AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas is an absolute masterpiece — home to the Dallas Cowboys and host to some of the biggest concerts, sports events, and shows in the world. The architecture is stunning, the atmosphere electric, and the massive retractable roof makes every event unforgettable. From the moment you walk in, everything feels grand — the giant video screens, comfortable seating, and great sound quality. The staff are professional, and the stadium is well maintained with plenty of food and drink options. Parking is well organized, and it’s conveniently located near restaurants, shops, and major stores like Walmart on Randol Mill Road. Whether you’re here for a game, concert, or tour — AT&T Stadium is a must-visit landmark in Texas! 🏈🎶
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.
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.

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.
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'm never disappointed at Six Flags! JBs Smokehouse is always amazing! The decor was nicely done for Fright Fest as well. They handing out candy to the little ghouls trick or treating. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. We heaven saw Bugs Bunny, Tweetie, Sylvester and Daffy Duck! We had a fantastic time! Definitely going back again!
Six Flags is so fun. Love the place and the rides! Makes a grown man feel like a kid again. The decorations are awesome for Halloween!
We had a great time here for fright fest! The actors took their roles very serious but still took the time out to do photos and videos with everyone. The family really enjoyed the stage shows as well as the rides and haunted houses. It was our first fright fest and we'll definitely be back!

We had a great time at the Classic Christmas at Choctaw stadium. The weather was perfect, it was not too crowded, we shopped at the market, took lots of photos and my husband and granddaughter loved the giant snow slide. 🤗🎀🎄🦌
First time here was amazing. Me and my son had a great time. The UFL game was a awesome experience. The Arlington Renegades had a great game even though they lost. I can't wait to come back for more fun and a great time.
They have chair and bleachers. ❤️❤️❤️ which is very important if you’re older person and want to watch all of the games
I took my son to a UFL Football game for part of his birthday present. Before the game started we walked through Texas Live. The stadium is easy to get to, however, the Rangers had a game later that day. Traffic increased after the UFL game was over.
The most underrated stadium in Arlington, Texas. I recommend that you should come and watch a soccer game or a football game with your family. It is wonderful and the staff are great.
First Rangers game. Beautiful facility. Staff is amazing. Very clean and organized. Can’t wait to go back!
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.

Slide 1 of 8
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.

