Since I was with my son I did not partake of adult beverages, but I shall return with great thirst. Only concern was that the park did not have a lot of fans. would have been nice if more people would take advantage of the cool little ball park.

All in all you can go check a game out for under twenty bucks if you do it right. AND there are always tons of goofy between-innings promotions. The stadium itself is great. It doesn't have the old school charm of LaGrave in Fort Worth or all the glitz and glamor of the Ballpark in Arlington, but it serves the purpose. The suites are nice if you get a chance to go in there and the rest of the seats are great. Cup holders, plenty of leg room, not a bad seat, etc. For the kids there is a basketball court and some sort of wiffle ball field over on the side, if you have those kid things. I love this place. I love a good deal for a high quality product and this place is it. Go on Thursday nights; much fun.

Review #2 of 2023!!…read more First time attending the parade but it wont be my last! I heard about this through a simple google search after hear something about it on the radio. Sure enough it seems legit so I made the drive from fort worth to Dallas. I left with early to find parking because I know one thing for sure is that Dallas is always short on parking. I did some research and saw a park not too far away from the parade route and decided that is where I would park. It was easy to find parking if you don't mind walking a bit. There was a soccer game going on so already there were lots of cars but when I got there I was glad to see people dress in mardi gras colors walking to the parade route! People brough their coolers and lawn chairs to enjoy the parade. I also thought about this but since it was just me it would be more of an inconvenience to carry them haha. There was a tent near the parade route that looks like it was headquarters for the 5k fun run for the parade. In that area they had food trucks, a variety of vendors and most important beer haha! There were also bouncy houses for the kids, a phot booth (free of charge) and plenty of porta potties! Inside the tent they had more vendors that were actually part sponsor of the parade so they had some freebies for anyone that stopped by their table. The weather was nice and it was not too hot but I did see some people bring their own umbrella stand for shade (smart). The parade itself was nice, lots of classic cars, high school marching bands, neighborhood associations, local musicians and plenty more. The parade was around an hour and a half so get here early for a good seat because the closer it got to kick off the more crowded I saw it get. After the parade was over I walked over to the bishop arts disctrict where the 'after party' continued and omg yall It was packed! You could hardly walk outside because it was so crowded! They blocked off the street and even then it was such a hassle, the lines for food were enormous that it discourage me from supporting the local restaurants there. Lets say you did get some food there were no places to sit down, inside or outside. I guess you have to get here before the parade is over so you can have a good seat to eat. I did enjoy the fact that they had a band and a DJ along the street and there were local artist selling their crafts. I saw some cool plant stuff but I resisted temptation and just keep swimming. Eventually I ended up leaving after checking out some of the other businesses that where right outside that main area. Everywhere you walked a restaurant seem to have some kind of festivities going on and I will keep that in mind next time I go. I suggest making it a day in Dallas if you go to make the best use of your time out here.

That being said, my expectations were a bit hit and miss here. But mostly a fantastic experience. I love that it's exquisitely beautiful and very clean. I love that staff is formally dressed to impress! Collared shirts and all, it allows the guest experience to feel better. The cream of the crop though is the trumpet guy. He was everywhere and making people feel really special, by playing and getting the crowd to sing, he's really magnificent. A stand out to all other tracks, as nobody has what he does! The aircon is fabulous, so you can feel comfortable the entire day! The food service stations were helpful and nice all great! Each employee has a specific job , so nobody will help you if it's outside their job we discovered, as in helping find seats, getting programs, where's the ice cream, where do we enter for premium parking? All questions we had a tough go of. I wish there were umbrellas out front for shade, I wish more tables and chairs ground level inside, I wish there was a pony station to pet the ponies? But no. Another surprising thing I saw was a pony rider, while waiting on the track, smoking a cigarette! One cinder flick in the air onto a horse or person is not safe at all. Am really shocked this is allowed. Totally loved the "car wash" to the side for the horses who just finished, what a treat to see and treat for the horses, people say they love it. Could be good for marketing! Speaking of which, in my week there, most locals where I went, grocery restaurants gas stations didn't know that track existed! It's a marketing thing but maybe big Texas track doesn't need the money, not sure. Houston has the very best marketing team. Perhaps get some pointers! Now, this is by far another best, the track announcer! He's really the best, he talks loud enough and slow and has the most kind and caring voice of all. Most track announcers act like they've had ten gallons of coffee, not this guy, he's like everyone's loving grandpa! He keeps everyone up to the minute, and we just happed to be there with the inclement weather closure and the race collision and he was cool as a cucumber! Another one of a kind. And then lastly, security. Top notch, they make sure you are accounted for with proper ID and all, it likely any horses here will be tampered with or stolen, fat chance! And the outriders, again top notch safety, they secured the loose horses that fell super quick, they are constantly on the lookout for safety, getting ponies in line organized for each race, for a guest it looks so well organized! Sorry such a long read, but loved it here and wanted to share and hope this helps others who wish to spend the day or more here, it's so so fun! A MUST DO WHILE IN DALLAS!

We had a great night at Silks. This was our first time visiting. There was a mix up with the table…read morewe had reserved but they made it right immediately. It wasn't super busy so it was an easy fix. Pay attention to where you're seated if steps are an issue. All of the food in the buffet was very good. There was a carving bar with prime rib and turkey. There was a make to order pasta bar. And salad bar. Plenty of food and you could graze all night. I think the buffet close just before the second to last race. Non alcoholic be enrages were included. Our waiter wasn't that attentive once he knew we weren't drinking from the bar. But we did ask for a carafe of soda and it all worked out. Will definitely visit again.

While there, we saw that EpicCentral appears to have a gym, an indoor water park, and indoor pickle ball courts. The staff were helpful and friendly, and it looked like a fun community spot and there is surely more that we didn't see. Outside, there is a large grassy area and bridge that takes you across the water to an area with several restaurants and a playground. The lake has a fantastic light and fountain show at night.
