A great event for Japanese lovers, Japanese people, and pretty much everyone else…read more All the little kids are so cute in their kimonos. People have the cutest dogs also. There are a lot games for kids, performances, snacks, shaved ice and food booths. The booths are from the most popular Japanese restaurants in the DFW like Jinbeh, Masami, Sushi Sake, Sushi Robata, Mr.Sushi, Teppo, and Yama Sushi. The food average around $5, but the portions are small. This is a free, one day event. It is open to the public. Tickets are required for food. Same location each year at some random parking lot on Midway, between 635 and Alpha. Plenty of parking spots. It's so hot every year and this is an outside event. I suggest having this event in the beginning of Oct. for better weather.

They have a floor for dinosaurs, birds, rocks, earth science, space, and probably a couple others that I'm missing. The coolest part to me was seeing the employees work on cutting out the bones from the rock. That part is a must see. There was no wait & it wasn't crowded when we got there around 11am on a Saturday. When we left though, there was a bit of a line for the tickets. Def recommend coming early. They have a cafe inside if you get hungry. There's also tons of other museums if you stay in the area after. I think it was about $40 for 2 people for this one.

It's cool how every floor has a different theme with so much to see. There is definitely something here for everyone & it does cater to all ages. It was kind of a bummer some areas were closed or not working. It does get a bit busy, I can't imagine how it would be if it was all ages when went but at times we were almost in a single file line as we were trying to go through all the items along the wall. For the first part at least, maybe because everyone was just so eager to see it all.

This was a fun little event that i found out about on Instagram. I think my favorite thing about…read morethis is that it was not overly crowded. I think they could have easily sold more tickets and packed people in but it would not have been enjoyable. I also liked that the price was super reasonable! Tickets were $25 each with free entry for kids. Entry comes with a free drink- alcoholic or not, stickers, and tattoos. They also gave a card with food/drink discounts to downtown restaurants and bars that can be used throughout the month of April. I will say they did a lot with a pretty small space. The fake flowers were actually beautiful. There were a few qr codes around for an interactive experience but i didnt really get it. I loved the swings and the bubble machines. Very cute. There were a couple benches and chairs throughout to sit in/take photos but they were pretty flimsy. Please get some sturdier stuff out there next time. I wish they had more food options. They had adult lunchables that were around $12 and not great. My cheese was suspect. I ate it bc i was hungry and there wasnt really other real food. Like they had popcorn and kale chips. Some kind of random snack things. The drinks were very sweet- alcoholic and nonalcoholic. The drinks were served very cute in the bottle and bag. There were others in normal cups as well. This place didnt have bathrooms, but you can access some across the street at the joule hotel. I wasnt sure if you could get back in after leaving, so make sure you use the bathroom first. Event ran 4/5-4/14 with a couple different entry options- we went to golden hour. It is sold out for this year. I want to add that originally i had tickets for Tuesday afternoon but they cancelled due to the forecasted weather and issued refunds immediately. For some reason my explanation email went to spam and the refund email went to my inbox. When i emailed them to see what was going on they were quick to respond and explain as well as to tell me to check my spam. For the original email- which i did and found it. They also opened some extra dates so we could still enjoy the experience. I thought this was excellent service. Overall i will say it was worth the $25 and was a fun experience- lots of photo ops but its definitely something i would do once and probably not again. Cool art installation

It's a wild feeling being at the corner window where history took place on the 6th floor, overlooking Dealey Plaza. You can see how everything was laid out visually for the moment in history to unfold. I think it's worth it to spend less than $30 bucks to come up and have that unique vantage point. It's an unfortunate event in American history, and it continues to live on as the tragedy that it was.

The exhibits give you a lot of information about JFK and the events surrounding his assassination, and being in the actual building makes it feel especially significant. The museum is self-guided, so you can take your time going through everything. That being said, the crowds were a bit much for us. We were the second group in line, but still ended up waiting quite a while to get upstairs. Once we got to the exhibit, there were so many people that it was difficult to comfortably stop and read everything without feeling like you were in everyone's way. I'd also say this probably isn't a great activity for younger kids. There's a lot of reading and historical information, and the subject matter is pretty serious. The museum does offer educational programs for school groups, but for a typical family visit, I think older kids/teens who are genuinely interested in history would get more out of it. Overall, definitely worth experiencing if you're interested in JFK history, but go in expecting crowds and a very serious, reading-heavy museum experience.

They began by learning about the seven elements of art in a clear and age appropriate way. After that, they created their own clay sculptures, which allowed them to apply what they had learned in a hands on and meaningful way. The highlight was when a docent guided the students through the galleries and taught them about different art pieces. The explanations were thoughtful, interactive, and kept the students genuinely interested. Our class left inspired, excited, and talking about art long after we left. This was an excellent educational experience, and I highly recommend the Meadows Museum for school field trips or anyone looking for a rich and memorable art experience.

I found the Christian altarpieces from the 1600's decorated with saints and demons intriguing - some of the demons are quite fanciful, think "Here there be monsters." I also enjoyed the portraits of European nobility. The security guards here are stern, but also very knowledgeable - it's worth striking up a conversation with them. There's a small gift shop on the first floor carrying all the typical things you might expect: burnt silk shawls, well-made children's toys of natural materials, jewelry, postcards and books. The museum is quite small, but still worth a visit - the SMU campus is beautifully maintained and adds to the tranquility and calm you will experience here.

The Dallas Art Museum is free for most of the museum, with special exhibits costing extra, but honestly there is plenty to see without spending a dime. They have Renoirs, Picassos, Monets, and so much more. The bathrooms are surprisingly very nice, the AC was absolutely on point, and it was not crowded when we visited. A perfect spot to get a little culture in between meals. Honestly, a must hit for out of town visitors looking for something fun to do that does not involve eating. Be sure to hit the gift store too, a museum gift shop is usually well curated, and this one is no exception! (though I will say the lady working the store had a sh:tty attitude)

Very impressed by libraries, museums, and construction on the business school.

I had missed turning into the parking lot across from the museum and went around the block. I'm so glad that I did.

The architecture is beautiful and stunning. I loved the status of horses and Blanton Student Services Building. I am always inspired when I set foot on any campus. I will always be a student at heart, but I need to put my money towards my food love for now instead of a PhD! (23)