Arlington, Texas was probably Vegas BEFORE Vegas?! Who knew! We absolutely LOVED this tour and its fascinating history. Without spoiling it... Gangsters, celebrities, murderers, underground tunnels (we walked through), real life interviews from employees and visitors, undiscovered escape tunnels, and words that cannot be spoken because it will put lives in danger 95 years later... All discovered by the Preacher's wife on the campus of a Baptist Bible Seminary... Do NOT miss the "From Poker to Preachers" tour! This is going to be the next big thing on the HISTORY Channel! I said it first!!!
We’ve passed by this location for over 30 years and today we had the pleasure of touring it for my dad’s birthday. Vickie Provided so much history and knowledge and it was very fascinating to hear about All that had occurred there. Everyone should come check it out!!
Vegas before Vegas casino and tea room that operated during de prohibition of the gambling houses in 1933. This place is unique and the curator that explains everything is great during the tour. There were a lot of Texas personalities that visited the place, includes Frank Sinatra and Bonnie & Clyde, other mafia personalities and also politicians.
I was giving some friends from England a tour of DFW. They were interested in seeing sights related to JFK and I knew this school used to be a casino and that a lot of celebrities and maybe some organized crime were involved. Even though I grew up in Arlington I had never made the time to visit. There's so much history still left underground and unexplored - I hope the city or some benefactor decides to invest because there's so many escape tunnels left hidden and unexplored - this tour will just leave you wanting more! Ask about going to see where Oswald is buried just down the road!
I highly recommend to visit this place and take the tour. Vickie is an amazing tour guide, she knows so much about the place, has met many people who visited as well as their friends of family. This place is called the “Vegas before Vegas” an illicit casino and brothel where many rich and famous people visited during the prohibition era.
I had no idea about the history of Top O' Hill Terrace until my sister arranged for us to go on a tour. I was completely unaware that this place was VEGAS BEFORE VEGAS and now it's Arlington Baptist College. If you LOVE or just LIKE History, you'll enjoy Top O' Hill Terrace. This location in the 1930s and 40s was a gambling playground for the rich, famous and infamous. We're talking about some of the big names of that time like Bonnie and Clyde, Mae West, W.C.Fields, Gene Autry, Frank Sinatra,, Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller, Jack Dempsey, Max Baer and the man responsible for Las Vegas, Bugsy Siegel just to name a few. Before it was a casino, it was a tea room but in the 1920s Fred and Mary Browning bought the property and converted it to a gambling mecca. The Browns added an escape tunnel and secret rooms for hiding the gambling equipment during police raids. The tunnel and secret rooms still exist and can be seen during the tour. It's all just fascinating stuff. Tour guide, Mrs. Vickie Bryant, is absolutely WONDERFUL. This tour is a WINNER in my book. 👍 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
What a treat to be able to learn about and see the property! A gangster casino right in Arlington. That's baller! The tunnels were fascinating. The tour guide was brilliantly knowledgeable. We could tell she's poured her heart and soul in to dissecting the history and connecting the stories wonderfully. Hats off to you and your fantastic work!
Top place to visit in Arlington, hands down! An amazing tour filled with the rich history of prohibition, a hidden casino and a bible college that youd never realize Arlington had hidden away. Famous people known to visit like Bonnie and Clyde, Ginger Rogers, Sinatra, John Wayne and many more. Hidden secret tunnels that they even havnt discoveres, flip around rooms, amazing personal testimonies. You have to check this out!

Stopped in today for something to do with the kids Such a great place! Definitely able to spent 1 to 2 hours just in the nature center then plenty more to do in the park. It's free to visit but they have a more hands on area for $5/adult and $3 ages 3 and up, definitely worth it! donations are accepted as well.
This place is amazing! A true gem of the city. Parents, bring your kiddos here to experience the wonder of nature. There’s no where else like it in the area! The classes for kids are fun and highly educational. I’m so thankful there is somewhere like this in our community. Thank you, River Legacy!
Great place to spend a couple hours walking around and learning about nature. The staff here are very friendly and helpful. The kids loved it here! The exhibits in the Lobby are free and so is the nature walk (highly recommend). There is an exhibit room which requires a small fee to enter and explore. They have a small gift shop area too which is very affordable. We want to come back when it's a bit warmer and drier. I bet it's beautiful in the spring!
Been here a few times, first when it was being built, then developed, and now it seems to be a genuinely fine science center full of fun and interactive items suitable for small groups of maybe 10-15 kids, possibly upwards of 25 (in the paid exploration part). The price is absolutely affordable. And the experience is worth it, if only to show the kiddos some of the local wildlife, including some venomous snakes as a cautionary tale. And again, absolutely worth the very affordable price! I sure wish their summer and school year programs didn't fill up so quickly!
My kids had so much! The Discovery Room is incredible, and has a lot of fun, interactive games and activities for kids if all ages. They also have live reptiles you can look at, and beautiful trails you can walk. We will definitely come back again and again.
This place is amazing! There's a ton of land, multiple entrances, and so many walking/biking trails with lanes. I love the fact there's multiple playgrounds, picnic areas, and even an upper body workout station. Perhaps best part is the science center, which is quite hidden and blends in with the environment. It's beautiful and has a lot of info for all ages. They host events throughout the year and post info about wildlife. Even, concrete paths and lots of grass so everyone can effort differently!
I photographed a wedding and a community event here last year and it is such a wonderful and unique space!
The staff was absolutely amazing!!! They answered all my questions and made sure I felt comfortable and at ease about my son’s high school graduation dinner. It was a beautiful set up and a wonderful experience! Thank you Shannon and Kimberly!

