    The historic Paramount Theater's beauty has been lovingly cared four. The detail is amazing. I especially loved the midnight blue velvet ceiling with tiny twinkling lights that was made to resemble the night sky and stars.

    Been a long time since I've been to the Paramount Theatre, checked out upcoming events and the have several that look to be a good time. The Paramount is used new days for live theatre, classic movies community events, parties, concerts The Paramount Theatre was built in 1930 in its hay day could seat 1500 people & cost around $400,000 to build. What a historic piece of Abilene.

    Very cool architecture

    A great place for a movie or concert. Takes you back in time. Only complaint is the seats - they need to go!

    As with this being an old theater the leg room is very scarce, I had to get up and walk around a few times and stand during intermission.

I was in town and killing time before meeting up with some people in the evening, and came across this as an option. I swung by and was thoroughly impressed. The young man behind the counter was friendly and walked me through where I'd be going and what I'd be seeing. I was the only one in the "next group" for the intro video, and he even delayed the start time since I ran to the restroom before roaming the grounds. They have an impressive display of artifacts ranging from early Texas all the way through the frontier days, including a very impressive array of historic guns towards the end. They have interactive kiosks and hologram displays where actors portray historical figures and tell "firsthand" accounts of what was experienced on the frontier, right out of the accounts left by those people beforehand. There's a second theater towards the end of the museum that's a lot more immersive. You have to rotate around in a swivel chair as the story is told from all around you, and there's lights and sound to really sell you on the experience-- all from the comfort of your air-conditioned chair. I don't plan on being back in Abilene anytime soon, but if I ever was back with friends, I'd take them here to check this place out.

    Excellent displays of artifacts from the early days of Texas. Quality movies portraying how Texas…read morechanged and the demise of the buffalo. Very sad, but made way for cattle. Good coverage of the Native Americans and their culture. It was seriously the best kept museum I have seen. And many hands-on elements. Definitely worth a visit if in the area. The staff were very friendly as well!

Her communication level lead me to believe the day-off would be significantly better than it was. there was an issue with the ceremony site equipment set up at the venue- that was reasonably stressful for Lisa (and not her fault), and it seemed she was not able to bounce back from it. multiple guest commented that she seemed stressed throughout the night. beyond that our first dance song I don't believe was cut down, there were significant awkward pauses between songs at the reception - I have my Spotify set up to fade into the next song. again Lisa's communication prior to the event was really good- maybe she was just having an off day.
