An amazing experience for those who appreciate an unprecedented combination of adventure, mystery, modern art, and storytelling. Any age can enjoy it, as it includes everything from "touchables" for littles to elevators for the disabled. read more

I have been wanting to go to Meow Wolf for a while. We finally decided to check it out, and I am glad that we did. One of my sons loves art and couldn't wait to walk around this interactive museum. I thought I was bringing my boys to admire the art and to have a good time, but I too had a very enjoyable experience. We visited on a Thursday, a little after noon. It was not too busy at the time, so we were able to truly enjoy the experience without a crowd of people. When we first walked in, we were surprised to find an entire house behind the door. That was the first of the surprises Meow Wolf held. I will not spoil all of the surprises here, but I must say that we were pleasantly surprised as we went through the exhibit. I could tell a lot of work went into making the various rooms and art in the rooms, and I commend the artists' creativity and downright ingenuity. It is true that everything won't appeal to everyone, and I do not know anyone who likes all music that comes on the radio, all art in a museum, or all books that are in a bookstore. The things that we liked, we savored, and the things that we did not like (which wasn't much), were ignored. As I made my way through some of the exhibits, I felt like a child in Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. The colors were so vivid, and the art in some areas just seemed to pop off the wall. My sons love having the ability to touch and interact with the art and not just look at it. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and are already planning our return. read more

I definitely enjoyed it! I have gone to the Santa Fe one about 7 years ago and could do the whole thing because of the altitude and all the lights. Great spot if you are into adult playgrounds lol. I went Saturday morning hoping to beat the crowds. It was good but then could tell that it got packed not too much time later. I believe my friend and I saw everything but we didn't get a chance to interact with a lot of the clues but still had a great time. I think we stayed about 2 hours. Great photo ops as well!! Grab your bestie and have a little photoshoot! I got the year pass because I wanted to go when people visit in town and having a great time randomly. Looking forward to the adult nights. The gift shop had so many cute things, a bit overpriced but souvenirs for all wallet sizes. read more

My boyfriend and I came here recently. The staff are upbeat and added to the pleasant experience. We split churros and I had the huckleberry soda which was delicious. I appreciate how eccentric and the abstract themes throughout the experience. The garden and the house were some of my favorite parts of Meow Wolf. Meow Wolf manages to have bright colors while maintaining a peaceful atmosphere. We had a good time and I would definitely go again. read more

Once again, Meow Wolf made an incredible spot to visit. This was my third Meow Wolf experience center (also visited Denver and Las Vegas) and I still think they are a 10/10. The creativity and imagination are SO GOOD and we love how helpful the staff are. This is perfect for those looking to explore, someone who loves a hidden room or a mystery book. The experience combines a ghost story, artwork, music, exploration and so much more. I noticed way more kids at this location than I did at the Vegas or Denver spot, and perhaps it was just timing, but I did feel it wasn't scary for kids. Being in the Grapevine Mall also probably caused more families to visit. It wasn't a negative to our experience, just something to note for other families who are interested. read more

What happens when you put a lot of creative minds together, then they drop slips of paper in a hat and draw two? Meow Wolf! Founded in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Meow Wolf is a very surreal artistic adventure. In Dallas/Grapevine, Meow Wolf The Real Unreal is a house gone a bit crazy. After entering the front yard, you can experience an outer worldly immersive adventure that is hard to describe, but fun to photograph. Love the colors. So much to see. My favorite rooms were the camper/RV and the Neon Glowquarium. Although I couldn't follow the story, if there actually was one, it was nice to go from room to room in the two story mid century modern home looking for Jared. I never found him, but it was still fun. Bought a Portal Pass Supreme in Las Vegas. This gives access to all the Meow Wolf locations. Houston. Grapevine. Santa Fe. Denver. Las Vegas. As well as future locations in Los Angeles with no blackout dates. Three locations explored. More to come. read more

I took a friend here for his birthday and it was a unique experience.. it was both of our first times visiting any of the meow wolfs.. I liked some of the art and cool hidden rooms but for the weekend price point ($50 a person) and for how crowded it was, it was hard to truly enjoy anything without feeling cramped. Maybe people like it for the hidden bar and maybe they have yearly passes or something? I'm not sure but I personally found it a little underwhelming and over hyped. read more

