Edward's Houston Imax Theatre
Jul 2, 2008 by Steve from Houston

Overall Rating: 7

• Excellent theater!
• Creepy people.

“Great theater! Seems to be A lot of thugs and gangster types in the area.”

Dallas Arboretum
Jun 16, 2008 by Colleen from Baltimore, Maryland

Overall Rating: 10

• Variety of plants and trees.
• Our time to spend there was limited.

“On a recent trip to Dallas, my niece and her husband took us to the Dallas Arboretum. It was one of the highlights of our trip! Anyone who loves to garden or just appreciates nature on display will find the arboretum a feast for the senses! My only regret was that I didn't have my camera with me! Everything from the gardens to the water features were well planned and executed---top notch!”

Snyder Lanes
Jun 5, 2008 by Austin from Snyder

Overall Rating: 10

• Hamburgers are perfect!
• None.

“Best hamburger in town by far!”

American Campground & Mobile
May 29, 2008 by Felipa from Del Rio

Overall Rating: 1

• The company I took with me!
• The food!

“The other day I ate there and the rice was hard so I'm never eating there again!”

Lazy L & L Campground & Store Inc
May 27, 2008 by Trina from Lewisville, TX

Overall Rating: 10

• Great staff, daily trash pick up, store on site, shuttle pick up for tubers, party on weekends.
• Noise level not observed if that bothers you then this isn't your place, it didn't bother me, just FYI.

“This is the second year in a row we have camped at Lazy L&L. We are tent campers and we camp with about 4 or 5 couples and their kids. Had a blast this year! Just like Last year. This place has a definite party atmosphere during memorial weekend. Always enough room. Well stocked store. Clean campground. Water/electric at every site. Many areas to access river. Love it.”

Carmike Cinemas
May 25, 2008 by Joyce from Burkburnett

Overall Rating: 7

• The cost of food inside.

“This cinema is just as clean as the other two cinemas in town, but the other two are up on the recent movies, where the one on Maplewood behind the mall is showing movies that just came out on DVD for sale. But the cost to see there movie is only a couple of dollars where it is about a ten dollar bill to get in at the other two cinemas. So if you are on a tight budget and poor this is the one to choose.”

Stonegate Golf Course LLC
May 18, 2008 by Cartman from Lewie

Overall Rating: 1

• Range balls were cheap.

“The greens are so inconsistent the green fees are to high and it is by far the slowest course in Lubbock.”

Alamo Drafthouse Cinema
May 9, 2008 by sherry from fairfeild

Overall Rating: 10

• It is awesome.
• Too many people.

“I love Austin!”

Texas Treasure Casino Cruise
Apr 28, 2008 by Gary from Austin

Overall Rating: 10

• Friendly staff, low table limits.
• Ship could use some work.

“The food is okay, and the ship itself is a little run-down, but the staff is very friendly and personable, the limits are low and there are plenty of tables. I went with a couple friends to check it out and we liked it so much we went back for another cruise the next day. I'll be back soon with more friends.”

Farm Operations
Apr 15, 2008 by Jenna from Lubbock

Overall Rating: 3

• I guess it had walls.
• Everything else.

“The lecture halls in this building are pathetic. Non-acoustic tiles prevent noise reflection, so you can't hear a thing. The building's whole layout is screwy.”

Mother Frances Hospital Region
Apr 6, 2008 by Sheree from Tyler, TX

Overall Rating: 1

• A few of the nurses are actually humane.

“The doctors are very condescending, arrogant, and assume the worst of everyone. The nurses are overworked, stressed out all the time, and act like you're an annoyance more than a patient. They frequently order unnecessary tests using excessive amounts of radiation. They are very forthcoming about the fact that they don't trust you, that they don't care about you, and that any reason (besides a heart attack or a gunshot wound) for your visit to their ER isn't good enough.”

The Republic Golf Club
Mar 31, 2008 by BrandtH from Ventura, CA

Overall Rating: 9

• Green grass everywhere and Great staff.
• Wish we had more time to play it again.

“What a find, this golf course was in amazing shape, the fairways, tees and greens were green and lush. The proshop staff were extremely helpful and made me feel as if I were a local golfer. Can't wait to go back and play again. A Must for all to play only 10 minutes from Downtown.”

Dallas Heritage Village at Old City Park
Mar 25, 2008 by mary from fort worth

Overall Rating: 10

• There is nothing bad at this park.

“Old city park is a fun filled park with a lot of history and really good food that is old fashioned, and during charismas time they have puppet shows, more food, make your own candle and a lot more! If you want to have fun just go to old south park with your family to learn and have a great time!”

