For reptile fans of any age this is a must see. Put your nose to a life sized T-Rex and see how you feel! Sit on a dinosaur! See how ginormous pterodactyls really are. It's also good the tour is just for you. They don't add in other people to make up numbers. Our guide was up to date on the latest Dino finds and facts. This wasn't just a "hey we build dinos", there was so much more background behind it and very educational. Seeing the models in various stages of being built and then how they are finally sent out to the world and what happens to them when they come back is intriguing. Then you have the different disciplines from the mechanics and animatronics to the skeleton accuracy (ask how they really hold their wrists) to the skin creation and painting. A mention of the oversized bugs, they're bugs but the detail put into them is worth a closer look. Best thing we've done in Allen in 20 years. I still think they thought I was joking when I said I wanted to buy one.

Went for an afternoon visit. Had found top golf on a list of things to do near dallas before and thought we would give it a try. Neither of us has been golfing before so we weren't sure exactly what to expect. The staff walked us through setting everything up and explained how the games themselves worked. We had a lot of fun even though we weren't very good and plan to bring the kids on the next trip!

Great place to meet for lunch, happy hour or dinner and take some time for shopping. The variety of the places to eat is only topped by the variety of the shopping in this quaint little village of shops. The atmosphere of a village with a creek running through it is relaxing and even in the heat of summer has an air of casual comfort. The parking garages located at the edges make parking possible since on the street parking is hard to find but not impossible during the morning and early afternoon. Lots of special events make this a village of entertainment and friendly togetherness.

This store is a little smaller than most Cabela’s, but it still has a great selection. You can find almost anything in store that you order or find at the larger locations. It still has an excellent display of taxidermy, from North America to African game. An aquarium full of black bass and stripers. Excellent gun selection, new and used. If you watch the adds they run some very good sales. It’s worth the stop even if you want to just look around.