Nice outdoor area for concerts. Bathrooms are close by. Bring your outbacks or blankets to enjoy the evening.
Awesome shows there every time! Little Joe is by far one of my all time favorites. I even got a good shot of the moon above the stage!
Great night out for Do Good Fest! Great bands to donate their time for such a great cause! Thank you Collective Soul, Tonic & other 2 bands as well as City of Arlington and Levitt's Pavillion!
Great place for concerts, went to see Strangelove got early and found a great watching spot. No issues with parking. You can bring you own food and drinks (including beer) if the concert is free. There are also local places to buy from if needed. In general great experience, wish it was closer to home as we drove quite a bit to get there.
I was there for a concert. Bathrooms were easily accessible and clean. The concert was fabulous.
Wha an amazing time! While in town repairing my parents home, we took a night off to spend with family at the Levitt Pavilion. The Pavilion is perfectly placed right in the middle of town behind City Hall. Bathrooms are modern and clean, food trucks are a plenty, sound is great, the grassy audience area is perfect for bringing lawn chairs, the sound was great, parking is easy. No complaints! We listens to Fastball, Tonic, Collective Soul, and followed Ed Roland’s guidance to come together now, and we gelled.
First time here and it was a pretty cool place for an outdoor concert venue. I got there late so parking could be a hassle, I lucked out and someone was leaving as I was pulling up so I found parking pretty quick. Plenty of vendors. Plenty of police so I definitely felt secure. I will definitely be back again. I don't know why I've never been prior but I know now.
Great venue. Would love to see other types of music like traditional rock or contemporary.

Great theater with tasty food and amazing and amazing service! They even hand out mints after the movies!! I Definitely recommend the gourmet popcorn, triple cheese sliders, and brownie sundae!!! I do wanna mention there’s a small rip in the screen in Theater One when watching Red One so if you’re sitting close it can be a bit distracting- please take note upper management! But 10/10 recommend to anyone in south Arlington looking for a movie night out :)
Spent a special day with my girlfriend and decided to see a movie. Got to the movie a little earlier and decided to have a few drinks and the bartender Garret took very good care of us. He was very attentive. The drinks were excellent. And we actually got some movie actor insights that not even Rotten Tomatoes gave. I hope the movie is as good as the bar.
I sat at the bar for quite a while because I was waiting for friends to arrive. Jordan was so friendly, knowledgeable, and just all around personable. He went over all of the specials and promos with me. Great personality and awesome smile! I will definitely come back early for the next movie to visit with him again. Great employee!
Interacting with the head bartender Mary is always a great experience! She laughs at my dad jokes and though I’m not a drinker, I appreciate her positive personality, knowledge and skill. That’s not even the best part though. I love to watch the customers joyous reactions to her 5 star service.
Terrible experience, to say the least. Food was served cold, got it remade but it was clearly just the same plate microwaved. Paid $5 extra for brisket, food came with no brisket. Waited over 30 minutes for a side of ranch that never came. Overall, I paid $28 for cold “loaded tater tots” and a water. If you’re looking to pleasantly dine and enjoy a movie I wouldn’t come here. Food is mediocre and so is the service. Will not be returning.
Yall can tell you do not care about the look of your establishment. Managers care enough but could tell it was out of there hands. If you want people to come in and spend money give a care geez. Giving a good review due to there service. They really care and attention to detail is there. Is there higher ups that dont give a care in the world to give them the tools they need. Went over a few stores reviews for this company and they are not the only ones going thru this. As a buisnees owner is a huge disgrace to see this. Fix it! Or you will loose so much business.
Amazing bar tender J! He take care of everything! Food and drinks are always good!
Rivers was incredibly kind and professional while taking our orders, you can tell she really cares about providing great service! Working in the food service industry myself, I know how important it is to recognize the people who truly care about their job. I really hope she’s being taken care of and set up for success — she deserves it. Jaden was very friendly as well and made this location a preferred one over Lincoln Square.

