The projectors covered the walls with beautiful images in all three rooms. We opted for the VIP packages and wasted another $370 above and beyond the cost. Thru were pretty lace about monitoring and we would have been much better off. Overall, it was a pretty good experience, visually compelling, a beautiful entry way, a nice gift shop and amazing staff.

HOW FUN! ...and what a great way to make a lasting memory…read more It was over 100 degrees so we opted for some indoor fun on this weekend afternoon. We brought the whole family and painted some porcelain pieces - they have a huge selection to choose from, plates, cups, goblets, figurines and more. Sheila explained the process, helped get our paints and brushes and showed us all the templates that were available. She was super friendly and helpful. While we were there they were getting ready for a birthday party and they do such an amazing job that this is where our next birthday party will be. See y'all again real soon!

I'm usually not a fan of coop spaces. However,this is a good one for several reasons…read more Just off the square in downtown McKinney,the last art gallery is a shared space supporting local artists. There are individual booths set up as studios where artists work making, sculpture, jewelry, painting etc The old turn of the century building is set up to display the produced art of these and other local artists. As a result there is a Huge variety of artistic styles to choose from. Also,all of the art I saw was priced right. Usually one of the things you find in these types of cooperative shops is overpriced work. Not here. The other thing that stands out is the quality of work. It's all pretty good. Again,in a lot of places,displayed work is average at best I'd say this is a great place to add to your list of " finds" if you're looking for art. Go!

Highlights for me were the Orson Welles' car, the story of his War of the Worlds radio broadcast, old Bibles, flintlocks, spears, and Hollywood props. When we thought the tour was almost over Stephanie led us into the vault - where many of the more sensitive relics are stored. At one point Glenn Beck even stepped into the vault to say, "Hi." Our tour took 1 hour 45 minutes! It was a wonderful experience.

I didn't get an opportunity to speak to any of the volunteers today but I did walk through the area while my friend explained the history she knew about (the homes and the outhouses).

You can visit church and 2 homes. They were build I believe around 1890-1920 and moved to this area to be preserved and taken care of. Each building had several ladies that go with you and talk about olden days, furniture and how people used to live in these houses.I think these ladies are volunteers. Thank you for very interesting time.

Nope, just a small mall light display. It was super underwhelming. It did not even remotely live up to the hype. I couldn't even find the carriage rides but the light display was so disappointing we didn't even really bother to stop and park or look for it. It is pretty if you're shopping there, but not worth going out of your way to see. We drove a distance for this and it was super disappointing.

[Yelp 365 in 2014 Challenge - 355:365]…read more Christmas in the Square (sponsored by the Frisco Square Property Owner Association) is celebrating its 10th year!! Showcases by far one of the biggest and best light and music installations I've ever seen, as well as offers all the Christmas activities and treats a person - be it man, woman, child, or a perpetual female child like myself could ever desire! So. Much. Fun. Certainly very family friendly, but just as amazing for some romantic time for two. Of course the first thing you notice are the lights and music. Tune your radio to 107.3FM and take a slow drive through the "Winter Wonderland" that is Christmas in the Square. A mind-blowing 175,000+ (no, that was not a typo) lights with choreographed tunes (yes, you will probably here Mariah - they change it up a bit each year, but "All I want for Christmas is youoooo" is pretty much a staple)! If that wasn't enough to knock your socks off, park (yup, it can be tricky) and enjoy the rest of the fun. Of course there is a tree farm (yawn), peruse the shops for special seasonal goodies, slide down the "slopes" with a little snow "tubing," enjoy a hourse-drawn sleigh rides for 6 bucks a pop (p/p), check out Good Ole St. Nic and maybe take some pics, take your chances on the outdoor ice skating rink, and frolic in the SNOW. Yes, snow! Blowing throughout and covering the sidewalks - even during the warmest of North Texas winters. About 665,000 attend Christmas in the Square annually...and I'm so happy I've had the chance to be one of them so many times...because it's one of a kind, inexpensive and filled with holiday spirit. If I haven't "sold' you enough already by writing this review then BAH HUMBUG to you! You must be a SCROOGE! Tips: *Events are from 6-10pm nightly; closed on Christmas; this year from Nov 28 through Jan 3. **They have "special" events on some nights, like when Santa skydives in!...so be sure to check their online calendar.
