Such a cool concept. An old high school that's been converted to a marketplace with a variety of shops, eateries, and entertainment offerings. There's a bar and a small arcade. A restaurant in the old music building and another in the old gym locker room area. You can find a listing of vendors on their website. It seems like a nice variety. Twice every month (every 1st and 3rd Saturday) they do a market days event where additional vendors set up their tables in the hallway selling anything from baked goods to antiques. You can find their schedule and info on Instagram (@taylormarketdays). Multiple parking areas surrounding the buildings. The shops are in the main (two-story) building and the restaurants are next door. Awesome experience even if you don't buy anything. Just running your hands along the old lockers and peeking into the old defunct auditorium is a thrill!

The Taylor Mansion was everything we had imagined for our big day and more. The grounds were well maintained and everything was in full bloom. A few reasons why we picked The Taylor Mansion: 1. The location, its in the city but felt like the country. 2. The crystal ballroom, a beautiful well air conditioned room that had the elegance we were looking for. 3. The endless photo opportunities, the house and grounds have multiple areas for perfect wedding photos. 4. The owners, Lindsey and Robert! They were there to answer any questions and advise us throughout the whole experience. You can tell this is their passion. They are helpful and kind venue owners who went beyond our expectations and helped make our day truly magical! We can't say enough great things about The Taylor Mansion, will definitely recommend to others. Thank you for a once in a lifetime beautiful experience, we are 5+ stars happy!!!

The Jumbotron at the end of the arena was great for watching replays and didn't appear to have any broken/missing lights. Overall, this is a great place to catch a livestock show, rodeo, or concert!

During the Neal McCoy show, 1/3 of the dance floor was taken up by people standing and drinking. This was once an amazing dance hall, now it's just another place to charge folks high prices to listen to music.

Absolutely incredible weekend at Blue Hills Ranch. We were fortunate to stay in the stunning…read moreGiraffe Villa... a hefty price, but worth it if you can afford it. The Giraffe barn is attached to one side of the house, and their pasture is on the other side. It is the most fabulous "Barndominium" with incredible finishes and clearly thoughtfully designed. That experience alone was mind-blowing.... however we also had the Gold Packages and were able to experience everything the ranch had to offer! Zebras, Capybaras, Kangaroos, Otters, Deer, Homer the Dromedary!!! Everywhere you turned there were more animals and more experiences offered. My children and I were in absolute animal heaven and will be thrilled to return. I will say, our vacation was expensive and it did not disappoint. However, I do believe you can absolutely visit this ranch on a budget.... Probably one of the best experiences was their ranch safari and that is a nominal price and totally worth it! You can see the entire property and all of the animals on the safari trip. Additionally they have fantastic cabins that are themed, and if you have children under the age of 10, the pirate themed cabins are beyond your wildest imagination.... as far as I am aware all of the sleeping accommodations include kitchens so you can absolutely cook for your family instead of paying for the delicious ranch food. That said... Chef Alan is phenomenal and out of this world excellent chef. Each meal was made with love and artistry. The staff at Blue Hills Ranch all go above and beyond to create lasting memories for you. I absolutely recommend this experience as a NOT TO BE MISSED event! We are already planning a return in October/November depending on availability . Cannot wait. Looking forward to being among these amazing staff members (shout-out to Jen, Anne, Shelby, Emily, Chesney, Alan...) the guard dogs, and all of the incredible exotic animals. Thank you, Matt!

The entire staff was absolutely amazing--so accommodating, personable, welcoming, and attentive to every detail. The chef was incredible! Not only was the food delicious, but he was also so personable. He would come out and sit with us, talk with us, and make sure we were happy with everything. That personal touch made the experience even more special. The staff truly went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I had one of the most memorable weekends of our lives. We felt genuinely cared for throughout our entire stay. I cannot recommend this ranch enough. If you're looking for a special getaway with wonderful people, amazing food, and exceptional hospitality, this is the place. We had such an incredible experience and will definitely be back!

5 Stars for a truly beautiful event venue that is filled with white brick, gorgeous wood floors,…read moreelegant spaces, and lots of light! I had the opportunity to attend a wedding at One Eleven East recently and was blown away by this venue. It lent itself beautifully to a 2020 wedding- with such an open, airy aesthetic that you feel compelled to throw up a pic on your IG because you're suddenly at 'influencer-level gorgeous' standing against these white bricks with that fabulous golden-hour lighting. Let's talk about logistics. As a guest, Hutto is definitely not right near Austin, but the Lyft ride wasn't bad at all and the wedding had set up a shuttle bus to get folks to the Austin hotel after the wedding. I'm not sure how many Lyfts or Ubers you'd find if you went searching at 11pm, so the shuttle back was a big plus. The venue itself had two large spaces (one presumably for the ceremony and the other for dinner), with a bar space and an outdoor area (cocktail hour vibes). I didn't see a kitchen, but this wedding had dinner set up as a buffet in the now-empty ceremony room, catered by a BBQ food truck out back. There's an upstairs area for the bridal party to get ready, which presumably has a bathroom (I didn't get up there. I was a +1). The bathroom sitch for guests included a women's room with a couple of stalls and shared sink/mirror space and one single men's room (which caused a bit of a line, but not terrible). Overall, if I was an Auton...ite? Austonian? Anyway, if I lived in Austin, I would absolutely consider this venue. It's minimalist, historic vibe allows you to forgo the unpleasant hotel ballroom pipe-and-drape decor, and you can add a few bits of greenery and call it a day with decor. FABULOUS!