Went there for the East V West arm wrestling event. Great place to watch a competition. Huge screen, makes the stage visible for everybody. Parking could be better run. Felt a little more like a high school football game. But, still, a great place.
I attended a Warhammer 40K event at the Arlington Esports Stadium, and while the event itself was fantastic, the venue had some drawbacks. The space wasn’t quite large enough to comfortably accommodate everyone, and the sound insulation left something to be desired, with noise from other areas seeping in. Overall, it was a good experience, but the venue could benefit from some improvements to better suit large events like this.
Came for an AEW wrestling event, nice lil venue. Considering it was packed, it was pretty warm in the place. Nonetheless, Great show! Great time with the homie.
We attended the East vs. West Armwrestling tournament to support a couple of athletes I sponsored and was pretty impressed by the venue. It was very large and although we were in the back, the big screen made it easy to see what was going on, which was nice. I can't speak to the on-site parking as we stayed at the Sheraton around the corner which I suspect is usually attached, however, the sky bridge was under construction and we took the sidewalk which was a nice little 5 minute stroll. Overall it was very cool, in a great location, and super convenient.
Attended the pokemon regionals that were held in the expo center. It was large and spacious. A little overwhelming to have everything all in one place but convenient to not have to walk all over to different areas. Ample seating in hallways. Was quite noisy, come prepared if you're sensitive to noise. Had some food options but were limited for this event. The stadium was blocked off and so we were only able to see expo center. Expo center is accessible, lots of parking and a ramp upon entrance.
Great place to hold events. Saw the Phil Heath Super Show. Great experience.
It’s important to know that this venue recently hosted a job fair for ICE. I will never step foot in this place or give any business to it, nor attend any event hosted there. This venue is complicit in fascism.
Amazing place!!! I went on July 9th for the Overwatch League Homestand and I loved it! It was clean, well organized, spacious, and I felt safe. Event staff were awesome and masks were heavily enforced. The event went off without a hitch! I'm really itching to go back for the next Dallas Fuel live events!!! 💙

This sports bar is simply spectacular. The giant screen makes every game feel like you’re right there in the stadium, with incredible image quality. The atmosphere is lively and full of Energy, perfect for getting together with friends and sharing the excitement of the match. The food is really good, with generous portions and flavors that don’t disappoint. Without a doubt, it’s one of the best places to watch games and celebrate after a victory. I can’t wait to come in 2026 to Watch the world cup! Highly recommended for any sports fan! ☺️
We recently hosted an Alumni Reception at Texas Live!, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. From start to finish, Victoria and her team were outstanding, professional, responsive, and truly invested in making our event special. Even though our crowd was smaller, it felt like a major celebration thanks to their attention to detail, flawless setup, and genuine hospitality. Everything ran smoothly, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how wonderful the space and staff were. Highly recommend Texas Live! and especially Victoria Lennox for any event, large or small. She’s simply the best!
Came out to see Ethan Pacheco live. Had a wonderful time. We sat indoors but there is also an outdoor patio with plenty of seating. Many bars with a large selection of beer and spirits. Restrooms were clean. Parking was a bit of a challenge mostly because there was a game going on, but there is plenty available. No wait for a table. Service was great.
Texas Live! is always super fun to hang at for events and other activities! I've been a few times now for various events, the most recent being the Love Island Finale watch party they were throwing at Texas Live! this past summer! It's a really open, expansive, spacious set-up inside, and also plenty outside to enjoy, including a few outdoor bars - complete with an absolutely GORGEOUS view of the Dallas Cowboys AT&T Stadium. Unlike some other venues that are similar in scope to this, the food and service always seems to be ON POINT at the various options throughout - quick, friendly, and helpful staff offering up delicious food. And yes, it's a bit pricey...but that's to be expected at a venue such as this, and they also do have some options such as weekday Happy Hours that will bring down the prices a bit. All that being said, this is a really solid venue to hang at for not just sports, but other events and activities that are held here throughout the year! I'd definitely recommend going if it has something happening you'd be interested in!
Huge TV's, great food and drinks. Tom's of options. Triva was fun. Watched the Jays advance to the world series! Pretty awesome night with coworkers. Nashville Chicken Sandwich was amazing. Nice and spicy!
Always have a great time every time I come here! Highly recommend if you want to have a good time with some drinks. Special Shout Out to Harper he attends us the best at all times, amazing service and makes the best drinks! Overall food is amazing and have fun every time. Definitely will continue to come here!
We went here after such a victory win from the Cowboys against the Eagles. This place has bands, outside sitting, huge screen TVs to watch the game. The only down fall is you gotta pay $10 fee to go in. Im not yo keen on paying someone to let me inside to drink lol. But is a great place to have fun.
“The food was okay, and the environment is really nice. I did notice that kids have to be out by 9:00 PM, so it’s definitely a good spot to come with friends.”

