worth the price; however I wouldn't buy it again it. Tickets were less on their website compared to Groupon. We had 3 adults, 3 kids, 1yr old who was free. I ONLY paid $179 and this included behind the scenes. It was a fun-filled day with my kids.

Sea Life is an amazing place to visit! There’s a wide variety of fish and sea creatures to see, and you can tell they take really good care of them.

Loved going to this place with my family. We bought tickets the day before, and you can't take food or drink in the aquarium, but it is inside the mall, so you can go eat at the nearby food court. They also have VR section, but that is an additional thing to pay for when you buy your tickets. You do have the option to print the tickets out, or just show them on your phone.

Grapevine Mills Mall is my second favorite Mall in the DFW area. I have been there numerous times. But my favorite is still The Stonebriar Mall, I just don't live close enough to the Stonebriar, to make it there more often. Anyway I like the numerous Cologne and Perfume stores that they have there and have purchased a few different colognes in the past few months. Recently I visited the Aquarium with my sister and that was fun. So it has a lot to see, a decent food court of course lots of parking space etc. It's visited by both locals and a lot of people that you can tell have just arrived from the nearby DFW airport. So it's definitely one of the hot spots for the DFW area.
Dennis G — Google review
Favorite mall to explore with my kids. We love all the food court options and that there are so many stores for each of our interests. Hot topic, box lunch, earthbound, round 1 and the custom t-shirt kiosk are some of our favorites. Its cool there is five below and Boba tea options also. When we're feeling fancy we spend forever in bath and body works and I take a walk through Victoria secret. Legoland, the movies, sea quest, meow wolf and rainforest cafe are all super fun! Overall like I said it's our favorite mall.

Manikandan — Google review
Grapevine Mills shopping mall is a gigantic, better than average brand name discount outlet center. It offers a nearly complete set of top fashion brands, as well as a few European ones, but not Vitton, of course. Discounts vary from brand to brand, store to store, but generally can be 30% to 50% in some cases. Some brands, like Ralph Lauran, are usually only 10% except for "special sales." These are augmented with some American discount retailers like Ross's and Marshalls, along with specialty fast food take away restaurants in the large food court, and a couple of sit down ones like Chili's. We have shopped there countless times and found some very good buys over the years. It has TWO full length full store aisleways. It can be quite crowded on weekends and holidays. It is about one half miles+ long and takes about 20 minutes to walk end to end. There are good restroom and baby changing facilities throughout. There is more than substantial parking, but you may have to write your parking spot down, because the parking is equal to, or exceeds Disneyland in size with NO trolly to ferry you back and forth. Customer service is generally quite good, but varies from store to store. We do recommend it if you prefer name brand clothing. I highly recommend you review it online before you go to see what brands are there and what clothing models or retail items are being offered.

There are a lot of people at this festival and there are bands, varieties of foods and rides for children. There are also different things that you can buy as well. There's also wine tasting, jewelry that you can buy and more. The booths are scattered throughout the festival and each both offers something different.

Lisa V — Google review
Grapevine is often called the "Christmas Capital of Texas", and going off their downtown you can definitely see why. A majority of the buildings are elaborately decorated, and there is an abundance of photo opportunities if you need to create last-minute Christmas cards. There are plenty of interactive elements, including a model train exhibit in the visitor center, a live blacksmith, and snowman which come to life to sing a "Can't Stop the Feeling" parody at night. I will say a high percentage of the shops fall under the "tourist trap" category: I'm a big fan of weird socks, but once you see the same designs for the dozenth time it starts to get a bit tiring. There seemed to be an outsized focus on small businesses, so that's nice. It gets very crowded during the Christmas season. I first arrived at a Sunday around 5, and the adjacent parking garage was completely full, leading to a 20 minute wait to find a parking spot. It got ridicously slammed by 7. On a Tuesday I arrived at 11am to low crowds but it got a bit busy by 1 and started to really pick up by when I left at 3. The rate for the garage is thankfully very reasonable. If you are in the DFW area, I definitely recommend visiting. Even beyond Christmas, downtown Grapevine has a lot of interesting historical landmarks throughout as one of the oldest incorporated communities in the metroplex, and although I complained about the shopping options, there are some real gems here. Grapevine is right next to the DFW airport and within a 30 minute drive of most major cities in the area, so travel should not be a big issue.

Nestled in Grapevine, Texas, the Great Wolf Lodge Water Park is a vibrant family-friendly resort that promises an unforgettable getaway. Just a short drive from Downtown Dallas, this destination boasts an impressive indoor water park filled with thrilling slides, multiple pools, and engaging water games that will keep kids entertained for hours. Beyond the splashes and slides, families can enjoy character meet-and-greets, storytime sessions, and cozy PJ parties designed to create lasting memories.
Me and my family visit water parks multiple times a year. Each time we reserve cabana’s. Schlitterbahn, six flags, and kalahari to name a few in the state. Layne was hands down the best server I have ever had. We had a cabana for 2 days and this man treated us like family and was like clockwork anywhere in the park. Even when we weren’t in our private cabana he was refilling our drinks when they got low anywhere in the park. He was very charismatic and genuinely a great individual. Great wolf lodge we were the Langley family in cabana #3 and #4 on 25th and 26th of October 2025. Show this employee a great deal of appreciation he is exceptional. He is the reason we will be coming back and continuing to spend our money on cabana’s As for rooms: I’ve had better but that’s not why we came. They were clean but basic. The dance party for my 2 year old was great and she loved all the activities for her and all the children everyday including children’s morning yoga. If you’re old this isn’t a destination meant for you. It’s geared towards children and that’s what makes this place special. On top of employee’s like Layne who make the experience memorable.

Great Wolf Lodge Review Our recent stay at Great Wolf Lodge was a fun-filled family adventure with a few areas for improvement. Water Park & Safety: The lifeguards were absolutely amazing — incredibly attentive and quick to act. We even saw them step in multiple times to help kids who needed assistance, which made us feel very safe. The water park itself is great, but next time I’ll definitely bring water shoes — the floors can feel a little icky at times. Staff & Service: We had a couple of moments where kids got separated from their families, but the staff handled it swiftly and professionally. Overall, the employees are friendly, though they could use more help during peak times. Lines at the attractions can get long, and service at the restaurants is noticeably slow. Food prices are a bit steep if it’s not part of your package. Breakfast was definitely better than dinner, so I’d recommend going with a breakfast-inclusive deal if possible. Facilities & Amenities: The elevators are pretty slow, so if you’re able, it’s faster to take the stairs. The MagiQuest game is a big hit with kids, but parents should pack patience — and comfy shoes! There’s also a full Starbucks on site, which is a lifesaver for early mornings. Tips for Your Stay: Bring hand sanitizer (there aren’t enough stations around the resort) and water shoes for the park. Overall: Despite some slow service and long waits, Great Wolf Lodge offers a safe, family-friendly environment packed with activities. The staff’s attentiveness and the fun atmosphere make it worth the visit — just go prepared and plan ahead for the crowds.

