What travelers are saying
- Michelle B1 contributionWhat an emotional journey into the past. Kevin is a gifted historian/archivist nothing short of exceptional in his narration of the nine month period leading to the assassination. No detail has been spared in recreating the Paine house: despite its dark past, one can feel the comfort and nostalgia when there. The tour is a must for anyone exploring JFK history. Highly recommend.Written November 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Tour23479801242United States4 contributionsVisiting the Mustangs of Las Colinas was a surprisingly moving experience for me. As I walked through the quiet plaza, I was struck by the sheer power and grace of the bronze mustangs. They seemed almost alive, caught in mid-gallop as they charged through the stream. The way the artist, Robert Glen, captured the wild spirit of these animals left me feeling connected to a sense of freedom and untamed beauty. It’s not just a sculpture; it’s a moment frozen in time that makes you pause and reflect. This spot quickly became one of my favorite hidden gems in Texas, perfect for anyone who appreciates art with a heartbeat.Written August 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Daniel DNashville, TN48 contributionsViews of the airport and aircraft coming and going were amazing. Nice location for aircraft spotting. Picnic tables if you want to bring a snack or sit and conversate.Written July 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DarcetteToronto, Canada93 contributionsThis is a super venue with good sound and friendly staff. Parking is easy and cost US$ 20. Entry was seamless and the kind ticketing agent printed me a hard copy for my collection. I really appreciated that! I was surprised that no bags were allowed beyond the size of a wristlet. Thankfully I only had a tiny bag because that was not clearly communicated beforehand. What if you took public transit or a cab and had a purse or knapsack?? I felt that was way too restrictive!
There is a huge bar area with easy access from the seating area and the sound is fairly good quality too. Washrooms are clean, big and bright. Drinks were actually more reasonably priced than in many bars.
There isn't a bad seat in the house. However I did wonder what "the lawn" area is. There is no lawn... Our seats were in the 100s on the aisle. Chairs were simply fold-ups so not very comfortable but we spent most of our time standing.
Overall, I'd see another concert here in heartbeat. Nice venue Irving!Written November 6, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lisa R3 contributionsThe museum and staff are amazing!
So much history and actual truth!
We showed up, not knowing what to expect and not knowing we needed an appointment. Elijah was so kind. He offered to give us a "quick" tour, even though he was in the middle of a meeting. We were in awe. Thank you, Elijah!
So much amazing information!
We could have spent an entire day there!
Everyone needs to experience this!Written May 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

On over 10 acres, the center boasts two performance halls (where every seat is a good one), meeting rooms, a sculpture garden, a main art gallery and multiple display areas for painting, sculpture and special exhibits including book illustrations, photography, Peruvian gold and much more. The center is an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution, making it possible to secure notable exhibitions from local, regional and national artists and institutions.
The center offers activities for all ages and engages with the community at large. This year, we have already seen the fabulous Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, The Mainstage production of "Intimate Apparel," and several art exhibits. The staff is always friendly and helpful and we look forward to returning.Written March 21, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Not necessarily by any city attractions or local color. Mostly a business neighborhood constructed for this purpose. Only a couple food venues available within the convention center and one was closed, causing a serious backup at the lunch hour. IT/AV staff was not available before my session, but intruded after it already began to make minor and obtrusive adjustments to the LCD projector and screen.Written April 15, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- anthonysheu7Chicago, IL135 contributionsI went on a Saturday afternoon/evening. I jogged on the trail portion just north of downtown, and the portion next to Trinity Park (under the Lancaster Avenue Bridge).
The north-of-downtown portion is nice and quiet, there weren't too many people there. There's a bike path and pedestrian path. Very beautiful views of the Forth Worth skyline, and especially nice because it is fall, and you can see the leaves changing color. There's a drive in theater along the trail, and also a nice brewery (Panther Island Brewing) if you get off the trail and walk for about 15 minutes. I parked for free elsewhere and walked to this park, but if you want to use the park's lot then you'll have to pay (not sure how much it is, I didn't look).
The Trinity Park/Lancaster avenue portion is a bit south downstream. Parking along the street is free. There's more people but it wasn't terribly crowded when I went. It's a great place to watch the sun set, and there's a very nice pedestrian bridge where you can get some good views. There's also a waterfall where you can climb down and get close to the water. Just be careful not to slip and fall. The only downside to going in the evening is that there's a bunch of gnats, so make sure to keep your mouth closed when biking/jogging and clean off your shirt before getting in your car so you don't have bug corpses all over your seat!Written November 16, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- KateielPatterson, CA97 contributionsThis is a very special worship space. It is a calm within the storm of busy Dallas. While it is plain, it is beautiful in its simplicity. Worship services are beautiful with the monks chanting.Written March 21, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- cloppyhorse6 contributionsIt's pretty, especially during seasonal events. They do put a lot of effort in to keep it looking great. If you want to stop and take pictures, park above in the lot for the Corner Bakery, Jimmy Johns, Chipotle, etc and make a lunch and photo op out of it. In winter in the evening, they expand the lighting to include the entire surrounding green space. Sort of a winter wonderland effect. Driving past it daily and I still find it spectacular at times.Written August 31, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
