    What a hidden gem inside of the park! We have been to the park many times and never knew this was a museum. Super friendly staff and knowledgeable. Very good with kids. Great part of history!

    We loved our visit to this charming little museum! We came on a sunny Saturday afternoon and we were immediately greeted by a very friendly docent, who offered to give us a tour of the place. He started with the train car located outside, which was a great trip to the past. We got to see how back of the car was reserved for the post office, and how segregation affected the set-up of the train car. It was so great to walk through that old car while listening to the guide tell us all about its history of traveling all around the DFW area (even down into Waco!) After the tour of the train car, we went back into the museum to explore. It was a wealth of information, with plenty of awesome hands-on exhibits that are great for kids and adults alike. You can see how electricity for the trains is created, learn all about it first hand! My boyfriend said he actually found this little museum more interesting and informative than the Perot! On our way out, we left $5 in the donation jar, even though the museum is free. There's a $2 suggested donation per person, but they don't demand it at all. We simply felt that, after we spent so long there enjoying ourselves, we wanted to contribute!

    railway museum train on display, free tour inside

    This railway museum is free, cute, and small. It is well-maintained and gives you the history behind the local railways in a fun and interactive way. Nice spot for a quick visit.

    What a great way to spend as an afternoon with the kids. The museum is located next to Haggard Park so you can go see and learn some pretty neat history, and then enjoy the park and the great downtown area. The museum itself is wonderful. We were able to tour and get on the actual train and then head inside and tour the actual museum. My kids enjoyed the model train. We will be back for story time on Fridays. The folks working there were awesome as well, very informative and friendly. Looking forward to our return.

    This museum is an interesting counter-point to the DART station next door. We had interurban transportation as far north as Sherman (the old rail line was close to home) and then we got rid of it.

    I visited Southfork Ranch as part of a work group outing and honestly had no idea what to expect…read morebut I left genuinely impressed and entertained. This place is a legitimate piece of American pop culture history, and they do a great job bringing it to life. The guided tour takes you inside the actual ranch house, and it's more immersive than you'd think. The formal dining room with its crystal chandeliers, the bold red kitchen, the grand foyer staircase -- it's all right there, frozen in time like the Ewing family just stepped out for a moment. And yes, they have the room where JR was shot, complete with a chalk outline and crime scene markers. Campy? A little. Fun? Absolutely. Outside, the grounds are beautiful. White fences, open pastures, friendly animals wandering around with the iconic ranch house as the backdrop. There's also JR's silver Lincoln Continental on display in the museum, along with memorabilia and history from the show. Fair warning: this is a deeply generational experience. My older colleagues were absolutely in their element while some of the younger folks in our group needed a little context. But even without being a die-hard Dallas fan, there's enough to see and appreciate that everyone ended up having a good time. Great group outing, unique Dallas experience. If you're in the area, it's absolutely worth a visit.

    As a longtime fan of the TV show Dallas, I had been looking forward to visiting Southfork Ranch for…read moreyears. Growing up in Europe, we watched the show later than audiences in the U.S., but I never missed an episode and absolutely loved following the Ewings' story. So when I had the chance to travel through Texas, visiting Southfork was at the top of my list. The visit exceeded my expectations. The ranch is perfectly set up for visitors - from the guided tour of the house, which is preserved and decorated exactly like it appeared in the show, to all the little details, including the cars the Ewing family used. Our guide gave a fascinating talk about the history of filming, the ranch's rental process, and behind-the-scenes stories that really brought the show to life. We also got to walk around the ranch, see the small horses or ponies, and browse a tiny gift shop. It was amazing to experience in person something I'd watched on TV for so many years - and on the other side of the continent, no less! The whole experience was nostalgic, charming, and genuinely fun. If you love Dallas or just want to see an iconic TV ranch in real life, Southfork is absolutely worth the visit.
