    After having breakfast up the street, we came to see the new glockenspiel; Nat and Willy, would be train robbers, come to life. Although signs warned that because the glockenspiel was still "undergoing mechanical refinements" and that "the characters may not emerge from the Tower as scheduled", we did get to see Nat and Willy come to life. Now I've seen my fair share of glockenspiels in my day, but this was the most unique. The best observation spot is caddy-corner to the south-east, where an audio program accompanies the action on the tower. Do arrive a bit early though, as the show starts BEFORE the designated hours (noon and 6PM). Status of the glockenspiel can be found here: http://www.grapevinetexasusa.com/WouldBeTrainRobbers After the show we went into the Grapevine Convention & Visitors Bureau, which is also described as a "Museum Complex" and "is a symbol of friendship and hospitality. The facility represents the architectural period of significance from the 1870s through 1915 and is a tribute to the architectural and commercial heritage of Grapevine." (wall plaques, outside along Main St., explain the buildings) The inside of the building was very nice, and refreshing cool. We hoped to find out where the glockenspiel was made, but no one in the facility knew*. There was however a good selection of pamphlets on local and statewide tourist activities. Also on our visit the National Watercolor Society Traveling exhibition was on display (through June 15th, $3 entry fee). I suspect other venues will making use of this very nice space. * I've since learned: "The Glockenspiel was built by The Verdin Company of Cincinnati, Ohio. Since 1842, the Verdin family has been dedicated to creating tower clocks, street clocks, fine cast bronze bells, carillons and more that enrich communities and become cherished legacies for generations to enjoy. Grapevine's Cotton Belt Hotel Tower's Glockenspiel is the first of its kind in North America." - http://finance.yahoo.com/news/grapevines-glockenspiel-clock-tower-debuts-200300489.html

    This train setup was pretty darn cool

    My review is for the museum in downtown Grapevine. Fun spot, takes about 15 minutes to indulge. Kids who adore trains will LOVE this spot, for me it was just 'meh.'

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.

When I showed up and found the place closed, I called to check, and Tim kindly agreed to give me a tour even though I was the only guest. He made sure I felt comfortable throughout and kept the experience engaging with local history and stories. We cruised around the Trinity Garden, which ended up being one of my favorite parts. On top of that, he shared fantastic restaurant recommendations. It felt more like exploring the city with a friend than a formal tour. Huge thanks to Tim for making it such a memorable experience. I'd absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for something unique and enjoyable!

I spent about 10 mins trying all the different things our tour guide asked me to practice. I pickled it up very easily. Everyone did so as well. Anyone can ride segways. I wish we had more segways all over the country. Tour started off in the downtown Fort Worth area. We stopped at many historic destinations along the way. Tour guide was very funny and very knowledgeable. My favorite part was by the riverside. Absolutely gorgeous weather to ride Segways and made our trip even more memorable with lots of great pics. Our tour guide took some incredible pics of us. Highly recommend this experience if you're trying to do something cool and fun.

I think this association is due to the fact that I come here almost exclusively to attend their psychic fairs, classes and sessions (as opposed to only shopping). Here you can get a tarot card reading, communicate with loved ones on the other side, find out who you were in a past life and meet your spirit guides, just to name a few of the opportunities for spiritual exploration that they offer. Some of my experiences have been so enlightening and impactful that I would describe them as life changing. As far as the store itself and the merchandise they sell, to me it's more like the gift shop attached to an attraction. Like most gift shops, it's enjoyable to browse, but the goods can be a little expensive. However, these days with the pervasiveness of online shopping, it's the price you pay for the ability to see/touch/smell items before you buy them.