Amazing and overwhelming. So much stuff. I think Traders Village has EVERYTHING including a roller coaster and an RV park. You can buy a used car and any part to customize it then have it installed on site!! Clothes! Furniture! Kitchenware! Jewelry! Home decor! Art! Tools! Party supplies! Food! Lawn ornaments! I love Traders Village!!
Nice place to spend the afternoon with family, and I bought a lot of things from here. I just wish they had designated ares to cool off other than the Subway. Maybe it's because I'm not from Texas, but the heat was almost unbearable. I recommend bringing a fan or going early in the morning! They also sell animals like bunnies, puppies, and parakeets here.
I was amazed by this place. Really cool! Like a flea market, but better and a small amusement park all in one. Numerous places to eat at also. All the vendors were nice and their prices were steals! I would highly recommend this place. You probably won't be able to walk the whole place in 1 visit! That's how big it is!
Trader’s Village in Grand Prairie is a true Texas-style flea market experiencepart shopping, part carnival, all fun. With endless stalls to explore, savory street food, bargaining excitement, and even amusement rides, it has something for everyone. Whether you’re hunting for quirky items, seeking a casual weekend outing, or just want a walk through something uniquely local, this place checks all the boxes.
Very nice place full of new and used stuff, overpriced items and a lot of junk as well. Overall a nice place to spend a day. Paid Parking and I suggest go on shorts and hat, it’s really hot
You can find just about anything here, from plants, rims and rugs, to watered down detergent, used lotions and old toys. They also have lots of mexican food and amusement park rides (unlimited is $14). Parking is currently $6.
It was a great experience. My family loved it. We only spent $200 and all 4 of us purchased things we wanted, rode rides and even ate meals. I’ll be returning before I even think of the fair.
Vendor Review: We booked a spot over the phone, we needed electric, they gave us a location on the last row in an empty area people use for parking. This led to one of our worst weekends in business. No warning we were booking in a empty row, no options to book a different location were given. There is no way to book a weekend spot near the rides, all those are monthly buildings. Not really a market for new or out of state vendors lookin for a place to add to their list of places.

