    Whether on a date, friends trip or family gathering Historic Downtown Grapevine is an entertaining way to spend your time.

    We visited the week after Christmas and see why HDG is the Christmas destination it boats to be. From cute boutiques and general stores to specialty shops and a farmers market with tamales the walk down Main St has something for everyone.

    Many restaurants, snack shops and wineries will keep everyone with plenty to eat as well.

    Free parking is available and the crosswalks have audio for those that may be visually impaired.

    There were several little places for photos and entertainment for kids as well.

    Can’t wait to go back in the spring.

    We had a good time. We went during the day. It was really crowded in certain spots, but the overall art and atmosphere was fun. I think we would have had a better time if there were less children around

    We were visiting the area for a conference at a hotel at DFW airport. We wanted to pick up dinner and enjoy the fresh air. This place was perfect: A great place for a walk, tables for us to eat at (there were benches available too). There was a meeting of some kind going on so the bathrooms were not accessible, but otherwise, a great find!

    great place for kids. I stayed one night. So. there were enough for my kids. one kinder and teen.

    I am local and read review a few hours before I got there and some of the review made me scratches my head if I made a good choice to go before school starts. it was a good choice in a way and also a bad one.

    I will(can not) not go back for one reason. I was cough all night during sleep. I am sensitive to allegen. Entire building is damp/wet/humid due to being indoor water park. I don't know what I was breathing but I coughed alot. (almost asthma attack level). Stay away if you are worried air quality

    Other than that, kids had fun and I don't feel I wasted money.

    1. room was clean and updated unlike some reviews I read. I stayed in family suite on the lobby level.
    2.partking lot is not huge. it's in fact smaller than Walmart and walking is not a big issue to the car.
    3. good water park.
    4. food and everthing is at resort level price(some may say it's overpriced), expensive However, good choice of restaurants are within 2 miles. Uber/Doordash are available.
    5. their response time on the chat is awesome (mostly less than 5 mins) to assist with any issues/questions.
    6. it's not luxury hotel experience but it was good place to spend time in summer. I liked it.

    Tips?

    1 very small bathroom. very limited shampoo and soap. I recommend to bring your own. motel 6 has better ones and provides more.

    2. check in is very cumbersome. I had about 13 families in front of me and waited 15 mins only but took another 15 mins to go over what I already read during reservcation with the staff. very unnecessary. .After I checked in, the line got long. I am pretty sure they had to wait about 30 mins or some. go as early as possible. Pre check in on the app is not for everyone.

    3. I checked in around noon and got the room around 5:20 Official check time is 4. I had to text to ask what's going on. don't expect to get a room around 4, check in time. It seems like a common issue there.

    4. Food choice is really limited being a resort. Use uber or go pick your own food. Much cheaper and better.

    5. get a room on the lobby level if possible. Wait on the elevator slows down everything.

    6. Parking becomes easy during chow time. Some people leave to get..Eat out early or late if you want a good parking spot.

    7. bring a water proof phone case. cheaper to bring and at least one person needs a phone to order food, etc.

    8. bring snack for kids. I really don't see any healthy choice there. Also bring something for yourself.

    9. try not to eat or drink inside of water park. Enjoy a few hours and go out or uber food for a break. one hamberger combo is 16 and they quality is not that great. one can of beer is 10...I can't forgive the price of the beer

    We visited the lake this weekend and had a fabulous time sunning and swimming. The water felt so refreshing on a 92 degree day.

    I had no idea this even existed until my uber taxi driver passed it and gave me a brief summary of it.
    I was scheduled to see the 9/11 Museum and the WTC Tour in Manhattan 2 weeks after my Texas trip, so seemed a good idea to absorb some sobering information over flight crew victims who are generally overlooked.
    The driver took a U-turn and we spent 20 minutes admiring this immaculately maintained monument.
    Texas have done these brave souls proud with such a dedicated piece of work.
    Not a "tourist attraction" in the sense of the word, but certainly worth a visit to pay your own personal respects.

    We weren’t a fan of any of the wines that were served, but enjoyed the experience and hospitality. Great service and a an attentive hostess who gave us a detailed history of the winery, winemaker and setting. Easy access on Main Street in Grapevine. Wines are made from California grapes in Fort Worth.

    We love the Palace Theatre. There are excellent shows year round; comfortable seating in a historic setting; and it’s located in wonderful downtown Grapevine, which is especially fun at Christmastime. This season we have attended a movie and three concerts, and enjoyed them all. Overall, we feel that they make a sincere attempt to comply with COVID health precautions. They have reduced guest capacity, and they could not be more clear on their website that they want their guests to wear masks during performances. Nevertheless, some people take them off when they sit down. I understand! They are uncomfortable and the medical advice regarding masks has been conflicting, to say the least. But if you choose to go somewhere that states that it’s a requirement, you put them in a difficult position when you refuse to comply. At our last concert, there was less compliance than at the previous performances. This upset some guests, who complained to the staff, who then had to walk through during the performance asking people to put their masks back on, which probably made THEM upset...It just seems unfair to businesses like this who are trying to get back on their feet. Anyway, we are fans of this theatre and look forward to our next visit. If you are new to Grapevine, there is free public parking a block behind the theatre and at several other locations downtown.

    What a lovely place to sit outside and share a bottle of wine or a few glasses of wine! We sampled the Sangiovese which was good but surprisingly we loved the Grapevine Red. This one would be a great summer red wine. We sat outside and listened to a single musician sing and play. You can choose the grassy yard, under cover patio or 3-sided tent. We wished the outside bar was open for reorders rather than go into the house. Granddaughter even enjoyed the gazebo and snacking on our picnic blanket.