Las Colinas
Mar 18, 2008 by Carrie from Lubbock, TX

Overall Rating: 9

• Beautiful city, well-groomed, and close to everything in DFW. The Mandalay Canal is lovely!
• I would love to see more restaurants and shops cropping up!

“Recently I have visited Las Colinas and there are many beautiful sites to see. Of course, when people hear the name "Las Colinas," they immediately think of the mustangs and the clock, which are something to see, but since my stay in Las Colinas, I've noticed that there is something more...something I hadn't noticed several years ago. Las Colinas has the feel of a very well-kept, beautiful suburb, but it's located very conveniently to Dallas and Fort Worth. A few of the many nearby attractions, which are less than 5-15 minutes away, include The Four Seasons, Gaylord Texan Resort in Grapevine (about 15 minutes away), Grapevine Vintage Railway that goes to the Fort Worth Stockyards and offers some very unique tours, and Texas Stadium in Irving. My favorite part of Las Colinas is The Mandalay Canal, which gives the area such a beautiful, relaxing feel. There are several luxury hotels very close to the canal. Although the Omni Mandalay Resort ranks, in my opinion, as the finest hotel in Las Colinas, (and possibly among the finest I've seen), my stay at the Wyndham-Las Colinas Hotel was quite pleasant. I don't remember a time when I've ever received service and hospitality with such attention-to-detail. They really go out of their way to serve their guests and I truly felt like a VIP. It's quite apparent that Las Colinas is in a huge developmental stage, with so many big companies in the area. There's no telling what the chamber of commerce has in store for the future of tourism in their pretty little city. I would go so far as to say that Las Colinas is among Texas' "best kept secrets"...a must-see!”

Splashtown
Mar 14, 2008 by Holly from Conroe

Overall Rating: 9

• Price.
• Can't bring in your own food but can picnic in parking lot.

“Splashdown is a very fun family places to go the price is fair and there is plenty for everyone to do from the littlest family member to the biggest. You can easily stay all day and not get bored.”

Mayborn Museum Complex
Mar 13, 2008 by Sally from Waco

Overall Rating: 10

• The discovery rooms.
• No restaurant.

“This is a super place to take your family - something for every age. We stayed for 5 hours, and I still had a hard time getting my kids to leave. There are lots of hands-on exhibits and tons of things to see. We thought it was great!”

By The River R V Park
Mar 9, 2008 by Dave G from Ohio

Overall Rating: 10

• Everything.
• Very dry weather area. No open campfires allowed due to county fire band.

“Great campground with wonderful people, both the management and the RV people are outstanding. The spaces are larger than what you find at other campgrounds. The campground is located off the main highways, which is a big plus for us as road noise is virtually non-existent. The management is adding new things to the campground and is determined to make this campground the best in Kerrville, TX.”

Tejas Golf Course
Feb 20, 2008 by Jason from Stephenville

Overall Rating: 3

• Local.
• Price and conditions.

“Nothing more than pasture golf and very overpriced for what you are getting. Walking costs over $20.”

Rose Bowl Lanes
Feb 14, 2008 by ME from Brenham

Overall Rating: 7

• Recent remodel is very nice.
• Owner/manager unkind to employees and customers.

“Since this is a "family fun center," I don't think liquor should be sold and profanity should be against the rules.”

Esther's Follies
Dec 30, 2007 by Selena from Dallas

Overall Rating: 10

• So much fun in such a short time.
• So many people in such a small space.

“We didn't have reservations but stood first in line for standby. They served drinks but you get it yourself. The show was non stop laughing out loud. A good mix of skits, music, magic and funny costumes. I would go back again and will tell friends to go too.”

Casa Manana
Dec 7, 2007 by Moni from Flower Mound

Overall Rating: 1

• Theater is nice; you can watch the play from any seat.
• You can have rude, under prepared people in front of you.

“TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE! Beware! I went to Casa Manana for "Frosty the Snowman". When we were leaving at the end, one of the cast members appeared in front of me from nowhere and was very rude with me. She was playing the MOM in the show. She accused me of video taping the show and even said I was giving a bad example to my kids. My 6 years old is very scared and talking about that every minute since that. I was not video taping the show at all (would I be crazy enough to take my 2 kids to a theater and video tape the show? - is it really worth the experience?) I went to the theater to have fun and what I got was my kids very scared because of a very rude under prepared cast member... not really worth the money...you can find better and nicer things to go to.... Christmas Spirit is far away from the "Frosty the snowman cast members."”

