I liked the stage and wished they had a band playing and I'd definitely line dance . We decided to order brisket, sausage, corn bread, Mac and cheese and hominy. They had 2 kinds of sauces available so we tried both and they were both great. The staff taking orders were all nice too. We really enjoyed the meal, I liked everything they served and the best one was the corn bread! So delicious...I especially loved the decor and ambiance of the restaurant. Wish I could be back but this was probably my last trip to Abilene since family will relocate to another State.

It's summer so the it's hard to manage but it is necessary because my husband had to swallow his food to avoid them and I was swatting flies the entire meal. The ambiance is nice and relaxing otherwise.

It is not enormous so keep your expectations of it being like a large amusement park realistic. It is a family run farm that has small, neat attractions for kids and teens. We did not experience any of the late night stuff like the haunted forest n such, but I am sure it is up to par with the rest of it. Our 1 year old really enjoyed the train ride. Only complaint I have would be that the hayride should have hay, because it doesn't.

It was decorated so beautifully with white lights all around on the inside but the vintage and antique feel is what made it a hidden gem. The bathrooms are so clean and designed well. This place is spacious and was able to accommodate a meet in greet, full buffet and then had another room for dining and a presentation. The staff who help serve us food were amazing. I give this place a 10/10. I'm not sure what else this space is used for but it would be amazing to host a wedding reception here as well or company event.

Looking for a wedding venue? There truly are not enough…read morewords to thank Thomas for everything he did for us during our wedding. From the moment we started working with him, we felt supported, cared for, and completely at ease. Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming at times, but Thomas had a way of making everything feel manageable and calm. On our wedding day, he was everywhere we needed him to be without us ever having to ask. He handled every detail with so much professionalism, kindness, and genuine care. Because of him, John and I were able to be fully present and soak in every moment instead of worrying about logistics. That is such a priceless gift on a day you can never get back. What stood out most was how much heart he put into his work. We never felt like "just another event." He truly cared about us, our families, and making sure our day was everything we hoped it would be. By the end of it all, Thomas didn't just feel like our venue coordinator -- he felt like part of the day itself and honestly became a friend. He danced with me and our guests, celebrated alongside us, and brought such a fun, positive energy to the entire evening. Looking back, I can honestly say I had the BEST team ever, and Thomas was such a huge part of that. We are beyond grateful for the role he played in one of the most important days of our lives. Thank you, Thomas, for helping create memories we will cherish forever.

It was a nice afternoon in Abilene when my girlfriend and I explored the historic Grace building…read moreand visited the Grace Museum. We got in a little after noon to see new exhibits that had genuinely just opened for the season that day. The museum is very quiet and, thanks to road construction, a little confusing to get to, but it is worth the drive and adventure. As we arrived, we noticed that a wedding was being set up in their courtyard and event space, and we were in awe of how cute the space was for a wedding. On the first floor was the Gail Norfleet collection, where we were amazed by these multi-layered plexiglass paintings that added depth to her floral pieces and recreated rooms. It is such a unique style. Gail's use of color is quite impressive. On the second floor sat the other two new exhibits. The first was Focus on Photography: Selections from the Permanent Collection, which includes a diverse and vast collection of still images printed on numerous materials such as gelatin, inkjet, tintype, and metal, giving each image a unique display. As a photographer myself, this was my favorite exhibit. My girlfriend's favorite was the Cindi Holt collection showcasing colorful, prairie-inspired pieces. Other areas included the play zone that has the tower challenge and the history exhibits on the third floor focusing on downtown Abilene and the Texas railway. I'm excited to return to the Grace Museum next time I'm in Abilene when new exhibits are on display. What a cute and small museum!
