I went to this mosaic workshop and honestly, it was such an amazing experience…read more The space is very well equipped. They have so many colors and materials to choose from and everything is so organized. The people who work there is always walking around offering help and suggestions so you never feel lost. They also gave us mocktails and had snacks available, which made the experience even better. Everything was really good. If you like arts and crafts, this is such a fun activity. It's very relaxing, I felt so calm while working on my piece. Time definitely goes by so fast when you're focused and creating. Just a heads up, they include different mold sizes with your reservation, but if you choose a bigger one than what's included, they do charge extra. Overall, I loved it. It's perfect for a date night or for having a fun time with a group of friends. I would definitely do it again

After a very distasteful experience at another haunted house last year & with this being an hour…read morefrom me, I was apprehensive. I of course read a handful of reviews that gave me the push & I am so glad I did. This will definitely be somewhere I go again next year. I love getting scared & used to frequent halloween horror nights, so I can say with confidence all of the houses were scary! You can tell effort & thought was put into each house, plus a sufficient amount of actors in each one that what made it so fun! I was impressed with the level of professionalism each ticket attendant had, with a smile on their face. Rather than having us enter with multiple parties in line, it was done individually so allows to have a more tailored experience w.o it being ruined in front of you & having people up your butt behind rushing you (that drives me crazy & is so insanely rude). With that said, the line does go much slower, so I ended up adding on the fast pass right there at the kiosk, which was well worth it. I was alone so the first house I was getting bored waiting lol. Parking was easy, & even though it was off the beaten path, didn't feel sketchy driving there at night. Even the porta potties were clean & maintained. One thing I would ask to improve is adding tables to sit. Can't wait to go back!

So glad we finally decided to go to Doc's and we will for sure go back again!…read moreEasy to buy tickets online and there were staff present when we arrived to make sure we knew where to park. There are lots of options for food- they have a concession stand there with hot dogs, snacks, candy and popcorn and such. There is also a food truck you can order from. We got food from both and were pleasantly surprised at the fair prices, portions and taste. My husband also went to the bar/speakeasy and said it was a really cool spot with lots of beverage options. We brought blankets and pillows for the kids in the back of the truck and then some chairs for us. We had plenty of space and it was a perfect night. Such a fun, nostalgic activity for kids and adults alike!!

Went for the first time for their murder and mystery event at their speakeasy. The speakeasy is…read morevery cool. The hidden entrance and decor is awesome. The people who took our tickets were both really friendly. The African American bartender was really friendly too but the blonde just seemed like she didn't want be there. Either that or she just doesn't smile in life. We had a really good time playing the murder and mystery game even though there were some hiccups, they had to keep taking small breaks throughout the game to fix things. It was their first one though so I get that they are working out the kinks. I definitely want to come back once they have done the game a few times and really have it nailed down. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because I think we were legit ripped off by the bartender. My husband had one old fashioned for $15 and 3 canned beers for $3 each. I had one dirty martini, one Moscow mule and 3 glasses of Pinot noir and our bill , which wasn't presented itemized , came back as $150 which was $170 with tip. The math just doesn't make sense. Plus , the pours were really meh. Especially the wine she barely poured me a full glass. They really need to improve the pours if they are somehow charging $20 a pop for each drink, either that or the bartender really did rip us off. Shame too as other than that experience this please was amazing!

It was my family's first time going to Mama Mary's Farm and although it rained an hour before, it…read morewas still a great time. My daughter loved to corn pit and while the rain picked back up, the staff ushered us all under covering and into the corn pit. The food was solid and thankfully not overpriced. The pumpkin patch, games like football toss, basketball free throws, and others were good attractions. We were also able to ride the train and feed the goats and donkeys. The corn maze was in shambles after the storm from the night before and the whole farm was a mud pit, but seeing my daughter have a good time was fully worth it.

This is one of the best pumpkin patch places I have ever been to in Texas so far. It is compact and…read morebeautiful. I like the set up, everything is so easy to access, perfect for little ones because of the size and layout of farm. We went on a weekday, less people and less hot, so that was a huge plus. If you are on the budget and don't care about hayride and face painting then weekdays would be an option, because for $9 you get enough to experience. Now I avoid going to some places because they charge you so much and offer some basics. If you like country, you will enjoy it here. Ms. Mary was so personable and sweet. I had a nice conversation with her and I can tell they put love and lots of efforts in what they do. Very nice people and nice farm. I would come back here even it takes some driving. I would recommend this little gem. P.s. it was a pumpkin give away day. A nice bonus!

The kids ate it up...lots of comedy in his act and the parents enjoyed it just as much as the kiddos.

This guy is GREAT! Highly recommend.

My first job that took me down the path as a chef for a few years started at a hole in the wall…read morecalled Acme Bar & Grill in Mt. Pleasant SC, so I'm familiar with a low brow affair. On one hot Saturday afternoon I was looking to change things up a bit so google suggested Giddy Ups. I will confess driving up I was a bit apprehensive as it felt like a hole in the wall of a hole in the wall in the middle of nowhere. Upon arriving one will notice the parking lot is extremely worn with minimum upkeep while the facility wasn't that much fancier. Walking in you can feel the history and life. Everything is rustic and rudimentary as if the place was bought for pennies on the dollar. The outside has old fashioned 2x4 overhang with old plain wood columns, a huge red and obnoxious store front (but in a good way) and a tacked-on sheet metal shed. Inside, a half mannequin here, a thousand local artists in picture frames there all with dive bar tables and chairs make up the main area. Oh, there's a stage too if one can call what amounts to a step as a stage. The staff here are humble and nice. As for alcoholic beverages, if they got it, they're gonna make it for you. However, be warned the selection is limited, keeping in step with the bare bones mentality. Speaking of drinks, they're extremely affordable. I enjoyed my bourbon and diet coke just the same here as anywhere else while paying a fraction of what other places charge. In the side attachment or "shed" they have a number of games. One gripe I have is that they have the most disgusting bathrooms I've seen in years. No more elaboration needed. So what are my final thoughts? Giddy Ups is grass roots, simple but not for everyone. I like it and like the vibe but in my vast list of places to visit I just can't justify coming back especially if I'm looking to impress a date. It's not a bad place at all, just not my flavor.