The Real Unreal - Meow Wolf - Art Museums Near Me - Grapevine, Texas

My family and I decided to visit Meow Wolf when in the area. We bought our tickets online in advance. We parked and walked in. This experience was labeled as The Real Unreal. After waiting in line at the check-in and going through a metal detector we were directed to a waiting room where a friendly employee explained that there was a mysterious story that you could try to figure out or you could just explore. Then they led us into the room to start exploring at our own pace. It was a really cool experience and full of creatively fun art. It was definitely an out of this world experience. After spending a few hours exploring we briefly visited the souvenir shop. We didn't get anything but they do have a variety of things to purchase. Overall The Real Unreal Meow Wolf is worth a visit if you like hands on experiences with a mysterious story that you can try to figure out while enjoying the creative art work. read more

I am quite sure you will have a five-star experience if you have not already been to the Santa Fe flagship one. But, if you have, this is like Weezer covering Africa. Totally underwhelming, unnecessary, and nothing new. Still, we spent 90 minutes, and, to be fair, we wondered if Meow Wolf is like heroin, and fans try to get that "first hit" feeling that will never come. But, to borrow from my Santa Fe review: Meow Wolf is the love child of a Choose Your Own Adventure Picture Book mixed with a carnival funhouse maze, and is to art what food trucks are to food. read more

It's spring break and I told my granddaughter I would take her somewhere special - I chose Meow Wolf. I was a little nervous bringing here to this place, but she REALLY enjoyed it. We didn't do the scavenger hunt, and we basically went through it on our own, but the story is about a boy and his dreams. You walk through the chimney and all of a sudden you're in what feels like a nightmare - but not too spooky. This was done really well. It's creative. Interesting. But having done it once, I don't feel the need to go back. The pictures will tell the story for me. read more

Please don't waste your hard earned money visiting this place. I paid $96 for a child and adult, and we ended leaving after 15 mins. The decor was incredible but trying to find the clues was confusing and not enjoyable. If you are bringing anyone that is older, they will have difficult time walking through certain areas. Food was overpriced as well. read more

Absolutely amazing experience. I was nervous going in, not sure what to expect. The workers were amazing and kind, explaining everything and shepherding us through. The actual experience was insane, I was going through secret passages, seeing insane other worlds, and crawling through Coraline's tube. We got a drink at the bar, it was delicious! I got a coke and asked for cherries in my soda, and they loaded it up! Great bartenders and very nice. The place is AMAZING. if you're on the fence, just go. Just do it. You won't regret it even if it's not your "thing" usually. read more

Love this place!! It's an art exhibit with a storyline. There are things to explore, see, hear, touch, trade and even smell hidden everywhere! To me, it's kind of nod to Stranger Things. You go in, it's a house but it's not a house if you explore further. start opening up doorways, cupboards, drawers, refrigerators and washing machines! Storyline - a boy and his mom move in with his Auntie. Boy disappears. Nuff said. Go see for yourself, prepare to spend around 2 &1/2 - 3 hours exploring. Do not skip opening up doors or going into closets! At first we thought maybe the doors were just for staff or were exits but we were very wrong! There is also an app for your phone to guide you or just wing it!! Remember, press all the buttons and open all the doors! You will love it as well. read more

Meow Wolf Grapevine feels like a "greatest hits" version of the Meow Wolf universe. If you've been to other locations, you'll definitely notice some familiar elements and design ideas. At times it gave me a bit of a "been there, seen that" feeling, like they pulled some of the most popular concepts from past installations and reimagined them here. But even with that, I still had a really good time. The execution is so well done, and there's something fun about recognizing pieces from other locations and seeing how they've been adapted. It's still incredibly immersive, visually impressive, and just a genuinely cool experience to walk through. It may not have had the same "wow, I've never seen this before" feeling as my first visit, but it's still absolutely worth going - and I'd still give it 5 stars without hesitation! read more

I genuinely love this place so much I ended up getting the Portal Pass because one visit was NOT enough lol. Every single time I come back I notice something new that I completely missed before. I love that you can go at your own pace. You can solve the story, look for all the little details, or just walk around and admire everything. It's so creative and there's always something to look at. It's also one of those places that makes you forget about everything for a while. Once you're inside, you get so caught up exploring that you kinda forget about the outside world, and I love that. I've been more than once and somehow I still don't get bored. It honestly feels like a different experience every time. If you're thinking about going, DO IT. It's such a fun place, whether you're going with friends, family, or even by yourself. The only bad part? Eventually you have to leave... and go back to reality. Definitely one of my favorite places to go in DFW. I call it my happy place I seriously can't wait to visit the other Meow Wolf locations too. If they're anything like this one, I already know I'm gonna love them. read more

