They were super responsive via email, I really like not having to get on the phone for every detail that comes up. As any event coordinator will tell you, the best feeling in the world is when you show up early to start setting up the event and the people you have contracted are already there and ready to go. The dealers were fun and silly, just what you are looking for to make your card novice guests feel comfortable. Thanks guys! We will see you again.

Basically, you pay a membership fee to play and since I wasn't playing, I also had to pay a membership fee of $10 (good for the whole year) to be in the building - thank God they had a snack bar for me to sit at because the place was packed with a tournament. The girls at the bar were very nice. Soft drinks and coffee are complimentary and they have snacks like chips and crackers for $2 and candy bars for $2-$3. It looked like they could also have meals brought in if you were planning to spend several hours there. We came during the day and spent 1-2 hours and then came back later that evening when the crowds cleared out. I was getting tired and a lady helped me find a more comfortable area to sit in and even changed the channel on one of the TV's so I could watch a movie while my bf played which I thought was really thoughtful. Bathrooms were super clean and they also have free tampons and maxi pads which is a nice touch as it encourages women to come and play too and feel welcomed.

My family and I visited Strike & Reel for a family night out to see the new Minions movie, and we…read morehad a really good time. The theater seats were comfortable, which made the movie even more enjoyable. We also ordered food during our visit. For anyone wondering about pricing, we spent about $70 on two kids' meals, lemon pepper wings, pretzel bites, a mocktail, and a bottled water, so that gives you an idea of what to expect. After the movie, we took the kids to the arcade, which was a fun way to end the night. If you're getting a new arcade card, just know there's a $2 activation fee. Overall, we had a great experience. The menu is fairly simple, but everything we ordered was good, and the atmosphere was family friendly. We didn't get a chance to try the bowling alley this time, but it's definitely on our list for our next visit. I'd recommend Strike & Reel if you're looking for a fun place for a family movie night with a little extra entertainment.

We went here for a staycation and really enjoyed ourselves as usual. Gaylord is one of my favorite…read morehotels in the Dallas metroplex. The resort is gorgeous inside. Upon entering, the outside pressures and stresses dissipate. The vibe is pure relaxation. The water features are my favorite and I always find time to sit by the river and contemplate life when I am there. I feel as if I've been transported someplace completely different. This time, Sept 2026, we were upgraded to an executive suite in the Vineyard section of the hotel. It has been recently renovated and although we did not see big differences, the rooms are clean and the views of the lake and outward from there are wonderful. The room was large and well maintained. The suite came with a king bed and a sofa bed. Both were comfortable. The pillows were comfortable. The room was quiet. Overall, it was a great experience. I don't really get why the hotel has a 3 star rating. I acknowledge that check in can be slow, even in the elite line, but the resort gets really busy and the representatives have been friendly and helpful based on our experiences. We will return for sure.

Stayed at the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center for just one night while attending a…read moreconvention. The location is very convenient to DFW Airport, although unfortunately they don't offer an airport shuttle, so plan on taking an Uber or Lyft. Check-in was a breeze. I have Marriott status and was upgraded to a beautiful suite with a separate living room and dining area, which was a very nice surprise. The room itself was a little dated, but it was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The lobby, atrium, and grounds are gorgeous and definitely give the property more of a resort feel than a typical convention hotel. I didn't have a chance to try any of the restaurants during my stay, so I can't comment on the food. The staff was also a highlight. Everyone I encountered was outgoing, friendly, and welcoming. Overall, a very nice stay and a great option if you're attending a convention or need to be near DFW. The lack of an airport shuttle and somewhat dated rooms keep it from being a 5-star experience for me, but I'd happily stay here again.

First time was at Build a Bear. My wife can be all over the place and in the build a bear Kayla was patient, extremely helpful and friendly. She nade the process an experience. We were able to be helped again in the giftshop and again she went above and beyond to give us exceptional service and a wonderful experience. She mentioned she may she come to California (where we live)in the future..I hope California treats her as well as she treated us. Thank you again

Lots of changes for sure, but in a good way. The activities in the main hall were so much fun, family games, dance party, stories, yoga we did it all and had SO much fun. The indoor waterpark was perfect, we have two pale gingers and the ability to have fun and not have to worry about a sunburn is a game changer. The ages of children for our group were 5, 7 and 9. There was something for everyone. Our favorites are the HUGE bucket dump, the wave pool and the lazy river. However the slides are all super fun. The youngest very much enjoyed the smaller play area. Highly recommend renting a cabana, I find that just makes the organization of the day much easier. We had wonderful cabana service. For our trip we did the Miner's dig, Laser Tag, Ice Cream, Build a Bear and the arcade-all due to the Wolf Pass we included. (Great value) The absolute family favorite 17 years ago and now, was the Magiquest. It is such a family fun event. We had great encounters will all the staff, in restaurant, waterpark, hotel, gift shops, everyone was kind and helpful. I always make sure to go in the app and compliment each person after our experiences-I recommend doing this. While there were lots of good, there were some challenges, which keep this from a five star from me. The app is ok, but not really helpful unless you want to see upcoming events. I didn't find I used it that much. The one function I did use was the Chat which helped. Two main issues I still have with GWL 1.) The elevators, you are going to wait and eventually find its easier to get on what ever lands whether it's going up or down just to start moving. 2.) The cleanliness of the elevators-rough 3.) When you arrive there is not valet, and if you are a solo adult, it's hard to navigate pulling up, unloading, securing your items and littles-and figuring out parking. There needs to be a better system for this, and bigger carts lol. Once I got littles situated, I had to navigate parking, it was so full I ended up parking at the very back of the parking lot, it was quite a trek on a very hot day. For checking in, we used the kiosk-and had to get assistance, and then more assistance as we had wolf passes, splash pass, and the kiosk wasn't scanning correctly. It took a bit but we got it worked out. A little frustrating, as two days before check-in I received an email to pre-check-which being a solo adult with three littles that would have been nice. The function however never worked, I tried multiple times. Thankfully our room was immediately ready and we were able to go up and change and start playing. Even if your room isn't ready they have great options for you to enjoy while it's prepared. While the lodge has had many updates, I still think it has room to go to navigate the scale and crowd it sees on a daily basis. On to the food, I recognize many of the quick serves, are just that fast food. The pretzel and hot dog places are quick and not bad. The pizza isn't horrible, but over priced. The restaurant was meh at best. The buffets were disappointing, not a huge selection and quality of food just was not worth the price. I see a lot of folks recommending eating elsewhere, aside from the convenience I have to agree. The value and flavor are just not there. We did not go outside so I cannot speak to that. Our room was clean, however multiple outlets did not work, the shower struggled, and our lights flickered a bit. Nothing we couldn't manage, but for the price I would expect better. We did the wolf den, the kiddos loved the little nook and said the beds were comfy. The pull out couch took an act of congress to pull out, but once out worked as designed. We could not get it to go back in so had to leave it out for the duration of our stay. Housekeeping was very kind and generous, GWL has a great team of humans for sure. I probably won't wait another 17 years to return, but I might rethink staying onsite, if we do, we will definitely make different food choices.