We had a great experience. I read a lot of horrible reviews before I left and was prepared for a disappointing experience but it was the opposite. Cleanliness: the rooms, resort, main areas, and water park were all clean. I saw mutlple workers cleaning throughout the day. No concerns in this area, rarely saw trash or debris anywhere. Food: yes overpriced, convenient not to leave the resort though. We did breakfast buffet, pizza and salad for lunch and dinner buffet. We also brought snacks and sanswhich stuff. Disappointed in the meal plan only because I thought I waa saving money but turns out the breakfast buffet for the kids was only 12.99 so plus the 30 a day dining credit, I saved 0 dollars (42.99 a person a day). Mediocre food but was not expecting a fine dining experience. Skip the dinner buffet and just get a couple pizzas. Food credits work as a balance on your account, they only expire when you leave but not at midnight like other posts I read. Waterpark: go early in the am and the last 2 hours of ope ingredients 6-8 if you want to ride the slides, all other times were 30 plus minute wait. The tornado and green tube slide were our favorite. There was enough seating even on Saturday. The outside pool waa open too which was great to get some air. Activities: kids loved magiquest, halloween events and Luna story. We got the wolf pass and 2nights/3 days struggled to complete all the activities. We did it though! This place is a whole experience, its expensive. They try to upgrade you on everything (the wand, candy, etc). I knew this going in so it waa no big deal, this was one and done for us bucket list item. Probably won't be back unless we can get rooms super cheap. 2 nights, 2 wolf passes, late check out, upgraded patio, wolf den, and dining plan for 3, parking etc our bill was 1400. Pricey but worth it for a quick get away. Try it out but level set expectations. Other things to note, they dont check bags going into water park, people brought coolers etc, they have towels no need to bring them. A back pack is a must, goggles, snacks, water cups, enjoy your time!

Very upset with GWL. We booked a room a month in advance for my daughters 10th birthday. We also added an extra package (birthday package) where the room was supposed to be decorated just for them and make kids feel special. When checking in we reminded the desk clerk about the package and she said yes and to give them some extra time to make sure it was ready. So we went and had a late lunch. We came back and went to our room and absolutely nothing . So we put our swimsuits on and went to the water park for a few hours and came back and still nothing. Greatly disappointed. So its Halloween time and the app says trick or treating is about to start, so we get my daughter in her costume and go out to go trick or treating and they cancelled it. Also the outside waterpark was closed without any notice. Everything GWL was supposed to do was not done. With the price we paid and flying from California to Dallas for our vacation and then not doing what was paid for was a huge let down We have been to 2 other GWL and never had a problem. This place is much smaller and management needs better training. The food in the corn dog place was burnt and old and I forgot to mention that we planned to have dinner at the buffet however that was closed too for some reason I don't think we will be returning . We paid good money and did not receive what we paid for.

Definitely this is a great place for families. Howls

Our group of five women meets yearly to attend a conference, and this year we chose the Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine, reserving a suite months in advance so we could all stay together for collaboration and convenience. We booked directly and even confirmed the week of our arrival. Unfortunately, when we checked in, we were given a basic standard room with one bathroom for five adults. After much back and forth, we were finally provided two rooms, but it was not the suite we had carefully planned for. We were also looking forward to relaxing by the pool, only to find it closed “for the season”—despite the fact that temperatures were in the upper 80s during our stay. Our wing of the hotel was under renovation and it showed: messy hallways, water leaks, and multiple maintenance issues. One of our rooms had no hot water, a leaking faucet, and non-functioning AC, and non working appliances. The other room developed a water leak into the wall and hallway, which led to workers needing to enter our space during our stay. The hallways also had large wet areas, suggesting this was not an isolated issue. The food was mediocre at best and very overpriced. By the weekend, the property turned into a madhouse. Elevators broke down, leaving only one set available, which was overcrowded with guests and staff. More than once, we were bumped for service carts. Stairs then were closed for an accident which left us waiting for 35+ minutes for elevators. The restrooms near the waterpark were also in unacceptable condition—wet floors, toilet paper everywhere, and overflowing toilets. To be fair, there were a few bright spots. The front desk staff truly did the best they could under difficult circumstances. Our waitress at Fireside was lovely, and Joshua—the 22-year-old maintenance worker—was outstanding. He came to our rescue multiple times and was the most helpful part of our stay. Unfortunately, the negatives far outweighed the positives. This was my second visit to a Great Wolf Lodge (the first was in Denver), and both times I encountered significant issues. The concept is wonderful, but the execution and upkeep are sorely lacking. For the price and expectations, I cannot recommend this property.

The room was very nice and clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. Pretty pricey but we had a great time! The waterpark was so much fun. I recommend getting the passes for the kids, it’s worth the money for all they get to do around the resort.

Overall, a good experience. We had some not so awesome things and some awesome things. We had to switch rooms twice, had issues with the smell, once we had our second room our room phone didn’t work nor our refrigerator but they were doing what seemed to be a whole floor construction renovation, so maybe that is why it didn’t work. The Waterpark seems rundown, in need of some renovation and overall The cleanliness of the waterpark was not there. I will say the water was clear, but the walkways were filled with Band-Aids, spilled ice cream, smooshed, cupcakes, wet napkins, etc. the only time I really saw someone clean was about 7 PM when the waterpark closed at 8 PM. Now, I will say that there is some amazing things about this place. There were several employees that went out of there way to make her experience magical. My boys absolutely loved Magiquest , had fun at the bowling alley, had fun at the arcade, And enjoy some other amenities. The wolf pass/pup pass seem to be a wonderful add-on. The kids felt like they had tons of options with this pass and us as parents didn’t feel like we had to keep spending more and more money, as it was already included in the pass. The Luna bedtime story was extremely well done And all of my kids were enamored by the story. We had a ton of fun at the dance party, enjoyed interactive games at the grounds, and Had fun at the virtual trail. However, it is the employees that would make you want to come back. One employee stuck out from the rest and that was Evan. He went out of his way to make sure that we had the best guest experience. We appreciate all you did for our family! Thank you, Evan for making a howling good time.

Southfork Ranch

Event venue
Sights & Landmarks
Southfork Ranch, located just a 40-minute drive from downtown Dallas in the suburb of Parker, Texas, is a must-see for fans of the iconic TV show 'Dallas.' This picturesque ranch served as the backdrop for the Ewing family's escapades and now offers guided tours of the mansion where visitors can explore J.R.'s bedroom and see memorabilia from the show. The ranch also functions as a working ranch, offering activities like horseback riding lessons and guided trail rides.
My brother was in town for a visit. Went for the tour. What a great experience. Everyone we encountered went beyond expectations to accommodate us! The sweet girl in the gift shop offered us a wheelchair upon noticing that the walk might be too difficult for my brother. Danny the gentleman who drove the golf cart was incredible! He already dropped off for the tour but insisted on making another trip for us and the wheelchair! He was so friendly and came to pick us up too! Thank you all for making this so enjoyable!

