They have nearly every console and you can play almost all of them or at least something from each era. The giant pong game is an absolute must for geeks of all ages. I could spent another couple of hours in there if the lil one would have been willing. Your admission includes 4 tokes and you can play some classics and little known arcade games. This is not anything compared to Pinballz or Game Preserve, but it is a fun addition and we enjoyed it.

Otherwise, there's mostly reading about the history, static displays, and all the game systems for the past 50+ years. They also have a little shop. You can see everything in about 2 hours or less if you don't read everything. Great for kids but ultimately an adult or older child video gamer may find it more enjoyable as it's a museum versus a playground or play area.

I am SO glad I had the opportunity to visit the museum before it closed to the public. My grand daughter, who is almost 3, loves bugs more than dinosaurs and was thrilled seeing them all. She especially loved the collection of lady bugs in the back. It is such a beautiful place and wish I'd had been to visit during one of the story times.

Though I will temper that with the fact that they only played the same several things over and over again. A good chunk of the place were of zero interest to them. When you do engage with the staff, they are helpful and enthusiastic to help. But otherwise, it's difficult to tell if they even wanted to be there. We would visit again but only if it was free to go.

They have a great selection of exhibits from Frisco's rich heritage, along with writings from current authors, including the critically acclaimed Dallas Texas Children's Author Cindy J. Vanous. In addition to the exhibit including Vanous' work, there was also a soccer exhibit that kept up with contemporary times as well. One thing that I thought was really cool was that on the day we were there, the Swedish Men's World Cup Soccer Team was visiting the museum as well.

A young girl painted the western wall when you first walk in and it is quite impressive. There are model T cars and dummy models dressed up from the different eras - they were fabulous. There is a whole display about the Pullman Rail Road cars - loved seeing and learning about this one. There's a section for athletes, western stars from the early 20s, and special exhibits that are displayed until the end of September. Around the museum are old homes decked out with beautiful flowers. To enter them is every other weekend and today was not the day, so we will come back to walk into the homes. The whole experience is free. And there are many wonderful opportunities for selfies/pictures. This is a place you should come to visit if you're in the Frisco area. It's definitely worth it!

They've done a great job of developing the place where you can go and see what north Texas was in its unspoiled condition, as well as participating in organized activities.

The inside portion of the museum is an amazing model railroad that was built by a local oil and gas barron as a family collection that upon his death the family gave to the museum. If is wonderful that it has found a home because it is amazing and it would be sad if if was lost or sold off in parts. Be sure to ask the staff to tell you all about the parts of the model railroad, because each part represents a different portion of Texas, New Mexico or Arizona. There are do many hidden details in the model that you really need to take a couple of walks through it to catch some of the finer hidden figures. They do have a sheet with a scavenger hunt on it to help you know what you should be looking for. I was lucky and got there just in time to pay a little extra and go out and see the rolling stock. The museum has a great vision for what it will be in the future but they are still building, but making significant progress. On the tour, we got to walk through 2 Pullman cars, and climb up into the engineer's seat of one of the steam locomotives. The rest of the tour was walking amongst the tracks and looking at the cars from the outside. Our tour guide was very nice and seemed very knowledgable, but spent a lot of time speaking about draining and ongoing construction plans. I would have preferred even more about the trains. It will be interesting to watch this museum grow. Money will be the key to their growth, so if you want to have a neat experience give them some encouragement by visiting and help them raise their visitation numbers so that they can apply for more grants and continue to build on their vision.
