A 16-mile self-drive trail to view wildflowers.
Reviewed By Napunani - San Antonio, Texas
We drove Highway 16 from Fredericksburg to Llano and then Highway 71 out of Llano to Dripping Springs on a Saturday to avoid the Sunday crowds. The wildflowers were amazingly beautiful!

Not much to see here. The house was used for the exterior filming of the tv show but that's about it. Upper floor was being renovated so they gave us post cards to show us what it used to look like. Little cemetery for JR, Jock and Miss Ellie.

I enjoy visiting the McKinney town square and looked forward to introducing my sister in laws and nieces to it on our girl's weekend. They were delighted with the shopping opportunities and the variety of eating establishments.

Attended an Allen Americans game there. Have *many* times in the past and had a blast! This time halfway into the first period our seats buckled onto the floor, tossing us forward, resulting in spilled drinks and an entire order of nachos tossed on the people in front of us! We uprighted the seats, and called an usher but before he got to us they fell totally to the floor. He was quite apologetic and suggested we take any available seat "although all seats in this section are sold." (Thanks for the direction, dude.) We moved a row up, away from our family, nobody ever claimed their seats, and he came back in the second quarter and said that they would fix the seats. The End. No "can we replace the drinks and nachos you lost?" or anything else. Wow. Absolutely horrible customer service. I would avoid this venue for a while.

Went to iPic for the new Spider-Man movie. Sat in the reserved seats for 2 and server was not great unfortunately. We placed order at bar and went and got food there after they buzzed us (instead of utilizing the assigned server) b/c he was...MoreThank you for reviewing iPic Theaters.

Nature Reserve, garden, hiking trails and nature center provides an escape to nature.
Reviewed By Hollis P - Westampton, New Jersey
We needed to get outside on a beautiful winter day and decided on a visit to the Heard Natural Science Museum. Our first stop was at the visitor center to get tickets and a map. The fee of $50.00 was reasonable for four adults and two children. The center offers several exhibits on the main and lower floors. There is a small gift shop that is conveniently stocked with many items under $5.00. After exploring the inside exhibits, head outside to the trails. Be careful. You will encounter some scary animated dinosaurs along the way. There is a frontier town which is actually a group of playhouses. Live animals are also located near this area. There are several spots with picnic tables to enjoy lunch or a snack.

Great outlet mall, love the selection of shops and the prices. It's been remodeled lately and there's more eating places in the center building. There's also more parking behind the mall which helps on weekends and holidays. My favorite stores: The North Face, Columbia, Nike, ASICS, Lucky Brand, MK, Perfumania and recently reopened Fossil. There have added more sitting areas with fireplaces and kids activities for those of you that don't love shopping so much. You won't be disappointed!

Splitsville is over the top in many ways. The atmosphere is nothing like bowling alleys of yore. Instead, lanes are angled, lighting is varied and the bar is in the center of things. Servers don't let your drinks run dry.
Speaking of which, this place actually has good food and drinks. Not good for a bowling alley, but really good. Plus, if you're not into bowling a game of shuffleboard is highly recommended.
Service has always been top notch. The manger is visible and involved and his staff stays on top of things. Even the restrooms are spotless. So even if you're not into bowling, this place is just plain fun. And yes, you should plan to eat there.

Wanted my sisters and niece to have an unforgettable girls weekend in Dallas. This was so much fun !! It was a sunny day when we took the llamas on a 21/2 hour walk in a beautiful park. We learned so much about the llamas from Momma and Daddy llama. Too be so close to these big animals was breathtaking. We got terrific pictures and a book that Mama Llama published that will be precious to children and adults alike.I would go back and do it again. What wonderful stewards Sharon and Paul are with these animals. It makes you want to be apart of this worthwhile mission.
