A must do in the Dallas area. This place was awesome. Hundreds of rocks painted. The art works is awesome. Kids love this. Someone has organized the rocks into themes (Disney, pets, space, dinosaurs, etc). There is something for everyone.
I’ve read bad reviews online outside of Roadtrippers. The park isn’t bad. It’s really convenient to everything. Food, shopping, site seeing. Park is well maintained. All hookups work and are taken care of. Inside pool is a little cloudy. Bathhouse is the worst part which is why I give 3 stars. It’s not unkept; but it feels dirty. I think it’s the rock floors being dark. All in all we would stay here again if we come through.
One of the best museums I’ve visited. Why? They walk you through, room by room, and put you in the experience. Start in a board room across the street. Listen to the audio opening the meeting until the explosion. Then go step by step through the first responders, the victims, the survivors. Plenty to see. Take your time and experience it all. Warning, it’s very emotional.
If you have even been to the river walk in San Antonio, this is a copy. Not in a bad way. Just for comparison. The area is clean. Plenty of views with water, waterfalls, bridges, murals, statues, etc. Not a lot of choices for great food. Mostly everything is quick. Not many sit down places to enjoy good food. Bars and drinks are another story. Live music and booze at every corner. There is also a mini golf area which is cool for the kiddos. If you are in OKC you should stop here for an evening walk, food, and a drink!
This is a fun attraction for the kiddos. They will enjoy the shootout in the streets by the Marshall and the Bank Robbers. The cattle drive is also a sight to see. Longhorns are large and their horns are huge to see in person.

The tour of this museum really puts you in a first person view of what occurred. Whether you are a believer or not, its a must to see the window, the X in the road, and first hand what the shot would have looked it. Next, there is a great walkthrough and history of how JFK became president. There is a lot about his legacy, his achievements, etc. Between the videos, displays, and audio you get a real picture for who he was. This is a great homeschool field trip. Its also great for adults who are curious about the assassination. Learn more about our trip here: https://www.facebook.com/escapervist/posts/168862728413999
Where to start.... If you have watched any documentaries, you will probably get the same eerie feeling we got. There isn't anything here. A memorial is what you see behind a metal set of gates. Everything is gone! Obviously, I wouldn't suggest making a trip here if it's out of the way, but if you are in Waco (we were nearby at the Magnolia Marketplace) you should take the drive out to see this.

We love it here! Its cute! The park is clean and has great amenities. The decor makes its feel like a cool, trendy, funky spot. The heated pool is a plus! Good Sam members get a discount. This is centrally located to see everything you would want in San Antonio and the surrounding area. Note: The park wifi is surprisingly working and has enough juice to work off. Haven't had that happen before in a park.

This is awesome history. Mission to recruit, train, educate, and hopefully share the gospel with Indians. Its a cool place to take kids to get a visual of how things were during those times. The grounds are well maintained. There isnt much to do other than walk the grounds, see the church, and observe the mill.
