Great place to enjoy a Saturday in close vicinity of Dallas. Lot of variety of beer available for tasting, each of them tastes amazing, staff is super friendly. Each beer had a unique taste. We liked blood and honey the most. We were surprised that they only charge $10 a person, considering what's on offer - brewery tour, a sovenier glass, 4 beers of choice , music performances, super economical food vendor, and a well maintained place to enjoy picnic. And if you're lucky like we were today, you'll also get to enjoy a special performance - they had a Troupe from Arlington specially come in for performance today to celebrate Chinese New Year. They played pretty energetic music, and performed traditional dance with Tiger costumes. The brewmaster himself was available to answer queries and explain the process. We had a long interaction with him. They've installed a lot of picnic tables in open as well as in the shade and have a decent open ground in the middle of the brewery. Kids can enjoy playing in the large open ground as well..

My wife and I drove 272 miles to see this museum and it was the 6th. doll museum we have visited in the Texas-Oklahoma-Kansas region. A nice lady told us about the history of the area since it was our first visit to Granbury, Texas. She then told us about the displays as were went from room to room. We were then allowed to tour the museum at our leisure as much as we wanted. We have collected dolls for several years and we have nearly 2,000 dolls ourselves. We saw several dolls there that we have and many that we don't and all were wonderfully displayed. We plan to come back to this museum again to see more. It is worth the drive.

Our family loves this place. We go at least once a year. Take lawn chairs or blankets. They have an area where you can sit outside by the concession stands. The concession stand has a surprising selection (nachos, hot dogs, as well as popcorn and candy). It is fun to step back in time and our family has had nothing but good memories here.

Stopped here to get some info, and had a great chat with a young lady there. She only lived in Granbury for a year, but was very knowledgeable of the city, had good advice and was a PLEASURE to speak to. Good amount of info there to take with you. Worth stopping here as you first get into town. It's right next to the square, so you can walk to everything from here.

9. Hood County Jail and Historical Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 140 reviews
The museum is housed in an authentic old western jail built in 1885 and located just off the northeast corner of the town square. The museum preserved the upstairs jail cells and hanging gallows just as they were when the County used it as a jail. The main floor houses exhibits on Hood County history covering David Crockett's descendants, General Granbury's tombstone, the Colony, Jesse James, John Wilkes Booth, Bell Starr, Comanche Peak, Barnard's Trading Post, the Brown family piano, and much more. It is recommended to call museum in advance.

First, the family that runs the museum is so friendly and knowledgeable. They guided us through the cellars and downstairs museum. There are a ton of artifacts and lots of written history to read through. It took us about 45 minutes to go through the whole thing and that was really stopping to read and look at most of the artifacts. Bigger place than we had thought. It is a great little place to stop and check out if you are needing to kill time before your play at the opera house starts.

We rented a pontoon and were very pleased. The service was exceptional and the boat was nice and clean. Rick gave us a quick overview of the lake and helped us avoid the areas of the lake that could have been a problem resulting in potentially ruining our vacation
