    This museum is a hidden gem! It is on the smaller side, but it is incredibly informative and…read morewell-maintained by a dedicated group of volunteers. As soon as you step inside, you're greeted by a guest book for sign-in. While browsing, I noticed they sell heart-shaped locks for $10 and quickly realized they have a dedicated "love lock" fence outside! It was such an exciting find. There is a shop within a block that does professional engraving, but the museum provides Sharpies at the desk, which worked out perfectly for us. It ended up being a total "core memory" moment for my husband and me. The exhibits themselves are fascinating--I especially loved looking at the antique equipment and the old-fashioned phone booth. It's a wonderful way to spend an afternoon if you're looking for a bit of local history and a charming, personal experience. Definitely worth a visit!

    We made the hour drive out to Waxahachie on a beautiful Saturday and ended up wandering into the…read moreEllis County Museum, while exploring the square. This wasn't a planned visit to the museum, we didn't even know it existed. But it turned out to be the highlight of our day. We learned so much about Texas history, and so lots of fascinating pieces from way back. For example, we saw some fans from the 1700s, and old telephone switchboard, so many artifacts. The old photos of people walking the same streets we were on was fascinating. We saw clothing and furniture and dishes from 1800s an early 1900s. We completely lost track of time in there. The museum runs solely on donations, so definitely stop by if you're in the area. Kudos to the people that keep this place going!!

    Museum of Illusions was such a fun little downtown adventure. Parking was easy and I lucked up with…read morea spot right up front. I walked right in. Purchasing tickets online was simple and let me choose the exact date and time I wanted to visit. Check in was quick with the email confirmation. The museum itself was very clean and I constantly saw employees wiping down and tidying exhibits. Some of the illusions were tricky to figure out at first, but the placards on the walls explained everything really well. The staff was also super helpful and happy to show guests the best angles for photos. Emma was especially amazing at helping frame pictures and making sure we got good shots inside the exhibits. One exhibit featured a spinning tunnel that was tough for me because of equilibrium issues, so keep that in mind if you are sensitive to motion effects. This is a quick and entertaining side quest while downtown. It took us about an hour and fifteen minutes to experience everything.Theres no rush and you move at your own pace. I would definitely come back again.

    Went during a holiday weekend so we expected to face some crowded-ness going on, but WOW, the…read morebuilding was way smaller than we expected so it was very hard to get photos without another person practically staring you down for their turn. Employees were very attentive when asking if we wanted to get a photo, which is great. There was even one employee who was cleaning one of the mirror illusions, but stopped and took the time to explain how the illusion worked for us. I wish I had gotten his name, because he was an awesome employee. My main gripe, as stated previously, was that the museum was smaller than we thought. It took us 30 minutes to get through all the illusions, and for the price point to enter, just didn't seem worth it in comparison. I'm glad I went, I just probably won't go back for a while. I did get some nice photos.

    I've heard so many great things about this museum and was super excited to finally visit over the…read moreweekend! It was SO big. Definitely spent hours in here, as there are so many levels, room, activities, etc. Really loved the activities that were super engaging, both for kids and adults. The spots area on the bottom ground floor was super fun and not crowded at all. The price is well worth the visit! perfect place for families, and even just adults (i saw some adult friend groups who were visiting and they looked like they were having so much fun!) Parking is across the street under the highway. it's $15, which is not the best but at least it's a short walk. It was pretty easy finding a spot too.

This place is huge with multiple floors of hands-on and educational exhibits that kept our son moving the whole time. We even booked the soccer exhibit with our general admission tickets and had a lot of fun exploring different soccer challenges and interactive spots at our own pace. Our son especially loved building a Lego arena and creating his mascot at the soccer exhibit. The museum is clean and the staff are friendly. We booked our tickets online which was very quick and easy. We went on a weekday and it wasn't too crowded, which made chasing our little one around much easier. There's a parking garage within walking distance to the museum and you pay before you leave. We had an absolute blast especially our son. If you have an active little one who loves to run around and explore, this is a fantastic spot. Highly recommend - we'll definitely be back the next time we're in Dallas.
