Ok - you've gotta look beyond the oil industry here . If you're traveling through , head North and…read moreyou'll find some great gems . Travelers are mainly put on the southside / freeway area and at first glance you wouldn't be impressed with the view ... Thank goodness for Google & Yelp. Catch a workout at boutique studios like Mōtiv , Embody Lagree, Hotworx (infrared), F45 , Vibe, Cyclebar , D1 training and Renewed fitness. If you're a foodie or just hungry , you've got options like Spitz Mediterranean, Pure Green , Venezia , Volcano sushi , Opals table , Cinnaholic , Georgie's , Panchuco, Abuelos, Decasa, Saint Blaise, Providencia , Amara and yes they've got vegan BBQ over at browns bbq. There's more coffee shops and food trucks than I could count . Literally lining just about every street here . You can have a good time if you plan your stay and do a little research.

We love nueva vista! It's a public course that does offer memberships. The grill/bar (no liquor) is…read moregood with a small menu that has all been pretty good! The course has some areas that are rough with dirt and rocks, but we are in west Texas and not at a country club. I don't mind it at all, but have heard some people talk about that being their biggest complaint. In my opinion it's worth dealing with because of the relaxed atmosphere. Plenty of carts and nice clean restrooms and clubhouse. All in all it's a really cool and enjoyable golf course that midland is lucky to have!

WOW!!! This is by far the most underrated children's party venue in the entire Permian Basin! Not…read moreonly is it cost affordable, especially when compared against other Midland/Odessa options, you also get the ENTIRE place to yourself! And, without paying extra, all of this is INCLUDED in the price: *Fridge/freezer *Microwave *Popcorn machine *Hotdog roller *Two flat screen TV's with DVD player *Jukebox *Tablecloths of your color of choice *Three story play place *Indoor jumper with slide *Air hockey *Basketball game *Piñata set up *Play set up for smaller children *Full private hour for set up Apparently the party before us broke the DVD player and Sonia and her husband went out and bought a brand-new one for us instead of just saying, "Sorry - it's not available!" And when I sent text messages with questions on where to find things because I'm always lost when something is right in front of my face, Sonia was always the NICEST person on the planet!!! Plus, if you opt to do your own clean (which just includes cleaning up after yourself plus sweeping and tossing the trash) they will refund $50 of your money! That's a great deal!

Booking the party was easy, it was online. Once you walk in they already have complimentary table…read moreclothes in a color of your choice. They turn everything on and give you a small walk through. This place is the PERFECT balance for all generations. Once you walk in it's a beautiful grass wall for cute pictures. Lots of places to seat along with tables. They have a fridge, microwave, and hotdog roller. Once you keep walking towards the back is all the fun and action! From bounce house, basketball, and multiple story jungle gym. There is tvs for sports. And a juke box for music of your choice. They do have other options for an extra cost. They are punctual and confirm ahead of time. The cost is what really had me, and it's ALL TO YOURSELF! I loved how the adults could talk with out hearing alll the kids playing/ screaming. It was just the right about of space we needed. Everyone had a blast. I would highly recommend to anyone. This a a small family run business and you must invest LOCAL! Only complaint would be parking, and to update the ball pit area. Other than that it was perfect!

Good way to teach your kids about hockey. And good to watch. Keeps the edge off of going to Dallas for a game. Most of the time the games have plenty of seats. You can get cheap seats.

Pioneer Park is a nice little hidden city park. I like that it's close by our home. The kids seem…read moreto enjoy the play equipment... I personally don't think there is a *ton* to do on it. Miracle play equipment includes: 1 big slide, 1 little slide, 2 big kid swings, 2 baby swings, 1 saucer swing, a couple climbing ladders, those "weird 3 ball climbing thingies" and a "cat walk" type thing. I do like that the playground has that squishy rubber ground cover in case of falls. There are also some workout equipment for adults including an arm press, rowing machine, leg press and a "gazelle" type thing. A decent-sized walking track goes around the area as well. Not sure how long this park has been around but it appears that it used to have a bunch of trees here but the empty open squares throughout the concrete leads me to believe many of the trees died. 2 picnic tables and numerous benches are here as well. There is an older single soccer field here as well. Only 1 goal remains which leads me to believe they don't play real games here. A youth soccer team was practicing while my kids played on the playground. Usually there is no one here when we come. All in all, a decent playground to mix it up. Not the greatest but I like that it's usually just to ourselves.

We have visited with the Aquarium Technologies guys on multiple occasions. Over all this is a…read moremediocre at best. They have more of a freshwater selection than saltwater. I dont keep freshwater tanks so i cant comment on the health of the animals. The saltwater side of the store looked worse off than the fresh side. The tanks that normally keep fish had a few basic fish in them, a lot were empty. The tank in the center of the store had a few small basic corals but also had a very sick clown swimming in it. Any coral that would be sold from it would spread the disease to other fish at home. The product selection was very lacking. One small wall maybe 8 feet by 8 feet had products. When asked if they could custom order a product from a brand already carried in the store i was quoted a higher price than in 300 miles in any direction from the store, including Lubbock, Hobbs, El Paso, San Angelo and parts of San Antonio. Live stock selection 1.5/5 Live stock health 2.0/5 Product selection 1.0/5 Customer service 1.5/5 Hours 4/5 Location 4/5 easily accessed once you find it. Parking 5/5 Probability of returning 15%, I have no reason to return. No fish, coral or product selection, there are much better options than AT.