Our first visit was pretty cool. But on my second trip with my guest on August 14, things took a turn. When we arrived, they informed us that our tour had been canceled. Then, another staff member intervened, and they said we could go ahead after all. I inquired about the golf cart, and she claimed it had just left, which was clearly untrue since we were the only two there. We ended up walking under the scorching 98°F heat to the house. The lady who guided us was friendly and charming, but after that, we found ourselves outside, navigating the area on foot. We had no information, no guide—nothing. We missed out on key exhibits like the oil display. By the time we returned to the visitor center, they informed us they were closing in 10 minutes. I apologized for being late, explaining that we had walked everywhere in the blazing sun and were exhausted. She simply replied, “No problem.” As we left, the next group zoomed by us in golf carts, which made it clear she didn’t really care—especially since we were foreigners. There were no apologies or any acknowledgment of our situation. I left feeling very disappointed. Most of the areas were either being prepped for a reception, under construction, or getting ready for hotel guests. I definitely wouldn’t recommend this place and won’t be bringing anyone back.

This is a really interesting place to review… On one hand the staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, the land is well kept. Nature and animals on the property are beautiful. On the other hand, I felt that I was touring my grandmas house listening to stories that don’t make any sense. In fairness to them, I’ve never seen the show Dallas. Also, price is a bit high for the tour especially if you get a 4pm ticket and are unable to walk the property.
Chris N — Google review
If you enjoyed the iconic 1980s television show, or the 2000s version, then you would enjoy visiting here. Reasonably priced, offers a museum with some nice pieces of memorabilia. The tour was fun and we enjoyed the history of the place. The house was filmed extensively for outdoor shots and faithful viewers will recognize all the different spots. It was fun standing by the pool and thinking about all the memorable scenes that took place there. While the interior of the house was not used for filming, it's still fun to check out. Definitely recommend a visit.
Hugo S — Google review
The tour is definitely not worth $30. No TV show or production props other than a couple of rooms in the house. It’s really about a 20-30 minute tour. Cardboard cutouts of the cast. The property is vast but not a lot to look at other than a couple of long horns, miniature ponies, 1 horse, 1 donkey. There was some renovations going on no food or drinks other than vending machines. Even after renovations are complete and the restaurant is open the tour will still not be worth anything more than about $5. Unless ownership can figure out how to make it better.
Douglas J — Google review
It was nice to see the house from the Dallas TV show, but honestly that’s all there is. The ticket costs $30 per person and feels overpriced no real ranch tour, no interactive experience, just walking through the house, looking at a few rooms for a couple of minutes, and that’s it. In hindsight, I would have skipped it underwhelming and not worth the money.
Rubi B — Google review
I brought my grandmother here today, as something special to do together before I move away. She just had her 85th birthday, and uses a walking cane after knee surgery complications. A shuttle drives visitors from the welcome center to the mansion, so we were told it would bring us back. But instead, at the end they opened the mansion doors for everyone to exit, and said we’ll have to walk back. It was very hot and we also weren’t offered any water / refreshments. Then we discovered restrooms were being renovated so we would’ve had to go back outside to different restrooms. I liked the history, but we weren’t fans of the show so we only came for a scenic tour. $30 per person was way overpriced for the overall experience. A comment posted a couple years ago said admission was HALF that price. Which seems more fair.
J B — Google review
I was unfamiliar with the TV show, Dallas, until a few days before I went to Southfork Ranch. I was about to travel to the Dallas / Fort Worth area with some Romanian friends who wanted to go to visit the ranch (the TV series Dallas apparently has a very active Romanian fan base) so I thought I better see at least a few episodes first. Going as a non-fan, my expectations were low, but I left very impressed. Entry was not cheap, but worth it. The tour guides provided great insights into the history of the ranch and the show, and point out the significance of sites that I imagine even the most ardent of fans may overlook. There is also a small museum in the welcome center/gift shop with some notable artifacts from the productions. Even on a weekday morning our tour group was sizable, so it may be advisable to buy tickets ahead of time, especially on weekends. Now, if only the TV show was streaming on any of the platforms I subscribe to…

Relaxed, contemporary multiscreen theater featuring showings of mainstream films.
Absolutely LOVE it! Especially if you've got kiddos. Love the playground before the movie starts that the kids get to play in. If you go without kids, the upstairs seats have delicious food delivered and drinks. Absolutely awesome 💯
Andrea G — Google review
This was nice for a change. The theater was clean, and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Even the bathrooms were very clean. Nice reclining chairs with a very convenient tray to hold your drink and food. Three issues, however. We could too easily hear some other movie going on next door to our movie. The parking lot does not have enough good lighting - darker than I felt comfortable with. The "special to order food" isn't that special. That food was just okay. I'd stick with regular movie food. The drink cups were very large, which was nice. There is something I like about this theater, but it needs some adjustments. Again, the staff were very nice.
LK D — Google review
Such a fun and unique experience for kids! The chairs are comfortable and have a wonderful seat heating option. The play area is clean and well maintained. My only complaint is the play area was completely dark during the movie and my kids were too scared to climb up to the top to watch the movie (scared of the dark) so they didn’t get to play until after the credits finished and the lights came back on.
Lexie G — Google review
We tried the screen play for the first time today (see pictures and video). The kids had a blast. Remember to come early (30min) to get time to play on the playground before lights are turned off and your asked to go to your seat. They want kids to wear socks, no shoes.
Eric L — Google review
The seats are super comfy, heated, and recline all the way back, which makes long movies feel like a breeze. The theater is always clean, the sound and picture quality are amazing, and the Grand Screen is perfect for big action movies. I love the Treat Yourself Tuesdays with cheaper tickets, and the food from the Marquee Bar & Grille is actually really good! Tickets are very affordable. Whether you’re going with friends or family, there’s something for everyone here. Definitely my go-to spot for movies in Wylie!
Marya T — Google review
Not a great experience. Took my daughter's to the 330pm showing and the theater was a mess. Seats were not clean and overall the chairs are in bad shape. My daughter's did not even feel comfortable sitting back in their seat. The guy at the front desk said he was the only one there and if that was the case, that is not good.
Shaji M — Google review
We had a fun time but the place definitely needs updating. The chairs are super worn. It could also use a really good deep clean!

First time attending this venue. The young lady tried to print tickets, take concession orders, and answer questions by herself, but not quite well. Did not know bar and concessions were available upstairs as well. The theater was small, the seat big and comfy. Did not get to experience the interactive seating this time, but will next time.

Hurricane Harbor Arlington stands as North Texas' largest water park, sprawling over an impressive 50 acres filled with thrilling rides and refreshing attractions. This aquatic paradise boasts a staggering one-million-gallon wave pool and features unique areas like Hook's Lagoon, which offers three lagoons, a pirate ship, and 150 interactive elements spread across twelve levels—ensuring that staying dry is nearly impossible!
Pretty fun park and good fries. The family rides on the left of the park are the best. Arrive when it opens for short lines. Floors are a little hot and I don't recommend the side salad.
MIMI B — Google review
Visited for my first time on a Friday. Got the Silver Season Pass online that morning (it was the same price as a single-day ticket with parking). WHAT I LIKED: Rolled up about 40 minutes after the park opened. There was no wait to enter the lot or the park itself. Slides were fun and wait times weren't bad (with the exception of Sea Wolf). Lazy river was relaxing, wave pool was fun, and the water temperatures weren't too cold. They honor the All Season Drink Bottle from the Six Flags park. There are lots of lockers which are super conveniently located and easy to access throughout the day. WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE Not near enough shaded chairs / loungers!!! There's lot of shaded picnic tables. The very small amount of shaded seats get snagged by the first people in the park. They are located to the left of the wave pool (chairs) and by Suntan Lagoon (lounge chairs). You can't bring your own tubes for the lazy river but can rent theirs. Not tubes allowed in the wave pool. Some of the best slides require 2 riders. There could be better signage leading to the rides, entrances to the lazy river (some spots are exit only) and restrooms. NOTE: Some slides require you to step on a scale just before placing your tube to be launched.