This was the 3rd Meow Wolf installment I've been to, along with Santa Fe and Vegas. Just as cool as the others. Had a good time exploring and checking out how unreal the real unreal is. Lots of interactive pieces and videos to watch if you want to solve the puzzle, but also fun to just explore. I also added on a cocktail, I believe it was a spicy margarita and it was delicious, bartenders were super nice and made the drink quickly. Def check out this Meow Wolf or others if you're into weird interactive art exhibits. read more

Meow Wolf in Grapevine was SO much fun! I honestly wasn't sure what to expect, but I had a blast exploring all of the different rooms and interactive exhibits. There's so much to see, and I spent about two hours walking around, taking pictures, and discovering all the little details. It's definitely one of those places where you'll want to take your time because there's always something new to look at. One tip: wear comfortable clothing or athletic gear! There is quite a bit of bending, climbing, and moving around as you explore, so you'll want to be dressed for it. They also have a cute gift shop, mocktail bar, and café, so you can grab a drink or bite before or after exploring. If you're in the Grapevine area or visiting Grapevine Mills, definitely add Meow Wolf to your list! It's fun, unique, super photogenic, and a great experience whether you're going with friends or exploring on your own. read more

I figured since we were nearby it was a great time for my partner to get to check out a Meow Wolf location. I'd been to the one in Vegas and didn't know what to expect here. First, it's not a total madhouse. Everyone was quite calm and respectful, not running around acting wild. I figured it would be different but was happy to see it's a completely different theme/experience. It was fun to check out but expect to spend an hour, maybe two here. There isn't that much going on and same goes for food/beverages. Nothing very exciting if you ask me and it's not like a cool fun area to eat in either, but normal cafe style. It's in a strip mall so there's plenty of parking and you might find other things around that interest you. I'd still go but wouldn't bother with the 3D glasses. read more

Very interesting! We went here while on vacation and took the kids. It was a fun way to spend two hours exploring the non-scary haunted house. There are doors that lead to mysterious passageways, all kinds of colorful artwork, and interesting Alice in Wonderland style settings. Parking was easy. I thought the price was reasonable, given the fact that it provided about two hours of entertainment. My two complaints are that I would've preferred they not dabble in politics and I also found the story hard to follow. You are supposed to solve this mystery, and I was not able to make heads or tails of it. Perhaps that would've been easier with the app. read more

Kid friendly. I brought my 4yo, 2yo, and 10mo and went during the week to avoid crowds. We had way more fun than I expected. The kids warmed up as we explored and played more. They serve adult drinks and popcorn inside, which was a nice bonus. It's so cool and fun, I'm sure we didn't even see everything. We're already planning to go back because my 4yo can't stop talking about it. Such a fun, exciting place to experience all the art. read more

Meh. Young kids seem to enjoy this (8-10). But as adults, it was neat for about 10 minutes. It is a big maze and took about an hour to get through, but it was kinda the same art through out. Don't waste your $2 on the glasses, they dud absolutely nothing! read more

Such a trippy experience with beautiful art you get to see and feel. Easily could have spent all day here and this would have been a fun activity to being my kids to as well. A little on the pricier side as far as activities go but, well worth the money! read more

Definitely and trippy experience. If you have been to any Meow Wolf production you already know and if you haven't you need to go. I have been to the Vegas one before and this one was different but still connected. I was in town for a conference and the group of coworkers I was with wanted to attend so I tagged along. They offer and veteran/military discount so be sure to take advantage if you are eligible. The experience is interactive and immersive. You have a storyline to flow for a missing kid. As you explore the exhibit you get various clues to learn the full story. Very interesting indeed. We stayed about two hours before we got the story down. They have employees stationed throughout that will give you hints and various missions to complete. You can stay inside as long as you like. They have a bar in the lobby area and a second one hidden inside of you are able to find it. Great fun for a date night or family outing. read more

TIPS: It is cheaper to buy your ticket well in advance!!! Do not wear dresses bc you will be climbing and crawling to get to different rooms! Experience was pretty fun overall. There is soooo much to see. It took us approximately 2 hours to go through EVERY room! So many different themes happening I think you will find yourself favoriting more than one room. Restrooms were clean, you can go in and out the whole day if you want after purchasing a ticket read more

Meowolf is a cool walk through with a story line, should you download the QR code and follow the storyline. Our family just walked through and saw all the different rooms and setups. Setting is in a house. It's bizarre. But very fun to explore. They also have a little cafe for drinks, (adults too; beer and wine), snacks, and small bites.Tour guides throughout as well. read more

We really enjoyed exploring Meow Wolf, my 9 year old son had a great time, highly recommend!