Cinemark Town Centre Cinema 6
Nov 29, 2007 by Joseph from Jackson, MS

Overall Rating: 2

• Good variety of movies and low cost.
• Filthy.

“Seemed older that it probably was. 1st show, floors nasty sticky, seats stunk. Seemed dirty. Good size theatre, good variety of movies, good prices (Matinee 2.25).”

George Ranch Historical Park
Nov 26, 2007 by kim from rosenberg

Overall Rating: 10

• I loved the trails.
• I dislike the little bridge like things near the water to dangerous.

“The park was awesome, the alligators were the best and so were the trails I would go back faster again this upcoming year. I will go at least 4 times a year if I can.”

Cibolo Bowling Club
Oct 30, 2007 by JD from Schertz

Overall Rating: 6

• Friendship gets better.
• Snoote bar keep.

“NA.”

Old Macdonald's Farm Inc
Oct 23, 2007 by Barbara from houston,texas

Overall Rating: 8

• The pool.
• Cages needed to be cleaned more often.

“We love old McDonalds farm. I recommend it to everyone. It is never crowed because it has so many acres and beautiful trees. They have nice benches that are covered. The children love to pet the animals and ride the train. There are ponies that you can ride as many times as you want. They also sell food for the animals for 50 cents. We didn't have any problem using the pool and no one said anything about it being reserved. They also have deer that room the park, and the kids love to feed them. I think this is not only fun for the kids, but it is also educational. They also allow you to bring in your own food and drinks. You can even order food and bring it in.”

Cinemark Movies 8
Oct 4, 2007 by Sis from Dallas

Overall Rating: 8

• The concessions, predictably, are horribly overpriced.

“Great place to take kids.”

Timber Creek Golf Club
Sep 12, 2007 by Adam

Overall Rating: 6

• Good greens.
• Food prices too high, not quality food.

“Unattractive cart lady (Snow?). Private club prices with trashy service. But the greens are in good condition and the guys in the pros hop are helpful.”

Timber Creek Golf Club
Sep 11, 2007 by Adam from Webster

Overall Rating: 6

• Greens good, pros hop staff great.
• Gross food, over priced, unattractive cart lady.

“I'd go back to play the course but I'd starve before I pay the price for their food.”

Edward's Houston Imax Theatre
Sep 1, 2007 by Bobby from Houston

Overall Rating: 6

• Cool safari trip.
• Needs more people.

“Houston IMAX playing the 3D movie Safari was really neat. It feels like you're right in Africa. It was my first 3D Imax.”

Cinemark Movies 8
Aug 31, 2007 by Peggy Plowman from Lewisville,Texas

Overall Rating: 10

• A clean friendly movie theater.
• Started opening late!

“This is a great movie theater because it opens early for those of us who love early going to see a good movie I have been going for years please keep the early hours like opening at 11:30 and the movies starting around 12:00. Lewisville, flower mound needs an early movie theater a lot of folks like early movie going. Some one has to give us a movie break!”

Chain-O-Lakes
Aug 24, 2007 by Rusty from El Paso

Overall Rating: 1

• Scenery.
• Management unresponsive to needs.

“This is a motel 6 in nice scenery. The carpet and beds are dingy. For the price it should be better. "Cabin" means cheap and dirty. Save your money - go camping. This place isn't worth it.”

U S S Lexington Museum On Bay
Aug 3, 2007 by Faye from Waco, TX

Overall Rating: 10

• Liked that the entire tour was at your own pace to enjoy.
• Only negative in touring ship were some tight spaces and steep stairs going from one deck to next.

“We visited the USS Lexington just this month and found it to be an incredible experience. We were in awe at what we saw and would recommend this museon on the bay for anyone visiting Corpus Christi. We spent about 2 hours touring the Lexington but it was time well spent.”

Whitewood Lanes
Jul 27, 2007 by funnyman from tye

Overall Rating: 4

• Bathrooms on both ends of building.
• No toilet paper.

“machines breakdown on frequent basis, automatic scoring is on the fritz about sixty per cent of the time, lane conditions change about as often as you throw the ball and your hands get so dirty it looks like you have repaired your own lanes which probably be faster”

Texas Treasure Casino Cruise
Jul 10, 2007 by Carole from Amarillo, TX

Overall Rating: 8

• Casino dealers were very friendly and helpful.
• The food could have been better.

“What a blast! The live music was great and the dealers were very personable. The food was mediocre at best but not terrible. A great evening for not a lot of money.”