The park is great for kids of all ages with lots of water areas for playing and swimming. They're are lots of waterslides to choose from, even a mini version of two fun ones for the littles! The only complaint we had was the all day dining tickets had all kinds of issues! It was frustrating, but we still had fun at the park.
Michele M — Google review
Had a blast! Kids loved it since we got there early to get on some of the best slides without a long wait. Also it helps with some shaded seating areas. Went on almost all the slides, the kids splash pad area is really fun even for the bigger kids. Food and drinks are a bit pricey as you would expect but the quality is above average, no complaints. Can't wait to go back!

We came to Hurricane Harbor on a Wednesday and the lines were short for most slides and there was plenty of parking. The staff members we met were respectful and professional. Hurricane Harbor is a fun place but shade is a premium. We rented a locker, the bathrooms are large and clean. With benches for changing.
James K — Google review
I have been having fun at this water park for 30 years! We love cooling off with so much to do in one place. The slides are awesome with lots of levels of wild for all ages. Loads of food, treats, shade, lounge chairs, pools, and gear. A must go for summertime joy!
Katy L — Google review
Had a great time here! Ample parking but had to walk a bit from car to park entrance. It would help if there were location identifiers in the parking lot to help remember where cars are parked. Numbered rows or even an animal or shape for zones. Liked all the places for shoes at bottom of rides but they weren't at all the rides.

Six flag water park, hurricane Harbor. It's the biggest water park in Dallas fort Worth, located in Arlington. It's just on the other side of Six Flags. It has a wave pool, lazy river, a new 2025 kids area, o lot of baby slides to every extreme ones. Lines are long as normal six flag, be patient. The pop corn bucket and soda bottle from six flags can be used here. They also have paid lockers. It's a lot of sun, make sure to bring sunscreen.

Theme park
Water & Amusement Parks
Six Flags Over Texas is a 200-acre amusement park in Arlington, offering over 50 rides and live entertainment. It has been a popular destination for tourists and locals for more than 50 years. The park features a variety of attractions suitable for all ages, from thrilling roller coasters like the Galactic Attack virtual reality coaster to family-friendly rides such as the Runaway Mine Train and El Sombrero. There's also Bugs Bunny Boomtown, designed for young thrill-seekers.
Great Day Out – Highly Recommended! We had a fantastic day at the park! It’s easy to reach and there are plenty of parking spaces, which made our arrival really smooth. When we visited, it wasn’t very crowded, so we didn’t have to wait long for any of the rides – a big plus! The attractions themselves are excellent – everything looked well-maintained and fairly new. There’s something for every age group, from little kids to thrill-seekers looking for a serious adrenaline rush. The park really offers a great mix of fun for everyone. We absolutely loved our time there and would definitely recommend it. The overall experience, especially considering the price, is excellent value for money.

This is a very cool park, I was so excited to visit since it's the original six flags park. a few rides were closed like the train and observation tower, but the rest of the park was open and running well. They have a nice assortment of coasters and other rides, and although I had a little trouble finding my way around the park, I did manage to ride everything that I planned to. The park was clean, I felt safe and the employees were great during my visit. I enjoyed it very much.
Sarah P — Google review
We had a great time at Six Flags! The rides were awesome, and the overall atmosphere was full of energy and fun. Definitely a place where thrill-seekers can have a blast. That said, a few things could have been better planned for. Some of the more popular rides had wait times up to an hour, which slowed down our day a bit — wish we’d known that ahead of time so we could have prioritized better. Also, the food prices inside the park were quite expensive, which caught us off guard. We ended up stepping out for about an hour to grab lunch elsewhere, which worked out okay but took time away from the park. Lastly, it would be really helpful if there were more public water fountains especially on a hot day. Staying hydrated shouldn't be so difficult! Overall, we still had a wonderful day full of memories, just recommended to come prepared!

We had a great time! Lines to get in were quick but the ride lines were all about an hour or longer. We got the membership though so we came the next day for the last night of fright fest. I love the membership option! I'm glad I get to experience the park with my kids like I did with my dad. I do miss the old show at the Blackburn Theater. I always wanted to sing and dance so watching the performers was always my favorite. This year's show was called Toxicity I think. It was more acrobatic but not what I hoped for. Amazing skills none the less. The trampoline skeletons were my favorite lol Can't wait for Holiday in the Park.

I took my boys here for a day on our way back home to Phoenix from Arkansas. I hadn’t been to six Flags since 1996, so my expectations were low based on what I hear people say about the Six Flags brand. Unfortunately, those people are usually comparing six flags to Disneyland. It’s just not a fair comparison. Six Flags Over Texas is a great one day theme park when you factor in the price. We paid $150 for three tickets plus my two year old, which is a third of the cost of Disneyland. The unlimited drink cup is an absolute blessing that every theme park needs to adopt. I was extremely happy with the amount of family/kid friendly rides at the park. That was a big concern for me with smaller children. We spent about six hours in the park on a Monday and rode probably twenty rides total. Early in the week is Devin the way to go. I really wish Six Flags would open a park I. The Phoenix Metro area. We would be frequent customers for sure (Hurricane Harbor doesn’t count).

I had an amazing experience visiting AT&T Stadium for the Dallas Cowboys VIP tour. Our guide, Todd, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable, engaging, and made the tour truly enjoyable. It was incredible getting behind-the-scenes access and seeing the different parts of the stadium up close. From the locker rooms to the field and all the unique details in between, the tour gave me a whole new appreciation for the stadium. Highly recommend this tour if you want to really experience the home of the Cowboys!

We had a really fun time at the game. We had club member seats and did a pretty game Stadium tour which was really interesting. The staff was nice and professional. However a lot of people can't give you directions. They want you to use the map on the app, which is pretty sad. The brisket macaroni and cheese was so good! Highly recommend that. The club member area was really nice, quite, and not very crowded so that was pleasant. I was in a wheelchair, we were supposed to get a handicap chair, and the rep we worked with to get the tickets/tour at the stadium got 4 seats together in a non wheelchair available row. But the attendant seating us was really great and showed us how we can exchange our tickets for a wheelchair seat. Luckily they ended up being next to each other, just separated by the row of stairs so we were all still together. The elevators get really crowded when leaving so if you have a chance get on it no matter which direction it's going. It will eventually go your direction but it's better to get on. Directions around were clear, and people were nice. Overall a pretty fun experience.

