- BillieBCrown Point, IN134 contributionsLooking for something to do and decided to visit the Mustang sculptures they are definitely a sight to see and worth the visit. I can’t imagine the time and work that went into creating the sculptures and the process in flying them from England once they were made.
You can walk around the sculptures, down around and through the fountains.
Would have liked to have gone through the museum to see the other inside sculptures and the exact process in make them but it was closed when we were there.Written April 4, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Though not so close to the actions, the frequency of flights and variety of aircrafts were interesting. Founder's Plaza was very family friendly. Plenty of parking. We've been plane spotting at several airports around the world, and this is one of the best.Written October 20, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ronald NGranger142 contributionsA comfortable venue for smaller conventions and business gatherings, surrounded by hotels and restaurants, making it convenient for a 2-3 day event. 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.

- C2842LGkarenrDallas, TX11 contributionsThe Irving Arts Center truly has something for everyone. 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.

The attention to detail is impressive. As children of the 60s, my husband and I found much about the house and its contents familiar. Our guide, Kevin, was a wealth of knowledge about the home and family and their place in history. We highly recommend this tour.Written March 24, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Rick CIrving, TX472 contributionsThis is a great place for a walk in Irving, with some shops. The canal makes it quaint and it looks like the River Walk in San Antonio in some places.
The area is quiet especially on a Sunday, and there are several places to get a bite to eat after walking around the full length.Written November 14, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

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.

- anthonysheu7Chicago, IL136 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.

Great seats, free parking, always a good program. Austin schedules some of the pieces that are new to me instead of just all old chestnuts, and introduces each one - giving me extra information and a clue as to what to listen for. First class concerts!Written June 1, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- DarcetteToronto, Canada111 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.

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.

- Ravichandran KDallas, TX48 contributionsI went there and it was very peaceful and full of energy. Maharaj's journey was also depicted in various pictures. they also have a food place - snacks for sale.Written August 6, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MissDiva715Coppell, TX159 contributionsGreat for small children. Only open June & July. Animals at zoo: peacocks, miniature horses, a donkey, turkey, large rabbits, a cow & chickens. Great shaded park in walking distance for the children to play & family relax.Written June 28, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bill OIrving, Texas177 contributionsIrving is dotted with great parks, and for some reason this one seems to be overlooked. There is tons of parking, lots of things for kids AND for adults to do, and plenty of space for you to enjoy!Written July 16, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tirzah DArlington, TX686 contributionsWhat I really loved about this park was all the ducks, ducklings, geese, and other birds that surrounded the water. They were so cute to watch.
This is a really nice park besides the trash in the water. The walking trail isn't as long as other parks I have been too but it is a beautiful view as you walk. There is also a playground, baskball court, and a spray park for the summer months.Written October 10, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
