    Meow Wolf in Grapevine was SO much fun! I honestly wasn't sure what to expect, but I had a blast…read moreexploring all of the different rooms and interactive exhibits. There's so much to see, and I spent about two hours walking around, taking pictures, and discovering all the little details. It's definitely one of those places where you'll want to take your time because there's always something new to look at. One tip: wear comfortable clothing or athletic gear! There is quite a bit of bending, climbing, and moving around as you explore, so you'll want to be dressed for it. They also have a cute gift shop, mocktail bar, and café, so you can grab a drink or bite before or after exploring. If you're in the Grapevine area or visiting Grapevine Mills, definitely add Meow Wolf to your list! It's fun, unique, super photogenic, and a great experience whether you're going with friends or exploring on your own.

There are doors that lead to mysterious passageways, all kinds of colorful artwork, and interesting Alice in Wonderland style settings. Parking was easy. I thought the price was reasonable, given the fact that it provided about two hours of entertainment. My two complaints are that I would've preferred they not dabble in politics and I also found the story hard to follow. You are supposed to solve this mystery, and I was not able to make heads or tails of it. Perhaps that would've been easier with the app.

    In town for the horse races so decided to have some fun and this place does not disappoint!…read more Everyone is so nice and helpful. So, there are different sections and you lay according to what you want to do which, I think, is ridiculous! But we tried them all! We expected about 90 minutes based on the website information and ended up there for 3 hours! Obviously they have a gift shop but very unique and popular where kids line up is the hand wax molding they do. Kids love it as they dip their hands in wax and the employees are very skilled at doing them. Keep in mind, we came with no kids, just 4 adults and it was, not only, interesting, but quite fun! In order of my favorites: By far the "moving theater" was exhilaration and fun. You sit in simulators with 3 D glasses on and have attached hand guns you use like in an arcade. Object is to shoot as many werewolf's as possible for points and the one with most points wins. The guy heading it was also helpful as well as fun and even offered to take a group photo for us. The chairs move and fans blow wind, it was my favorite! -House of Fear- another excellent experience, you walk through and see different types of menacing creatures typically found in horror flicks, very fun and somewhat interactive as you walk through, loved it -wax museum was next fave, so cool all the genres and time pieces, they weren't too lifelike but close enough to be amazed! -the regular Ripley's museum takes the longest only because so so many things to read about, the displays had very bizarre things and people, a little on the twisted side. -my least favorite was the house of mirrors. I just didn't like it, I went in and quickly turned around only to exit out of the entrance! However, this was my mom's favorite!! All in all, a very fun experience, it wasn't too crowded at all and they were a bit understaffed, but a nice experience for the family

    Going here early was such a great idea!!! It was super empty. Nothing but a great time. Very self…read morepace and easy to follow through. We did all five attractions. The maze was insane! Pretty challenging. I thought it would be easy. But nooo. When I walked up to the entrance twice I knew this was a tough one. The maze I loved because Ramsey was the first person we saw. And we share a birthday so being there on my birthday was great. The 4D movie was so much fun too. It was a great experience for the day.

It's worth a visit when passing the time away waiting for your flight. There are tables and charging stations. It has an interactive photo booth as well as a digital archive. The Max Headroom skateboard lured me in. One of the giant bottles on display weighs in at 2 tons. I think it's the one from Boliva that has Aztec carvings. I didn't get a picture of it, but I will next time. Check it out if you happen to be in Terminal D.

It's bigger than Manhattan Island. There have been a few times that my gate has changed-at the last minute of course-and I've almost lost my breath shuttling to the opposite side of the airport to board my plane in time. Now I know why! This, however, was the first time my gate was located in Terminal D. Lo and behold, there were even MORE dining options but what instantly caught my eye and held my attention was the "Coca-Cola Around the World Experience." It's a Coca-Cola MUSEUM in DFW airport. I happen to enjoy quirky installations in unexpected places, and this one showcases everything from an interactive photo booth to a curated collection of vintage Coke memorabilia and even a digital archives explorer. Check it out and "Share a Coke!"

    This museum has the absolute beeeeeest children's floor I've ever seen at any museum we've ever…read morebeen too! We could spend the entire day here easily. We have a two year old and we basically had to drag him out he wanted to stay there all day. There is soft play area where there's no shoes where the very little ones can crawl around and play with big pillows and soft sticks. There's a big yarn thing to climb on. There's a big water area for them to play with pipes and running water. There's a few big tables and pits with hundreds of legos, a book corner, and a big floor to ceiling interactive screen room which was amazing. There's also an outside area with rock walls and climbing areas. You can park your stroller at the start where there are bathrooms and hand washing area as well as a place to fill your water bottles. The museum itself was really nice with multiple floors of interesting topics from dinosaurs to space to an earthquake simulator. I think for those floors it's best to be 3-4 or older. Everything is still very stroller accessible!

    If you are in the Dallas area visiting or local you should definitely come check out this museum…read more Great for family and date. Dinosaurs for the kids and man with culture and gems for the ladies. My favorite is definitely the gem collection- probably the most impressive gallery on display to any museum. I love how many unique pieces and how remarkable they are. The facility is modern with multiple floors dedicated to different categories from space/science, archeology, meteorology etc. For parking , street or private- both convenient.

You will learn the extreme lengths Michelangelo went to over 4 years to create these paintings. You will see up close the fine detail and will learn where Michelangelo's self portrait is and why he portrays himself this way. Do NOT SKIP the audio device. I bought a VIP package, and the clerk only gave me the option to scan a bar code and listen on my cell. I did not being ear buds so this was a waste to me. Later, as the exhibit got busier, I saw the audio devices, so that was annoying that I wasn't given that option. Finally, the paintings followed a good flow but the informational panels and accompanying audio are numbered and the numbers do not match the flow. The hand held devices could simply scan in. I had to scroll through a website. I also did not like the lighting. While this is a temporary exhibit, the lighting could have been improved. I was not impressed with the exposed extension cords. Each exhibit had a stand alone light fixture, and most of the cord was tucked away. But the plugs were exposed. Finally the light itself was harsh. It looked good on the wall, but was glaring when you needed to read the informational panel. I bought a book for $12 at the end. It essentially shows each panel separately and contains the same information as the wall description. I would have loved to have this in my hand while walking through. Finally, don't miss the video presentations. I do recommend this exhibit. If they would spend a little extra effort, I would make it a high recommend.