I attended a Dallas Cowboys Monday Night Football game in early November, and although the Cowboys didn’t win, the entire experience was absolutely unforgettable. From start to finish, AT&T Stadium lived up to its reputation as one of the most impressive sports venues in the country. I arrived early to soak in the pregame atmosphere at the Miller Lite House, located right outside the stadium gates. The setup was incredible — an open area with a full-size replica Cowboys field, surrounded by bars, food vendors, and fans everywhere. There were plenty of options for drinks, whether you wanted a cold beer, a mixed drink, or something nonalcoholic. Food choices were plentiful and looked great. The Cowboys mascot was out on the field taking photos and interacting with fans, and the live band performing filled the space with music that gave the area the energy of a concert. The crowd was lively, excited, and full of team spirit. The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders even performed a pre-game show that had everyone cheering before kickoff. The whole scene was electric and made the buildup to the game just as fun as the game itself. Once I headed inside, I was lucky enough to have club-level seats, which provided an upscale and comfortable experience. The club area had a sleek, high-end look with stylish decor and an open layout. There were several bars and food stations, including a BBQ spot that felt more like a restaurant than a concession stand. You could actually watch the chefs preparing your food right in front of you, which was a nice touch. The seats themselves were padded, spacious, and offered a great view of the field. But it’s almost impossible not to be mesmerized by the massive HD video board hanging above the field — it’s truly something you have to see in person to appreciate. The atmosphere inside the stadium was beyond anything I’ve experienced at a sporting event. Every detail, from the lighting to the sound system, made the game feel larger than life. The fans were passionate and loud but also welcoming to visiting supporters. As a lifelong Cowboys fan from out of state attending my first game at AT&T Stadium, it was an emotional experience seeing the team take the field in person. One of the most memorable parts of the night was the patriotic display throughout the event. Before kickoff, a massive American flag covered the entire field during the national anthem, followed by President George W. Bush conducting the coin toss. During halftime, Medal of Honor recipients were honored, and country music legend Lee Greenwood performed I’m Proud to Be an American live. The level of pride and respect shown for our country was powerful and gave me chills. Even though the final score wasn’t in our favor, the night was everything I hoped it would be and more. AT&T Stadium isn’t just a football venue — it’s an experience that combines entertainment, tradition, and pride in a way few places can. Whether you’re a lifelong Cowboys fan or just a football lover, this is a must-visit stadium that delivers an unforgettable game-day atmosphere.

Im not a cowboys fan but got free club tickets from a friend. The stadium is very nice and modern. The seats were comfortable. I expected food and drinks to be more than expensive but they were reasonable for ball park pricing. I enjoyed the salute to service and seeing the American Flag that covers the entire field. Overall a great experience.

Came in from out of town. Highly recommend the tour before a big game so you can move around the stadium without the crowds. Learned so much about the facilities. Glad I did that. During game day make sure to check your ticket stub to see what entrance to enter from. The only level that circles all the way around is level 400. If your below that you won't be able to circle to the other side of the stadium once inside due to the private suites and vip sections. During game day get their early and enjoy the Miller Life outdoor party.

Love love love! It's been a dream of mine to see cowboys play in their own field and I made it! We also went to the rally day day before the game and took the tour. So so nice. Lots of information. Lots to see behind the scenes. Our tour guide was ples and Tameka (I think that's her name). Wonderful ladies. Very informative and helpful. I was in a scooter and they made it easy to accommodate me needs. Only issue is there was no food to purchase. Only liquor and maybe water. Upon talking to someone they think it was due to the game being Monday night football. So just be aware that could be a possibility. They did say they usually have food for sale.
Venancia M — Google review
Love going to cowboys games and concerts here! Facility is really nice and clean, we were season pass holders and the private section for our seats was nothing short of incredible. Food is priced about as high as you would expect from concessions, but there is a huge variety. If you are considering purchasing for an event it’s definitely worth the expense. Highly recommend purchasing parking in advance.

Cool that high schools can use this once great stadium. Wish it was still in good condition, it’s obviously not being taken care of at the same level.

We attended a high school playoff game here. It was a great experience. The Budewiser banner and illuminated sign were a little concerning, given UIL rules regarding allowing alcohol to be advertizrd to minors. I'm sure it isn't intentional, but with the number of high school games played here, this signage really should be taken down and or covered or simply turned off.

Botanical garden
Nature & Parks
Nestled along the picturesque shores of White Rock Lake, The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden is a stunning 66-acre retreat that offers visitors a vibrant escape from the urban hustle. This botanical paradise features an array of colorful gardens, expansive lawns, and lush groves filled with pecan trees, magnolias, cherry blossoms, and azaleas. It's truly a feast for the senses!
The Dallas Arboretum & Botanical Garden is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places I’ve ever visited. Spread across 66 acres along White Rock Lake, it’s full of lush greenery, vibrant flowers, shaded walkways, and relaxing water features. Every corner feels like a photo moment, from buzzing bees and colorful blooms to quiet, tree-lined paths and sculptures tucked among the plants. It’s perfect for families, couples, or anyone who just wants a calm day outdoors. The Jonsson Color Garden and Red Maple Rill are stunning highlights, and even with some areas under construction, the gardens still look incredible. Definitely wear comfy shoes, bring water, and go early for parking. The gift shop is adorable, full of garden-themed décor and souvenirs. The Arboretum also hosts amazing seasonal events like Dallas Blooms in spring and the Pumpkin Village in fall, such we attended today. It’s worth every penny of the ticket price, a must visit spot in Dallas for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone who needs a peaceful escape. 🌸

I love it here! I came for the autumn festival. It’s a beautiful walk in nature. Would definitely come back for their Christmas event! I would recommend walking shoes, and plan to stay for a few hours. There’s a few cafes you can dine at as well. We saw a lot of people with picnic blankets and their own food or crafts, which would also be a great idea when visiting.

The Dallas Arboretum was absolutely beautiful and very well taken care of! There’s plenty of space for large groups to walk the trails comfortably. During my visit, there were two weddings happening, and both setups were stunning. The picnic area was peaceful and relaxing the view of the water made it even better. I also loved that they include areas for kids to play and learn, making it a great spot for families too. An employee mentioned that next week the Arboretum will be Christmas themed, which sounds amazing! Every staff member we came across was friendly, checked in with us, and made sure we were having a good time. I absolutely loved my experience here and definitely recommend visiting!

Beautifully up kept and always full of such vibrant colors. We visited for the Fall exhibit and absolutely loved every minute. During our visit we found our way to the kids exploration park and had so much fun. this place is huge! We got lost in activities and exploration ourselves, definitely a great way to spend time with family and friends. We love all the holiday activities at the Arboretum.

Took the family a few times now. Fall is beautiful with cooler temps and changing leaves. Their “12 days of Christmas” event held during the holidays is a must see. At night with all the decorations is a neat experience. Day visits we’ve seen bald eagles, falcons and all sorts of wildlife out there including coyotes early in the morning streaking through the empty open grass area!

