Incredible experience honoring those who served our country in the military. Thank you for the…read moresacrifice you made on our behalf. Freedom isn't free. There were plaques for each war celebrating those who served. Also, there were displays of a helicopter, a jet, a tank, and a torpedo to name a few. Please head out there to see what you are missing. You won't be disappointed! I was extremely pleased!

I am a disabled Veteran who was an Army Paratrooper, My name is listed on these walls twice, and I…read moregrew up here.. so let that be known now as my review will contain some bias. While I served overseas my family and I helped have this Memorial and Honor sanctuary be built by donating what we could. This area of Southeast Texas started this project before it was nationally popular thing to be patriotic. They started building this place out of the respect of the community and the veterans that help this country everyday. Personally, I am honored to be listed among so many heroes. Personally, I am proud of the Veteran that lives on the site to protect it daily since some years back a bunch of local kids vandalized the place and tore up the grounds. Yes, they were caught and truly ridiculed by the community and they served their judicial sentence given; but the harm was done, and once again a Veteran stepped up to stand guard with honor over this local landmark. If you spend any amount of time out there you will learn many things and meet Veterans from many areas that travel here to see their friends and other tokens of memories gone by. If you spend enough time here, you will learn that the gentleman guarding the area served on a transport vessel... if you talk to him further you will learn that he manned the Anti-Aircraft gun on that vessel... and if you hold the conversation long enough he will show you a picture of that vessel he served on and point to the ACTUAL AA GUN from that vessel sitting right near the building and ceremony area. (how cool is that?) I have taken many pictures of this area, and this review is long over due, so please spend a moment to go here and respect the care and love that has been placed into building this area. It may seem tattered and weather beaten, but remember that the site has remained through many Hurricanes and floods, weather beaten winters and winds, and honestly.. as a Veteran... I would not want it any other way; spit shine and polish is saved for the parades, the weather distressed monuments attest to the true Veterans that make these places memorable and how they will never go away. God Bless ALL of our Veterans.. and God Bless the United States of America... "This We'll Defend"[U.S. Army Motto]

FYI: in principle this is currently only half a bridge; the neighboring Memorial Bridge, a cable stayed design that is not entirely loathsome, takes traffic the other way over a 143-foot rise.

I love music, sports and history - so the Museum of the Gulf Coast was a perfect place to spend…read moreseveral hours on a rainy day in Port Arthur. The museum is part of the overall Port Arthur downtown revitalization program, and is a key lynchpin. This modern facility has two stories, with the lower story dedicated primarily to the history of the Gulf Coast Region - while the second story is broken down into specific sections of interest like music, art and sports. The collections are impressive and the staff amazingly friendly and helpful. Overall, this place is well worth your time.

Surprising place for such a small town. My biggest complaint is the building is not large enough to…read morehandle all its interesting artifacts and exhibits. (They rotate so you can come back and find new exhibits) Ive been there 4-5 times. Port Arthur is the birthplace of Texaco and Gulf Oil and the museum covers the history and science. Southeast Texas and West Louisiana are also the birthplace of swamp pop and there is a surprising amount of informative exhibits. I cant begin to name the artists, blues, cajun, creole, rock & roll....of course that includes Janis. Then there is the coastal and marsh exhibits including how and why there is much oil and gas. There are loads of ancient indian and fossil artifacts. With all the above, plus the exhibits on sports (3 NFL coaches) actors and celebrities from the area, you can spend all day. This review barely scratched the surface.

A huge thank-you to Paige for taking the time to answer all of our questions about the reptiles and for helping us relax enough to hold a snake for the first time in our lives. She mentioned it was only her first week on the job, and I have to say--Gator Country made a great hire. We're so glad we got to meet such a sweet person!

We saw the noon feeding show and it was pretty cool. Workers were helpful, as we had the pass where we could wade in the water with the gators .

I have seen two movies here, both of them being 3d and have not noticed the damage that others have seen. I might have walked in with my eyes closed but all I can say is the theater does appear small from the outside and no notable odors coming from anywhere except from the popcorn machine. One might feel that this is a sub standard theatre if you've been spoiled to the likes of the Silverado's and Tinsletowns but it's perfect if you dwell close by and do not want to drive into the other town. One thing I can say is at least it's better than the dollar theaters, you do however pay full price for something that is a little outdated. If you can contain yourself for 20 minutes and want better experiences then there is Tinsletown on I 10 as well as Hollywood Theaters by Parkdale Mall. It's $11 for a bucket of popcorn *ouch*, $6 for a large soda *ouch* and $11 for an adult priced 3d ticket *kind of ouch* but your local dollar store across the highway can help you with certain unwanted items brought in if you know what I mean *wink wink*. The staff on both occasions did not appear rude however but did not jump up and down for joy as they greet you, at least they don't show the "I'd rather be somewhere else" blues but don't expect a thank you, enjoy your movie" spiel either. Parking is.....well it's attached to the mall so you know how the parking is. Back up a little, since this mall is almost a ghost town you will NEVER have problems with parking. The restrooms do not have paper and things thrown all over the place but it is kind of hard to mess up if you don't have that many patrons to do it in the first place, not a bad thing if you are the one that is delegated to clean these. Climate is comfortable, not too hot, not too cold inside.

Dear Movie Theater owners,…read more I went to see Transporter tonight and a few movie goers showed up and did not pay. They were MICE. Yes, you read correctly MICE. I sat down and the movie started then I saw something out the corner of my eye come towards me on the floor. I moved further up just in case and one was sitting in the aisle by my current seat so I picked my feet up. Then 20 mins into the movie another was sitting on the steps. Just sitting there. I tried to record it but it was too dark. Did not want to take a picture because the flash would have gone off and I did not want to disturb anyone. Just an FYI they were babies which mean mom and pops were not far away. Disgusting. I think it is time to suck it up and drive to BMT. Good luck!
