The Taylor Mansion was everything we had imagined for our big day and more. The grounds were well maintained and everything was in full bloom. A few reasons why we picked The Taylor Mansion: 1. The location, its in the city but felt like the country. 2. The crystal ballroom, a beautiful well air conditioned room that had the elegance we were looking for. 3. The endless photo opportunities, the house and grounds have multiple areas for perfect wedding photos. 4. The owners, Lindsey and Robert! They were there to answer any questions and advise us throughout the whole experience. You can tell this is their passion. They are helpful and kind venue owners who went beyond our expectations and helped make our day truly magical! We can't say enough great things about The Taylor Mansion, will definitely recommend to others. Thank you for a once in a lifetime beautiful experience, we are 5+ stars happy!!!

The arena itself is covered but mainly outside so dress accordingly. The bleachers are a bit tight on nights with a packed crowd, but everything was visible from our seats. You can tell that this facility is well taken care of and that updates have been regularly taking place since it was built. The Jumbotron at the end of the arena was great for watching replays and didn't appear to have any broken/missing lights. Overall, this is a great place to catch a livestock show, rodeo, or concert!

This great old place has gone downhill since the purchase by some local music spot. The ticket…read moreprices have gone up and more tables have been placed to maximize the profits. Tables were placed in front of the 2 far dance floor exits and the exits by the stage have been blocked off. Management allows people with beers and open cup drinks on the dance floor and couldn't care less about what is spilled. During the Neal McCoy show, 1/3 of the dance floor was taken up by people standing and drinking. This was once an amazing dance hall, now it's just another place to charge folks high prices to listen to music.

We had an amazing time at Blue Hills Ranch in Waco, TX- I highly recommend a trip out there to get…read morethe up-close and personal experience we enjoyed with all the amazing animals! Fantastic staff, happy animals, well-kept facilities...what an incredible day we had. It feels like a dream. Easy day trip outing with the family or as a date- book your animal experiences online like we did at https://www.bluehillsranch.com . The staff was flexible to shift timing of the experiences so we didn't have to wait long in between- they were extremely accommodating and we never felt rushed either. The otter swim/playtime experience was originally what drew us, and it was even better than I'd imagined. Worth every penny! Then we got to feed and pet the capybaras, which were way friendlier than I thought they would be! The babies enjoyed some extra belly rubs too. Bottle feeding the kangaroo was so fun too- little Dundee was SO soft and loved all the pets, even gave us kisses! The giraffes were super friendly and greeted us every time we were nearby; feeding and getting quality time with them was an extra treat. The safari ride tour was also amazing- 5 of us fit comfortably and got to feed/see lots of animals that we wouldn't normally get to experience. We were surprised at how this place wasn't crowded at all in the middle of July when it is peak vacation season, so it really felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. They also have a beautiful main lodge area that is comfortable and welcoming with additional animals to enjoy.