I recently visited the Dallas Arboretum during the Halloween season, and it was absolutely enchanting! The garden was transformed into a festive wonderland, with stunning fall displays and the most creative use of pumpkins I’ve ever seen. The Pumpkin Mexico Village was a highlight—thousands of pumpkins, gourds, and squash arranged into whimsical scenes, cottages, and artistic structures. It was not only a visual treat but also a perfect photo opportunity at every turn. The attention to detail was impressive, from the themed scarecrows to the fall foliage complementing the displays beautifully. The atmosphere was family-friendly, vibrant, and full of autumn charm. Whether you're visiting with kids, friends, or just looking for a peaceful solo stroll, the Arboretum during Halloween is a must-see. Highly recommend making this an annual tradition—it’s the perfect way to celebrate the season and experience the beauty of nature with a festive twist. 🍁✨

If a beautiful stroll had a home address, it would be the Dallas Arboretum & Botanical Gardens at White Rock Lake. Whether you’re walking hand-in-hand with someone special or making memories with the whole family, the Arboretum sets the perfect mood for any Season. Breathtaking for Events, Wedding Photos, etc.... The skyline peeks through in the distance, the air feels festive, and joy is absolutely everywhere. With their 12 Days of Christmas currently on display, the Gardens are pure holiday enchantment. A must-see tradition for Dallas 💫

Klyde Warren Park is a vibrant urban park located in the heart of Downtown Dallas. It offers a variety of activities and events, including food trucks during lunchtime, arts and music performances, fitness classes, and children's events. The park was created as a central gathering space for the city and features a spacious lawn surrounded by a tree-lined pedestrian promenade.
It was an amazing experience at this park. It offers a variety of fun activities, especially for family and kids. A big water fountain and sprinklers for kids to play is a prime attraction. It has a lot of play spots, ground to relax, food trucks etc. A very good spot for picnic, time to spend with family or to stay relaxed. I drive nearly 20 miles to go the park, and play with my kid. Very near to US75 and just a small detour takes u to the park, making commute very easy.

It was a neat little walkway to the water/light show. They play music while the water and lights are going. Great place to go relax from all the city life. Its more peaceful than I thought it would be being in the middle of downtown. Kids were running around in the water and having a great time! Wonderful place. There were a few food trucks there as well.

The park is beautiful! There is a water area for children that has games a big lawn and also the bathroom is very clean. While across the street they have a water area for dogs to enjoy as well. The view is beautiful and a nice place to relax and enjoy the view. I would definitely check this place out with the lights. They also have events there. Just don’t drive scooters on that block they’re not allowed in the park, so if you use them you have to park across the street.

A very nice gateway park for a family with kids especially. Many activities every weekend, food trucks, live music or performances. It has a good size kids playground with water fountains.

Some nice restaurants in the premises for nice food and refreshments. Always a fun time here!!

Klyde Warren Park in Uptown, Dallas, is always clean and pristine on weekends. You can find almost every type of food truck, kids' play areas, beautiful dancing fountains with music, tables, games, and lush green grass. The park also offers some of the best views of the skyscrapers in Dallas, adjacent to downtown and Uptown. It's a great place to start your morning by walking around Uptown and downtown. Numerous events are held here, making it a vibrant part of upscale Uptown.

Large-scale state-of-the-art interactive & multimedia exhibits & educational programs for all ages.
I had a great time there at the Museum of Nature and there are 5 floors worth of knowledge. There's a floor that focuses on space, another one of geology and another one biodiversity. This is a great place to visit solo or with a group. It is also family friendly. Parking is across the street ans them one would walk to it from there. If you enjoy learning and science, Perot Museum of Nature is the place to visit!

Me and my boyfriend love to come here for a fun date and it was pretty fun. We went on a Thursday so we thought it would be less busy but there were a lot of field trips so it was quite busy. A lot of the interactions didn't work or were broken down for the moment. I understand that there were a lot of visitors and kids that day but at the same time should have been a bit more prepared. It's still a fun activity at the end of the day and the service is always wonderful.

This museum was fun. I really liked the Bug exhibit. It is worth the extra $10. We also watched the 3-D movie. We were pleasantly surprised to find out that entry to the museum is free for military and veterans. There are fun interactive activities that you can do. Good for both adults and children.

Great museum for the family both for those local or visiting! The process of reserving tickets online is a breeze. Everyone in my family has their favorite exhibit and although it has been a little crowded each time we've gone, it's generally possible to view or do the things we want to. Staff is always pleasant, informative and helpful during our time there. Parking is straightforward and we appreciate the discounted rate as museum members. This past visit, we took the opportunity to view the newly remodeled children's area downstairs. It was nice and pretty and all...but I would be lying if I didn't say that I was just ever-so-slightly disappointed: The use of space for is great (particularly the outdoor area) but where has all the pretend play gone? There is not a trace of it left. Also gone is any local flair that was once there. This could be a children's museum area literally anywhere in the world. The area overall seems like they wanted a "sensory" sort of vibe but even in that way, it comes up short. That all being said, the outdoor portion (with it's pretty generous shade, climbing wall, really cool water table/feature) and the LEGO table (with the camera/AI photo generator) were big hits with my kids.

This is a really awesome Museum for any age! We were going mainly for my 3 nephews ages 3-5 and honestly the only thing they really enjoyed were the lower level kids Museum where they could play-they weren't much interested in anything else! There is lots of exhibits and lots to read which kids that age could care less about! But honestly if you're wanting to just entertain your kids you can go to a park for free! Now as teens and adults I thought it was really cool but we had to hurry through the entire thing bc the kids (3-6yrs) old would get bored very easily but what I saw and read was very interesting and informational! The pics below are of the entire kids part! Just so you know! Even with young kids expect to spend 1.5-3 hours here easily

It's one of the most enjoyable places I've been to with my 14 month baby. We spend a quality bonding time in the children's area until he was done playing, then we visited the other sections in the museum. The science and natural exhibits are amazing, educational, and very enjoyable.

Fantastic! I can’t believe I’ve never visited this museum. I went to Thursdays on tap, adult night! So many interactive moments, and it really brought out my inner child. Also food trucks outside were the icing on the cake. Mambo Taxi from Mi Cocina and Lobster rolls and tacos from Maines Lobster? I believe that was the name. Do yourself a favor and go visit!

The Dallas Museum of Art, located in the Arts District, is a cultural gem with an extensive collection spanning ancient times to the present day. Currently, it features 'Minds Eye,' an exhibition showcasing over 100 works on paper by renowned artists like Degas and Van Gogh.
A must visit place for anyone who appreciates art, and those even slightly interested. It's free, and has an amazing collection that ranges from classical to modern from all across the world. There is even a statue garden, as well as limited time exhibits. It's almost too much to see in one day, and is definitely worth multiple visits.

Seems like a really cool place, unfortunately we got there only one hour before closing. I would suggest planning at least 2 hours for your visit. It’s free, that’s really nice! Only thing is that when I checked in the lady at the desk did not mention anything about my purse/water bottle/umbrella but later a guard asked to leave because we hadn’t checked them and acted very rudely as if we had deliberately broken rules, it was a bummer since this required us to go all the way back to the entrance to check them and by the time the museum was 15-10 minutes to closing.