Cibolo Bowling Club
Jul 10, 2007 by Charlie Subbada from Babbushka

Overall Rating: 9

• Used to be friendly and fun.
• Not friendly and no more fun anymore.

“This is a nice place. The people are nice. It is fun to bowl there. The bowling is like the bowling in the motherland. It is 9 pins. Sometimes called kegle bowling. Pins are in shape of diamond. No 10 pins. There are 6 peoples on team. Bowling is a team effort. Scoring is based on what team does, not individual scores. Scoring is 9 points for knocking all pins down. If middle pin stays up (normally a different color (red) than others) scoring is 12 points. If first bowler doesn't bowl down all pins next bowler must inorder to score points. Then new rack is made. Pins are set up by boys no automatic pin setting machines. Very nice. Several years back, club had many renovations to it. The Board of directors did lots of work for improvements. Now nothing is done, not even change bad lights. Have annual bb-q yearly. Not as good as used to be. Different peoples run club. They want titles not work. They big shots with big heads. Wife and me go there lots, but not anymore these peoples who run now have no gut attitudes. Need new peoples to run place like old times.”

Pine Dunes Resort & Golf Club Inc
Jul 9, 2007 by Brandon from Dallas, Tx

Overall Rating: 7

• Nice greens, layout.
• Amenities, lack of customer service.

“Nice layout and greens however the amenities are terrible for the amount you are paying. ($80 green fee). The golf shop is basically a shed and there is no customer service at all. We didn't' see any marshals and the cart girl came around sparingly. The rough was extremely high and unplayable for amateurs. We probably won't return as we can get a better value in Dallas. I would expect more from a 4.5 star rating from Golf Digest.”

Sam Houston Race Park
Jul 3, 2007 by Cathi from Houston

Overall Rating: 8

• Betting windows and machines.
• Valet parking is a long way from the seating areas!

“Great venue for horse racing as well as other events. Do wish that children were not allowed at the races. I love children, but some places are not appropriate for kids. The food served in the main dining areas and the clubhouse menu is really quite good, although service is slow during peek times. I do love the horses, so I'm a big fan of Sam Houston Race Park! Glad, the owners come up with ways to bring in revenue during the off season so they can afford to keep the track, the facilities so nice.”

The Plex
Jul 2, 2007 by AW from Seymour

Overall Rating: 2

• The outside activities worked.
• The Plex appears to have no housekeeping!

“I wish a competitor would move in and get The Plex to get their act together! I took my child on a Friday afternoon just for a few inside games for a quick summer treat. I was very disappointed in the atmosphere. The carpet is stained, everything looks and is dirty, very little staff when you needed them, trash in the grass, and two rides out of the four that we rode took our money. When I told the staff their reply was, yes, sometimes we have to start the carousel manually (well that indicates to me that it needs some repairs). They did give us our two tokens back which is a plus. My husband and I went back on Sunday with our child for a family day. I was hoping maybe things were in the condition that they were because it was late in the day on Friday and the end of the week. It was just as disgusting on Sunday as it was on Friday. We were planning on enjoying the outside games on this trip. We rode the Bumper Boats first and then the Go Karts. We then went inside for a quick drink to cool off. My husband took my son to the bathroom to wash his hands while I purchased our refreshments. The cashier didn't have change for a twenty so we had to wait for at least 7 minutes for someone to bring her change. My husband and son returned and I wanted to go wash my hands. My husband warned me that I probably didn't want to go to the bathroom. He said the men's had no soap, two dirty diapers up on the counter, and it is filthy. I decided to take my chances since I needed to wash my hands. As I rounded the corner to the restroom, the smell of urine filled the air. The women's did have soap, but you could tell it hasn't been well maintained at all. After our drink, we went outside to ride the bumper boats again. There wasn't an employee working the Bumper Boats and we and several other families stood waiting. One employee walked by and asked if all of us in line were waiting to ride and of course we said, Yes. He said that he would find someone. Later he came walking back talking to another employee and both ignored all of us. I finally went inside after about 12 minutes and found an employee and asked for someone to come to the Bumper Boats. She said that she would call someone and in about 4 minutes someone finally came over. After Bumper Boats, we rode the Go Karts again before playing Miniature Golf. The golf course is in desperate need of repairs. The water is filthy and stinky, maybe from the dead fish floating. The grass is ripped and worn causing difficulty in playing. Some of the lighting is broken and the structures are decrepit. My son enjoyed the activities and we would like to take him to enjoy these activities again; however, The Plex will have to clean-up their facility remarkably before my husband or I plan on returning! I wouldn't dream of eating their food!”