This is not my favorite Meow Wolf (That would be Denver), but it's still really fun. It's inside of a mall, which is kind of odd, but still has a pretty big amount of space to explore. The story of this one is that you're exploring a house where a kid went missing, presumably into another dimension. There's no real "answer" to the mystery, but there is a ton to explore. My favorite part is in the laundry room of the house. Don't skip over looking inside the washer and dryer. read more

This was my second time coming to The Real Unreal and I loved it just as much as the first time. It's all about the energy you bring into this choose your own adventure experience so I always love spending time here getting totally lost in the installations. I was super excited to see that they added a permanent bar to the city area with cute little souvenir cups for creative cocktails. I highly recommend the lemonade one stuffed with nerds-- it was well worth $9. I am always excited to support local artist works in a permanent installation experience! Not to mention the gift shop is addicting. Everyone on staff is so kind, funny, and ready to cut it up with you and make your day even better. I wish the price was cheaper during midday weekdays rather than evenings but that has to be my only complaint. read more

It's a cool spot to wander around for a bit and get "lost" for about 2 hours, but it's not worth $50/person. It was too busy, there were too many people and someone totally farted in the little arcade room. However, I did like the app that I downloaded. It helped me check off the rooms I visited and gave me more of a backstory on this particular Meow Wolf. Cool experience. Would I do it again? No. read more

The Real Unreal - Meow Wolf - Art Museums Near Me - Grapevine, Texas

I went twice and it was so fun! The different rooms are so cool. The staff is very kind and fun. The merch was cool.

Worth the effort! Interactive Pop Museum? Hollywood set design for other worldly movie? Two hours of fun suspended belief? The Real Unreal is all of that and more. Entering through the front of a complete mid century home built inside a suburban mall,you're immediately put at ease with the sound of summertime crickets and night sky That's where real ends and unreal begins. Designed to "get you lost in" ,the entire installation is designed to creatively capture your attention. Go online and read up on it knowing,only an in person visit does it justice and I say ... Go! read more

Meow Wolf Grapevine is definitely a unique and memorable experience. I went with my wife and a friend visiting from out of town, and we spent close to five hours exploring. The art and design are incredibly creative, with endless details to discover. Neon City was the standout for us -- vibrant, fun, and unlike anything else I've seen. That said, the experience isn't without some drawbacks. It was very crowded during our visit, with lots of small children running freely, which made it harder to get immersed in the environment. The flow of the exhibit also feels a little scattered since you can start anywhere, though it works better if you follow it in a certain order. On the logistical side, staff training could be stronger. We ran into an issue with re-entry because hand stamps weren't given consistently, which caused some unnecessary delays. Bathrooms are also inconvenient since leaving means going back through security and the entry process again. Inside, additional sanitizing stations would go a long way, as most of the experience involves touching surfaces that didn't feel especially clean. Parking was straightforward, and while the ticket price felt semi-worth it for the amount of time we spent, I'd recommend buying in advance to save money. For us, it's probably a one-time visit at the DFW location, but the overall concept is impressive enough that I'd be interested in checking out Meow Wolf's other installations in the future. read more

This was our second Meow Wolf, having gone to Santa Fe in '23, and Grapevine lived up to our expectations and more. The first time I didn't know what to expect but now that I'm an experienced Meower I had a high bar for this location to meet. The experience is just amazing. The depth of the thought process, creativity, the presentation astounds the visitor unless maybe you also are an artist, visual creator or own an imagination with no boundaries. Stimuli after stimuli at every door or opening confronts you and beckons you to explore with lights, sounds, puzzles and more which is their goal of course. It kept getting more and more interesting as we went deeper into each room up and downstairs. It is a trip to say the least. The details they go through to give you enjoyment were so appreciated by me that I stopped, looked, read, gazed at things for periods I didn't expect and my wife got tired of trying to find me! Your team did a fantastic job executing an upstream take on the original museum concept in NM. Thank you Meow Wolf and I will see you again in Vegas in a few months.
