The tour was very educational and fun, our group learned quite a bit on the process of Rum, Vodka, Bourbon, and Whiskey. I thought we would have more than 3 tastings but it was still a good tour. The drinks we had afterwards were very...MoreThank you, Shayla! Although we generally offer 4 tastings on the tour, if there is anything else that you'd like to sample, our bartenders will be more than happy to help. Please come see us again soon!

Nice pretty park but not anything really special about it. A lot of people park to eat lunch there as there isn't much for seating plus its usually too hot anyway.

I take mini vacations often. I’ll take a day, find a nearby old town and “window” shop. Grapevine Texas is one of the places I go. Yesterday, I spent about 6 hours walking the main strip in old, historic Grapevine. It was decked out for St Patrick’s Day. I found a street gender with jerky. The farmers market offered unique kiwi berries and local honey. I bought a wonderful spiced tea soap and lotion at Grace. An outfit for Bass Hall was found in a boutique. I was disappointed that the store that had metal yard work was closed. I had a wonderful time here, enjoyed the rain, the people, the shops and the experience. I’ll be back.

Love the comfy seats and getting food and drinks is a nice bonus. Food is pretty good. Only thing I would change - (1) a blanket would be even better and (2) service seems to stop once movie starts so can't get drink refills or popcorn refills

I've lived in the Dallas-Fort area most of my life and have somehow never seen this area of town. I know I've been close to it several times. Anyway, I was highly impressed! A nice little square with a park and gazebo in the middle and lots of shops and a few restaurants all around. Check out the Plaza Theater on one end. It's been converted for use as an event center but they still have some live shows in there as well. As I understand it, more parking is coming for that area as well.

Staff was very friendly and helped squeeze us in right at closing time on a Sunday afternoon. Interactive stamp machine kept the kids intrigued and looking forward to the next room or sea life. Tunnel with glass ceiling & floor was awesome; the kids could not get enough and a bathroom was conveniently placed in the middle of the tour! The educational video at the end was a welcomed break for the parents and very enlightening for the kids. It was also very cool that they had a station at the very end that was interactive and allowed you to give your opinion on what wildlife the company should work with next. Would gladly spend a couple more hours here again on our next vacation. well Done Sea Life!

Great place to walk, bike, run, etc. The new pavilions are very nice. There are water fountains even for dogs. In the Summer go early or late, not much shade.

The Trinity River (specifically the Elm Fork), flowing through the heart of Dallas, is not particularly noted for its beauty. Unfortunately, due to fellow citizens STILL not properly disposing of their trash, much of it winds up in the river. So sad. However, on a recent Saturday, hubby and I decided to check out kayaking the Trinity with Trinity River Kayak Company. Very nice operation! Ultra clean and organized check-in shop with a nice selection of supplies, if needed. Staff very knowledgeable and friendly. Shuttled to our put-in site with some great background information about the river shared by Jeff. We did the Double Rush starting at Lake Lewisville Dam. (fyi: Six hour ride which requires pretty constant paddling). Lots of great bird viewing (bonus: Came upon an Egret rookery high atop a Cottonwood (I think)...about 15 nests each being guarded by a statuesque Egret. So incredible!). Most stretches of the river were quite lovely and lush. We did our part to help clean the river but picking up the rogue plastic bottle/styrofoam cup we came up which were floating mid-stream. A great way to spend a day in the city, while feeling very much out in nature.

My aunt and uncle, who are locals, took us to this place. You can see the planes take off from Dallas Fort Worth International here. There is a small park with a small free parking lot. Kids of any age would love this, especially considering you cannot get this close to most airports.
There are no restrooms or food for purchase. It is wheelchair and stroller friendly.