Astro-Bowling Center
Jul 1, 2007 by joel from denver, co.

Overall Rating: 4

• Few break downs.
• Bowling ball very dirty.

“When I step in to bowling center, the first thing did I do is to listen the Pinsetters and when I pinsetters are noisy this means you really need to improve your maintenance, caps are dirty and I bet your ball tracks and pins-potters are the same way looks like your maintenance people needs some improvement on maintenance schedule?”

Wadley Regional Medical Center
Jun 28, 2007 by mike from ashdown

Overall Rating: 1

• Leaving.
• Going.

“This was our sixth kid. It was the worst hospital we had ever been to. There not honest about what's going to happen.”

Delmar Lanes
Jun 26, 2007 by Michael from Houston

Overall Rating: 9

• Well maintained, quality lanes.
• Small house.

“Del-mar has undergone a recent renovation. The run down little house has re-emerged as a well appointed family bowling center. With all new top of the line Brunswick pro Avalon lanes, and Brunswick furniture, the place is a pleasure to bowl. The parking lot has had a major renovation, as well as the outside of the building. Ex-pro carol Norman has her pro-shop in del-mar, and you'll find none better at fitting and drilling bowling balls than carol. If you haven't been there for awhile, I suggest you stop by and bowl a couple of lines. You won't be disappointed.”

Cowtown Bowling Palace
Jun 21, 2007 by Anthony from Springtown

Overall Rating: 10

• I like the positive attitude from everyone there.
• Sometimes you might have to wait for a lane thus.-sat. Night.

“This alley is very welcoming and helpful. Every employee is just "another bowler" that works there and is more than happy to help you out in any way. I even joined a bowling league there and am enjoying it.”

Six Flags Astroworld
Jun 21, 2007 by Keith from Baytown, Texas

Overall Rating: 1

• No more lines?
• Nearest park is san Antonio.

“It's great. If you like a field of knee deep weeds, because Houston, one of the largest cities in the united states, no longer has a major amusement park! Sold for real estate development. Well, that's progress. Guess we'll take the grandchildren to the horse racing track instead. They'll really be thrilled with that. Unbelievable. An area with over four million people and you'd think there would be enough interest to support an amusement park. Aw what the heck, forget the kids, let's make money and sell condos.”

Action World Bowl Center
Jun 17, 2007 by NVJustin from Temple

Overall Rating: 7

• New Lanes, Friendly people.
• No Pro Shop, No Bar.

“I like Action World Bowl, but unfortunately the only thing you can do is bowl and eat. They have some video game machines but basically not worth it. The lack of a nice Pro shop shows. They sell a few things just around the corner from the main entry desk but it is hardly considered a pro shop. They just reconstructed the lanes and they are very nice. The place overall is very nice. Besides not having a pro shop the only other thing that takes away from the experience is that lack of a descent bar.”

The Plex
Jun 2, 2007 by CW from Wichita Falls

Overall Rating: 3

• Some good attractions such as mini-golf & go-carting.
• Too expensive & not worth the price.

“The Plax has a good idea, but they just don't know how to execute it. The kids play area is boring and lacks sufficient games/activities to keep their interests. The food is unappetizing and you're better off grabbing something from McDonald's for less price. The other attractions (Mini-golf, go-kart, and act) are so over priced. You end up wondering what in the world did you pay for. It's just not worth it. But, if you have money to throw away and just don't care, give it a try.”

Brunswick Varsity Lanes
May 21, 2007 by Lloyd from Lewisville

Overall Rating: 10

• One of the best bowling alleys around.
• So busy sometimes you have to wait. Oh well that¿s why they are so good.

“Brunswick Zen ton is a great bowling alley, the employees are very helpful and the facility is first class. Great bowling whether amateur or bowling on a pba experience league with pba oil patterns.”

Pine Dunes Resort & Golf Club Inc
May 19, 2007 by LINDA from WICHITA FALLS, TX.

Overall Rating: 5

• Beautiful greens and fairways.
• Management is very poor, rarely there.

“This is a great course, however, don't plan a tournament here. The management stinks and fails to follow thru with plans and promises. We held a 7 day tournament here and had others teeing off during our tournament. Management doesn't have enough carts to furnish to participants. The bar doesn't stay open for drinks after rounds. The restaurant closes early and you can't get a snack after playing. They double charged us for our room. They over charged us cart fees. It is very poorly managed. The bar runs out of beer, has no iced mugs, there is very little ice available to fill ice chests on the carts, beer is warm. Very poorly run.”
