    My hotel was located in Plano, and I decided to check out more of this municipality. There was free three (3)-hour parking on the streets, and I browsed throughout the downtown by foot. It was a very pretty and laidback downtown area with many nice lofts, restaurants, and shops. I felt very safe.

    I attended a production in Dec 2021 with a group of friends. BLOWN AWAY. So professional and so emotional. From the contemporary Christmas songs and scenes to the stunning birth of the Savior. Watching the 3 kings and their entourage, to all the live animals and the Heavenly Host flying through the air was nearly two hours of non-stop performance. I've been to Hollywood, Broadway, Radio City Music Hall, and Prestonwood is a great as anything I've witnessed in those performance venues.

    We will go back next year and take as many others as we can to witness the extravaganza!

    Cute little museum. My husband and I took the kids - a one and a four-year-old to the storytime on Friday morning at 11 AM. After it was done then we got to walk around on the train and read some of their museum displays. It was cute and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Downtown Plano is worth checking out walking around. There is three hour parking available that’s free right across from the train.

    It has the best of all worlds. Lakes - check. Streams - check. Wide sidewalks - check. Woods with trails - check. Great park. Only drawback is you will be with many other people, and many of them have dogs that poop on the sidewalk.

    Nice view. Plenty of lounge chairs on the boardwalk. Lots of restaurants to choose from, but my favorite is Suburban Yacht Club. I he food is delicious. The drinks are good and comes on very creative drinking glasses.’

    There are plenty of activities to do and little keepsakes that make the price worth it especially if your kid enjoys it. Make sure to do all the activities because about 85% of them have stuff you can take.

    So much fun to be had here for little ones. On holiday weekend cousins fro. 2 to 6 from all over the country got together for playtime. Great place to run off lots of energy. You do need to monitor your kids, but no biggie. Best part is you dont need to clean up! Enjoy

    A friend to me to lunch at their tea room. What a treat! The service was prompt, the food was definitely upscale, fresh, gourmet and tasty! The Coconut pie was "to die for". After our lunch we perused the aisles of the antique mall and I found just the gift for my daughter-in-love. Seriously recommend this Antique Mall and tea shop!

    Very friendly and clean mall, and the Renovation Hardware showcase store was incredible. Macy's is our favorite department store, and we were excited they had a location here. However, the Macy's had so few employees on the floor we walked across the entire floor looking for someone to pay for an item, and the inventory was sparse. We hope Macy's will support this store the way they support the Galleria and Stonebriar sister stores to it can be an equally enjoyable experience.

    I have been involved with a program at this church for several years called Prom Closet. They work the entire year to gather prom dresses, jewelry, shoes and bags for girls that normally could not afford to attend their prom. Every time I am in the church (not a member of the congregation) I see people donating, volunteering, rallying to help others.......they are spot on here and I am warmed by their generosity with time and money.