The Dallas World Aquarium, located in the Historic West End District, is a captivating aquatic wonderland housed in a refurbished warehouse. It features diverse marine life from around the globe, including stingrays, piranhas, electric eels, poison dart frogs, and Orinoco crocodiles. Visitors can stroll through a 20,000-gallon exhibit with a glass tunnel where sharks swim overhead.
Unique and full of surprises. It is not the biggest aquarium you will ever see. But what you will see is amazing. They pack more awesomeness into every square foot. It feels immersive but safe. You have the different climates and geographic homes for the critters that are so well thought up and they flow from habitat to habitat well. The penguins are worth the price of admission alone. I felt like I saw it all, but if I go back I will see something new in every enclosure.
Nicholas L — Google review
The aquarium is wonderful. Interesting varieties of amazing fish, corals, birds. The shark tank is a fun place for kids and adults seeing shark swim over your head and all around you is mesmerizing and there’s a huge sword fish too. The only thing is the aquarium needs some tender loving care the bathrooms are old and not clean. The whole place needs a face lift, it’s a little dirty and stinky around the edges. The walkway outside between the front entrance and exit is pretty but when you walk through it there’s an overwhelming smell of urine. The whole outside can use a good power wash. I went several years ago when it looked newer and smelled better. The management needs to do a better job with the place. But it’s still worth visiting there are also gorgeous tropical plants.

Really good for all ages, I went with my husband and my adult son, we wanted to do something laid back relaxing, The aquarium was great! We did a lot of running around and outdoor activities, we went on a Sunday afternoon so the town was pretty quiet and so was the aquarium. They had monkeys, different types of birds and sea creatures. Not a huge aquarium but worth going Takes about 1.5hr to 2hrs to do the whole aquarium. And plenty of parking across from the aquarium.
Jo “ — Google review
This aquarium has some gorgeous fish, an amazing octopus, and very unique birds, but this feels more like they are on display rather than an educational and sustainable environment where the animals live. Education is an afterthought entirely. It was also incredibly inaccessible for wheelchair users and anyone with disabilities. Walkways are steep over the alligator pit, so if you’re in a wheelchair you face the very real danger of rolling through the wooden rails down into the pit. None of the animals/fish/birds were labeled, and we did see a few dying/ill fish in the tanks. Some tanks/wall were leaking, and it is an old building, but that seemed weird to me that you might touch a wall that’s wet from a leaking tank. The ocelot was a really cool animal to see, but it had a very small enclosure for being a big cat. They also had a few open tanks that visitors were reaching their hands into, such as the puffer fish tank and rays tank, which seemed neglectful of the fish. The staff were friendly though and seemed to be doing their best, but I really question the management of this aquarium and the possible exploitation of the creatures.

First of all, as others have said this is less of a fish aquarium and more of an assortment of land + sea. I think this works out in its favor though - traditional aquariums can be a bit repetitive after a while, but the combination of aquarium plus rainforest mini zoo keeps things fun and engaging, particular for kids. My 3 year old wasn't interested in the fish at all, but he could have watched the flamingos all day. My older son loved all the bats. And I loved the manatee! I think the variety makes it easier for families with different interests to enjoy. We went as soon as they opened on a Monday and we were practically the only people there - it was great! I think we saw 2 other people the entire time we were there, and we spent several hours there. The map is borderline useless, but it turns out that's intentional - I was told by one of the employees that it's designed that way so that you don't skip by a bunch of animals looking for a specific one from the map. Honestly that makes sense! The layout was easy and enjoyable, an easy walk up and down the different levels, we visited each level twice because there was so much to see, we thought we saw it all and then spoke with an employee who said "oh, did you see the octopus?" No, actually, we hadn't! One of the employees there, Brian, was so great! He spent the time to talk with my kids about the animals they saw and gave them different facts about them. You could tell he had a genuine care and enthusiasm for all of the animals. Highly recommend going with the realistic expectation that you'll see many more birds than you do fish, and at least from our experience first thing in the morning was a great time to go.

Holy packed. I get we went on a Sunday midday but they can definitely slow down how quickly they're letting people in. You have 0 leg room, there are countless people stopping to take selfies with birds, and very minimum workers on the floor as you go through. Half the information cards we couldn't look at because of the swarm of people. The price we paid was way more than the experience we got as at least at other aquariums you can look at stuff without smelling the nasle cavity of a stranger. It hit the point we were like we just want to leave but we paid $40 per person (after tax.) Outside of that we had fun but other museums, and events we went to we were at least breath during as they had staggered entry.

I love aquariums and this one didn’t disappoint. While it didn’t have as many large ocean style tanks as many of the other aquariums I’ve been to, it was still a great experience. Like a little oasis or getaway that makes you feel like you’re outside of the city without having to leave. There are lots of restrooms spread throughout so you’re never too far from one. There are also lots of restaurants and even resting areas for people with children or babies that may need a place to take a break. You can prepay for parking and you’ll be able to stay in the lot until 5pm. There is not time limit to the time you can spend in the aquarium as well. Overall great experience, would go again.

This is the best aquarium that I have been to. There were so many interesting birds, fish, mammals, and reptiles to see. The aquarium was easy to get through to see all the exhibits.

History museum
The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza is a poignant tribute to the life and legacy of President John F. Kennedy, situated in the very location where his tragic assassination unfolded on November 22, 1963. Nestled within the Dallas County Administration Building, this museum offers an immersive experience that delves into JFK's presidency and the events surrounding his untimely death.
We didn’t get to go inside because of prior commitment but we were met by a gentleman by the name of Arthur who gave us an impromptu tour the site of the Kennedy assassination and some historical facts. He was everything you would expect out of a tour guide. If you walk along the grassy knoll I’m sure you can find him there eager to share a part of history with you.

This was very interesting museum, it covered JFK before he was president, up until the assassination. It was eerie seeing the view to the street from the 6th floor. 7th floor with the children's view was well done as well. Very reflective.
Elizabeth S — Google review
Visiting the Sixth Floor Museum is an emotionally charged and captivating experience. Situated in the former Texas School Book Depository, it provides an in-depth exploration of President John F. Kennedy’s life, legacy, and the tragic assassination that forever altered history. The thoughtfully curated exhibits, featuring a blend of photographs, films, and artifacts, bring history to life, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the events that unfolded. Standing near the corner window where the fateful events transpired evokes a sense of chills and surrealism. It’s impossible not to feel the weight of the view that changed the course of history. The informative audio guide enhances the experience by providing context and shedding light on the significance of that day and its profound impact on the world. The museum’s well-organized layout, respectful approach, and deep educational value make it a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and curious individuals alike. Whether you’re a seasoned history buff or simply intrigued by one of America’s most defining moments, a visit to the Sixth Floor Museum in Dallas is an unforgettable experience.