Wonderful staff, very friendly and helpful! Enjoyed all the exhibits showing the history and bowling legends. Thank you!
Lots of great displays and exhibits showcasing the history of bowling. I have to admit I am not super into bowling, but the museum was engaging with a lot of neat stuff.
Amazing museum that makes a comparatively niche interest into a fun and interactive experience. I was stuck in the area due to a multi-day flight layover and stopped by after seeing good reviews. The museum didn't disappoint. It wasn't busy at all and I experienced most of the exhibits on my own. All the exhibits are very well-made, informative, and entertaining. The interactive elements are also high quality and fun. The exhibits also heavily feature women's perspectives in the sport, which was refreshing and done with a lot of respect. The staff was also extremely friendly and I enjoyed my brief conversations with the woman at the front desk.
Even if you are not a serious bowler, this is a fun place to check out. Lots of exhibits sharing the ancient history of bowling. Interactive displays and short movies. The onsite staff were very friendly and helpful.
I go to A LOT of museums. Like probably 20-30 per year. This has to be one of the best I’ve been too! I had 0 interest or knowledge of bowling and I was captivated the whole time! Great for adults and kids with lots of interactive opportunities. By the time you reach the end of the museum you’ll be itching to pick up a bowling ball (spoiler alert: you get the chance to play at the end). Well worth the price of admission and then some. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!
If you are in Arlington and looking for a educational experience and Love the sport of Bowling, this is for you! Family fun. Highly recommend you stop in.
This is easily one if the coolest niche museums I'e ever been to! And that's before the fun duckpin bowling at the end. My 6 year old child and 30 year old husband loved it equally!
The receptionist Kaitlin was very friendly and knowledgeable. The museum was fascinating and deceptively vast!

Went to the World Market store for Walkerswood Jerk Spice. Best I've found for chicken and fish. Hard to find in grocery stores. A little bit pricey but a good place for supply and worth the price. After I went shopping, I was offered a bottle from my brother. He had problems finding the product in grocery stores and had ordered 12 bottles online. The store is always spotless and well organized. I didn't need any help this trip but the employees are always very polite and helpful when needed. There were very few customers in the store when I arrived this time. Close parking is always hit or miss but it's a huge parking lot. Very interesting place to shop with a huge assortment of items from all over the world. Great place to explore before all holidays. You never know what you will find.
Very awsome experience for the family. Kids had fun as well as the wife and I. There are lots of cool arcade games and things to win tickets. There is a big bar and restaurant out front. There are plenty of things to do for all age groups. I highly recommend this place. It's a bit on the expensive side, but you get what you pay for. Lots of parking space.
I enjoy my little dates out in this area. If you haven't grabbed a bite to eat from one of the amazing restaurants around here, or something tasty from the Peach Cobbler and sat in the new lawn patio area, youre missing out! You can hear music from the shopping center, birds chirping, and its a nice chill cozy, picnic like vibe.
This is an outlet mall with lots of restaurants. The plus side is the restaurants. Very crowded, lots of people come here, especially on weekends. But you can find all types of cuisines that suit your taste, or if you want to explore new flavours. Great to bring the family. They also got a movie theater. Plenty of parking, but be mindful that it gets busy.
Although I have visited this place many times, today's experience was truly disappointing. An employee dropped a mop and it nearly hit me. I believe the cleaning procedure should be adjusted for example, by prioritizing areas without customers first to both ensure cleanliness and not compromise the safety and experience of those present.
Chris was friendly and knowledgeable. He told us about the specials and helped us pick out a dessert. He greeted us and cleaned our tables promptly. Very good experience will be watching movies here more often!
My sister and I were here recently watching comedian, Shuler King perform. The atmosphere is great. And the food here is fantastic
Absolutely loved my ribs 😋 😍 ❤️!!!! Best ribs, hands down, they are worth the money!!! My sever came to my table late but she was on point when she came honey... and I mean I had her running... I like my food a certain way and she made it happen. Even sent the mrg by when I told he I would take it home n fix it myself.... she was like no I got you!!! I'm definitely going back and u all should check them out also!!! My top shelf margarita 🍹 was ok I got a shot of Don after that took me where I needed to go, and I'm home now like yyyyeeeeeessss!!! I had a great experience at this bone daddy's and I will definitely be back and I definitely recommend you guys stop by and have a drink and bit to eat!!!

