As far as things to do and see in DFW , which DFW lacks, this should be on your list. I too visited on a weekend that did not have costumed interpreters, which would have made the visit better. My suggestion would be to check their website and/or call to see when the park is fully staffed, I believe it... more

Of all of the exhibits I would say there were only about 25% that were open. There were no characters giving information and no other visitors. OK it was a Wednesday afternoon in late October but it was still $7 each to get in. Finally, and perhaps my biggest frustration, was of all of the exhibits there was vitually no... more

Today we went on a field trip with my sons school. I had never been here. It was amazing to see all of the attractions. A few were closed to see, but not too many, still enjoyed what we saw! I took over 100 photos. I plan to go back with my family. If you have not been, make sure... more

On Jan. 3, 2008 my husband and I stumbled upon this place while sightseeing in Downtown Dallas. When purchasing our tickets we were informed that several of the buildings would be unavailable for us to view because there were no staff members present. We paid 5.00 each and decided to look at the ones that were available. Since there was... more

My husband and I were married at the little church in Old City Park in 1995. I wanted a nice, lovely church that my 150 guests would fill. I looked at other churches, but thought that this venue would suit us best. We had beautiful pictures taken on the grounds of the park, in front of the church, etc. It... more

What a fun history lesson. We did a self-guided tour of several historic places and homes. The only downside: There were 2 large homes that we could not tour, seeing them would have made this museum even better! more

That they now charge to get into this city park ($7!) was a big disappointment to me. In the early 90's I did volunteer work there. At that time there was no admission to enter and enjoy the park (it IS an actual city park) and only a $2 fee for a tour of the interiors of the buildings. What... more

Our family went here for a little outing - 7 adults and 3 kids. The total price would have been $61 to walk around and look at the homes. Yes, they were lovely, and some were well maintained, but the place was D E A D - not another living soul around except for the two ticket takers who followed... more