Just a facinating place to visit. I felt like the place was frozen in time of November, 1963. Loved all the displays and must say that we spent the better part of 3 hours taking it all in. The corner of the 6th floor, where Oswald fired his shots, is on display behind glass so that it can be preserved. It's best to buy tickets and make a reservation in advance.
Robert K — Google review
We visited The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza during a long layover, arriving about an hour before closing. The museum is small but packed with a lot of information about JFK’s life and assassination. There’s a lot of reading involved, though they do include some video portions, which help break things up. It was very busy the day we went, so it was hard to see all the exhibit pieces clearly. The areas on the street marking the shots are also a bit hard to spot. There’s also some loitering outside near the memorial, which felt a little off-putting. Overall, it’s a good museum with important historical content, but I expected a bit more from the experience.
Taylor M — Google review
I was really excited to visit this museum due to my fascination with the Kennedy era. The museum has a lot of information about JFK’s campaign and time in office. There is a section of boxes in the spot where the fatal shot was fired from, with a replica of the gun sitting on the other side. My favorite section of the museum was the one dedicated to shutting down conspiracy theorists. Of course, when I left the museum I asked my fellow patrons if they thought Oswald acted alone. None of them said they did. It seems like people are still hungry for the truth many years later! There is an exhibit of children’s drawings on the top floor and the gift shop has some nice souvenirs if you are into JFK nostalgia. Overall though, I found this museum to be a bit overpriced for what it is, hence the four star rating. If you wanna simply see the spot where Kennedy got shot, just drive down the route for free.

Interesting museum. I would say if you are interested at all in the assassination / politics its very worth going. I love their gift shop too. The nostalgic items were great. The image is from the 7th floor, the same angle the shot was allegedly fired from, just one floor above. (No politics, just a statement. :))

Dealey Plaza is a significant city park and National Historic Landmark in Dallas, Texas. It gained notoriety as the site of President John F. Kennedy's assassination in 1963. The 'grassy knoll' outside the area is where the museum is located, marking the exact spot on the roadway where JFK was shot. The former Texas School Book Depository at Dealey Plaza now houses the Sixth Floor Museum, dedicated to preserving the memory of this tragic event.
very cool to see in real life, the area felt safe enough to walk around for bit and really understand what happened there. it wasn’t super crowded. we visited the plaza after the sixth floor museum and had a great experience.

This plaza is the location of the JFK assassination in 1963 and a landmark location with quite a few things related to the assassination. Here you will find the grassy knoll, triple underpass, Sixth Floor Museum (Texas School Book Repository) and not far from the JFK Memorial Plaza. This is also the location of a monument to George B. Dealey while the Old Red Museum is just across the street as well.

Visited Dealey Plaza in Dallas today — the spot where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963. Standing here gives you chills. It’s one of those places where you can feel how much history changed in a single moment. JFK was more than just a president; he believed in progress, equality, and pushing the nation forward. From the space race to his call for public service, his vision still matters today. I wanted my daughter to see this and understand why moments like this are important — to know that history isn’t just what we read about, it’s what shaped the world we live in.

Observation deck
Sights & Landmarks
Reunion Tower is a renowned observation deck that offers stunning 360-degree city views, light shows, and a gift shop. It's a popular choice for couples seeking unique experiences in Dallas. While dining options are currently unavailable due to renovations, visitors can still enjoy day-and-night viewing with adult tickets priced at $24 each. Additionally, there's an exclusive 'Love is in the air package' that includes VIP elevator service, complimentary sparkling wine, and commemorative Reunion Tower flute glasses.
The view of Dallas from the top is absolutely stunning! My wife and I had a day out and decided to visit Reunion Tower. We arrived around 6:30 PM, just in time to enjoy a lively Mexican dance performance at the top, such a fun surprise! We stayed to watch the sunset, which made the whole experience even more magical. I highly recommend buying your tickets in advance, you will saves money and makes entry quick. Upon arrival, you can even have your picture taken for free, which is a nice touch. The elevator ride to the top is smooth and takes you straight up in no time. Parking, we parked close by from the tower paid $10 for 4 hours.

Reunion Tower was a pretty cool experience. Offers 360 degree views and a great view of the city. While not the highest observation deck we’ve been to it was still a fun experience. One unique thing about this observation deck is that it gives you history on the assassination of JFK along with a perfect view of the building where the shooter was. Overall not the most exciting observation deck if you’ve been to other cities like New York or Chicago and not something I’d come specifically for but if you happen to be in town and have some free time it’s worth checking out.

Reunion Tower is such a unique Dallas experience! Parking is pretty easy with garages and lots nearby, and if you want extra convenience, you can valet through the hotel it’s attached to. Once you head up to the 50th floor, the views are incredible. The observation deck gives you a full 360° walk-around view of the city, and it’s designed so you can enjoy both the indoor space and the outdoor terrace. There are tons of opportunities to take photos. whether you want skyline shots, sunset views, or just fun pictures with family and friends. The space is well-kept, staff are helpful, and the whole vibe feels memorable. Overall, it’s definitely worth a visit for the panoramic views and photo opportunities!

This is a must visit landmark in Dallas offers an 360 degree view from its lollipop style observation deck. The city skyline is a sight to behold, especially breathtaking during sunset or at night when the lights illuminate the city. The interactive displays provide an engaging and educational experience, while the friendly staff enhances the overall visit. A special mention goes to Willie, the elevator operator, whose humor, knowledge, and genuine enthusiasm make the experience truly memorable. I sincerely hope his boss recognizes his contributions and considers giving him a raise which he truly deserves it. Whether you’re a local showcasing the city to friends or a visitor exploring Dallas for the first time, Reunion Tower offers an unforgettable experience with its stunning views and positive atmosphere.

Parking is horrendous. No good parking directions. The construction going on around the tower and the hotel is confusing making it hard to get into. Once inside the hotel you are in the convention hall and very little clear signage directing you to the tower entrance. $19 dollars per person to go up an elevator and walk around for just a few minutes is not very economical. The only reason I agreed is because it was what my son wanted to do for his Birthday. The views were ok, but not really what I was hoping for. The one redeeming factor (the only reason I am willing give 3 stars instead of 1) is the staff in the tower was very warm, friendly and inviting. Was able to strike up a good conversation with a couple of them and they were amazing. The staff at the Hyatt was also great and directed me a much easier way back to our parking spot using a tunnel. It was a nice walk back.

The view from this high altitude mesmerizes us as we enter the top of the tower. We spend quality time there. Specifically at the sunset time :) One thing recommended: They will ask you to take photos while entering the elevator. Take as many as possible because they will email you all, but you must purchase at least one. That will cost 25-30.

It was fun to see such a great 360 view of Dallas from so high up. Loved that the telescopes were free, well included in price, as was a souvenir photo. We did not go to the restaurant.

I was here last week and had a great experience. It's got the best view of Dallas. The bartender was amazing! He made me a special cocktail that was simply fantastic. The food was delicious too. I will surely be back.

This place is awesome especially during sunrise and sunset. Fishing is also great, large mouth bass, catfish and sand bass to name a few. If you happened to look for a picturesque sunrise or sunrise, definitely give this place a visit. The video I took, I called it the Namibia of Dallas 😊

Lake is good. Boat launch area was good. The beach was good. The CHECKING in took way too long. Not enough parking place in the RV parking site. Charging extra for each guest was too much. Charging for boat extra is ABSURD. Also, you should charge by the car NOT per person. Grass not mowed in the RV parking area.

This park is awesome for camping we went here on my son's birthday and the campgrounds are very nice and clean and well-maintained and they have really good hiking trails and they have a lake that you can get in it is absolutely beautiful! This place is also good for other trips such as Boy Scout trips which we noticed when we were there a lot of people were taking family trips and group activities such as youth groups and family reunions. Still with all the people the noise level wasn't bad.