The event I attended was a very fun way to spend an hour, and the host was a pleasant commentator (:
First visit got off to a rocky start: Was hard to find general public parking; The parking lot sign said we could pay at some toll station that we could never find; The receptionist / cashier wasn’t available at 12:30 PM opening time, so maybe we were supposed to go to the main office in Room 364 as the sign said? Nope, we couldn’t even make it to any Room 364. Was about to write a bad review but the young lady named Bailey (sp?) redeemed the visit because she … 1. told us to come to the later show because we were too old to appreciate Big Bird 2. hosted the presentation with enthusiasm, even showing humor when the projectors glitched and froze a few times 3. helped my son with his homework after the show was over. Full stars to Bailey. Will bump this review to five stars if they do better for our next visit.
We enjoyed the 1 hour film. Wish it was more than an hour. Easy to get tickets upon arrival. The theater was very spaciousand clean. Film is great for children and young students. Greeters were friendly and nice. However, for only an hour film and driving total of 2 hours to watch it, plus car parking fee may not be worth it next time. The signs for parking was confusing "free on the weekends but all permit required at all times". Not sure what "permit" meant so we ended up paying for parking to make sure we do not get a ticket. We didn't know how long the film was as we couldn't find information on the website so we paid for more than 2 hours parking. We will not return.
Ultimately it was disappointing. The main event really didn't benefit from the curved screen as it could've been just a regular flat screen film and had nothing interesting to visually see on the planetarium screen The lady who did the constellation sight seeing utilized the immersive screen correctly and really delivered a worth while show. The final event was this strange Rollercoaster marble film with the most out of place song I've heared in a planetarium There were also physical issues. Dead pixels dotted the screen although not enough to completely ruine the view. The screen itself was also not aligned correctly so you could tell where the seams were. The actual films they showed we're so visually outdated that they reminded me of when my teacher would roll in the TV to watch a badly 3D animated movie about science. Kinda want my money back.
Went to the big bird show super amazing love how affordable this was to watch and the staff was amazing and so helpful and easy to work with thank y’all
we came to see Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” & the visuals along with the entire album being played was TOP TIER! it was better than i envisioned & def an excellent date night activity to do! We plan to visit again & check out their other showings.
The planetarium is very nice. The seats are very nice and recline back quite a bit and are comfortable. The only complaint I have is that the show we watched (the northern lights) seemed like it was out of focus the whole time. I don't know if it was a resolution issue or not. We watched the dark side of the moon and the visuals were better, but the volume needed to be turned up about 300%. If the visuals are going to surround you then the sound should surround you as well. Overall, worth the price and would be excellent with a couple of adjustments.
We had my son's birthday party here. The staff was lovely and we enjoyed the show. The price is very good for getting a private showing. My child loved the where they personalized the slideshow for him. If your kid loves space, have the party here.

This museum is a Hidden Gem. They put together the MC Escher exhibit and is the first museum to show it in the United States. I've gone twice now 😍 because the exhibit was so good. It's also right next door to the Medal of Honor museum.
Arlington Art Museum Arlington, Texas MC Escher Exhibit 2025 I've been an MC Escher fan since the mid-70's and have purchased several of his art books. My two adult kids grew up with his art in our home. We had prints, books, posters, and mugs. Our kids were excited to take a family trip to the Art Museum and see the work of this phenomenal artist! It was pretty incredible to stand only one foot away from his works! Probably a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The Arlington Museum is beautiful and easy to navigate thru. Parking is easy and restrooms are huge and spotless. It was a memorable visit.
If you love the series, you will be interested in this unique exhibit of actual costumes and props from the show. The displays are well done and we had a personal tour from Dennis the facilities director.
THINGS to know before buying tickets and driving toward the museum: 1 Tickets at the door are cheaper by $1.50 service fee each. 2 Bring Bluetooth headphones to listen to audio tour by scanning icon. 3 Bring warm clothes and even jacket because icy cold inside! Wow, the Escher Exhibit is extensive and wonderful. It makes you appreciate how detailed and intricate his works are, and how time consuming!
I had a chance to go to see the GAME OF THRONES exhibit on display and it was ÉPIC!!! To get to see the actual costumes John snow, Tyrion Lannister , little finger and Cersei wore was amazing .. We were met by the front museum staff who sold us the tickets of whom were extremely kind and welcoming, then just as we were about to pass westeros viewing the map of the seven kingdoms we were met by the amazing handsome director DENNIS! The tour he gave us made me feel like I was in universal studios with a behind the scene look with the wonderful information he provided. To top it off I GOT TO SIT ON THE IRON THRONE!!! If you are wondering if you should go don’t wonder anymore! Don’t miss it!
This is a very nice venue for an art exhibit. There is no signage on the building. It looks like a museum, so I think you're supposed to figure it out. We saw the Escher exhibit. The works were well displayed and there was audio accompaniment for each drawing through their app with your own headphones. I like this option. The exhibit included a movie which was informative, although a bit long. There was also major noisy bleedthrough from the Smurfs exhibit housed in the same general area as this exhibit. There is a small modestly stocked gift shop.
Saw the Escher exhibit here. Layout was good and audio guide was available. Outside of specialty exhibit, the museum doesn't have many pieces in it's own collection. They are however quality art works.
We went to visit the Game of Thrones exhibit after already visiting earlier this year to see the Wicked costumes. Let me tell you what an incredible experience the Game of Thrones exhibit was! The costumes, weapons, sigils, flags, and other items displayed are breathtaking on their own. The artistry and detail are stunning. The icing on the cake was the Director of Facilities, Dennis, dressing up in theme and giving an unofficial tour with behind the scenes tidbits delivered with charisma and humor. That made the whole experience unforgettable for my sister and me. Thanks for making it a great day!

What a wonderful dog park. They have it separated for big and small. Extremely large open space for dogs to roam and have fun. Enough room for you to walk around too. There are benches and plenty of trees to provide shade. Plenty of nice and friendly dogs and people around. Going to come regularly with my corgis!
We LOVE this park. It's so unique to find a park with such a large, fenced in area that has both open, well mowed space and trails with more forest-like space all together in one. The regulars were welcoming and our pups had a great time.
Spacious dog park in Arlington with three fenced-in areas for big and small dogs. Took Moose and Ingrid to the large dog off-leash site today, then walked the trails — they came back tired and happy. The park has plenty of room to run, toss a tennis ball (or Chuck It), and meet other friendly pups. Mix of shaded and sunny spots, with benches, water bowls, and a hose for cold water. Trails nearby connect to Cravens and Fish Creek Linear Park — good for a walk or ride. Bring extra water if you’re hitting the trails, as there are no fountains along the way. Overall, solid park — giving it 4 stars. Will be back again 🎾
Very nice park there were several benches back in the Shady woods. We had terrific time. Our dogs loved the open areas and the abundance of trees they could mark lol. There were separate areas for both large and small dogs. There was water along with bowls and toys scattered throughout. I recommend this park and encourage you to take your dogs for a visit.
By far best dog park around! Wooded area for my fur babies to forage for magical things and open grassland for galloping goodness
By far the BEST Dog Park I have been to. Great open area and a wooded area for the dogs to run in. Poop Stations and a Waterfall to ensure the park stays clean and your pet hydrated. Definitely worth the 30min drive to get there.
I am giving this 4 stars because my dogs absolutely are crazy about this place. If I mention dog park they go crazy and I cannot get them leashed up fast enough and in the car. They will not calm down until we are in the car driving to the dog park. As soon as you are enclosed in the fence you can let them loose. It is completely fenced with a forest area with lots of trees. After rains it can be muddy and slippery. Take my advice do not where sandals. Wear tennis shoes. They are open until ten pm each night. If you go in the evening make sure you spray with Off. Mosquitoes are really bad in the evening so cover your arms and legs. My dogs love to run here so it has become a daily stop. The regulars that come here are very nice people with very well behaved dogs. And to my surprise this place is very busy at 0630
The large dog area is littered with dog feces that irresponsible owners failed to clean up. The small dog area is cleaner and thus better for walking around. The treed areas provide a lot of needed shade in the Texas summer.
